O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

то

The God whom heaven's triumphant And suff'ring saints on earth adore, [host Be glory as in ages past,

As now is, and so shall last

When time itself shall be no more.

HYMN XCVII. L. M.

FROM

all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator's praise arise!

Let the Redeemer's Name be sung Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue! 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Eternal truth attends Thy word; Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more.

HYMN XCVIII. P. M.

MAY

AY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And th' Almighty Father's love,

With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above!

2 Thus may we abide in union

With each other, and the Lord;
And possess, in blest communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford!

APPENDIX.

For the Propagation of the Gospel.

HYMN XCIX. C. M.

ᏀᎡᎬᎪᎢ

REAT Source of light and life, behold
A world by sin destroy'd,

Creator Spirit, as of old,

Move on the formless void.

2 Give Thou the word-that healing sound
Shall quell the deadly strife,
And earth again, like Eden crown'd,
Bring forth the Tree of Life.

3 If sang the morning stars for joy
When nature rose to view,
What strains will seraph harps employ
When Thou shalt all renew?

4 If angel hosts, unfall'n, rejoice
To hear a Saviour's name,

How will the ransom'd raise their voice
To whom that Saviour came?

5 Behold, each kindred, tongue, and tribe, Assembling round the throne,

The new creation shall ascribe
To sov'reign love alone.

HYMN C. L. M.

MA
ARK'D as the purpose of the skies
This promise meets our anxious eyes,
That heathen lands the Lord shall know,
And warm with faith each bosom glow.

2 E'en now the hallow'd scenes appear;
E'en now unfolds the promis'd year;
Lo! distant shores thy heralds trace,
And bear the tidings of thy grace.

3 Midst burning climes and frozen plains,
Where heathen darkness brooding reigns,
Lord, guide their steps, their fears subdue,
And nerve their arm, and clear their view.
4 When, worn by toil, their spirits fail,
Bid them the glorious future hail :
Bid them the crown of life survey,
And onward urge their conqu'ring way.

HAR

HYMN CI. SEVENS.

ARK! the song of Jubilee
Loud as mighty thunders roar,

Or the fulness of the sea

When it breaks upon the shore.

2 Hallelujah! for the Lord

God omnipotent shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

3 See Jehovah's banners furl'd;

Sheath'd his sword: He speaks-'tis done
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.

4 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;

He shall reign, when like a scroll,
Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away.

5 Then the end: beneath his rod
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ is All in All!
HYMN CII. P. M.

ΟΕΙ

'ER the gloomy hills of darkness Look my soul with hope and praise, See the promis'd day is breaking

Bright from heav'n with truth and grace!
Day of glory

Dawn and shine on all our race.
2 Let the Indian, let the Negro,
Let the rude barbarian see
That divine and free Redemption
Once achiev'd on Calvary !
Let the nations

Gladly to the Saviour flee.
3 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel!
Spread thy conquests, never cease;
May thy lasting wide dominion
Multiply and still increase!
Take the kingdom,

Lord of Glory, Prince of Peace.

For the Conversion of the Jews.
HYMN CII. L. M.

ARISE great God, and let thy grace

Shed its glad beams on Israel's race;
Their mis'ry let thy mercy heal,
Their trespass hide, their pardon seal.
2 How long shall Jacob's offspring prove
The sad suspension of thy love?

Say shall thy wrath perpetual burn?
And wilt thou ne'er appeas'd return?

109

3 No longer, God of truth, delay,
Thy wonted mercy now display,
And let thine all-disposing will
Thy people's stedfast hope fulfil.
4 Thy quick'ning Spirit now impart,
And wake to joy each grateful heart,
While Israel's rescued tribes in Thee
Their bliss and full salvation see.

ADOPTED sons of God, repay

The debt of love you owe

From Israel shone salvation's ray
On realms of sin and woe.

2 Jehovah's cov'nant first was seal'd
To patriarchs of old,

To Jewish prophets was reveal'd
The Saviour they foretold.

3 'Twas Abraham's seed who shed his blood Our pardon to ensure,

And now exalted, pleads with God
Our blessings to procure.

4 Our Saviour's kinsmen let us love,
And point them to the way
That leads to purest joys above,
To realms of perfect day.

5 Blest Jesus! let thy favour shine
On Judah's scatter'd race,

That they, ere long, with us may join
To sing redeeming grace.
