1 PART in peace; with deep thanksgiving, 2 Let thy voice, with sweet commanding,

Rendering, as we homeward tread,

Gracious service to the living,

Tranquil memory to the dead.

Bid our griefs and struggles end; Peace which passeth understanding On our waiting spirits send.

Prayer for Guidance. HASTINGS. 2 Oh may all enjoy the blessing

1 GENTLY, Lord, oh! gently lead us
Through this lonely vale of tears,
Through the changes thou'st decreed us,
Till our last great, change appears.

2 When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray,
Let thy goodness never fail us;
Lead us in thy perfect way.

3 In the hour of pain and anguish,
In the hour when death draws near,
Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear.

[blocks in formation]

Which thy word's designed to give! Let us all, thy love possessing, Joyfully the truth receive.

Close of Evening Worship. C. ROBBINS.

1 Lo! the day of rest declineth;
Gather fast the shades of night:
May the Sun that ever shineth
Fill our souls with heavenly light.

2 While, thine ear of love addressing,
Thus our parting hymn we sing,
Father, give thine evening blessing;
Fold us safe beneath thy wing.

STEELB.

God our Constant Benefactor. 1 My Maker and my King, To thee my all I owe : Thy sovereign bounty is the spring Whence all my blessings flow.

2 Thou ever good and kind,

A thousand reasons move, A thousand obligations bind, My heart to grateful love.

3 The creature of thy hand,
On thee alone I live:

My God! thy benefits demand
More praise than tongue can give.

4 Oh let thy grace inspire

My soul with strength divine; Let all my powers to thee aspire, And all my days be thine!

2 The sorrows of the mind

Be banished from the place: Religion never was designed

To make our pleasures less.

3 The men of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruits, on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow.

4 Then let our songs abound,

And every tear be dry:

WATTS. 2 Assisted by his grace,

We still pursue our way;
And hope at last to reach the prize,
Secure in endless day.

3 'Tis he that works to will;

'Tis he that works to do: His is the power by which we act; His be the glory too.

We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground, 2 But shallow cisterns yield

To fairer worlds on high.

[blocks in formation]

A scanty, short supply:

GUYON

The morning sees them amply filled;

At evening they are dry.

3 The cisterns I forsake,

O Fount of Life! for thee; My thirst with living waters slake, And drink eternity.
