 Creation of the World 
 Genesis 1 : 1-19 
 
 1 IN the beginning God created the 
 heaven and the earth. 
 
 2 And the earth was without form, 
 and void ; and darkness was upon 
 the face of the deep. And the Spirit of 
 God moved upon the face of the waters. 
 
 3 And God said, Let there be light: 
 and there was light. 
 
 4 And God saw the light, that it was 
 good : and God divided the light from 
 the darkness. 
 
 5 And God called the light Day, and 
 the darkness he called Night. And the 
 evening and the morning were the first 
 day. 
 
 6 If And God said, Let there be a firma- 
 ment in the midst of the waters, and let 
 it divide the waters from the waters. 
 
 7 And God made the firmament, and 
 divided the waters which were under 
 the firmament from the waters which 
 were above the firmament : and it was 
 so. 
 
 8 And God called the firmament 
 Heaven. And the evening and the 
 morning were the second day. 
 
 9 H And God said, Let the waters 
 under the heaven be gathered together 
 unto one place, and let the dry land 
 appear : and it was so. 
 
 10 And God called the dry land Earth ; 
 and the gathering together of the waters 
 called he Seas : and God saw that it was 
 good. 
 
 11 And God said, Let the earth bring 
 forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and 
 the fruit tree yielding fruit after his 
 
 kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the 
 earth : and it was so. 
 
 12 And the earth brought forth grass, 
 and herb yielding seed after his kind, 
 and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed 
 was in itself, after his kind : and God 
 saw that it was good. 
 
 13 And the evening and the morning 
 were the third day. 
 
 14 H And God said, Let there be lights 
 in the firmament of the heaven to divide 
 the day from the night ; and let them be 
 for signs, and for seasons, and for days, 
 and years : 
 
 15 And let them be for lights in the 
 firmament of the heaven to give light 
 upon the earth : and it was so. 
 
 16 And God made two great lights; 
 the greater light to rule the day, and the 
 lesser light to rule the night: he made 
 the stars also. 
 
 17 And God set them in the firmament 
 of the heaven to give light upon the 
 earth, 
 
 18 And to rule over the day and over 
 the night, and to divide the light from 
 the darkness: and God saw that it was 
 good. 
 
 19 And the evening and the morning 
 were the fourth day.

 Creation of Man 
 Genesis 1 : 20-31 
 
 20 AND God said, Let the waters 
 bring forth abundantly the moving crea- 
 ture that hath life, and fowl that may 
 fly above the earth in the open firma- 
 ment of heaven, 
 
1Responstx>e IReafctnas 
 
 21 And God created great whales, and 
 every living creature that moveth, which 
 the waters brought forth abundantly, 
 after their kind, and every winged fowl 
 after his kind : and God saw that it was 
 good. 
 
 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be 
 fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters 
 in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the 
 earth. 
 
 23 And the evening and the morning 
 were the fifth day. 
 
 24 If And God said, Let the earth bring 
 forth the living creature after his kind, 
 cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of 
 the earth after his kind : and it was so. 
 
 25 And God made the beast of the 
 earth after his kind, and cattle after their 
 kind, and everything that creepeth upon 
 the earth after his kind : and God saw 
 that it was good. 
 
 26 If And God said, Let us make man 
 in our image, after our likeness : and let 
 them have dominion over the fish of 
 the sea, and over the fowl of the air, 
 and over the cattle, and over all the 
 earth, and over every creeping thing that 
 creepeth upon the earth. 
 
 27 So God created man in his own 
 image, in the image of God created he 
 him ; male and female created he them. 
 
 28 And God blessed them, and God 
 said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, 
 and replenish the earth, and subdue it : 
 and have dominion over the fish of the 
 sea, and over the fowl of the air, and 
 over every living thing that moveth upon 
 the earth. 
 
 29 If And God said, Behold, I have 
 given you every herb bearing seed, which 
 is upon the face of all the earth, and 
 every tree, in the which is the fruit of 
 a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be 
 for meat. 
 
 30 And to every beast of the earth, 
 and to every fowl of the air, and to 
 every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 
 
 wherein there is life, / have given every 
 green herb for meat : and it was so. 
 
 31 And God saw every thing that he 
 had made, and, behold, it zvas very 
 good. And the evening and the morning 
 were the sixth day.

 The Great Flood 
 
 Genesis VI 15-14; VII: 5-10 and 17-24 
 
 6: 5 If AND God saw that the wicked- 
 ness of man was great in the earth, and 
 that every imagination of the thoughts 
 of his heart was only evil continually. 
 
 6 And it repented the Lord that he had 
 made man on the earth, and it grieved 
 him at his heart. 
 
 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy 
 man whom I have created from the face 
 of the earth; both man, and beast, and 
 the creeping thing, and the fowls of the 
 air ; for it repenteth me that I have made 
 them. 
 
 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of 
 the Lord. 
 
 9 If These are the generations of Noah : 
 Noah was a just man and perfect in his 
 generations, and Noah walked with God. 
 
 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, 
 Ham, and Japheth. 
 
 11 The earth also was corrupt before 
 God; and the earth was filled with vio- 
 lence. 
 
 12 And God looked upon the earth, 
 and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh 
 had corrupted his way upon the earth. 
 
 13 And God said unto Noah, The end 
 of all flesh is come before me; for the 
 earth is filled with violence through 
 them; and, behold, I will destroy them 
 with the earth. 
 
 14 If Make thee an ark of gopher 
 wood; rooms shalt thou make in the 
 ark, and shalt pitch it within and with- 
 out with pitch. 
 
1Responstv>e Ifteabings 
 
 7 : 5 And Noah did according unto all 
 that the Lord commanded him. 
 
 6 And Noah was six hundred years 
 old when the flood of waters was upon 
 the earth. 
 
 7 HAnd Noah went in, and his sons, 
 and his wife, and his sons' wives with 
 him, into the ark, because of the waters 
 of the flood. 
 
 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that 
 are not clean, and of fowls, and of every 
 thing that creepeth upon the earth, 
 
 9 There went in two and two unto 
 Noah into the ark, the male and the 
 female, as God had commanded Noah. 
 
 io And it came to pass after seven 
 days, that the waters of the flood were 
 upon the earth. 
 
 17 And the flood was forty days upon 
 the earth ; and the waters increased, and 
 bare up the ark, and it was lifted up 
 above the earth. 
 
 18 And the waters prevailed, and were 
 increased greatly upon the earth; and 
 the ark went upon the face of the 
 waters. 
 
 19 And the waters prevailed exceed- 
 ingly upon the earth; and all the high 
 hills, that were under the whole heaven 
 were covered. 
 
 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the 
 waters prevail ; and the mountains were 
 covered. 
 
 21 And all flesh died that moved upon 
 the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, 
 and of beast, and of every creeping 
 thing that creepeth upon the earth, and 
 every man : 
 
 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath 
 of life, of all that was in the dry land, 
 died. 
 
 23 And every living substance was de- 
 stroyed which was upon the face of the 
 ground, both man, and cattle, and the 
 creeping things, and the fowl of the 
 
 heaven; and they were destroyed from 
 the earth : and Noah only remained alive, 
 and they that were with him in the ark. 
 24 And the waters prevailed upon the 
 earth a hundred and fifty days. 
 
 Selection 4 
 
 The Tower of Babel 
 Genesis XI : 1-9 
 
 1 AND the whole earth was of one 
 language, and of one speech. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, as they jour- 
 neyed from the east, that they found a 
 plain in the land of Shinar; and they 
 dwelt there. 
 
 3 And they said one to another, Go 
 to, let us make brick, and burn them 
 thoroughly. And they had brick for 
 stone, and slime had they for mortar. 
 
 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us 
 a city, and a tower, whose top may reach 
 unto heaven ; and let us make us a name, 
 lest we be scattered abroad upon the face 
 of the whole earth. 
 
 5 And the Lord came down to see the 
 city and the tower, which the children of 
 men builded. 
 
 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the 
 people is one, and they have all one 
 language ; and this they begin to do : and 
 now nothing will be restrained from 
 them, which they have imagined to do. 
 
 7 Go to, let us go down, and there 
 confound their language, that they may 
 not understand one another's speech. 
 
 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad 
 from thence upon the face of all the 
 earth: and they left off to build the 
 city. 
 
 9 Therefore is the name of it called 
 Babel ; because the Lord did there con- 
 found the language of all the earth : 
 and from thence did the Lord scatter 
 them abroad upon the face of all the 
 earth.

 The Trial of Abraham's Faith 
 Genesis XXII : 1-13 ; 15:18 
 
 1 AND it came to pass after these 
 things, that God did tempt Abraham, 
 and said unto him, Abraham: and he 
 said, Behold, here I am. 
 
 2 And he said, Take now thy son, 
 thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, 
 and get thee into the land of Moriah ; 
 and offer him there for a burnt offering 
 upon one of the mountains which I will 
 tell thee of. 
 
 3 11 And Abraham rose up early in 
 the morning and saddled his ass, and 
 took two of his young men with him, 
 and Isaac his son, and clave the wood 
 for the burnt offering, and rose up, and 
 went unto the place of which God had 
 told him. 
 
 4 Then on the third day Abraham 
 lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar 
 off. 
 
 5 And Abraham said unto his young 
 men, Abide ye here with the ass; and 
 I and the lad will go yonder and wor- 
 ship, and come again to you. 
 
 6 And Abraham took the wood of the 
 burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac 
 his son ; and he took the fire in his hand, 
 and a knife; and they went both of them 
 together. 
 
 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his 
 father, and said, My father : and he said, 
 Here am I, my son. And he said, Be- 
 hold the fire and the wood : but where is 
 the lamb for a burnt offering? 
 
 8 And Abraham said, My son, God 
 will provide himself a lamb for a burnti 
 offering : so they went both of them 
 together. 
 
 9 And they came to the place which 
 God had told him of ; and Abraham built 
 an altar there, and laid the wood in order, 
 and bound Isaac his son, and laid himi 
 on the altar upon the wood. 
 
 10 And Abraham stretched forth his 
 hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 
 
 11 And the Angel of the Lord called 
 unto him out of heaven, and said, Abra- 
 ham, Abraham : and he said, Here am I. 
 
 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand 
 upon the lad, neither do thou anything 
 unto him : for now I know that thou 
 fearest God, seeing thou hast not with- 
 held thy son, thine only son, from me. 
 
 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, 
 and looked, and behold behind him a ram 
 caught in a thicket by his horns : and 
 Abraham went and took the ram, and 
 offered him up for a burnt offering in 
 the stead of his son. 
 
 15 If And the Angel of the Lord called 
 unto Abraham out of heaven the second 
 time, 
 
 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, 
 saith the Lord, for because thou hast 
 done this thing, and hast not withheld 
 thy son, thine only son, 
 
 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, 
 and in multiplying I will multiply thy 
 seed as the stars of the heaven, and as 
 the sand which is upon the sea shore ; 
 and thy seed shall possess the gate of 
 his enemies ; 
 
 18 And in thy seed shall all the na- 
 tions of the earth be blessed; because 
 thou hast obeyed my voice.

 Jacob's Dream 
 Genesis XXVIII : 10-22 
 
 10 If AND Jacob went out from Beer- 
 sheba, and went toward Haran. 
 
 11 And he lighted upon a certain place, 
 and tarried there all night, because the 
 sun was set ; and he took of the stones 
 of that place, and put them for his pil- 
 lows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 
 
 12 And he dreamed, and behold a 
 
•(Responsive IReaMngs 
 
 ladder set up on the earth, and the top 
 of it reached to heaven : and behold the 
 angels of God ascending and descending 
 on it. 
 
 13 And, behold, the Lord stood above 
 it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abra- 
 ham, thy father, and the God of Isaac : 
 the land whereon thou liest, to thee will 
 I give it, and to thy seed ; 
 
 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust 
 of the earth ; and thou shalt spread 
 abroad to the west, and to the east, and 
 to the north, and to the south : and in 
 thee and in thy seed shall all the families 
 of the earth be blessed. 
 
 15 And behold, I am with thee, and 
 will keep thee in all places whither thou 
 goest, and will bring thee again into this 
 land ; for I will not leave thee, until I 
 have done that which I have spoken to 
 thee of. 
 
 16 H And Jacob awaked out of his 
 sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is 
 in this place ; and I knew it not. 
 
 17 And he was afraid, and said, How 
 dreadful is this place ! this is none other 
 but the house of God, and this is the 
 gate of heaven. 
 
 18 And Jacob rose up early in the 
 morning, and took the stone that he had 
 put for his pillows, and set it up for a 
 pillar, and poured oil upon the top 
 of it. 
 
 19 And he called the name of that 
 place Beth-el : but the name of that city 
 was called Luz at the first. 
 
 20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If 
 God will be with me, and will keep me 
 in this way that I go, and will give me 
 bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 
 
 21 So that I come again to my father's 
 house in peace; then shall the Lord be 
 my God : 
 
 22 And this stone, which I have set for 
 a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all 
 that thou shalt give me I will surely give 
 the tenth unto thee.

 Joseph's Coat 
 Genesis XXXVII 123-35 
 
 23 II AND it came to pass, when Joseph 
 was come unto his brethren, that they 
 stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat 
 of many colors that was on him; 
 
 24 And they took him, and cast him 
 into a pit : and the pit was empty, there 
 was no water in it. 
 
 25 And they sat down to eat bread: 
 and they lifted up their eyes and looked, 
 and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites 
 came from Gilead, with their camels 
 bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, 
 going to carry it down to Egypt. 
 
 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, 
 What profit is it if we slay our brother, 
 and conceal his blood? 
 
 27 Come, and let us sell him to the 
 Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be 
 upon him ; for he is our brother and 
 our flesh ; and his brethren were 
 content. 
 
 28 Then there passed by Midianites 
 merchantmen ; and they drew and lifted 
 [up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph 
 to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of 
 silver : and they brought Joseph into 
 Egypt. 
 
 29 U And Reuben returned unto the 
 pit ; and, behold, Joseph was not in the 
 pit; and he rent his clothes. 
 
 30 And he returned unto his brethren, 
 and said, The child is not ; and I, whither 
 shall I go? 
 
 31 And they took Joseph's coat, and 
 killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the 
 coat in the blood ; 
 
 32 And they sent the coat of many 
 colours, and they brought it to their 
 father; and said, This have we found: 
 know now whether it be thy son's coat 
 or no. 
 
 33 And he knew it, and said, It is my 
 son's coat ; an evil beast hath devoured 
 
1Responst\>e IReafcings 
 
 him; Joseph is without doubt rent in 
 pieces. 
 
 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put 
 sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned 
 for his son many days. 
 
 35 And all his sons and all his daugh- 
 ters rose up to comfort him; but he re- 
 fused to be comforted ; and he said, For 
 I will go down into the grave unto my 
 son mourning. Thus his father wept for 
 him.

 The Destruction of the Egyptians 
 Exodus XV: 19-31 
 
 19 If AND the Angel of God, which 
 went before the camp of Israel, removed 
 and went behind them; and the pillar of 
 the cloud went from before their face, 
 and stood behind them : 
 
 20 And it came between the camp of 
 the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; 
 and it was a cloud and darkness to 
 them, but it gave light by night to these: 
 so that the one came not near the other 
 all the night. 
 
 21 And Moses stretched out his hand 
 over the sea, and the Lord caused the 
 sea to go back by a strong east wind all 
 that night, and made the sea dry land, 
 and the waters were divided. 
 
 22 And the children of Israel went into 
 the midst of the sea upon the dry 
 ground: and the waters were a wall unto 
 them on their right hand, and on their 
 left. 
 
 23 If And the Egyptians pursued, and 
 went in after them to the midst of the 
 sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his 
 chariots, and his horsemen. 
 
 24 And it came to pass, that in the 
 morning watch the Lord looked unto 
 the host of the Egyptians through the 
 pillar of fire and of the cloud, and 
 troubled the host of the Egyptians. 
 
 25 And took off their chariot wheels. 
 
 that they drave them heavily: so that 
 the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the 
 face of Israel: for the Lord fighteth for 
 them against the Egyptians. 
 
 26 11 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
 Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that 
 the waters may come again upon the 
 Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon 
 their horsemen. 
 
 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand 
 over the sea, and the sea returned to his 
 strength when the morning appeared; 
 and the Egyptians fled against it; and 
 the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the 
 midst of the sea. 
 
 28 And the waters returned, and cov- 
 ered the chariots, and the horsemen, 
 and all the host of Pharaoh that came 
 into the sea after them ; there remained 
 not so much as one of them. 
 
 29 But the children of Israel walked 
 upon dry land in the midst of the sea ; 
 and the waters were a wall unto them on 
 their right hand, and on their left. 
 
 30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day 
 out of the hand of the Egyptians ; and 
 Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the 
 sea shore. 
 
 31 And Israel saw that great work 
 which the Lord did upon the Egyptians : 
 and the people feared the Lord, and be- 
 lieved the Lord, and his servant Moses.

 of them that love me and keep my com-

 ii Thou shalt not take the name of

 his name in vain. 
 
 12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, 
 as the Lord thy God hath commanded 
 thee. 
 
 13 Six days thou shalt labour and do

 15 And remember that thou wast a 
 servant in the land of Egypt, and that 
 the Lord thy God brought thee out thence 
 through a mighty hand and by a 
 stretched out arm : therefore the Lord 
 thy God commanded thee to keep the 
 sabbath day.

 longed, and that it may go well with

 18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 
 
 19 Neither shalt thou steal. 
 
 20 Neither shalt thou bear false wit-

 21 Neither shalt thou desire thy 
 neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet 
 thy neighbour's house, his field, or his 
 manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, 
 or his ass, or any thing that is thy 
 neighbour's. 
 
 22 1f These words the Lord spake unto 
 all your assembly in the mount out of 
 the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of 
 the thick darkness, with a great voice ; 
 and he added no more. And he wrote 
 them in two tables of stone, and de- 
 livered them unto me.

 The Death of Samson 
 
 Judges XVI: 23-31

 great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, 
 and to rejoice: for they said, Our god

 hath delivered Samson our enemy into 
 our hand. 
 
 24 And when the people saw him, they 
 praised their god : for they said, Our god 
 hath delivered into our hands our enemy, 
 and the destroyer of our country, which 
 slew many of us. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, when their 
 hearts were merry, that they said, Call 
 for Samson, that he may make us sport. 
 And they called for Samson out of the 
 prison house ; and he made them sport : 
 and they set him between the pillars. 
 
 26 And Samson said unto the lad that 
 held him by the hand, Suffer me that I 
 may feel the pillars whereupon the 
 house standeth, that I may lean upon 
 them. 
 
 27 Now the house was full of men and 
 women ; and all the lords of Philistines 
 were there ; and there were upon the roof 
 about three thousand men and women, 
 that beheld while Samson made sport. 
 
 28 And Samson called unto the Lord, 
 and said, O Lord God, remember me, I 
 pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray 
 thee, only this once, O God, that I may 
 be at once avenged of the Philistines for 
 my two eyes. 
 
 29 And Samson took hold of the two 
 middle pillars upon which the house 
 stood, and on which it was borne up, of 
 the one with his right hand, and of the 
 other with his left. 
 
 30 And Samson said, Let me die with 
 the Philistines. And he bowed himself 
 with all his might ; and the house fell 
 upon the lords, and upon all the people 
 that were therein. So the dead which he 
 slew at his death were more than they 
 which he slew in his life. 
 
 31 Then his brethren and all the house 
 of his father came down, and took him, 
 and brought him up, and buried him be- 
 tween Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying- 
 place of Manoah his father. And he 
 judged Israel twenty years.

 David's Song of Thanksgiving

 1 AND David spake unto the Lord the 
 words of this song, in the day that the 
 Lord had delivered him out of the hands 
 of all his enemies, and out of the hands 
 of Saul : 
 
 2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, 
 and my fortress, and my deliverer ; 
 
 3 The God of my rock ; in him will I 
 trust : he is my shield, and the horn of 
 my salvation, my high tower, and my 
 refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from 
 violence. 
 
 4 I will call on the Lord, ivho is worthy 
 to be praised : so shall I be saved from 
 mine enemies. 
 
 5 When the waves of death compassed 
 me, the floods of ungodly men made me 
 afraid ; 
 
 6 The sorrows of hell compassed me 
 about ; the snares of death prevented 
 me. 
 
 7 In my distress I called upon the 
 Lord, and cried to my God : and he did 
 hear my voice out of his temple, and 
 my cry did enter into his ears. 
 
 8 Then the earth shook and trembled ; 
 the foundations of heaven moved and 
 shook, because he was wroth. 
 
 9 There went up a smoke out of his 
 nostrils, and fire out of his mouth de- 
 voured : coals were kindled by it. 
 
 10 He bowed the heavens also, and 
 came down ; and darkness zuas under his 
 feet. 
 
 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did 
 fly : and he was seen upon the wings of 
 the wind.

 round about him, dark waters, and thick 
 clouds of the skies.

 The Blessing of Forgiveness 
 Psalm XXXII 
 
 1 BLESSED is he whose transgres-

 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the 
 Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose 
 spirit there is no guile.

 4 For day and night thy hand was 
 heavy upon me : my moisture is turned 
 into the drought of summer. Selah. 
 
 5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and 
 mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I 
 will confess my transgressions unto the 
 Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of 
 my sin. Selah. 
 
 6 For this shall every one that is godly 
 pray unto thee in a time when thou 
 mayest be found : surely in the floods of 
 great waters they shall not come nigh 
 unto him. 
 
 7 Thou art my hiding place ; thou shalt 
 preserve me from trouble; thou shalt 
 compass me about with songs of de- 
 liverance. Selah. 
 
 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee 
 in the way which thou shalt go : I will 
 guide thee with mine eye. 
 
 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the 
 mule, which have no understanding:

 our sins; nor rewarded us according to 
 our iniquities. 
 
 ii For as the heaven is high above the 
 earth, so great is his mercy toward them 
 that fear him. 
 
 12 As far as the east is from the west, 
 so far hath he removed our trans- 
 gressions from us.

 him.

 membereth that we are dust.

 as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 
 
 16 For the wind passeth over it, and 
 it is gone; and the place thereof shall

 fear him, and his righteousness unto

 "Seek Ye the Lord"

 1 HO, every one that thirsteth, come 
 ye to the waters, and he that hath no 
 money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, 
 come, buy wine and milk without money 
 and without price. 
 
 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for 
 that which is not bread? and your 
 labour for that which satisfieth not? 
 hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye 
 that which is good, and let your soul 
 delight itself in fatness. 
 
 3 Incline your ear, and come unto me : 
 hear, and your soul shall live ; and I 
 will make an everlasting covenant with 
 you, even the sure mercies of David. 
 
 4 Behold, I have given him for a 
 witness to the people, a leader and com- 
 mander to the people. 
 
 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that 
 thou knowest not, and nations that knew 
 not thee shall run unto thee, because 
 of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy 
 One of Israel ; for he hath glorified 
 thee. 
 
 6 If Seek ye the Lord while he may 
 be found, call ye upon him while he is 
 near :

 the unrighteous man his thoughts : and 
 let him return unto the Lord, and he

 will have mercy upon him; and to our 
 God, for he will abundantly pardon. 
 
 8 If For my thoughts are not your 
 thoughts, neither are your ways my 
 ways, saith the Lord. 
 
 9 For as the heavens are higher than 
 the earth, so are my ways higher than 
 your ways, and my thoughts than your 
 thoughts. 
 
 10 For as the rain cometh down, and 
 the snow from heaven, and returneth 
 not thither, but watereth the earth, and 
 maketh it bring forth and bud, that it 
 may give seed to the sower, and bread 
 to the eater: 
 
 ii So shall my word be that goeth 
 forth out of my mouth: it shall not 
 return unto me void, but it shall ac- 
 complish that which I please, and it 
 shall prosper in the thing whereto I 
 sent it. 
 
 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and 
 be led forth with peace: the mountains 
 and the hills shall break forth before 
 you into singing, and all the trees of 
 the field shall clap their hands. 
 
 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up 
 the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall 
 come up the myrtle tree : and it shall 
 be to the Lord for a name, for an ever- 
 lasting sign that shall not be cut off.

 should bring certain of the children of 
 Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the

 but well favoured, and skilful in all 
 wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and 
 understanding science, and such as had 
 ability in them to stand in the king's 
 palace, and whom they might teach the 
 learning and the tongue of the Chal- 
 deans.

 provision of the king's meat, and of the 
 wine which he drank : so nourishing them 
 three years, that at the end thereof they 
 might stand before the king.

 he might not defile himself. 
 
 9 Now God had brought Daniel into 
 favour and tender love with the prince 
 of the eunuchs. 
 
 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said 
 unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, 
 who hath appointed your meat and your 
 drink : for why should he see your faces 
 worse liking than the children which are 
 of your sort? then shall ye make me 
 endanger my head to the king. 
 
 ii Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom 
 the prince of the enunchs had set over 
 Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
 
 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, 
 ten days ; and let them give us pulse to 
 eat, and water to drink. 
 
 13 Then let our countenances be looked 
 upon before thee, and the countenance of 
 the children that eat of the portion of 
 the king's meat : and as thou seest, deal 
 with thy servants. 
 
 14 So he consented to them in this 
 matter, and proved them ten days. 
 
 15 And at the end of ten days their 
 countenances appeared fairer and fatter 
 in flesh than all the children which did 
 eat the portion of the king's meat.

 of their meat, and the wine that they 
 should drink ; and gave them pulse.

 gave them knowledge and skill in all 
 learning and wisdom : and Daniel had 
 understanding in all visions and dreams. 
 
 18 Now at the end of the days that the 
 king had said he should bring them in, 
 then the prince of the eunuchs brought 
 them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

 and among them all was found none 
 like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and 
 Azariah: therefore, stood they before

 understanding, that the king enquired of

 writing was signed, he went into his 
 house; and his windows being open in 
 his chamber toward Jerusalem, he 
 kneeled upon his knees three times a 
 day, and prayed, and gave thanks be- 
 fore his God, as he did aforetime. 
 
 ii Then these men assembled, and

 decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, 
 that every man that shall ask a petition 
 of any God or man within thirty days, 
 save of thee, O king, shall be cast into 
 the den of lions? The king answered 
 and said, The thing is true, according 
 to the law of the Medes and Persians, 
 which altereth not.

 the king, That Daniel, which is of the 
 children of the captivity of Judah, re- 
 garded! not thee, O king, nor the decree 
 that thou hast signed, but maketh his 
 petition three times a day.

 words, was sore displeased with himself, 
 and set his heart on Daniel to deliver 
 him : and he laboured till the going down 
 of the sun to deliver him. 
 
 15 Then these men assembled unto the 
 king, and said unto the king, Know, O 
 king, that the law of the Medes and 
 Persians is, That no decree nor statute 
 which the king establisheth may be 
 changed. 
 
 16 Then the king commanded, and 
 they brought Daniel, and cast him into 
 the den of lions. Now the king spake 
 and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom 
 
 thou servest continually, he will deliver 
 thee. 
 
 17 And a stone was brought, and laid 
 upon the mouth of the den ; and the king 
 sealed it with his own signet, and with

 might not be changed concerning Daniel.

 kinsfolk and acquaintance.

 turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking 
 him.

 days they found him in the temple, sitting 
 in the midst of the doctors, both hear- 
 ing them, and asking them questions.

 astonished at his understanding and 
 answers.

 The Preaching of John the Baptist 
 St. Matthew III : 1-17 
 
 1 IN those days came John the Bap- 
 tist, preaching in the wilderness of 
 Judea, 
 
 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the 
 kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
 
 3 For this is he that was spoken of 
 by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice 
 of one crying in the wilderness, Pre- 
 pare ye the way of the Lord, make his 
 paths straight. 
 
 4 And the same John had his raiment 
 of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle 
 about his loins ; and his meat was lo- 
 custs and wild honey. 
 
 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, 
 and all Judea, and all the region round 
 about the Jordan. 
 
 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, 
 confessing their sins. 
 
 7 1f But when he saw many of the 
 Pharisees and Sadducees come to his 
 baptism, he said unto them, O genera- 
 tion of vipers, who hath warned you 
 to flee from the wrath to come? 
 
 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet 
 for repentance: 
 
 9 And think not to say within your- 
 selves, We have Abraham to our father : 
 for I say unto you, that God is able 
 of these stones to raise up children unto 
 Abraham. 
 
 10 And now also the axe is laid unto 
 
 the root of the trees: therefore every 
 tree which bringeth not forth good 
 fruit is hewn down, and cast into the 
 fire. 
 
 11 I indeed baptize you with water 
 unto repentance : but he that cometh 
 after me is mightier than I, whose shoes 
 I am not worthy to bear : he shall bap- 
 tize you with the Holy Ghost, and with 
 fire : 
 
 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and 
 he will thoroughly purge his floor, and 
 gather his wheat into the garner; but 
 he will burn up the chaff with un- 
 quenchable fire. 
 
 13 H Then cometh Jesus from Galilee 
 to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of 
 him. 
 
 14 But John forbad him, saying, I 
 have need to be baptized of thee, and 
 comest thou to me? 
 
 15 And Jesus answering said unto 
 him, Suffer it to be so now : for thus 
 it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. 
 Then he suffered him. 
 
 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, 
 went up straightway out of the water : 
 and, lo, the heavens were opened unto 
 him, and he saw the Spirit of God de- 
 scending like a dove, and lighting upon 
 him: 
 
 17 And lo a voice from heaven, say- 
 ing, This is my beloved Son, in whom 
 I am well pleased.

 enter the second time into his mother's 
 womb, and be born? 
 
 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say

 water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter 
 into the kingdom of God.

 we have seen; and ye receive not our

 Two Different Foundations 
 
 St. Matthew VII: 15-29 
 
 15 If BEWARE of false prophets, 
 which come to you in sheep's clothing, 
 but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 
 
 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. 
 Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs 
 of thistles? 
 
 17 Even so every good tree bringeth 
 forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree 
 bringeth forth evil fruit. 
 
 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil 
 fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring 
 forth good fruit. 
 
 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth 
 good fruit is hewn down, and cast into 
 the fire. 
 
 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall 
 know them. 
 
 21 If Not every one that saith unto me, 
 Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom 
 of heaven ; but he that doeth the will of 
 my Father which is in heaven. 
 
 22 Many will say to me in that day, 
 Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in 
 thy name? and in thy name have cast 
 out devils? and in thy name done many 
 wonderful works? 
 
 23 And then will I profess unto them, 
 I never knew you : depart from me, ye 
 that work iniquity. 
 
 24 If Therefore whosoever heareth 
 these sayings of mine, and doeth them, 
 I will liken him unto a wise man, which 
 built his house upon a rock : 
 
 25 And the rain descended, and the 
 floods came, and the winds blew, and 
 beat upon that house ; and it fell not : 
 for it was founded upon a rock. 
 
 26 And every one that heareth these 
 sayings of mine, and doeth them not, 
 shall be likened unto a foolish man, 
 which built his house upon the sand : 
 
 2J And the rain descended, and the 
 floods came, and the winds blew, and 
 beat upon that house ; and it fell : and 
 great was the fall of it. 
 
 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus 
 had ended these sayings, the people were 
 astonished at his doctrine :

 20 If THEN he began to upbraid the 
 cities wherein most of his mighty works 
 were done, because they repented not : 
 
 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin ! woe 
 unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if the mighty 
 works, which were done in you, had 
 been done in Tyre and Sidon, they 
 would have repented long ago in sack- 
 cloth and ashes.

 of heaven and earth, because thou hast 
 hid these things from the wise and 
 prudent, and hast revealed them unto 
 babes. 
 
 26 Even so, Father; for so it seemed 
 good in thy sight. 
 
 27 All things are delivered unto me 
 of my Father : and no man knoweth the 
 Son, but the Father ; neither knoweth any 
 man the Father, save the Son, and he 
 to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 
 
 28 II Come unto me, all ye that labour 
 and are heavy laden, and I will give 
 you rest.

 forth to sow;

 by the way side, and the fowls came and 
 devoured them up: 
 
 5* Some fell upon stony places, where 
 they had not much earth : and forthwith 
 they sprung up, because they had no 
 deepness of earth :

 scorched ; and because they had no root, 
 they withered away. 
 
 7 And some fell among thorns ; and 
 the thorns sprung up, and choked them :

 brought forth fruit, some a hundred- 
 fold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

 then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth 
 away that which was sown in his heart. 
 This is he which received seed by the 
 way side. 
 
 20 But he that received the seed into 
 stony places, the same is he that heareth 
 the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 
 
 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, 
 but dureth for a while : for when tribula- 
 tion or persecution ariseth because of 
 the word, by and by he is offended. 
 
 22 He also that received seed among 
 the thorns is he that heareth the word ; 
 and the care of this world, and the de- 
 ceitfulness of riches, choke the word, 
 and he becometh unfruitful. 
 
 23 But he that received seed into the 
 good ground is he that heareth the word,

 be abased ; and he that humbleth himself

 treasure in heaven : and come, follow me.

 1 THESE words spake Jesus, and 
 lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, 
 Father, the hour is come; glorify thy 
 Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee : 
 
 2 As thou hast given him power over 
 all flesh, that he should give eternal life 
 to as many as thou hast given him. 
 
 3 And this is life eternal, that they 
 might know thee the only true God, and 
 Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 
 
 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I 
 have finished the work which thou gavest 
 me to do. 
 
 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me 
 with thine own self with the glory which 
 I had with thee before the world was. 
 
 6 I have manifested thy name unto the 
 men which thou gavest me out of the 
 world : thine they were, and thou gavest 
 them me ; and they have kept thy word. 
 
 7 Now they have known that all things 
 whatsoever thou hast given me are of 
 thee. 
 
 8 For I have given unto them the 
 words which thou gavest me ; and they 
 have received them, and have known 
 surely that I came out from thee, and 
 they have believed that thou didst send 
 me. 
 
 9 I pray for them : I pray not for the 
 world, but for them which thou hast 
 given me ; for they are thine. 
 
 10 And all mine are thine, and thine 
 are mine; and I am glorified in them. 
 
 11 And now I am no more in the 
 world, but these are in the world, dnd I 
 come to thee. Holy Father, keep through 
 
 thine own name those whom thou hast 
 given me, that they may be one, as we 
 are. 
 
 12 While I was with them in the world, 
 I kept them in thy name : those that thou 
 gavest me I have kept, and none of them 
 is lost, but the son of perdition; that the 
 Scripture might be fulfilled. 
 
 13 And now come I to thee ; and these 
 things I speak in the world, that they 
 might have my joy fulfilled in them- 
 selves. 
 
 14 I have given them thy word ; and 
 the world hath hated them, because they 
 are not of the world, even as I am not 
 of the world. 
 
 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take 
 them out of the world, but that thou 
 shouldest keep them from the evil. 
 
 16 They are not of the world, even as 
 I am not of the world. 
 
 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: 
 thy word is truth.

 St. Paul's Shipwreck on the Way

 Acts XXVII : 33-44 
 
 33 AND while the day was coming 
 on, Paul besought them all to take meat, 
 saying, This day is the fourteenth day 
 that ye have tarried and continued fast- 
 ing, having taken nothing. 
 
 34 Wherefore I pray you to take some 
 meat ; for this is for your health : for 
 
 there shall not be a hair fall from the 
 head of any of you. 
 
 35 And when he had thus spoken, he 
 took bread, and gave thanks to God in 
 presence of them all; and when he had 
 broken it, he began to eat. 
 
 36 Then were they all of good cheer, 
 and they also took some meat. 
 
 37 And we were in all in the ship two 
 hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 
 
 38 And when they had eaten enough, 
 they lightened the ship, and cast out the 
 wheat into the sea. 
 
 39 And when it was day, they knew 
 not the land : but they discovered a cer- 
 tain creek with a shore, into the which 
 they were minded, if it were possible, to 
 thrust in the ship. 
 
 40 And when they had taken up the 
 anchors, they committed themselves unto 
 the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, 
 and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, 
 and made toward shore. 
 
 41 And falling into a place where two 
 seas met, they ran the ship aground ; and 
 the forepart stuck fast, and remained 
 unmoveable, but the hinder part was 
 broken with the violence of the waves. 
 
 42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill 
 the prisoners, lest any of them should 
 swim' out, and escape. 
 
 43 But the centurion, willing to save 
 Paul, kept them from their purpose; 
 and commanded that they which could 
 swim should cast themselves first into 
 the sea, and get to land : 
 
 44 And the rest, some on boards, and 
 some on broken pieces of the ship. And 
 so it came to pass, that they escaped all 
 safe to land.

 were spoken, and some believed not. 
 
 25 And when they agreed not among

 Paul had spoken one word, Well spake

 unto our fathers, 
 
 26 Saying, Go unto this people, and 
 say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not 
 understand; and seeing ye shall see, and

 Justification by Faith

 1 THEREFORE being justified by 
 faith, we have peace with God through 
 our Lord Jesus Christ : 
 
 2 By whom also we have access by 
 
 faith into this grace wherein we stand, 
 and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 
 
 3 And not only so, but we glory in 
 tribulations also; knowing that tribula- 
 tion worketh patience ; 
 
 4 And patience, experience; and ex- 
 perience, hope : 
 
 5 And hope maketh not ashamed ; be- 
 cause the love of God is shed abroad in 
 our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is 
 given unto us. 
 
 6 For when we were yet without 
 strength, in due time Christ died for the 
 ungodly. 
 
 7 For scarcely for a righteous man 
 will one die : yet peradventure for a good 
 man some would even dare to die. 
 
 8 But God commendeth his love 
 toward us, in that while we were yet 
 sinners, Christ died for us. 
 
 9 Much more then, being now justified 
 by his blood, we shall be saved from 
 wrath through him. 
 
 10 For if, when we were enemies, we 
 were reconciled to God by the death of 
 his Son ; much more, being reconciled,

 which doeth those things shall live by 
 them. 
 
 6 But the righteousness which is of 
 faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in 
 thine heart, Who shall ascend into 
 heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down 
 from above:) 
 
 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep ? 
 (that is, to bring up Christ again from 
 the dead.)

 nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy 
 heart: that is, the word of faith, which 
 we preach; 
 
 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy 
 mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe 
 in thine heart that God hath raised him 
 from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 "Overcome Evil"

 1 I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, 
 by the mercies of God, that ye present 
 your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ac- 
 ceptable unto God, which is your rea- 
 sonable service. 
 
 2 And be not conformed to this world : 
 but be ye transformed by the renewing 
 of your mind, that ye may prove what 
 is that good, and acceptable, and perfect 
 will of God. 
 
 3 For I say, through the grace given 
 unto me, to every man that is among you, 
 not to think of himself more highly than 
 he ought to think; but to think soberly, 
 according as God hath dealt to every 
 man the measure of faith. 
 
 4 For as we have many members in 
 one body, and all members have not the 
 same offce: 
 
 5 So we, being many, are one body in 
 Christ, and every one members one of 
 another. 
 
 6 Having then gifts differing according 
 to the grace that is given to us, whether 
 prophecy, let us prophesy according to 
 the proportion of faith; 
 
 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our min- 
 istering; or he that teacheth, on teach- 
 ing; 
 
 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhorta- 
 tion : he that giveth, let him do it with 
 simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; 
 he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 
 
 9 Let love be without dissimulation. 
 Abhor that which is evil ; cleave to that 
 which is good. 
 
 10 Be kindly affectioned one to an- 
 other with brotherly love ; in honour 
 preferring one another;

 14 Bless them which persecute you : 
 bless, and curse not. 
 
 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice,

 Civil Duties 
 Romans XIII: 1-14 
 
 1 LET every soul be subject unto the 
 higher powers. For there is no power 
 but of God: the powers that be are or- 
 dained of God. 
 
 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the 
 power, resisteth the ordinance of God : 
 and they that resist shall receive to them- 
 selves damnation. 
 
 3 For rulers are not a terror to good 
 works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then 
 not be afraid of the power? do that 
 which is good, and thou shalt have praise 
 of the same: 
 
 4 For he is the minister of God to thee 
 for good. But if thou do that which is 
 evil, be afraid ; for he beareth not the 
 sword in vain : for he is the minister of 
 God, a revenger to execute wrath upon 
 him that doeth evil. 
 
 5 Wherefore ye must needs be sub- 
 ject, not only for wrath, but also for 
 conscience' sake. 
 
 6 For, for this cause pay ye tribute 
 also : for they are God's ministers, at- 
 tending continually upon this very thing. 
 
 7 Render therefore to all their dues : 
 tribute to whom tribute is due; custom 
 to whom custom ; fear to whom fear ; 
 honour to whom honour. 
 
 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love 
 one another : for he that loveth another 
 hath fulfilled the law. 
 
 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit 
 adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt 
 not steal, Thou shalt not bear false wit- 
 ness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there 
 
 be any other commandment, it is briefly 
 comprehended in this saying, namely, 
 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
 
 10 Love worketh no ill to his neigh- 
 bour : therefore love is the fulfilling of 
 the law.

 now it is high time to awake out of 
 sleep : for now is our salvation nearer

 St. Paul's Exhortation to Timothy 
 I Tim. II: 1-15 
 
 1 THOU therefore, my son, be strong 
 in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 2 And the things that thou hast heard 
 of me among many witnesses, the same 
 commit thou to faithful men, who shall 
 be able to teach others also. 
 
 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as 
 a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 No man that warreth entangleth 
 himself with the affairs of this life; that 
 he may please him who hath chosen him 
 to be a soldier. 
 
 5 And if a man also strive for mas- 
 teries, yet is he not crowned, except 
 he strive lawfully. 
 
 6 The husbandman that laboureth 
 must be first partaker of the fruits. 
 
 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord 
 give thee understanding in all things. 
 
 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the 
 seed of David was raised from the dead, 
 according to my gospel : 
 
 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil 
 doer, even unto bonds; but the word of 
 God is not bound. 
 
 10 Therefore I endure all things for 
 the elect's sake, that they may also obtain 
 the salvation which is in Christ Jesus 
 with eternal glory. 
 
 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be 
 dead with him, we shall also live with 
 him : 
 
 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign 
 with him: if we deny him, he also will 
 deny us : 
 
 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth 
 faithful : he cannot deny himself. 
 
 14 Of these things put them in remem- 
 brance, charging them before the Lord 
 that they strive not about words to no 
 profit, but to the subverting of the 
 hearers. 
 
 15 Study to shew thyself approved 
 unto God, a workman that needeth not 
 to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word 
 of truth.

 divers manners spake in time past unto 
 the fathers by the prophets, 
 
 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto 
 us by his Son, whom he hath appointed 
 heir of all things, by whom also he made 
 the worlds ; 
 
 3 Who being the brightness of his 
 glory, and the express image of his 
 person, and upholding all things by the 
 word of his power, when he had by him- 
 self purged our sins, sat down on the 
 right hand of the Majesty on high; 
 
 4 Being macje so much better than the

 angels, as he hath by inheritance ob- 
 tained a more excellent name than they. 
 
 5 For unto which of the angels said he 
 at any time, Thou art my Son, this day 
 have I begotten thee? And again, I will 
 be to him a Father, and he shall be to 
 me a Son? 
 
 6 And again, when he bringeth in the 
 first-begotten into the world, he saith, 
 And let all the angels of God worship 
 him. 
 
 7 And of the angels he saith, Who 
 maketh his angels spirits, and his minis- 
 ters a flame of fire. 
 
 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy 
 throne, O God, is for ever and ever : a 
 sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of 
 thy kingdom. 
 
 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and 
 hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy 
 God, hath anointed thee with the oil of 
 gladness above thy fellows. 
 
 10 And Thou, Lord, in the beginning 
 hast laid the foundation of the earth ; 
 and the heavens are the works of thine 
 hands. 
 
 11 They shall perish, but thou remain- 
 est : and they all shall wax old as doth 
 a garment ; 
 
 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold 
 them up, and they shall be changed : 
 but thou art the same, and thy years 
 shall not fail. 
 
 13 But to which of the angels said he 
 at any time, Sit on my right hand, until 
 I make thine enemies thy footstool ?

 sent forth to minister for them who shall

 5 By faith Enoch was translated that 
 he should not see death ; and was not 
 found, because God had translated him : 
 for before his translation he had this

 please him: for he that cometh to God 
 must believe that he is, and that he is a 
 rewarder of them that diligently seek 
 him. 
 
 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God 
 of things not seen as yet, moved with 
 fear, prepared an ark to the saving of 
 his house; by the which he condemned 
 the world, and became heir of the right-

 8 By faith Abraham, when he was 
 called to go out into a place which he

 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him 
 ask of God, that giveth to all men liber-

 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing 
 wavering : for he that wavereth is like a 
 wave of the sea driven with the wind

 7 For let not that man think that he 
 shall receive any thing of the Lord. 
 
 8 A doubleminded man is unstable in

 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice 
 in that he is exalted : 
 
 10 But the rich, in that he is made

 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with 
 a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, 
 and the flower thereof falleth, and the 
 grace of the fashion of it perisheth : so 
 also shall the rich man fade away in his 
 ways. 
 
 12 Blessed is the man that endureth 
 temptation : for when he is tried he shall 
 receive the crown of life, which the Lord 
 hath promised to them that love him. 
 
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, 
 I am tempted of God : for God cannot be 
 tempted with evil, neither tempteth he 
 any man : 
 
 14 But every man is tempted, when he 
 is drawn away of his own lust, and en- 
 ticed.

 thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 
 under the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them : for I 
 the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 
 children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me ; and showing 
 mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments. 
 
 III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain ; for the Lord 
 will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain. 
 
 IV. Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and 
 do all thy work : but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God ; in it 
 thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, 
 nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ; for in 
 six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and 
 rested the seventh day : wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day and hallowed it. 
 
 V. Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy days may be long upon the land 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 
 VI. Thou shalt not kill. 
 VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 
 VIII. Thou shalt not steal. 
 IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 
 X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neigh- 
 bor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor 
 any thing that is thy neighbor's. 
 
 HEAR also the words of our Lord Jesus, how He saith : Thou shalt love the 
 Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This 
 is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it : Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and 
 the prophets.

 I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth : 
 And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord ; who was conceived by the Holy 
 Ghost ; born of the Virgin Mary ; suffered under Pontius Pilate ; was crucified, 
 dead, and buried ; He descended into hell ; * the third day Pie rose again from the 
 dead ; He ascended into heaven ; and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father 
 Almighty ; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 
 
 I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy Catholic Church ; the Communion of 
 Saints ; the Forgiveness of sins ; the Resurrection of the body ; and the Life ever- 
 lasting. Amen. 
 
 * i. e. Continued in the state of the dead and under the power of death until the third day.

 From Thy living Bread, O Lord !

 Lest like sheep we stray abroad, 
 Stay our wayward feet, O Lord ! 
 
 Quickened by the Spirit's grace 
 All Thy holy will to trace, 
 While we daily search Thy word, 
 Wisdom true impart, O Lord !

 When we seek our beds at night,

 1 LORD, in the morning Thou shalt hear 
 
 My voice ascending high ; 
 To Thee will I direct my prayer, 
 To Thee lift up mine eye : 
 
 2 Up to the hills, where Christ is gone 
 
 To plead for all His saints, 
 Presenting at His Father's throne 
 Our songs and our complaints. 
 
 3 Thou art a God before whose sight 
 
 The wicked shall not stand ; 
 
 Sinners shall ne'er be Thy delight, 
 Nor dwell at Thy right hand. 
 
 4 But to Thy house will I resort, 
 
 To taste Thy mercies there ; 
 I will frequent Thy holy court, 
 And worship in Thy fear. 
 
 5 O may Thy Spirit guide my feet 
 
 In ways of righteousness ; 
 Make every path of duty straight 
 And plain before my face.

 Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Sleep that may me more vigorous make 
 Beneath Thy own almighty wings. To serve my God when I awake.

 The ill that I this day have done ; My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; 
 That with the world, myself, and Thee, Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, 
 
 I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. No powers of darkness me molest.

 For ever chase dark sleep away, 
 And hymns with the supernal choir

 2 On Thee our whole reliance 
 
 From day to day we cast, 
 To Thee, with firm affiance, 
 
 Would cleave from first to last ; 
 To Thee, through Jesus' merit, 
 
 For needful grace we come, 
 And trust that Thy good Spirit 
 
 Will guide us safely home. 
 
 3 What may be on the morrow 
 
 Our foresight cannot see ; 
 But be it joy or sorrow, 
 
 We know it comes from Thee. 
 And nothing can take from us, 
 
 Where'er our steps may move, 
 The staff of Thy sure promise, 
 
 The shield of Thy true love.

 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us ; 
 Till morning cometh, watch, O Master, o'er us ; 
 In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, 
 Thine angels send us. 
 
 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us ; 
 Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us ; 
 All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing 
 Thy praise pursuing. 
 
 As Thy beloved, soothe the sick and weeping, 
 And bid the prisoner lose his griefs in sleeping ; 
 Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them, 
 Do Thou befriend them. 
 
 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, 
 Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us ; 
 But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely, 
 Who seek Thee only.

 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns 4 This heavenly calm within the breast 
 So sweet a rest to wearied minds, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest 
 Provides an antepast of heaven, Which for the Church of God remains, 
 And gives this day the food of seven. The end of cares, the end of pains. 
 
 3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, 5 In holy duties let the day, 
 As grateful incense, to the skies ; In holy pleasures, pass away : 
 
 And draw from heaven that sweet repose How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, 
 Which none but he that feels it knows. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

 2 For Thou, within no walls confined, 4 Here may we prove the power of prayer 
 Inhabitest the humble mind ; To strengthen faith, and sweeten care, 
 Such ever bring Thee where they come, To teach our faint desires to rise, 
 And going, take Thee to their home. And bring all heaven before our eyes. 
 
 3 Dear Shepherd of Thy chosen few, 5 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; 
 Thy former mercies here renew; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear: 
 Here to our waiting hearts proclaim O rend the heavens,come quickly down,

 Anon. 1773 (ascribed to Rev. John Fawcett) : 
 verse i, 1. 6, alt. ; verse 3, recast by Rev. G. Thring 
 
 i STILL with Thee, O my God, 3 With Thee amid the crowd 
 
 I would desire to be, That throngs the busy mart, 
 
 By day, by night; at home, abroad, To hear Thy voice, where time's is loud. 
 I would be still with Thee. Speak softly to my heart. 
 
 2 With Thee when dawn comes in 
 And calls me back to care, 
 Each day returning to begin 
 With Thee, my God, in prayer. 
 
 4 With Thee when day is done, 
 And evening calms the mind ; 
 The setting as the rising sun 
 With Thee my heart would find. 
 
 5 With Thee, in Thee, by faith 
 Abiding, I would be ; 
 By day, by night, in life, in death, 
 I would be still with Thee.

 GOD moves in a mysterious way 
 
 His wonders to perform ; 
 He plants His footsteps in the sea, 
 
 And rides upon the storm. 
 
 Deep in unfathomable mines 
 
 Of never-failing skill 
 He treasures up His bright designs, 
 
 And works His sovereign will. 
 
 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ; 
 The clouds ye so much dread 
 
 Are big with mercy, and shall break 
 In blessings on your head. 
 
 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 
 But trust Him for His grace ; 
 
 Behind a frowning providence 
 He hides a smiling face. 
 
 Blind unbelief is sure to err, 
 And scan His work in vain ; 
 
 God is His own Interpreter, 
 And He will make it plain.

 2 The unwearied sun, from day to day, 
 Does his Creator's power display, 
 And publishes to every land 
 
 The work of an almighty hand. 
 
 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, 
 The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 
 And nightly to the listening earth 
 Repeats the story of her birth ; 
 
 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, 
 And all the planets in their turn, 
 
 38 
 
 Confirm the tidings as they roll, 
 And spread the truth from pole to pole. 
 
 5 What though in solemn silence all 
 Move round the dark terrestrial ball? 
 What though nor real voice nor sound 
 Amid their radiant orbs be found ? 
 
 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, 
 And utter forth a glorious voice ; 
 For ever singing, as they shine, 
 " The hand that made us is Divine."

 1 HIGH in the heavens, Eternal God, 
 Thy goodness in full glory shines ; 
 Thy truth shall break through every cloud 
 That veils and darkens Thy designs. 
 
 2 For ever firm Thy justice stands, 
 As mountains their foundations keep ; 
 Wise are the wonders of Thy hands ; 
 Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 
 
 3 Thy providence is kind and large, 
 Both man and beast Thy bounty share ; 
 
 The whole creation is Thy charge, 
 But saints are Thy peculiar care. 
 
 4 From the provisions of Thy house 
 We shall be fed with sweet repast ; 
 There mercy like a river flows, 
 And brings salvation to our taste. 
 
 5 Life, like a fountain, rich and free, 
 Springs from the presence of my Lord? 
 And in Thy light our souls shall see 
 The glories promised in Thy word.

 Revived my soul with grace.

 O make but trial of His love ; 
 
 Experience will decide, 
 How blest are they, and only they, 
 
 Who in His truth confide. 
 
 Fear Him, ye saints; and you will then 
 Have nothing else to fear : 
 
 Make you His service your delight, 
 He'll make your wants His care.

 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts 
 
 My daily thanks employ ; 
 Nor is the least a cheerful heart

 5 Through every period of my life 
 
 Thy goodness I'll pursue ; 
 And after death, in distant worlds, 
 The glorious theme renew. 
 
 6 Through all eternity to Thee 
 
 A joyful song I'll raise ; 
 
 For O, eternity's too short 
 
 To utter all Thy praise.

 Are to my God distinctly known ; 
 He knows the words I mean to speak, 
 Ere from my opening lips they break.

 On every side I find Thy hand :

 Whose light is truth, whose warmth is 
 
 love, 
 Before Thy ever-blazing throne 
 We ask no lustre of our own.

 And kindling hearts that burn for Thee; 
 Till all Thy living altars claim 
 
 One holy light, one heavenly flame. 
 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1848 
 
 Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, 
 I am surrounded still with God. 
 
 4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great ! 
 What large extent, what lofty height ! 
 My soul, with all the powers I boast, 
 Is in the boundless prospect lost. 
 
 5 O may these thoughts possess my 
 
 breast, 
 Where'er I rove, where'er I rest : 
 Nor let my weaker passions dare 
 Consent to sin, for God is there.

 2 Our years are like the shadows 
 
 On sunny hills that lie, 
 Or grasses in the meadows 
 
 That blossom but to die ; 
 A sleep, a dream, a story 
 
 By strangers quickly told, 
 An unremaining glory 
 
 Of things that soon are old. 
 
 3 O Thou, who canst not slumber, 
 
 Whose light grows never pale, 
 Teach us aright to number 
 
 Our years before they fail ; 
 On us Thy mercy lighten, 
 
 On us Thy goodness rest, 
 And let Thy Spirit brighten 
 
 The hearts Thyself hast blessed.

 i MY soul, repeat His praise 
 Whose mercies are so great, 
 
 Whose anger is so slow to rise, 
 So ready to abate. 
 
 2 High as the heavens are raised 
 Above the ground we tread, 
 
 So far the riches of His grace 
 Our highest thoughts exceed. 
 
 3 His power subdues our sins, 
 And His forgiving love, 
 
 Far as the east is from the west, 
 Doth all our guilt remove. 
 
 4 The hill of Zion yields 
 
 A thousand sacred sweets, 
 Before we reach the heavenly fields, 
 Or walk the golden streets. 
 
 5 Then let our songs abound, 
 And every tear be dry ; 
 
 We're marching through Emmanuel's 
 ground 
 To fairer worlds on high. 
 
 Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707: verse 2, I.3, alt. 
 
 4 The pity of the Lord 
 
 To those that fear His Name 
 Is such as tender parents feel ; 
 He knows our feeble frame, 
 
 5 Our days are as the grass, 
 Or like the morning flower ; 
 
 If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, 
 It withers in an hour. 
 
 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, 
 To endless years endure ; 
 
 And children's children ever find 
 Thy words of promise sure.

 My dear Redeemer's praise, 
 The glories of my God and King, 
 The triumphs of His grace.

 Assist me to proclaim, 
 To spread through all the earth abroad, 
 The honors of Thy Name. 
 
 That bids our sorrows cease ; 
 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 
 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 
 
 4 He breaks the power of reigning sin, 
 He sets the prisoner free ; 
 His blood can make the foulest clean, 
 His blood availed for me.

 New life the dead receive ; 
 The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; 
 The humble poor believe.

 And still He is nigh — His presence we have : 
 The great congregation His triumph shall sing, 
 Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 
 
 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne ! 
 Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son : 
 The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, 
 Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.

 Of Moses and the Lamb ;

 To praise the Saviour's Name.

 Saviour, hasten Thine appearing ; 
 
 Bring, O bring the glorious day, 
 When, the awful summons hearing, 
 
 Heaven and earth shall pass away : 
 Then, with golden harps, we'll sing, 
 " Glory, glory to our King ! " — ref. 
 
 Rev. Thomas Kelly, 1806 
 
 3 Sing on your heavenly way, 
 Ye ransomed sinners, sing ; 
 Sing on, rejoicing every day 
 In Christ the Eternal King. 
 
 2 Sing of His dying love ; 4 Soon shall ye hear Him say, 
 
 Sing of His rising power; "Ye blessed children, come; " 
 
 Sing how He intercedes above Soon will He call you hence away, 
 
 For those whose sins He bore. And take His wanderers home.

 For this we tune our cheerful lays, 
 And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

 O morning stars, together 
 
 Proclaim the holy birth ; 
 And praises sing to God the King, 
 
 And peace to men on earth. 
 
 3 How silently, how silently, 
 
 The wondrous gift is given ! 
 
 So God imparts to human hearts 
 
 The blessings of His heaven. 
 
 No ear may hear His coming, 
 
 But in this world of sin, 
 Where meek souls will receive Him still, 
 
 The dear Christ enters in.

 Descend to us, we pray ; 
 Cast out our sin, and enter in,

 Which they chant in hymns of joy : Heaven and earth His glory sing : 
 
 " Glory in the highest, glory ; Glad receive whom God appointed 
 
 Glory be to God Most High ! For your Prophet, Priest, and King. 
 
 3 "Peace on earth, good- will from heaven, 5 " Hasten, mortals, to adore Him; 
 
 Reaching far as man is found ; Learn His Name, and taste His joy ; 
 
 Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven ; Till in heaven you sing before Him, 
 
 Loud our golden harps shall sound. Glory be to God Most High !"

 AS with gladness men of old 
 Did the guiding star behold ; 
 As with joy they hailed its light, 
 Leading onward, beaming bright ; 
 So, most gracious God, may we 
 Evermore be led to Thee. 
 
 As with joyful steps they sped 
 To that lowly manger-bed, 
 There to bend the knee before 
 Him whom heaven and earth adore 
 So may we with willing feet 
 Ever seek Thy mercy-seat.

 As they offered gifts most rare 
 At that manger rude and bare ; 
 So may we with holy joy, 
 Pure, and free from sin's alloy, 
 All our costliest treasures bring, 
 Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 
 
 Holy Jesus, every day 
 Keep us in the narrow way ; 
 And, when earthly things are past, 
 Bring our ransomed souls at last 
 Where they need no star to guide, 
 Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

 2 For ever on Thy burdened heart 
 A weight of sorrow hung ; 
 Yet no ungentle, murmuring word 
 Escaped Thy silent tongue. 
 
 4 O give us hearts to love like Thee 
 Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve 
 Far more for others' sins than all 
 The wrongs that we receive. 
 
 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, 5 One with Thyself, may every eye 
 
 Thy friends unfaithful prove ; In us, Thy brethren, see 
 
 Unwearied in forgiveness still, That gentleness and grace that spring 
 
 Thy heart could only love. From union, Lord, with Thee.

 LORD, Thou in all things like wast 
 made 
 
 To us, yet free from sin ; 
 Then how unlike to us, O Lord, 
 
 Replies the voice within. 
 
 Our faith is weak ; O Light of Light, 
 Clear Thou our clouded view ; 
 
 That Son of Man, and Son of God, 
 We give Thee honor due. 
 
 O Son of Man, Thyself hast proved 
 
 Our trials and our tears ; 
 Life's thankless toil and scant repose, 
 
 Death's agonies and fears. 
 
 O Son of God, in glory raised, 
 Thou sittest on Thy throne : 
 
 Thence, by Thy pleadings and Thy 
 grace, 
 Still succoring Thine own. 
 
 5 Brother and Saviour, Friend and Judge ! 
 To Thee, O Christ, be given 
 To bind upon Thy crown the names 
 Most blest in earth and heaven.

 1 O MEAN may seem this house of clay, 4 But not this fleshly robe alone 
 
 Yet 'twas the Lord's abode ; Shall link us, Lord, to Thee ; 
 
 Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Not only in the tear and groan 
 
 Yet here Emmanuel trod. Shall the dear kindred be. 
 
 2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear, 
 
 This watch the Lord did keep, 
 
 These burdens sore the Lord did bear, 
 
 These tears the Lord did weep. 
 
 3 Our very frailty brings us near 
 
 Unto the Lord of heaven ; 
 To every grief, to every tear, 
 Such glory strange is given. 
 
 5 We shall be reckoned for Thine own 
 
 Because Thy heaven we share, 
 Because we sing around Thy throne, 
 And Thy bright raiment wear. 
 
 6 O mighty grace, our life to live, 
 
 To make our earth Divine : 
 O mighty grace, Thy heaven to give, 
 And lift our life to Thine.

 In lowly paths of service free ; 
 
 Tell me Thy secret ; help me bear 
 The strain of toil, the fret of care.

 By some clear winning word of love; 
 Teach me the wayward feet to stay,

 In closer, dearer company, 
 
 In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, 
 In trust that triumphs over wrong ;

 Far down the future's broadening way; 
 In peace that only Thou canst give,

 2 Upon that cross of Jesus 
 
 Mine eye at times can see 
 The very dying form of One 
 
 Who suffered there for me : 
 And from my smitten heart with tears 
 
 Two wonders I confess, — 
 The wonders of His glorious love 
 
 And my own worthlessness. 
 
 I take, O cross, thy shadow 
 
 For my abiding-place : 
 I ask no other sunshine than 
 
 The sunshine of His face ; 
 Content to let the world go by, 
 
 To know no gain nor loss, 
 My sinful self my only shame, 
 
 My glory all the cross.

 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face 
 
 While His dear cross appears; 
 Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 
 And melt my eyes to tears. 
 
 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 
 
 The debt of love I owe \ 
 Here, Lord, I give myself away, 
 'Tis all that I can do. 
 
 Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707: verse 3, 1. 3, alt. 
 
 Was it for crimes that I had done 
 He groaned upon the tree ! 
 
 Amazing pity ! Grace unknown! 
 And love beyond degree ! 
 
 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 
 
 And shut his glories in, 
 When He, the mighty Maker, died 
 
 For man the creature's sin.

 Christ hath broken every chain : 
 Hark, angelic voices cry, 
 Singing evermore on high, Alleluia !

 Who for us endured the strife, 
 Is our Paschal Lamb to-day ; 
 We too sing for joy, and say, Alleluia !

 Comfortless upon the Cross, 
 Lives in glory now on high, 
 Pleads for us and hears our cry ; Alle-

 Rev. Michael Weisse, 1531. 
 
 4 He who slumbered in the grave, 
 Is exalted now to save ; 
 Now through Christendom it rings 
 That the Lamb is King of kings. Alle

 5 Now he bids us tell abroad 
 How the lost may be restored, 
 How the penitent forgiven, [luia ! 
 How we too may enter heaven. Alle-

 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal ; 
 Christ has burst the gates of hell : 
 Death in vain forbids His rise ;

 Where, death, is now thy sting ? 
 Once He died, our souls to save : 
 Where thy victory, O grave ?

 4 Soar we now where Christ has led, 
 Following our exalted Head : 
 Made like Him, like Him we rise ; 
 Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

 Praise to Thee by both be given : 
 Thee we greet triumphant now : 
 Hail, the Resurrection Thou !

 2 And what I say, let each this morn 4 The fears of death and of the grave 
 
 Go tell it to his friend, Are whelmed beneath the sea, 
 
 That soon in every place shall dawn And every heart, now light and brave, 
 His kingdom without end. May face the things to be. 
 
 3 Now first to souls who thus awake 5 The way of darkness that He trod 
 
 Seems earth a fatherland ; To heaven at last shall come, 
 
 A new and endless life they take And he who hearkens to His word 
 
 With rapture from His hand. Shall reach His father's home.

 2 In vain with stone the cave they barred ; 
 In vain the watch kept ward and guard : 
 Majestic from the spoiled tomb, 
 
 In pomp of triumph Christ is come. 
 
 3 He binds in chains the ancient foe ; 
 A countless host He frees from woe, 
 And heaven's high portal open flies, 
 For Christ has risen, and man shall rise. 
 
 4 And all He did, and all He bare, 
 He gives us as our own to share ; 
 
 And hope and joy and peace begin, 
 For Christ has won, and man shall win. 
 
 5 O Victor, aid us in the fight, [light : 
 And lead through death to realms of

 Glad alleluias raise to Thee ; 
 
 And ever with the heavenly host 
 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

 1 BEYOND the starry skies, 
 Far as the eternal hills, 
 
 There, in the boundless world of light, 
 Our great Redeemer dwells. 
 
 2 Around Him angels fair, 
 In countless armies, shine ; 
 
 And ever, in exalted lays, 
 They offer songs Divine. 
 
 3 "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry, 
 " Whose unexampled love 
 
 Moved Thee to quit these glorious realms 
 And royalties above." 
 
 Cento, based on Rev 
 
 4 And when He stooped to earth, 
 And suffered rude disdain, 
 
 They cast their honors at His feet, 
 And waited in His train. 
 
 5 They saw Him on the cross, 
 While darkness veiled the skies, 
 
 And when He burst the gates of death, 
 They saw the Conqueror rise. 
 
 6 They thronged His chariot-wheels, 
 And bore Him to His throne ; 
 
 Then swept their golden harps, and sang, 
 "The glorious work is done."

 With one awakening smile, [power,

 Of grace and peace Divine :

 When our days of toil shall cease, 
 Waiting still for sweet release, 
 Nothing left but heaven and prayer, 
 Wondering if our names are there, 
 Wading deep the dismal flood, 
 Pleading naught but Jesus' blood, — 
 Whisper softly, "Wanderer, come ! 
 Follow Me, I'll guide thee home." 
 
 Marcus M. Wells, 1858 
 
 And learn the height, and breadth, and

 Of Thine unmeasurable grace.

 2 Ever present, truest Friend, 
 Ever near Thine aid to lend, 
 Leave us not to doubt and fear, 
 Groping on in darkness drear : 
 When the storms are raging sore, 
 Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er, 
 Whisper softly, " Wanderer, come ! 
 Follow Me, I'll gui4e thee home."

 No sudden rending of the veil of clay ; 
 No angel-visitant, no opening skies ; 
 But take the dimness of my soul away. 
 
 3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? 
 All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind; 
 I see Thy cross — there teach my heart to cling: 
 
 O let me seek Thee, and O let me find. 
 
 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh ; 
 Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, 
 To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh ; 
 Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 
 
 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, 
 One holy passion filling all my frame; 
 
 The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, 
 My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

 He came in semblance of a dove, 
 
 With sheltering wings outspread, 
 The holy balm of peace and love 
 On earth to shed. 
 
 4 And His that gentle voice we hear, 
 
 Soft as the breath of even, 
 That checks each thought, that calms 
 And speaks of heaven, [each fear, 
 
 5 And every virtue we possess, 
 And every victory won, 
 
 And every thought of holiness, 
 Are His alone. 
 
 He came sweet influence to impart, 
 
 A gracious, willing Guest, 
 While He can find one humble heart 
 Wherein to rest.

 1 GRACIOUS Spirit, Holy Ghost, 
 Taught by Thee, we covet most, 
 Of Thy gifts at Pentecost, 
 
 Holy, heavenly love. 
 
 2 Faith, that mountains could remove, 
 Tongues of earth or heaven above, 
 Knowledge, all things, empty prove, 
 
 Without heavenly love. 
 
 3 Love is kind, and suffers long ; 
 Love is meek, and thinks no wrong ; 
 Love than death itself more strong ; 
 
 Therefore, give us love. 
 
 4 Faith will vanish into sight ; 
 Hope be emptied in delight ; 
 
 Love in heaven will shine more bright; 
 Therefore, give us love. 
 
 5 Faith and hope and love we see, 
 Joining hand in hand, agree ; 
 But the greatest of the three, 
 
 And the best, is love. 
 
 6 From the overshadowing 
 
 Of Thy gold and silver wing, 
 Shed on us who to Thee sing 
 Holy, heavenly love.

 1 THE Spirit breathes upon the word, 
 
 And brings the truth to sight; 
 Precepts and promises afford 
 A sanctifying light. 
 
 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, 
 
 Majestic, like the sun : 
 It gives a light to every age ; 
 It gives, but borrows none. 
 
 3 The Hand that gave it still supplies 
 
 The gracious light and heat : 
 
 Then shall all bondage cease, 
 
 All fetters fall ; 
 And I shall find my peace, 
 
 My All in all. 
 
 Mary Ann Lathbury, 1877 
 
 His truths upon the nations rise ; 
 They rise, but never set. 
 
 4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine 
 
 For such a bright display 
 As makes a world of darkness shine 
 With beams of heavenly day.

 The steps of Him I love, 
 
 Till glory break upon my view 
 
 In brighter worlds above.

 Though with a scornful wonder 
 
 Men see her sore oppressed, 
 By schisms rent asunder, 
 
 By heresies distressed, 
 Yet saints their watch are keeping, 
 
 Their cry goes up, " How long ?' 
 And soon the night of weeping 
 
 Shall be the morn of song. 
 
 'Mid toil and tribulation, 
 
 And tumult of her war, 
 She waits the consummation 
 
 Of peace for evermore ; 
 Till with the vision glorious 
 
 Her longing eyes are blest, 
 And the great Church victorious 
 
 Shall be the Church at rest.

 2 See, the streams of living waters, 
 Springing from eternal Love, 
 Well supply thy sons and daughters, 
 
 And all fear of want remove : 
 Who can faint, while such a river 
 
 Ever flows their thirst to assuage ; 
 Grace, which, like the Lord the 
 Giver, 
 Never fails from age to age ? 
 
 3 Round each habitation hovering, 
 See the cloud and fire appear 
 For a glory and a covering, 
 
 Showing that the Lord is near •. 
 Thus deriving from their banner 
 
 Light by night, and shade by day, 
 Safe they feed upon the manna 
 
 Which He gives them when they

 The paths of peace have trod ; 
 Whose secret heart, with influence

 Is upward drawn to God.

 The lily must decay ; 
 The rose that blooms beneath the hill

 Will shake the soul with sorrow's power 
 And stormy passion's rage.

 Within Thy Father's shrine, 
 Whose years, with changeless virtue

 In childhood, manhood, age, and death,

 While the lambs Thy bosom share; Keep them through life's dangerous 
 
 2 Now, these little ones receiving, 
 Fold them in Thy gracious arm ; 
 There, we know, Thy word believing, 
 Only there secure from harm.

 Let them find a resting-place, 
 Feed in pastures ever vernal, 
 Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

 This will I do, my dying Lord, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice, 
 
 I will remember Thee. I must remember Thee ; 
 
 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, 
 
 My bread from heaven shall be ; 
 Thy testamental cup I take, 
 And thus remember Thee. 
 
 3 Gethsemane can I forget ? 
 
 Or there Thy conflict see, 
 
 Thine agony and bloody sweat, 
 
 And not remember Thee ? 
 
 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, 
 
 And all Thy love to me : 
 Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, 
 Will I remember Thee. 
 
 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, 
 
 And mind and memory flee, 
 When Thou shalt inThy kingdom come. 
 Jesus, remember me.

 But take, to arm you for the fight, Tread all the powers of darkness down,

 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, 
 Rise o'er sin and fear and care; 
 Joy to find in every station 
 
 Something still to do or bear ; 
 Think what Spirit dwells within thee, 
 
 What a Father's smile is thine, 
 What a Saviour died to win thee : 
 Child of heaven, shouldst thou re- 
 pine? 
 
 Rev. Henry F. Lyte, 1824 (Text of 1833) 
 
 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 
 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; 
 Life with trials hard may press me, 
 Heaven will bring me sweeter 
 rest: 
 O 'tis not in grief to harm me 
 
 While Thy love is left to me; 
 O 'twere not in joy to charm me, 
 Were that joy unmixed with Thee.

 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, 
 
 And the heathen lands explore, 
 You can find the heathen nearer, 
 
 You can help them at your door. 
 If you cannot give your thousands, 
 
 You can give the widow's mite ; 
 Aud the least you give for Jesus 
 
 Will be precious in His sight. 
 
 % If you cannot speak like angels, 
 If you cannot preach like Paul, 
 You can tell the love of Jesus, 
 You can say He died for all. 
 
 If you cannot rouse the wicked 
 With the judgment's dread alarms, 
 
 You can lead the little children 
 To the Saviour's waiting arms. 
 
 Let none hear you idly saying, 
 
 " There is nothing I can do," 
 While the souls of men are dying, 
 
 And the Master calls for you : 
 Take the task He gives you gladly, 
 
 Let His work your pleasure be ; 
 Answer quickly when He calleth, 
 
 " Here am I ; send me, send me."

 2 O Christian brothers, glorious 
 
 Shall be the conflict's close ; 
 The cross hath been victorious, 
 
 And shall be o'er its foes : 
 Faith is our battle-token ; 
 
 Our Leader all controls ; 
 Our trophies, fetters broken ; 
 
 Our captives, ransomed souls. 
 
 3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus, 
 
 To Thee all praise be due, 
 Whose blood-bought mercy frees us, 
 
 Has freed our brethren too. 
 Not unto us : in glory 
 
 The angels catch the strain, 
 And cast their crowns before Thee 
 
 Exultingly again.

 My foes are ever near me, 
 
 Around me and within ; 
 But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, 
 
 And shield my soul from sin.

 2 Lead on, O King Eternal, 
 
 Till sin's fierce war shall cease, 
 And Holiness shall whisper 
 
 The sweet Amen of peace ; 
 For not with swords loud clashing, 
 
 Nor roll of stirring drums, 
 But deeds of love and mercy, 
 
 The heavenly kingdom comes. 
 
 Lead on, O King Eternal : 
 
 We follow, not with fears ; 
 For gladness breaks like morning 
 
 Where'er Thy face appears ; 
 Thy cross is lifted o'er us ; 
 
 We journey in its light : 
 The crown awaits the conquest ; 
 
 Lead on, O God of might.

 But now they taste unmingled love,

 And, that Thy followers may be

 O joy, that gentle voice to hear ! 
 
 3 O more than joy, to that dear Lord, 
 In purest, deepest love adored, 
 All lowly service to afford ! 
 
 4 O Jesus, throned above the height, 
 Adoring troops of angels bright 
 Wait on Thy bidding day and night 
 
 5 Thy sacred form we cannot see, 
 
 Yet, Lord, these hands may render Thee 
 Each lowly act of charity. 
 
 6 For while 'mid want and woe we move, 
 And tend Thy poor in gentle love, 
 We minister to Thee above.

 Calm all our strife, give faith and love ;

 Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one, 
 Our comforts and our cares.

 It gives us inward pain ; 
 But we shall still be joined in heart,

 While each in expectation lives, 
 And longs to see the day.

 Life eternal they shall have : 
 With them numbered may we be,

 They enjoy the Saviour's peace ; 
 All their sins are washed away,

 Glory is in them begun :

 1 GIVE me the wings of faith to rise 
 
 Within the veil, and see 
 The saints above, how great their joys, 
 And bright their glories be. 
 
 2 Once they were mourning here below, 
 
 And wet their couch with tears ; 
 They wrestled hard, as we do now, 
 With sins, and doubts, and fears. 
 
 3 I ask them whence their victory came; 
 
 They, with united breath, 
 
 Part of His host hath crossed the flood, 
 And part is crossing now. 
 
 His militant, embodied host, 
 With wishful looks we stand, 
 
 And long to see that happy coast, 
 And reach that heavenly land : 
 
 E'en now by faith we join our hands 
 With those that went before, 
 
 And greet the blood-besprinkled bands 
 On the eternal shore. 
 
 Rev. Charles Wesley, 1759 
 
 Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, 
 Their triumph to His death. 
 
 4 They marked the footsteps that He trod, 
 
 His zeal inspired their breast ; 
 And, following their incarnate God, 
 Possess the promised rest. 
 
 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise 
 
 For His own pattern given, 
 While the long cloud of witnesses 
 Show the same path to heaven.

 Like the wideness of the sea ; In the blood that has been shed ; 
 
 There's a kindness in His justice, There is joy for all the members 
 
 Which is more than liberty. In the sorrows of the Head. 
 
 There is welcome for the sinner, If our love were but more simple, 
 
 And more graces for the good ; We should take Him at His word ; 
 
 There is mercy with the Saviour, And our lives would be all sunshine 
 
 There is healing in His blood ; In the sweetness of our Lord.

 His strength shall bear thy spirit up, 
 And brace thy heart, and nerve

 And let thy foolish pride be still ; 
 Thy Lord refused not e'en to die 
 Upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.

 And calmly sin's wild deluge brave ; 
 'Twill guide thee to a better home,

 Nor think till death to lay it down ; 
 For only he who bears the cross 
 May hope to wear the glorious crown.

 1 BEHOLD ! a Stranger's at the door ; 
 He gently knocks, has knocked before ; 
 Has waited long, is waiting still : 
 You treat no other friend so ill. 
 
 2 But will He prove a friend indeed? 
 He will, the very Friend you need ; 
 The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He, 
 With garments dyed at Calvary. 
 
 3 O lovely attitude ! He stands 
 With melting heart and laden hands : 
 O matchless kindness ! and He shows 
 This matchless kindness to His foes. 
 
 4 Rise, touched with gratitude Divine ; 
 Turn out His enemy and thine, 
 
 That soul-destroying monster, sin, 
 And let the heavenly Stranger in. 
 
 5 Admit Him ere His anger burn ; 
 His feet, departed, ne'er return : 
 Admit Him, or the hour's at hand 
 When at His door denied you'll stand.

 2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking ; 
 
 And lo, that hand is scarred, 
 And thorns Thy brow encircle, 
 
 And tears Thy face have marred : 
 O love that passeth knowledge, 
 
 So patiently to wait ! 
 O sin that hath no equal, 
 
 So fast to bar the gate ! 
 
 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading 
 
 In accents meek and low, 
 " I died for you, My children, 
 
 And will ye treat Me so ?' ' 
 O Lord, with shame and sorrow

 Dear Saviour, enter, enter,

 To-day the Father calls me, 
 
 The Holy Spirit waits, 
 The blessed angels gather 
 
 Around the heavenly gates : 
 No question will be asked me, 
 
 How often I have come ; 
 Although I oft have wandered, 
 
 It is my Father's home. 
 
 all-embracing mercy, 
 Thou ever-open door, 
 
 What shall I do without thee 
 When heart and eyes run o'er ? 
 
 When all things seem against me, 
 To drive me to despair, 
 
 1 know one gate is open, 
 
 One ear will hear my prayer.

 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord ! 
 'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word ; 
 Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee, 
 "Say, poor sinner, lovest Thou Me? 
 
 2 u l delivered thee when bound, 
 And, when bleeding, healed thy wound; 
 Sought thee wandering, set thee right, 
 Turned thy darkness into light. 
 
 3 "Can a woman's tender care 
 Cease towards the child she bare? 
 Yes, she may forgetful be, 
 
 Yet will I remember thee. 
 
 4 "Mine is an unchanging love, 
 Higher than the heights above, 
 Deeper than the depths beneath, 
 Free and faithful, strong as death. 
 
 5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon, 
 When the work of grace is done ; 
 Partner of My throne shalt be : 
 Say, poor sinner, lovest thou Me?" 
 
 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint, 
 That my love is weak and faint ; 
 Yet I love Thee and adore ; 
 
 O for grace to love Thee more !

 2 Day is declining, and the sun is low ; 
 
 The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go : 
 Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now. 
 
 3 The bridal hall is filling for the feast ; 
 
 Pass in, pass in, and be the Bridegroom's guest : 
 Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now. 
 
 4 Yet there is room : still open stands the gate, 
 The gate of love ; it is not yet too late : 
 Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now. 
 
 5 Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call ; 
 Come, lingerer, come ; enter that festal hall : 
 Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now. 
 
 6 Ere night that gate may close, and seal thy doom ; 
 Then the last low, long cry, " No room, no room !" 
 No room, no room ! O woeful cry, " No room !"

 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand 
 In the pure glory of that holy land ? 
 Before the whiteness of that throne appear ? 
 
 Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 
 
 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, 
 Evil is ever with me day by day ; 
 
 Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, 
 
 " Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 
 
 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear ; 
 
 His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, 
 And His the blood that can for all atone, 
 And set me faultless there before the throne. 
 
 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord ; 
 Thine all the merits, mine the great reward ; 
 Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown ; 
 Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.

 Lord, I confess to Thee 
 
 Sadly my sin ; 
 All I am tell I Thee, 
 
 All I have been : 
 Purge Thou my sin away, 
 Wash Thou my soul this day ; 
 
 Lord, make me clean. 
 
 3 Faithful and just art Thou, 
 
 Forgiving all ; 
 Loving and kind art Thou 
 
 When poor ones call : 
 Lord, let the cleansing blood, 
 Blood of the Lamb of God, 
 
 Pass o'er my soul. 
 
 4 Then all is peace and light 
 
 This soul within ; 
 Thus shall I walk with Thee, 
 
 The loved Unseen ; 
 Leaning on Thee, my God, 
 Guided along the road, 
 
 Nothing between.

 i O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, 
 Though all my crimes before Thee lie, 
 Behold them not with angry look, 
 But blot their memory from Thy book. 
 
 2 Create my nature pure within, 
 And form my soul averse to sin ; 
 Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart, 
 Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 
 
 3 I cannot live without Thy light, 
 Cast out and banished from Thy sight 
 Thy holy joys, my God, restore, 
 And guard me, that I fall no more. 
 
 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, 
 Is all the sacrifice I bring ; 
 
 The God of grace will ne'er despise 
 A broken heart for sacrifice.

 2 Not the labors of my hands 
 Can fulfil Thy law's demands ; 
 Could my zeal no respite know, 
 Could my tears for ever flow, 
 All for sin could not atone ; 
 Thou must save, and Thou alone.

 Simply to Thy cross I cling ; 
 Naked, come to Thee for dress,

 Helpless, look to Thee for grace ; 
 Foul, I to the fountain fly ; 
 Wash me, Saviour, or I die. 
 
 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, 
 When my eyelids close in death, 
 When I soar to worlds unknown, 
 See Thee on Thy judgment throne, 
 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
 Let me hide myself in Thee.

 1 O HELP us, Lord ; each hour of need

 Help us in thought, and word, and deed, 
 Each hour on ej'rth we live. 
 
 2 O help us when our spirits bleed, 
 With contrite anguish sore ; 
 
 And when our hearts are cold and dead, 
 O help us, Lord, the more. 
 
 3 O help us, through the prayer of faith 
 More firmly to believe; 
 
 For still, the more the servant hath, 
 The more shall he receive. 
 
 4 O help us, Jesus, from on high ; 
 We know no help but Thee : 
 
 O help us so to live and die

 Thee from the love of Christ 
 
 Nothing shall sever ; 
 And, when thy work is done, 
 
 Praise Him for ever. 
 
 Joseph Stammers, 1830: verse 3, 1. 7, alt. 
 
 253 (SCHUMANN or LABAN) S. M. 
 
 1 MY soul, be on thy guard ; 
 
 Ten thousand foes arise, 
 A host of sins are pressing hard 
 To draw thee from the skies. 
 
 2 O watch, and fight, and pray; 
 
 The battle ne'er give o'er ; 
 Renew it boldly every day, 
 And help Divine implore. 
 
 3 Ne'er think the victory won, 
 
 Nor lay thine armor down ; 
 Thine arduous work will not be done, 
 Till thou obtain thy crown. 
 
 4 Fight on, my soul, till death 
 
 Shall bring thee to thy God ; 
 He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, 
 Up to His blest abode.

 3 If with sore affliction 
 
 Thou in love chastise, 
 Pour Thy benediction 
 
 On the sacrifice; 
 Then, upon Thine altar 
 
 Freely offered up, 
 Though the flesh may falter, 
 
 Faith shall drink the cup. 
 
 4 When in dust and ashes 
 
 To the grave I sink, 
 While heaven's glory flashes 
 
 O'er the shelving brink, 
 On Thy truth relying 
 
 Through that mortal strife, 
 Lord, receive me, dying, 
 
 To eternal life.

 1 MY God and Father, while I stray 
 Far from my home in life's rough way, 
 
 teach me from my heart to say, 
 
 Thy will be done. 
 
 2 Though dark my path and sad my lot, 
 Let me be still and murmur not, 
 
 Or breathe the prayer Divinely taught, 
 Thy will be done. 
 
 3 If thou shouldst call me to resign 
 What most I prize, it ne'er was mine; 
 
 1 only yield Thee what was Thine: 
 
 Thy will be done. 
 
 4 If but my fainting heart be blest 
 With Thy sweet Spirit for its guest, 
 My God, to Thee I leave the rest; 
 
 Thy will be done. 
 
 5 Renew my will from day to day ; 
 Blend it with Thine, and take away 
 All that now makes it hard to say, 
 
 Thy will be done. 
 
 6 Then, when on earth I breathe no more 
 The prayer oft mixed with tears before, 
 I'll sing upon a happier shore, 
 
 Thy will be done.

 1 FATHER of Love, our Guide and 
 O lead us gently on, [Friend, 
 
 Until life's trial time shall end,

 2 We know not what the path may be 
 As yet by us untrod ; 
 
 But we can trust our all to Thee, 
 Our Father and our God. 
 
 3 If called, like Abraham's child, to climb 
 The hill of sacrifice, 
 
 Some angel may be there in time; 
 Deliverance shall arise : 
 
 My heart shall find delight in praise, 
 Or seek relief in prayer. 
 
 5 When gladness wings my favored hour, 
 Thy love my thoughts shall fill ; 
 
 Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, 
 My soul shall meet Thy will. 
 
 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, 
 The lowering storm shall see; 
 
 My steadfast heart shall know no fear; 
 That heart will rest on Thee. 
 
 Helen M. Williams, 1786 
 
 4 Or, if some darker lot be good, 
 O teach us to endure 
 
 The sorrow, pain, or solitude, 
 That make the spirit pure. 
 
 5 Christ by no flowery pathway came ; 
 And we, His followers here, 
 
 Must do Thy will and praise Thy Name, 
 In hope, and love, and fear. 
 
 6 And, till in heaven we sinless bow, 
 
 And faultless anthems raise, 
 O Father, Son, and Spirit, now 
 Accept our feeble praise.

 His wisdom ever waketh, 
 His sight is never dim ; 
 
 He knows the way He taketh, 
 And I will walk with Him. 
 
 Green pastures are before me, 
 
 Which yet I have not seen ; 
 Bright skies will soon be o'er me, 
 
 Where the dark clouds have been. 
 My hope I cannot measure, 
 
 The path to life is free ; 
 My Saviour has my treasure, 
 
 And He will walk with me.

 My God, I wish them there ; 
 My life, my friends, my soul, I leave 
 Entirely to Thy care.

 Whatever they may be ; 
 Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, 
 As best may seem to Thee, 
 
 While He affords His aid 
 
 I cannot yield to fear ; 
 Though I should walk through death's 
 dark shade, 
 
 My Shepherd's with me there. 
 
 The bounties of Thy Jove 
 
 Shall crown my following days; 
 
 Nor from Thy house will I remove, 
 Nor cease to speak Thy praise.

 My times are in Thy hand ; 
 
 Why should I doubt or fear ? 
 A Father's hand will never cause

 The hand my cruel sins had pierced 
 
 Is now my guard and guide.

 2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps 
 
 To bring the Lord Christ down ; 
 In vain we search the lowest deeps, 
 For Him no depths can drown : 
 
 3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet 
 
 A present Help is He ; 
 And faith has still its Olivet, 
 And love its Galilee. 
 
 4 The healing of His seamless dress 
 
 Is by our beds of pain ; 
 
 We touch Him in life's throng and 
 And we are whole again. [press, 
 
 5 Through Him the first fond prayers are 
 
 Our lips of childhood frame ; [said 
 The last low whispers of our dead 
 Are burdened with His Name. 
 
 6 Our Lord, and Master of us all, 
 
 Whate'er our name or sign, 
 We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, 
 We test our lives by Thine.

 MAJESTIC sweetness sits enthroned 
 
 Upon the Saviour's brow; 
 His head with radiant glories crowned, 
 
 His lips with grace o'erflow. 
 
 4 To Him I owe my life and breath, 
 And all the joys I have ; 
 He makes me triumph over death, 
 And saves me from the grave. 
 
 No mortal can with Him compare, 
 Among the sons of men ; 
 
 Fairer is He than all the fair 
 That fill the heavenly train. 
 
 He saw me plunged in deep distress, 
 
 He flew to my relief; 
 For me He bore the shameful cross, 
 
 And carried all my grief. 
 
 5 To heaven, the place of His abode, 
 
 He brings my weary feet ; 
 Shows me the glories of my God, 
 And makes my joys complete. 
 
 6 Since from His bounty I receive 
 
 Such proofs of love Divine, 
 Had I a thousand hearts to give, 
 Lord, they should all be Thine-

 Jewels to Thee are gaudy toys, 
 And gold is sordid dust.

 Not to mine eyes is light so dear, 
 Nor friendship half so sweet.

 The noblest balm of all its wounds, 
 The cordial of its care.

 2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? 
 To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. 
 
 3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? 
 On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. 
 
 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? 
 In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. 
 
 5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? 
 Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. 
 
 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? 
 Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 
 
 7 It is enough : earth's struggles soon shall cease, 
 And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

 1 MY spirit on Thy care, 
 
 Blest Saviour, I recline; 
 Thou wilt not leave me to despair, 
 For Thou art Love Divine. 
 
 2 In Thee I place my trust, 
 
 On Thee I calmly rest; 
 I know Thee good, I know Thee just, 
 And count Thy choice the best. 
 
 3 Whate'er events betide, 
 
 Thy will they all perform ; 
 Safe in Thy breast my head I hide. 
 Nor fear the coming storm. 
 
 4 Let good or ill befall, 
 
 It must be good for me ; 
 Secure of having Thee in all, 
 Of having all in Thee.

 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, 3 When He lived on earth abased, 
 
 Could or would have shed their blood ? " Friend of sinners' ' was His name ; 
 But our Jesus died to have us Now above all glory raised, 
 
 Reconciled in Him to God: He rejoices in the same; 
 
 This was boundless love indeed; Still He calls them brethren, friends, 
 
 Jesus is a Friend in need. And to all their wants attends. 
 
 4 O for grace our hearts to soften ! 
 
 Teach us, Lord, at length to love ; 
 We, alas ! forget too often 
 What a Friend we have above : 
 
 But when home our souls are brought, 
 We will love Thee as we ought. 
 
 Rev. John Newton, 1779 
 
 304 (ECKHARDTSHEIM) CM. 
 
 1 IF Christ is mine, then all is mine, 
 And more than angels know ; 
 
 Both present things and things to come, 
 And grace and glory too. 
 
 2 If He is mine, then, though He frown, 
 He never will forsake ; 
 
 His chastisements all work for good, 
 And but His love bespeak. 
 
 3 If he is mine, I need not fear 
 The rage of earth and hell; 
 
 He will support my feeble frame, 
 And all their power repel. 
 
 4 If He is mine, let friends forsake, 
 And earthly comforts flee ; 
 
 He, the Dispenser of all good, 
 Is more than these to me. 
 
 5 If He is mine, I'll fearless pass 
 Through death's tremendous vale; 
 
 He'll be my Comfort and my Stay 
 When heart and flesh shall fail. 
 
 6 Let Jesus tell me He is mine, 
 I nothing want beside : 
 
 My soul shall at the Fountain live 
 When all the streams are dried.

 And my wistful heart said faintly,

 All my gain I count but loss ; 
 Earthly pleasures fade away, — 
 Clouds they are that hide my day : 
 Hence, vain shadows ! let me see 
 Jesus crucified for me.

 By Thy blood, O spotless Lamb, 
 Shed so willingly for me ; 
 
 Let my heart be all Thine own, 
 
 Let me live to Thee alone.

 Now Thy Name alone to bear, 
 Thy dear voice alone obey 
 
 Is my daily, hourly prayer. 
 Whom have I in heaven but Thee ? 
 Nothing else my joy can be. 
 
 Jesus, Master, I am Thine ; 
 
 Keep me faithful, keep me near ; 
 Let Thy presence in me shine 
 
 All my homeward way to cheer.

 Take it to the Lord in prayer ! 
 Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ? 
 
 Take it to the Lord in prayer ! 
 In His arms He'll take and shield thee, 
 
 Thou wilt find a solace there.

 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds 
 The oil of gladness on our heads, 
 A place than all besides more sweet ; 
 It is the blood-stained mercy-seat. 
 
 3 There is a spot where spirits blend, 
 Where friend holds fellowship with 
 
 friend, 
 Though sundered far ; by faith they 
 
 meet, 
 Around the common mercy-seat. 
 
 4 Ah, whither could we flee for aid, 
 When tempted, desolate, dismayed, 
 Or how the hosts of hell defeat, 
 Had suffering saints no mercy-seat ? 
 
 5 There, there on eagle wings we soar, 
 And time and sense seem all no 
 
 more, 
 And heaven comes down our souls 
 
 to greet, 
 And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 
 
 6 O may my hand forget her skill, 
 My tongue be silent, cold, and still, 
 This bounding heart forget to beat, 
 If I forget the mercy-seat.

 1 BEHOLD the throne of grace ! 
 The promise calls me near : 
 There Jesus shows a smiling face, 
 And waits to answer prayer. 
 
 Thine image, Lord, bestow, 
 Thy presence and Thy love ; 
 
 I ask to serve Thee here below, 
 And reign with Thee above. 
 
 2 My soul, ask what thou wilt ; 4 Teach me to live by faith ; 
 
 Thou canst not be too bold ; Conform my will to Thine ; 
 
 Since His own blood for thee He spilt, Let me victorious be in death, 
 
 What else can He withhold ? And then in glory shine.

 Our wandering spirits stray, 
 And thoughts and lips move heavily, 
 Lord, teach us how to pray. 
 
 1 Too vile to venture near Thy Throne, 
 Too poor to turn away ; 
 Our only voice, — Thy Spiri t ' s groan ,— 
 Lord, teach us how to pray.

 We know not how to seek Thy face, 
 Unless Thou lead the way ; 
 
 We have no words, unless Thy grace, 
 Lord, teach us how to pray. 
 
 Here every thought and fond desire 
 
 We on Thine altar lay ; 
 And when our souls have caught Th y 
 fire, 
 
 Lord, teach us how to pray.

 That eye, that arm, that love to 
 reach, 
 That listening ear to gain. 
 
 That power is prayer, which soars on 
 high, 
 Through Jesus, to the throne, 
 And moves the hand which moves the 
 world, 
 To bring salvation down. 
 
 Rev. James C. Wallace (c. 1793-1841) 
 
 2 There is an arm that never tires 
 
 When human strength gives way; 
 There is a love that never fails 
 When earthly loves decay. 
 
 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs ; 
 
 That arm upholds the sky ; 
 That ear is filled with angel songs ; 
 That love is throned on high. 
 
 4 But there's a power which man can wield 
 
 When mortal aid is vain, 
 
 325 (BYEFIELD) C. M. 
 
 1 PRAYER is the soul's sincere desire, 
 
 Uttered or unexpressed, 
 The motion of a hidden fire 
 That trembles in the breast. 
 
 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, 
 
 The falling of a tear, 
 The upward glancing of an eye 
 When none but God is near. 
 
 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech 
 
 That infant lips can try ; 
 Prayer the sublimest strains that reach 
 The Majesty on high. 
 
 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice 
 
 Returning from his ways, 
 While angels in their songs rejoice, 
 And cry, " Behold, he prays." 
 
 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 
 
 The Christian's native air, 
 His watchword at the gates of death ; 
 He enters heaven with prayer. 
 
 6 O Thou, by whom we come to God, 
 
 The Life, the Truth, the Way, 
 The path of prayer Thyself hast trod ; 
 Lord, teach us how to pray.

 2 Should earth against my soul engage, 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, 
 
 And hellish darts be hurled, And storms of sorrow fall, 
 
 Then I can smile at Satan's rage, May I but safely reach my home, 
 
 And face a frowning world. My God, my heaven, my all : 
 
 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul 
 In seas of heavenly rest, 
 And not a wave of trouble roll 
 Across my peaceful breast.

 O FOR a heart to praise my God, 3 
 
 A heart from sin set free ; 
 A heart that always feels Thy blood, 
 
 So freely spilt for me !

 My great Redeemer's throne ; 
 Where only Christ is heard to speak, 
 Where Jesus reigns alone ;

 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, 
 Believing, true, and clean, 
 
 Which neither life nor death can part 
 From Him that dwells within ; 
 
 A heart in every thought renewed, 
 
 And full of love Divine ; 
 Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, 
 
 A copy, Lord, of Thine. 
 
 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ; 
 Come quickly from above ; 
 Write Thy new Name upon my heart, 
 Thy new, best Name of Love.

 A stranger to myself and Thee ; 
 Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, 
 Forgetful of my highest love. 
 
 2 Why should my passions mix with 
 
 earth, 
 And thus debase my heavenly birth ? 
 Why should I cleave to things 
 
 below, 
 And let my God, my Saviour, go ? 
 
 3 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. 
 
 4 Be earth, with all her scenes, with-

 Let noise and vanity be gone ; 
 In secret silence of the mind 
 My heaven, and there my God, I find.

 And hide my simple heart above ; 
 Above the thcrns of choking care, 
 The gilded baits of worldly love.

 Whose eyes mine inmost substance 
 see, 
 And labor on at Thy command, 
 And offer all my works to Thee.

 And every moment watch and pray ; 
 And still to things eternal look, 
 And hasten to Thy glorious day :

 And run my course with even joy,

 What though the tempest rage, 
 Heaven is my home ; 
 
 Short is my pilgrimage, 
 Heaven is my home : 
 
 And time's wild wintry blast 
 
 Soon shall be overpast ; 
 
 I shall reach home at last, 
 Heaven is my home. 
 
 3 There, at my Saviour's side, 
 Heaven is my home ; 
 
 I shall be glorified, 
 Heaven is my home. 
 
 There are the good and blest, 
 
 Those I love most and best ; 
 
 And there I too shall rest, 
 Heaven is my home. 
 
 4 Therefore I murmur not, 
 
 Heaven is my home ; 
 Whate'er my earthly lot, 
 
 Heaven is my home : 
 And I shall surely stand 
 There at my Lord's right hand ; 
 Heaven is my fatherland, 
 
 Heaven is my home.

 When shall my la - bors have an end, In joy and peace, and thee ? A - men. 
 
 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built 
 
 And pearly gates behold? [walls 
 Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, 
 And streets of shining gold ? 
 
 3 There happier bowers than Eden's 
 
 bloom, 
 Nor sin nor sorrow know : 
 Blest seats ! through rude and stormy 
 
 scenes 
 I onward press to you. 
 
 4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, 
 
 Or feel at death dismay? 
 
 I've Canaan's goodly land in view, 
 And realms of endless day. 
 
 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there 
 Around my Saviour stand ; 
 And soon my friends in Christ below 
 Will join the glorious band. 
 
 6 Jerusalem, my happy home ! 
 My soul still pants for thee : 
 Then shall my labors have an end, 
 When I thy joys shall see.

 1 O WHERE shall rest be found, 
 Rest for the weary soul ? 
 
 'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, 
 Or pierce to either pole : 
 
 2 The world can never give 
 The bliss for which we sigh ; 
 
 'Tis not the whole of life to live, 
 Nor all of death to die. 
 
 3 Beyond this vale of tears 
 There is a life above, 
 
 Unmeasured by the flight of years, 
 And all that life is love : 
 
 S. M. 
 
 4 There is a death whose pang 
 Outlasts the fleeting breath; 
 
 O what eternal horrors hang 
 Around the second death ! 
 
 5 Lord God of truth and grace, 
 Teach us that death to shun, 
 
 Lest we be banished from Thy face, 
 And evermore undone. 
 
 6 Here would we end our quest : 
 Alone are found in Thee 
 
 The life of perfect love, the rest 
 Of immortality.

 O could we make our doubts remove, 
 Those gloomy doubts that rise, 
 
 And see the Canaan that we love 
 With unbeclouded eyes ; 
 
 Could we but climb where Moses stood, 
 And view the landscape o'er, [flood, 
 
 Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold 
 Should fright us from the shore.

 2 As the winged arrow flies 
 
 Speedily the mark to find, 
 As the lightning from the skies 
 
 Darts, and leaves no trace behind, - 
 Swiftly thus our fleeting days 
 
 Bear us down life's rapid stream 
 Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, 
 
 All below is but a dream. 
 
 3 Thanks for mercies past receive ; 
 
 Pardon of our sins renew ; 
 Teach us henceforth how to live 
 
 With eternity in view ; 
 Bless Thy word to young and old ; 
 
 Fill us with a Saviour's love ; 
 And when life's short tale is told, 
 
 May we dwell with Thee above.

 1 O GOD, beneath Thy guiding hand, 
 Our exiled fathers crossed the sea ; 
 And when they trod the wintry strand, 
 With prayer and psalm they worshipped 
 
 Thee. 
 
 2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, 
 
 the prayer : 
 Thy blessing came; and still its power 
 Shall onward, through all ages, bear 
 The memory of that holy hour.

 Came with those exiles o'er the waves ; 
 And where their pilgrim feet have 
 
 trod, 
 The God they trusted guards their 
 graves. 
 
 4 And here Thy Name, O God of love, 
 Their children's children shall adore, 
 Till these eternal hills remove, 
 
 And spring adorns the earth no more.
