8 Still the orphan and the stranger, still the widow owns thy care, Screen'd by thee in every danger, heard by thee in every prayer.

Hallelujah. Amen.

HYMN LVI.

At the Ordination or Institution of a Minister.

[ocr errors]

ATHER of mercies! in thy house
We pay our homage and our vows ;
Whilst with a grateful heart we share
These pledges of our Saviour's care.
2 The Saviour, when to heaven he rose,
In splendid triumph o'er his foes,
Scatter'd his gifts on men below,
And wide his royal bounties flow.
3 Hence sprang the Apostle's honour'd name,
Sacred beyond heroic fame;

Hence dictates the prophetic sage,
And hence the evangelic page.

4 In lower forms, to bless our eyes,
Pastors from hence and Teachers rise;
Who, though with feebler rays they shine,
Still mark a long extended line.

5 From Christ their varied gifts derive,
And, fed by him, their graces live;
Whilst, guarded by his potent hand,
Amidst the rage of hell they stand.
6 So shall the bright succession run,
Through all the courses of the sun;
Whilst unborn churches, by their care,
Shall rise and flourish large and fair.
7 Jesus our Lord, their hearts shall know
The spring whence all these blessings flow;
Pastors and people shout his praise,
Through the long round of endless days.

HYMN LVII.

Prayer for Ministers.

ATHER of mercies! bow thine ear,
Attentive to our earnest prayer;
We plead for those who plead for thee,
Successful pleaders may they be!

2 How great their work, how vast their charge! Do thou their anxious souls enlarge;

Their best acquirements are our gain,
We share the blessings they obtain.

3 Clothe, then, with energy divine

Their words, and let those words be thine;
To them thy sacred truth reveal,
Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal.

4 Teach them to sow the precious seed,
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed;
Teach them immortal souls to gain---
Souls that will well reward their pain.
5 Let thronging multitudes around,
Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
In humble strains thy grace implore,
And feel thy new-creating power.
6 Let sinners break their massy chains,
Distressed souls forget their pains;

Let light through distant realms be spread,
And Zion rear her drooping head.

¶ Whenever the Hymns are used at the celebration of divine service, a certain portion or portions of the Psalms of David in metre shall also be sung.

END OF THE HYMNS.

For thee, O God, our constant praise
From lowest depths of woe

From my youth up, may Israel say

Give ear, thou Judge of all the earth
God in the great assembly stands
God is our refuge in distress

God's temple crowns the holy mount

Had not the Lord, may Israel say
Happy the man whose tender care
Have mercy, Lord, on me
Hear, O my people, to my law

He's blest whose sins have pardon gain'd
He that has God his guardian made
Hold not thy peace, O Lord our God
How blest are they, who always keep
How blest is he, who ne'er consents
How good and pleasant must it be
How long wilt thou forget me, Lord
How many, Lord, of late are grown
How vast must their advantage be
I'll celebrate thy praises, Lord
In deep distress I oft have cry'd
In Judah the Almighty's known
In thee I put my steadfast trust
In vain, O man of lawless might
I waited meekly for the Lord
Jehovah reigns, let all the earth
Jehovah reigns, let therefore all
Judge me, O Lord, for I the paths
Just Judge of heaven, against my foes
Let all the just to God, with joy

[ocr errors]

Let all the lands, with shouts of joy
Let all the list'ning world attend

Let David, Lord, a constant place
Let God, the God of battle, rise
Lord, hear my cry, regard my prayer
Lord, hear my prayer, and to my cry
Lord, hear the voice of my complaint
Lord, hear the voice of my complaint
Lord, let thy just decrees the king

O God of hosts, the mighty Lord
O God, to whom revenge belongs
O Israel's Shepherd, Joseph's Guide
O Lord, thou art my righteous Judge
O Lord, my God, since I have plac'd
O Lord, my rock, to thee I cry
O Lord, our fathers oft have told
O Lord, to my relief draw near
O Lord, the Saviour and defence
O Lord, I am not proud of heart
On thee, who dwell'st above the skies
O praise the Lord, and thou, my soul
O praise the Lord with hymns of joy
O praise the Lord, for he is good
O praise the Lord with one consent
O praise the Lord in that blest place
