1 DISOWN'D (L. M.) ISOWN'D of heaven, by man oppress'd, Outcasts from Sion's hallow'd ground, Wherefore should Israel's sons, once bless'd, Still roam the scorning world around? 2 Lord, visit thy forsaken race, Back to thy fold the wanderers bring 4 Hail, glorious day, expected long! pour; (IV. 1.) Thou only art holy, 2 To nations long dark Thy light shall be shown; FOR SUNDAY AND CHARITY SCHOOLS. COM In one glad song of praise; To God, the God of love, Our grateful hearts we raise : To God alone your praise belongs; 2 Now we are taught to read To God alone the praise is due, 3 Within these hallow'd walls, you. Our wandering feet are brought; To God alone your offerings bring; Children. 4 For blessings such as these, Our gratitude receive; 5 1 Lord, here accept our hearts, Great God, accept their infant songs; 5 Lord, bid this work of love 1 Be crown'd with meet success; This institution bless: Thus shall the praise resound to thee, HYMN 111. GLORY the move LORY to the Father give, (111. 1.) God in whom we move and live; 2 Glory to the Son we bring, Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King; 3 Glory to the Holy Ghost, 4 Glory in the highest be To the blessed Trinity, For the Gospel from above, For the word that "God is love." WHEN Jesus left his heavenly throne, He chose an humble birth; Like us unhonour'd and unknown, He came to dwell on earth: 2 Like him, may we be found below Like him, in grace and knowledge grow 3 Sweet were his words and kind his look, Their infants in his arms he took, And on his bosom bless'd: 4 Safe from the world's alluring harms, Beneath his watchful eye, 1 O, thus encircled in his arms, May we for ever lie. HYMN 113. ORD, how delightful 'tis to see A whole assembly worship thee: (L. M.) At once they sing, at once they pray; They hear of heaven, and learn the way. 2 I have been there, and still would go, "Tis like a little heaven below; Not all that earth and sin can say, Shall tempt me to forget this day. 3 O write upon my memory, Lord, The text and doctrine of thy word; That I may break thy laws no more, But love thee better than before. 4 With thoughts of Christ and things divine, Fill up this sinful heart of mine; 1 That hoping pardon through his blood, HYMN 114. MERCY, descending from above, In softest accents pleads; O may each tender bosom move, 2 Children our kind protection claim, 3 Delightful work, young souls to win, To seek their Saviour's face. 4 Almighty God, thine influence shed The honour of thy Name be spread, (C. M.) 1 CHARITABLE OCCASIONS. HYMN 115. (c. M.) BFeels all another's pain; LEST is the man whose softening heart To whom the supplicating eye Is never raised in vain: 2 Whose breast responds with generous warmth, 3 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow; He views, through mercy's melting eye, 4 To him protection shall be shown; Descend on those who thus fulfil The Christian law of love. RICH HYMN 116. ICH are the joys which cannot die, With God laid up in store; Treasures beyond the changing sky, Brighter than golden ore. 2 The seeds which piety and love In the fair fertile fields above 3 The mite, my willing hands can give, Grace shall the humble gift receive, Abounding grace repay. HYMN 117. ORD of life, all praise excelling, Deign'st to make thy humble dwelling 2 As thy love, through all creation, (C. M.) (III 3.) |
