3 The triflers, too, his eye can see,

Who only seem to take a part ;
They move the lip, and bend the knec,

But do not seek him with the heart. 4 O may we never trifle so,

Nor lose the days our God has given; But learn, by Sabbaths here below,

To spend eternity in heaven!

LORD'S DAY.

68.

C. M.
This is the day the Lord hath made,

He calls the hours his own :
Let heaven rojoice, let earth be glad,

And praise surround the throne. 2 To-day he roge and left the dead,

And Satan's empire fell ;' To-day the saints his triumphs spread,

And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosatna to th' anointed King,

To David's holy son ;
Help us, O Lord, descerid and bring

Salvation from thy throno.

69.

C. M.
COME, let us join with one accord,

In hymns around the throne;
This is the day our rising Lord

Hath made and callid his own. ? This is the day which God hath blest,

The brightest of the seven;
Type of that everlasting rest

The saints enjoy in heaven.
3 Then let us in his name sing on,

And hasten tu that day,
When our Redeemer shall come down,

And shadows pass away.
4 Not one, but all our days below,

Let us in hymns employ ;
And in our Lord rejoicing go
To his eternal joy.
70.

C. M.
ALMIGHTY God! around thy throne

Adoring angels bow,-
Thou art our Maker, and wo’ll own

A God and Father too. 2 Hail ! happy day, which gave us birth,

But hail that happier day,
That brought salvation to the carth,

And taught our souls to na!

3 Hail! this blest Sabbath, ever hail

The day of sacred rest;
The sacred chorus we will swell,

All hail! for ever blest.

71.

C. M.
This is the day when Christ arose.

So early from the dead;
Why should I keep my eyelids clos'd,

And waste my hours in bed ?
2 This is the day when Jesus broke

The powers of death and liell;
And shall I stiil wear Satan's yoke,

And love my sins so well? 3 To-day, with pleasure, Christians meet,

To pray, and hear thy word:
And I will go with cheerful feet,
To learn thy will O Lord.
72.

L. M.
Thus far we're spared again to meet,
Beforo Jenovah's mercy seat,
To scek his face, to praise and pray,
And hail another Sabbath-day.
Let every tongue its silence break,
Let ever', tongue his goodness speak,
Who deigns his glory to display,
On each returning Sabbath-day,

3 Through theiast week what have we done?

Yea, what since the last setting sun?
But grace prevails, and here we pay
The tribute of a Sabbath-day.
73.

L. M.
The clock has struck, I cannot stay,
0! let me rise and haste away;
I'll quit my bed, and leave my home,

The hour of school at length is come. 2 I would be there when prayer begins,

To seek the pardon of my sins;
I'd ask the favour of the Lord,

And pray to understand his word. 3 Oh, shall my teachers wait in vain,

While my neglect must give them pain! No, let me rather strive to be

First of their little family.
4 These Sabbath-days will soon bo o'er,

And I shall go to school no more;
I would not, then, endure the pain
Of having spent my time in vain.
74.

L. M..
I PAIN would love the day of rest,
Would still esteem this day the best,
But oft, alas! I've need to say,
“ How barren is my soul to-day !"

2 True-I frequent the house of prayor,

I go and sit with others there;
I hear, and sing, and seem to pray,

But oft my mind is call'd away.
3 I fain would see the Saviour near,

Of him would think, and speak, and hear-
But vain and sinful thoughts intrude,

And draw my soul from what is good. 4 Redeem'd from earth by Jesus' blood,

I fain would give the day to God;
But seldum to my purpose true,

'Tis mine to plan, but not to do. 5 Of sinners, Lord, I am the chief;

O bring thy worthless worm religfm
Revive thy work within my soul,
And all my thoughts and powers control.

75.
SEE! another week is gone!

Quickly have tho minutes past; This we enter now upon,

Will to many prove their last. į Mercy hitherto has spard,

But, have mercies been improv'd? Let us ask, am I prepar'd,

Should I be this week remov'd? ? Some we now no longer see,

Who their mortal race have run, Scem'd as fair for life as we,

When the former week begun.
