INTRODUCTION AND CLOSE OF WORSHIP.

7s. M.

BOWRING, Humble Worship 1 WHEN before thy throne we kneel,

Filled with awe and holy fear,
Teach us, 0 our God! to feel

All thy sacred presence near. 2 Check each proud and wandering thought

When on thy great name we call;
Man is nought- is less than nought:

Thou, our God, art all in all. 3 Weak, imperfect creatures, we

In this vale of darkness dwell;
Yet presume to look to thee,

'Midst thy light ineffable.
4 0, receive the praise that dares

Seek thy heaven-exalted throne;
Bless our offerings, hear our pray'rs

Infinite and Holy One !

P. M.

ANONYMOUS
Solemn Invocation.
1 COME, thou Almighty King !
Help us thy name to sing ;

Help us to praise !
Father all glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come and reign over us,

Ancient of days !

2 Come, thou all gracious Lord !
By heaven and earth adored,

Our prayer attend !
Come, and thy children bless ;
Give thy good word success ;
Make thine own holiness

On us descend !

3 Never from us depart;
Rule thou in every heart,

Hence, evermore !
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

S. M. MONTGOMAP.

Exhortation to Praise.
1 Stand up and bless the Lord,

Ye people of his choice ;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,

With heart, and soul and voice. 2 Though high above all praise,

Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,

And laud and magnify ? 3 O for the living flame

From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,

And wing to heaven our thought! 4 There, with benign regard,

Our hymns he deigns to hear ; Though unrevealed to mortal sense,

The spirit feels him near.

5 Stand up and bless the Lord,

The Lord your God adore ;
Stand up and bless his glorious name,

Henceforth for evermore.

L. M.

WATTS. Public Worship. 1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,

Ye nations, bow with sacred joy, Know that the Lord is God alone:

He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid,

Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep we strayed,

He brought us to his fold again, 3 We are his people ; we his care ;

Our souls, and all our mortal frame : What lasting honors shall we rear,

Almighty Maker, to thy name ? 4 We'll crowd thy gates, with thankful songs

High as the heaven our voices raise ; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,

Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command;

Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, · When rolling years shall cease to move.

5.

L. M. Tate & Brady.

The Same.
1 0, COME, loud anthems let us sing,

Loud thanks to our Alinighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's Rock we praise.

2 Into his presence let us haste,

To thank him for his favors past
To him address, in joyful songs,

The praise that to his name belongs.
3 0, let us to his courts repair,

And bow with adoration there;
With joy and fear devoutly all
Before the Lord, our Maker, fall!

6.

L. M.

Watts “Horo amiable are thy Tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts.” 1 Great God! attend, while Zion sings

The joy that from thy presence springs,
To spend one day with thee, on earth,

Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place

Within thy house, O God of grace,
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,

Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. 3 God is our Sun- he makes our day; God is our shield — he guards our way; All needful grace he will bestow,

And crown that grace with glory too. 4 O God! our king, whose sovereign sway

The glorious hosts of heaven obey,
Thy willing servants may we be,
For blest are they who trust in thee.

EDNESTON The Lord's Day. 1 When the worn spirit wants repose,

And sighs her God to seek,
How sweet to hail the evening's close
That ends the weary week!
