Send down a coal of heavenly fire,
To warm each waiting heart.
2 Shew us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise.

3 Within these walls let holy praise,
And love and concord dwell;

e Here give the troubled conscience peace, The wounded spirit heal.

4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow;

e And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.
-5 May we in faith receive thy word,-
In faith present our prayers;

e And in the presence of our Lord,
Unbosom all our cares.

o 6 And may the gospel's joyful sound,
Enforc'd by mighty grace,

Awaken many sinners round,
To come, and fill the place.

HYMN 126. 7s. Fairfax. [b]

A Blessing humbly requested.

Newton.

1 LORD, we come before thee now;

At thy feet we humbly bow; e Oh do not our suit disdain ! Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

2 Lord, on thee our souls depend; In compassion, now descend; -Fill our hearts with thy rich grace; o Tune our lips to sing thy praise. -3 In thine own appointed way, a Now we seek thee, here we stay ; Lord we know not how to go, Till a blessing thou bestow.

-4 Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;

Let thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

€ 5 Comfort those who weep and mourn; Let the time of joy return;

Those who are cast down, lift up,
Make them strong in faith and hope.
-6 Grant that all may seek, and find
Thee a God supremely kind:

Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in thee.

Love Divinc.

OVE divine, all love excelling!
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!

Fix in us thy humble dwelling :
All thy faithful mercies crown.

Pure, unbounded love, thou art!

o Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter ev'ry trembling heart.

a 2 Breathe, O breathe, thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast!

e Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find thy promis'd rest. -Take away the power of sinning, Alpha and Omega be;

o End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

-3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive!
Suddenly return-and never-
Never more thy temples leave!
-Then we should be always blessing,

e

Serve thee as thy hosts above;

o Pray, and praise thee without ceasing,-
Glory in thy precious love.

---4 Finish, then, thy new creation;
Pure, unspotted may we be;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restor❜d by thee:

g Chang'd from glory unto glory,

Till in heaven we take our place;

e Till we cast our crowns before thee,

a

Lost in wonder, love, and praise! Madan's Col.

HYMN 128. C. M. Reading. [b *]

Seed in different Grounds. Matt. xiii, 3.

YE

E sons of earth, prepare the plough—
Break up your fallow ground:

The sower is gone forth to sow,
And scatter blessings round.
2 The seed that finds a stony soil,
Shoots forth a hasty blade;
But ill repays the sower's toil,
Soon wither'd, scorch'd, and dead.
3 The thorny ground is sure to balk
All hopes of harvest there;
We find a tall and sickly stalk,
But not the fruitful ear.

4 The beaten path and highway side
Receive the trust in vain;

The watchful birds the prey divide,
And pick up all the grain.

o 5 But where the Lord of grace and power
Has bless'd the happy field;

How plenteous is the golden store, The deep wrought furrows yield! e 6 Father of mercies, we have need Of thy preparing grace,

-Let the same hand that gives the seed,

Provide a fruitful place.

Cowper.

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 Jesus' blood;
Give every fetter'd soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.

Pour an abundant blessing down
On ev'ry soul assembled here.

1 NOW may the God of peace and love,
Who from th' imprison'd grave

Restor❜d the Shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to save;-

2 Through the rich merits of that blood,
Which he on Calv'ry spilt,

To make th' eternal cov'nant sure,
On which our hopes are built;
3 Perfect our souls in ev'ry grace,
T'accomplish all his will;

And all that's pleasing in his sight,
Inspire us to fulfil!

4 For the great Mediator's sake
We every blessing pray;

g With glory let his name be crown'd, Through heav'ns eternal day.

Jubilee.

• 1 BLOW ye the trumpet, blow;

The gladly solemn sound

Let all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound:

o The year of jubilee is come,

Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home!

The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption by his blood

Through all the world proclaim :

The year, &c.

The heritage above,

Come take it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love :
The year, &c.

4 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive;
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live:
The year, &c.

5 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pard'ning grace;
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face:
The year, &c.

6 Jesus, our great high priest,
Has full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits, rest;

Ye mourning souls, be glad : s The year of Jubilee is come,

Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home! Toplady.

The Lord's Prayer.

FATHER to thee;

ATHER of all, we bow to thee,

Who dwell'st in heaven ador'd; But present still through all thy works, The universal Lord.

2 For ever hallowed be thy name,
By all below the skies;

And may thy kingdom still advance,
Till grace to glory rise.

3 Thy glorious purpose, Lord, fulfil;
Let all thy glory see;

And, as in heaven thy will is done,
On earth so let it be.

4 Our wants with every morning grow,
With food these wants supply;

And on our souls the Bread bestow
To eat—and never die!

5 Our sins before thee we confess;
O may they be forgiven!

As we to others mercy shew,
We mercy beg of heaven.

6 Still let thy grace our life direct;
From evil guard our way;

And in temptation's fatal path
Permit us not to stray.
