4 Renew my will from day to day! Blend it with thine! and take away All that now makes it hard to say,

"Thy will be done!"

5 Though Thou hast call'd me to resign What most I prized, (it ne'er was mine,) I have but yielded what was Thine :

"Thy will be done!"

6 Should grief or sickness waste away
My life in premature decay;
Through Christ my Saviour still I'd say,

66

Thy will be done!"

7 Let but my fainting heart be blest With thy sweet spirit for its guest; To Thee, O Lord, I leave the rest :

8 Then when to Heaven's bright realms I soar, These words, so mix'd with tears before,

I'll sing triumphant evermore:

"Thy will be done!"

COME UNTO ME.

1 JUST as I am-without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come

2 Just as I am-and waiting not

To rid my

soul of one dark blot,

To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come!

3 Just as I am-though toss'd about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come!

4 Just as I am-poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,

O Lamb of God, I come!

5 Just as I am-Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come!

6 Just as I am-Thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down ;

Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come!

7 Just as I am-of that free love,

"The breadth, length, depth, and height” to prove, Here for a season, then above,

O Lamb of God, I come!

ON LEAVING SCHOOL.

1 LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace :
O refresh us,

Travelling through this wilderness.

2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For Thy gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives be found:
Ever faithful

To the truth may we be found:

3 So whene'er the signal's given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angel-wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ever

Reign with Christ in endless day.

1 DISMISS us with Thy blessing, Lord,
Help us to feed upon Thy word;
All that has been amiss forgive,
And let Thy truth within us live.

2 Though we are guilty, Thou art good:
Wash all our works in Jesu's blood:
Give ev'ry troubled soul release;
And bid us all depart in peace.

88

1 FOR a season call'd to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer:
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,

Let Thy mercy and Thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

What we each have now been taught,
Let our memories retain ;
May we, if we live, be brought

Here to meet in peace again.

4 Then, if Thou instruction bless, Songs of praises shall be given; We'll our thankfulness express,

Here on earth, and when in heaven.

1 Now may He, who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.

2 May He teach us to fulfil

What is pleasing in His sight,
Perfect us in all His will,

And preserve us day and night.
