3 "O holy, holy, holy Lord, 4 The Apostles' glorious company, 5 The holy Church throughout the world, Of boundless majesty. 11s. M. 7. MRS. OSGOOD. Glad Worship. I APPROACH not the altar with gloom in thy soul, God loves not the sadness of fear and mistrust; 2 His bounty is tender, his being is love; His smile fills with splendor the blue arch above; Confiding, believing, O enter always His courts with thanksgiving, his portals with praise! 3 Come not to his temple with pride in thy mien, L. M. 8. Praise to the Creator. WATTS. 1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, 3 We e are his people, we his care, 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, 8 & 7s. M. 9. ANONYMOUS. For the Gifts of the Spirit. 1 HOLY Spirit! source of gladness, Shine amid the clouds of night; O'er our weariness and sadness Breathe thy life, and shed thy light! Send us thine illumination, 2 Let that love, which knows no measure, Now in quickening showers descend, Bringing us the richest treasure Man can wish or God can send; L. M. 10. H. WARE, JR. Coming in the Name of Jesus. 1 GREAT God! the followers of thy Son, 2 O grant thy blessing here to-day; 3 We seek the truth which Jesus brought; 4 May faith, and hope, and love abound; 10s. M. 11. The Return of the Sabbath. ANONYMOUS. 1 AGAIN the day returns of holy rest, Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest, When, like his own, he bade our labors cease, That we might think of him, and be at peace. 2 Let us devote this consecrated day To learn his will, and all we learn obey; 3 Father of heaven! in whom our hopes confide, Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide, - In life our Guardian, and in death our Friend, L. M. 12. E. H. CHAPIN. 1 OUR Father The Gate of Heaven. God! not face to face May mortal sense commune with thee, 2 Lord! be the spot where now we meet Here may desponding care look up, 3 Here may the sick and wandering soul, O Lord! make clean our Hearts. 1 O FATHER! with protecting care 2 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast, And make our secret soul to be 3 So, in the last and dreadful day, When earth and heaven shall melt away, Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain, Shall swell the sound of praise again. |
