2. Oh! may I always ready stand, 3. Blest Jesu, Thou on heaven intent, 4. Shine on me, Lord, new life impart, KEN. HYMN 20. "All my springs are in thee." Ps. lxxxvii. 7. 1. OBJECT of my first desire, Jesus crucified for me, All to happiness aspire, Only to be found in Thee: Thee to see, and Thee to love, 2. Lord, it is not life to live, If thy presence Thou deny; Lord, if Thou thy presence give, 'Tis no longer death to die : Source and Giver of repose, 3. Whilst I see thy love to me, Ev'ry object teems with joy ; Let me but Thyself possess, Heav'n below, and heav'n above. TOPLADY. HYMN 21. "A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." LUKE ii. 32. 1. O'ER the realms of pagan darkness, Let the eye of pity gaze; See the kindreds of the people, Lost in sin's bewildering maze : On the face of all the earth. 2. Light of them that sit in darkness! Rise and shine, thy blessings bring: Light to lighten all the Gentiles ! Rise with healing in thy wing: To thy brightness Let all kings and nations come. 66 3. May the heathen, now adoring Fill the earth as floods the sea. 4. Thou, to whom all power is given, Spread thy name from land to land: Alway to the end of time. (Helmsley.) HYMN 22. COTTERILL. A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you." EZEKIEL Xxxxvi. 26. 1. O GOD of power, eternal Lord, All nature rose at thy dread word, 2. With steady course the shining sun And all the hours obedient run The circle of the day. 3. But, ah! how far my spirit flies, My soul forgets the heavenly prize, 4. Lord, thy renewing grace bestow, Melt down my will, and let it flow, HYMN 23. "Enoch walked with God." GEN. v. 24. 1. Oн for a closer walk with God, 2. Where is the blessedness I knew, 3. What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! 4. Return, O holy Dove! return, I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, 5. The dearest idol I have known, Help me to tear it from thy throne, 6. So shall my walk be close with God, So purer light shall mark the road (St. Ann.) CowPER. HYMN 24. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." COL. iii. 2. 1. OH, from the world's vile slavery, Almighty Saviour, set me free: And let my treasure be above; Be there my thoughts, be there my love. 2. But oft, alas! too well I know, My thoughts, my love, are fix'd below: The heart unmov'd, the absent mind. 3. Oh, what that frozen heart can move |
