2 To us the light of truth display,
And make us know and choose thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart.
3 Lead us to holiness,-the road

That we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his precepts stray.
4 Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with him forever blest;
Lead us to heaven, its bliss to share-
Fullness of joy forever there!

1 POUR out thy Spirit from on high;
Lord, thine assembled servants bless;
Graces and gifts to each supply,

And clothe us all with righteousness. 2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart,

Firmness, with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart,

And love the souls whom thou dost love;

3 To watch and pray, and never faint,

By day and night strict guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,

Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep. 4 Then, when our work is finished here,

In humble hope our charge resign: When the chief Shepherd shall appear, O God! may they and we be thine! James Montgomery.

1 COME, blessed Spirit, source of light, Whose power and grace are unconfined, Dispel the gloomy shades of night,

The thicker darkness of the mind.

2 To my enlightened eyes display

The glorious truth thy words reveal; Cause me to run the heavenly way,

Make me delight to do thy will.

3 Thine inward teachings make me know,
The wonders of redeeming love,
The vanity of things below,

And excellence of things above.

4 While through these dubious paths I stray,
Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad;
Show me the dangers of the way,

And guide my feeble steps to God.
Benjamin Beddome.

And fit me to approach my God;
Remove each vain, each worldly thought,
And lead me to thy blest abode.
Hast thou imparted to my soul

A living spark of holy fire?
O, kindle now the sacred flame;

Make me to burn with pure desire. 3 A brighter faith and hope impart,

And let me now my Saviour see;
O, soothe and cheer my burdened heart,
And bid my spirit rest in thee.

Which bade their souls to heaven as-pire,

Brightened Isaiah's vivid page,

And breathed in David's hallowed lays? 4 Is not thy grace as mighty now

As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour?

5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days;

Renew thy work, thy grace restore; And while to thee our hearts we raise, On us thy Holy Spirit pour.

And heal the anguish of my soul.

2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt
In Abram's breast, and sealed him thine?
Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt,
And glow with energy divine?-
3 That spirit which from

age to age Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways?

That heavenly influence let me find
In holy silence of the mind;
While every grace maintains its bloom,
Diffusing wide its rich perfume.

2 Thou God of love and peace divine,
O make thy light within me shine!
Forgive my sins, my guilt remove,
And send the tokens of thy love.

3 Come with thy healing from above,
Fill each and every heart with love;
O turn to flesh the flinty stone,
And let thy sovereign power be known!

1 As when in silence vernal showers Descend and cheer the fainting flowers, So, in the secrecy of love,

Falls the sweet influence from above.

3 Awake our souls to joyful songs;
Let pure devotions rise;

Till praise employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.

4 Father, we would no longer live
At this poor, dying rate,
To thee our thankful love we give,
For thine to us is great.

5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
