5. No wonders to the dead are shown, (The wonders of redeeming love ;) No voice his glorious truth makes known, Nor sings the bliss of climes above.

6. Silence and solitude and gloom, In these forgetful realms appear; Deep sorrows fill the dismal tomb, And hope shall never enter there.

Lord of all power.] ANTHEM 41. [Liturgy

LORD of all pow'r and might,

Thou that art the author

Thou that art the giver of all good things! Graft in our hearts the love of thy name; Increase in us true religion, Lord of all, &c. Nourish us in all goodness, Lord of all, &c. And of thy great mercy, keep us in the same, Through Jesus Christ our Lord-Amen.

Munich.] HYMN 42. L. M.

[Stennett.

IS finish'd! so the Saviour cried,

And meekly bow'd his head and died;

'Tis finish'd-yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won.

2. "Tis finish'd-all that heav'n decreed,
And all the ancient prophets said
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me, the Saviour of mankind.

3. 'Tis finish'd-this my dying groan Shall sins of ev'ry kind atone :

Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
By this my last expiring breath.

4. "Tis finish'd-heav'n is reconcil'd,
And all the pow'rs of darkness spoil'd;
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return, and dwell with sinful men.

Nativity.] ANTHEM 43. [Luke ii. 10, 13, 14. EHOLD, I bring you glad tidings

people; For unto you is born, this day, in the city of DaA Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

[vid, And suddenly there was with the angel A multitude of the heav'nly hosts, praising God, And saying-Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will towards men.

Carlisle.] HYMN 44. 3s. & 7s.

[Rippon. IGHT of those whose dreary dwelling, Borders on the shades of death!

LIGHT

Come, and by thy love's revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath.

The new heav'n and earth's Creator,

In our deepest darkness rise,
Scatt'ring all the night of nature,

Pouring eyesight on our eyes.
2. Still we wait for thine appearing,
Life and joy thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Ev'ry poor benighted heart.

Come and manifest the favor
God hath for the ransom'd race;
Come, thou glorious God and Saviour,
Come, and bring the gospel grace.
3. Save us, in thy great compassion,
O thou mild, pacific Prince!
Give the knowledge of salvation,
Give the pardon of our sins:
By thine all-restoring merit,
Ev'ry burden'd soul release;
Ev'ry weary, wand'ring spirit,
Guide into thy perfect peace.

THY

HYMN 45. C. M.

HY daily mercies, O my God,
My waking thoughts employ;;

And while I meditate on thee,

My heart is fill'd with joy.

2. Thou giv'st me rest upon my bed,
Soft slumbers to my eyes;
Thy goodness is again renew'd,
When in the morn I rise.

3. Whether in sickness or in health,
Thy grace does me sustain;
Let me, O Lord, thy favor have,
And I shall ne'er complain.

4. Although the fig-tree blossom not,
Nor vineyard yield increase,
In thee, my Saviour and my God,
To joy I will not cease.

[Anon.

5. Yes, though the world by storms be toss'd,

And crumble into dust;
Yet still in thee, my only hope,

I will securely trust

I was glad.]

I

ANTHEM 46.

[From Ps. cxxii.

WAS glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the Lord. Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness Within thy palaces.-Amen.

We seek a rest.]

HYMN 47. C.M.

[Anon.

WE seek a rest beyond the skies,

In one eternal day;

Thro' floods and flames the passage lies;
But Jesus guards the way.

2. The swelling flood and raging flame Hear, and obey his word:

Then let us triumph in his name,

Our Jesus is the Lord.

Shrewsbury.] HYMN 48. 7s. & es. [Haydn's.

O thee, in youth's bright morning,
Father of all, we pray,

While thought and fancy dawning,
Lead on the rising day;

To thee in life's last even,
We'll tune our feebler breath,

Hear all our sins forgiven,

And softly sleep in death.

2. When from death's sleep we 'waken,
No fears shall us surprise :
All earthly things forsaken,
What joys shall meet our eyes!
With rapture then increasing,
For ever we'll rejoice,
And praises never ceasing,

Shall wake each tuneful voice.

Gently, Lord.] HYMN 49. 8s. & 7s. [Mozart's.
ENTLY, Lord, O gently lead us,
Through this lonely vale of tears,

Thro' the changes thou'st decreed us,
Till our last great change appears.
[Chorus]-O refresh us with thy blessing,
O refresh us with thy grace;
Thro' thy mercies never ceasing,
Fit us for thy dwelling place.

2. When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stråy,
Let thy goodness never fail us,

Lead us in thy perfect way.-[Chorus.]
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.[Chorus.]
4. When this mortal life is ended,
Bid us in thine arms to rest,
Till, by angel bands attended,
We awake among the blest.
