Whose joy is to follow our Master and Lord In each blessed ord'nance we find in thy word.

2 The pride we have cherished we gladly
forsake;

Now of thy meek spirit, O, let us partake!
And as we obey, may our longing hearts 4

With brotherly kindness each other we greet,

As now in God's presence we wash the saints' feet.

0, lend us the power of thy presence Divine,

Our hearts to the love of this duty incline, And wash from our lives every unholy stain,

Till naught of impurity with us remain. NAUFORD, 8s & 4.

Is here, in this memorial bread;
And so our feeble love is fed,

His life-blood shed for us we see;

Until the ancient graves be stirred,

Let not our hearts be desolate,
But, strong in faith, in patience wait,
Until he come !

may thine ears attend
Our interceding cries,
And grateful praise ascend,
Like incense, to the skies;
Here may thy word melodious sound,
And spread celestial joys around.

3 Here may our unborn sons

And daughters sound thy praise, And shine, like polished stones,

Through long-succeeding days; Here, Lord, display thy saving power, While temples stand and men adore.

4 Here may the listening throng
Receive thy truth in love;
Here Christians join the song
Of seraphim above,

Till all, who humbly seek thy face,
Rejoice in thy abounding grace.

Be-neath this roof, O deign to show How God can dwell with men be- low.

C

No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, No monarch kneels praying to hallow the fane.

2 More simple and lowly the walls that we raise,

And humbler the pomp of procession and praise,

Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll,

And Messiah the King who shall plead for the soul.

1 O LORD of hosts, whose glory fills
The bounds of the eternal hills,

And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands,
To dwell in temples made with hands;

2

Endue thy creatures with the grace
That shall adorn thy dwelling-place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them thine.

3

Both now and ever, Lord, protect
The temple of thine own elect;
Be thou in us and we in thee,
Through time and in eternity.

1 AND wilt thou, O eternal God,
On earth establish thine abode?
Then look propitious from thy throne,
And take this temple for thine own.
2 These walls we to thy honor raise;
Long may they echo with thy praise;
And thou, descending, fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
3 Here let the great Redeemer reign,
With all the graces of his train;
While power divine his word attends,
To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.
4 And in the great decisive day,
When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear
That souls were born to glory here.
