mf 1 LORD Jesus, are we one with Thee?
height, O depth of love!

Thou one with us upon the tree,
We one with Thee above!

p 2 Such was Thy grace that for our sake
Thou didst from heaven come down,
With us of flesh and blood partake,
In all our misery one.

3 Our sins, our guilt, in love Divine
Confessed and borne by Thee;

The gall, the curse, the wrath were Thine,
To set Thy members free.

f 4 Ascended now, in glory bright,

Still one with us Thou art;

Nor life nor death, nor depth nor height,
Thy saints and Thee can part.

mf 5 0 teach us, Lord, to know and own
This wondrous mystery,

That Thou with us art truly one
And we are one with Thee.

f 6 Soon, soon shall come that glorious day When, seated on Thy throne,

Thou shalt to wondering worlds display
That Thou with us art one.

James G. Deck.

3 0 Hope of every contrite heart,

O Joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

cr 4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is,

None but His loved ones know.

5 Jesus, our only joy be Thou,

As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity.
Bernard of Clairvaux, tr. E. C

May a mortal sing Thy name?

Lord of men as well as angels,

Thou art every creature's theme!

2 Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,
Sounded through the wide creation
Be Thy just and lawful praise.

mf 3 For the grandeur of Thy nature,
Grand beyond a seraph's thought;
For created works of power,

Works with skill and kindness wrought:

mf 4 For Thy providence, that governs

Through Thine empire's wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow;
Blessed be Thy gentle reign.

5 But Thy rich, Thy free redemption
Dark through brightness all along!
Thought is poor, and poor expression;
Who dare sing that awful song?
mf 6 Brightness of the Father's glory,
Shall Thy praise unuttered lie?
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence;
Sing the Lord who came to die:

Daily shall He be praised.-Ps. lxxii. 15.

WHEN morning gilds the skies,

My heart awaking cries,

May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair:

May Jesus Christ be praised!

2 To Thee, my God above,
I cry with glowing love,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The fairest graces spring
In hearts that ever sing,
May Jesus Christ be praised!

mf 3 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,

May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss!
My comfort still is this,

May Jesus Christ be praised!
