The Day of Judgment.

Dark trumpet's awful sound,

AY of judgment, day of wonders!

Louder than a thousand thunders,

Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons

Will the sinner's heart confound!

-You who long for his appearing,

Then shall say, "This GoD is mine."
Gracious Saviour,

Own me in that day for thine!

o 3 At his call, the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea,
All the powers of nature, shaken
By his looks prepare to flee:
Careless sinner,

What then will become of thee? e 4 Horrours past imagination,

Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, "Hence, accursed wretch, depart!

TE DEUM. A General Hymn of Praise.

GOD, we praise thee, and confess,
That thou the only Lord,

And everlasting Father art,

By all on earth ador'd.

2 To thee all angels cry aloud,
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim, and seraphim,
Continually do cry,—

3 "O holy, holy, holy Lord,

"Whom heavenly hosts obey;
"The world is with the glory fill'd
"Of thy majestic sway."

4 The apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crown'd with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

5 The holy church, throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses thee;

That thou eternal Father art,

Of boundless majesty.

6 Thy honour'd, true, and only Son,

And Holy Ghost the spring

Of never ceasing joy; O Christ,
Of glory thou art King.

HYMN 237. C. M. St. Ann's. [*]
Almighty Power and Majesty of God.
HE Lord our God is clothed with might,
The winds obey his will;

TH

He speaks and in his heavenly height,
The rolling sun stands still.

2 Rebel, ye waves-and o'er the land
With threatening aspect roar!
The Lord uplifts his awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.

3 Howl, winds of night! your force combine!
Without his high behest,

p Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow's nest.

4 His voice sublime is heard afar, In distant peals it dies;

u He yokes the whirlwinds to his car, And sweeps the howling skies.

5 Ye nations, bend-in reverence bend; Ye monarchs, wait his nod,

s And bid the choral song ascend To celebrate our God.

HYMN 238. C. M. Canterbury. [b]
The Fall and its Effects.

THEN Adam sinned, through all his race
The dire contagion spread ;-

Sickness and death, and deep disgrace

Sprang from our fallen head.

2 From God and happiness we fly,

To earth and sense confined; Lost in a maze of misery,

Yet to our misery blind.

3 Corruption flows through all our veins,
Our moral beauty's gone:

The gold is fled, the dross remains :
O sin, what hast thou done?

4 Jesus, reveal thy pardoning grace,
And draw our souls to Thee:
Thou art the only hiding-place
Where ruined souls can flee.

HYMN 239. L. M. Ellenthorpe. [*]

Justice glorified in the Display of Mercy.
H love! beyond conception great,

P10 That formed the vast stupendous plan;

Where all divine perfections meet
To reconcile rebellious man.

g 2 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze,
And justice all her right maintains-
p Astonished angels stoop to gaze,
While mercy o'er the guilty reigns. '
3 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too,
In Christ they both harmonious meet;
He paid to justice all her due,
And now he fills the mercy-seat.

4 Such are the wonders of our God;
And such th' amazing depths of grace,
To save from wrath's vindictive rod
The chosen sons of Adam's race.

s 5 With grateful songs, then let our souls
Surround our gracious Father's throne;
And all between the distant poles
His truth and mercy ever own.

Gild the spot that gave them birth ?— Traveller! ages are its own,

For the morning seems to dawn.-
Traveller! darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.-
Watchman! let thy wanderings cease;

Lo! the Son of God is come.

HYMN 241. L. M. Atlantic. [*]
Star of Bethlehem.

THEN marshalled on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky;

One star alone of all the train,

Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
o 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,
It is the Star of Bethlehem.

3 Once on the raging seas I rode,

The storm was loud,-the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd-and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my foundering bark. a 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; s When suddenly a star arose,

It was the Star of Bethlehem.

b 5 It was my guide, my light, my all,
It bade my dark foreboding cease;
And through the storm and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.

s 6 Now safely moor'd-my perils o'er,
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,

For ever and for evermore,

The Star!-the Star of Bethlehem! H. K. WHITE.
