577 "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-Rom. v. 8.

PI THERE is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,

Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.

2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.

3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious Blood.

4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.

5 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming Blood,
And try His works to do.

Amen.

Amen.

I THERE'S a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,

A Friend who never changes,
Whose love will never die :
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy
The precious name He bears.

2 There's a Rest for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
Who love the blessed Saviour
And to the Father cry,-
A rest from every trouble,

From sin and danger free,
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.

3 There's a Home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;

(EVENING.)

"Thou, O Lord, art our Father, our Redeemer.”—Isa. lxiii. 16.

1 THE hours of day are over,

The evening calls us home; Once more to Thee, O Father, With thankful hearts we come ; F For all Thy countless blessings We praise Thy holy Name, And own Thy love unchanging, Through days and years the same.

2 For life, and health, and shelter

From harm throughout the day,
The kindness of our teachers,
The gladness of our play;
For all the dear affection

Of parents, brothers, friends,
To Him our thanks we render
Who these and all things sends.

3 But these, O Lord, can show us
Thy goodness but in part;
Thy love would lead us onward
To know Thee as Thou art;

Thy Son came down from heaven

To take away our sin, Thy Spirit dwells among us

To make us clean within.

4 For this, O Lord, we bless Thee,
For this, we thank Thee most,-
The cleansing of the sinful,
The saving of the lost;
The Teacher ever present,

The Friend for ever nigh, cres. The Home prepared by Jesus f For us above the sky.

5 Lord, gather all Thy children
To meet Thee there at last,
When earthly tasks are ended,
And earthly days are past;
With all our dear ones round us
In that eternal home,
Where death no more shall part us,

And night shall never come! Amen.
