227. God ruleth on high,

Almighty to save ; And still He is nigh,

His presence we have; The great congregation

His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation

To Jesus our King.

228.

O GOD, our Saviour and our King,

Of all we have, or hope, the Spring, Send down Thy Spirit from above, And warm our hearts with holy love.

Let love through all our actions shine, An image fair, though faint, of Thine; Let us Thy humble followers prove, Father of grace and God of love.

229. As through this wilderness

. I stray, Teach me, where'er Thy steps I see, Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way; Dauntless, untired, to follow Thee; No foes, no evil, need I fear,

O let Thy hand support me still,
If Thou, my Lord, my God, art near. And lead me to Thy holy hill.

When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my strength in waves of woe,
Saviour, Thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.

If rough and thorny be the way,
My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil and grief and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm and joy and peace.
