2 My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;

My soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel, Lord.

3 Thy heavenly words my heart engage, And well employ my tongue,

112 KEMERTON P. M.

And in my weary pilgrimage
Yield me a heavenly song.

4 When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace

Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.

2 When our foes are near us,
Then thy word doth cheer us:
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.

3 When the storms are o'er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.

4 Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure

By thy word imparted
To the simple-hearted?
5 Word of mercy, giving
Succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying!
6 O that we, discerning
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee,
Evermore be near thee!

Rev. Sir Henry Williams Baker

2 It shows to man his wand'ring ways,
And where his feet have trod;

And brings to view the matchless grace
Of a forgiving God.

4 This lamp shall guide our steps aright
And cheer us on our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.

3 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts, 5 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,

In this dark vale of tears;

Life, light and joy it still imparts,

And quells our rising fears.

Be thou forever near;

Teach me to love thy sacred Word
And view my Saviour there.

2 Truth, strengthened by the strength of Expanding with th' expanding soul,
thought,

Pours inexhaustible supplies,
Whence sagest teachers may be taught,
And wisdom's self become more wise.

3 More glorious still as centuries roll,
New regions blest, new powers unfurled,

116 CONVENT BELL 78. Double

Its waters shall o'erflow the world,

4 Flow to restore, but not destroy;
As when the cloudless lamp of day
Pours out its floods of light and joy,
And sweeps each lingering mist away.
Rev. John Bowring, LL. D.

Spread,oh,spread,thou mighty word,Spread the king-dom of the Lord, {where, his breath has given Life to beings meant for heaven.}

D.C. Strong and holy, just and true, Work-ing both to will and do.

A-MEN.
