L. M. 439. The Presence of Christ implored. 1 WHERE two or three, with sweet accord, Now send the Spirit from above, 440. L. M. The Lord's Prayer. 1 FATHER, adored in worlds above! Thy glorious name be hallowed still; Thy kingdom come, with power and love, And earth, like heaven, obey thy wili. 2 Lord! make our daily wants thy care, Forgive the sins that we forsake; Oh! let us in thy kindness share, As fellow-men of ours partake. 3 Evils beset us every hour;— Thy kind protection we implore: Thine is the kingdom, thine the powerBe thine the glory evermore. 441. S. M. The Lord's Prayer. 1 OUR heavenly Father! hear The prayer we offer now ; "Thy name be hallowed far and near; 2 Thy kingdom come:-Thy will 3 Our daily bread supply, While by thy word, we live: The guilt of our iniquity 4 "From dark temptation's power,- And guide us to the end. 5 "Thine, then, for ever be 6 Thus humbly taught to pray, Through him we come to thee, and say,"All for his sake be done!" S. M. 442. Coming boldly to the Throne of Grace. I BEHOLD the throne of grace! 2 That rich atoning blood, Which sprinkled round we see, 3 Thine image, Lord! bestow, 4 Teach us to live by faith, Conform our will to thine; All worldly joys we 'll cheerful leave, 443. 78. Pleading with God. 1 LORD! I cannot let thee go, Do not turn away thy face, Yet have been upheld till now;- Since I plead for Jesus' sake. REVIVAL. 444. L. M. The Sun of Righteousness. 1 O SUN of righteousness! arise, 2 Or. all around, let grace descend, Like heavenly dew, or copious ghowers; That we may call our God our friend,That we may hai salvation ours. 145. S. M. Prayer for a Revival. 1 O LORD! thy work revive And let our dying graces live 2 Oh! let thy chosen few Awake to earnest prayer; Their solemn vows again renew, 3 Thy Spirit then will speak, 4 Now lend thy gracious ear, Oh! come, and bring salvation near;-- 446. L. M. Weeping over Sinners. 1 ARISE, my tenderest thoughts! arise Dissolve in grief, my streaming eyes! And thou, my heart! with anguish feel Those evils which thou canst not heal. 2 See human nature sunk in shame; See scandal poured on Jesus' name; The Father wounded, through the Son, The world abused,--the soul undone ! 3 See the short course of vain delight, Closing in everlasting night, In flames that no abatement know, Though bitter tears for ever flow! 4 My God! I feel the mournful scene, And yearn with grief o'er dying men, While fain my pity would reclaim Souls that may perish in the flame. 5 But feeble my compassion proves, And can but weep, where most it loves; Thine own all-saving arm employ, And turn these drops of grief to joy. 147. H. M. The Jubilee proclaimed. 1 BLOW ye the trumpet!-blow,— The gladly solemn sound! Let all the nations know, To earth's remotest bound, The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners! home. 2 Exalt the Lamb of God,-- Through all the world proclaim: Return, ye ransomed sinners! home. 3 Ye slaves of sin and hell! Your liberty receive: 4 The gospel-trumpet hear, The news of pard'ning grace: Ye mourning souls! be glad : Retu.n, ye ransomed sinners! home. 448. L. M. Hope in Times of Darkness. 1 WHILE I to grief my soul gave way 3 "Take down thy long-neglected harp, But spring shall all its wastes repair." 4 Lord! I obey,-my hopes revive; Come, join with me, ye saints! and sing: Our foes in vain against us strive, For God will help and triumph bring. |
