2 Ye heart-stricken sons, and ye daughters of woe, For you the fresh fountains of comfort o'erflow; Your souls to the blessed Redeemer unite ;- 3 And ye that have sinned and have wandered astray, Come, walk in the light, and the truth, and the way; Ye proud, from the paths of ambition depart For meek was your Master, and lowly of heart. 4 Now thanks be to him who hath given us light, The way of the Christian is easy and bright; And humbly, when touched by the chastening rod, He bows to the will of his Father and God. 670. L. M. EXETER COLL. Prayer for Steadfastness and Watchfulness. 1 GREAT GOD! our Father and our Friend, 2 Endue us with a holy fear; 4 0! that our watchful souls may fly 5 Search, gracious God! each inmost heart; From guilt and error set us free, Thy light, and truth, and peace impart, And guide us safe to heaven and thee. 1 LORD, my God, I long to know,— 2 Could my heart so hard remain, If I knew a Saviour's love? 3 When I turn mine eyes within, O, how dark, and vain, and wild! Can I deem myself thy child? 4 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, 5 Could I love the saints to meet, 6 Father, let me love thee more, 672. C. M. BARTON. “Walk in the Light.” 1 WALK in the light! so shalt thou know That fellowship of love, His Spirit only can bestow, Who reigns in light above. 2 Walk in the light! and thou shalt find Thy heart made truly his, Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined, In whom no darkness is. 3 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own Thy darkness passed away, Because that light hath on thee shone 4 Walk in the light! and e'en the tomb 5 Walk in the light! and thine shall be 511 "The kingdom of God is within you.” 1 LORD, let thy kingdom come! Let thy good Spirit find A calm abode, a peaceful home, A temple, in our mind. 2 In us reveal thy laws, And teach us all thy will, 3 Rule constantly within: Thy gracious power make known: Destroy the last remains of sin, And claim us for thine own. 4 Let peace, and joy, and love, And may our every grace improve, 674. 7 & 8s. M. BOWRING. "He that walketh uprightly, walketh surely." 1 HE who walks in virtue's way, Firm and fearless, walketh surely ; Diligent while yet 't is day, On he speeds, and speeds securely. 2 Flowers of peace beneath him grow, Suns of pleasure brighten o'er him; Memory's joys behind him go, Hope's sweet angels fly before him. 3 Thus he moves from stage to stage, Smiles of earth and heaven attending; Softly sinking down in age, And through death to God ascending. 675. L. M. The Christian. 1 HONOR and happiness unite Cowper. To make the Christian's name a praise; 2 A kingly character he bears; No change his priestly office knows; 3 Adorned with glory from on high, 4 The noblest creature seen below, 676. C. M. MONTGOMERY.
