Delight in Worship.

1 FAR from my thoughts, vain world, be
Let my religious hours alone; [gone;
Fain would mine eyes my Saviour sec:
I wait a visit, Lord, from Thee.
2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire;
Come, my dear Jesus, from above,
And feed my soul with heavenly love.
3 Blest Jesus, what delicious fare,
How sweet Thine entertainments are:
Never did angels taste above
Redeeming grace, and dying love.
4 Hail, great Immanuel, all-divine,
In Thee Thy Father's glories shine:
Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One,
That eyes have seen, or angels known.

Forgetful of my highest Love.

Call me away from flesh and sense,
One sovereign word can draw me thence
I would obey the voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign.

3 Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn: Let noise and vanity be gone;

5

In secret silence of the mind
My heaven, and there my God, I find.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1709. Ab

"Where two or three.

Matt. xviii. 20.

1 " Where two or three, with sweet accord
Obedient to their sovereign Lord,
Meet to recount His acts of grace,
And offer solemn prayer and praise;

2 "There," says the Saviour, "will I be, Amid this little company;

To them unveil My smiling face,
And shed My glories round the place."
3 We meet at Thy command, dear Lord,
Relying on Thy faithful word:

Now send Thy Spirit from above,
Now fill our hearts with heavenly love.

my days;

2 The wings of every hour shall bear
Some thankful tribute to Thine ear,
And every setting sun shall see
New works of duty done for Thee.
3 But who can speak Thy wondrous deeds?
Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds:
Vast and unsearchable Thy ways;
Vast and immortal be Thy praise.

1 How sweet to leave the world awhile, And seek the presence of our Lord; GILEAD. L. M.

That we by faith may see Thy face: O speak, that we Thy voice may hear, And let Thy presence fill this place. Rev. Thomas Kelly (1769-1855), 1809.

"Te Deum Laudamus."

2 To Thee aloud all Angels cry,

The Heaven and all the Powers on high:
Thee, Holy, Holy, Holy King,
Lord God of Hosts, they ever sing.

3 The Apostles join the glorious throng; The Prophets swell th' immortal song;

The Martyrs' noble army raise Eternal anthems to Thy praise.

4 From day to day, O Lord, do we
Highly exalt and honor Thee:
Thy Name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore.
