The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come worship at his throne;
Come bow before the Lord;

We are his works and not our own;
He formed us by his word.

4 To day attend his voice,

Nor dare provoke his rod,
Come like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God!

HYMN 7. L. M.

Universal Praise.

FROM all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word;

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

HYMN 8. 8, 7.

Praise to Christ.

1 HAIL, thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, thou everlasting King!

Thou didst suffer to release us,
Thou didst free salvation bring
Hail, thou agonizing Saviour!
Bearer of our sin and shame;

[ocr errors]

By thy merits we find favour,
Life is given through thy name.

2 Paschal Lamb! by God appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid;
By almighty love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made:
All thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of thy blood,
Opened is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made with man and God

3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side;
There for sinners thou art pleading,
There thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding

Till in glory we appear.

PRAYER.

HYMN 9. C. M.

Sincerity in Prayer.

1 WHEN daily I kneel down to pray, As I am taught to do,

God does not care for what I say,
Unless I feel it too...

2 Yet foolish thoughts my heart beguile;
And when I pray or sing,
I'm often thinking all the while
About some other thing.

3 0 let me never, never dare
To act a trifler's part,

Or think that God will hear a prayer
That comes not from the heart.

4 But if I make his ways my choice,
As holy children do,

Then, while I seek him with my voice
My heart will love him too.

HYMN 10. C. M.

Child's Prayer.

1LORD, teach a little child to pray;
Thy grace betimes impart;

And grant thy Holy Spirit may
Renew my sinful heart.

2 A fallen creature, I was born,
And from my birth I strayed;
I must be wretched and forlorn
Without thy mercy's aid.

3 But Christ can all my sins forgive,
And wash away their stain;
Can fit my soul with him to live,
And in his kingdom reign.

4 For all who early seek his face
Shall surely taste his love;

Jesus will guide them by his grace,
To dwell with him above.

HYMN 11. C. M.

For a New Heart.

1 FOR a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free;

A heart made clean by thy rich blood,
So freely shed for me.

2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne,-
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.

3 An humble, lowly, contrite heart;
Believing, true, and clean;

Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.

4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine,

Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine.

HYMN 12. 7's.

Hymn for a Child.

ESUS bids me seek his face

JES

[ocr errors]

Lord, I come to ask thy grace;

Send thy Spirit from above,
Teach me to obey and love:
Unto thee I fain would go,
All I want thou canst bestow.

2 Thou wilt e'en a child receive;
Thou wilt all my sins forgive:
O, dissolve this heart of stone,
Make me thine, and thine alone :
Sin is present with me still,
Disobedient is my will.

3 Sinful thoughts too oft prevail,
Vain desires my heart assail:
O, my Saviour, make me whole,
Form anew my inmost soul;
Kindly guard me every day,
Be my everlasting stay.

HYMN 13. C. M

A Child's Prayer.

1 LORD, teach a sinful child to pray,

And then accept my prayer;
For thou canst hear the words I say,
For thou art every where.

2 A little sparrow cannot fall
Unnoticed, Lord, by thee;

And though I am so young and small,
Thou dost take care of me.

3 Teach me to do the thing that's right,
And when I sin, forgive;
And make it still my chief delight
To serve thee while I live.

4 Whatever trouble I am in,

To thee for help I'll call;

But keep me, more than all, from sin,
For that's the worst of all.
