Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone, Creator and Ruler o'er all; And we are His people-His sceptre we own; His sheep, and we follow His call. 3. Oh! enter his gates with thanksgiving and song, Your vows in His temple proclaim; His praise in melodious accordance prolong, 4. For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good, MONTGOMERY 1. How precious is the book divine, 2. O'er all the strait and narrow way 3. It sweetly cheers our fainting hearts 4. This lamp through all the dreary night RIPPON'S COLL. 76. C. M. 1. LAMP of our feet! whereby we trace 2. Bread of our souls! whereon we feed ; Our guide, our chart! wherein we read 3. Pillar of fire, through watches dark! When waves would whelm our tossing bark, 4. Childhood's preceptor! manhood's trust! Old age's firm ally! Our hope, when we go down to dust, 77. C. M. BARTON. 1. LADEN with guilt, and full of fears, 2. The volume of my Father's grace 3. This is the field where hidden lies WATTS. ORION. L. M. J. ZUNDEL. 1. The heavens declare thy glory, Lord! In every star thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold thy 9 days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 78. L. M. 3. Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race It touched and glanced on every land. 4. Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations bless'd That see the light, or feel the sun. 5. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise; Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy Gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right. 6. Thy noblest wonders here we view In souls renewed, and sins forgiven; Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make Thy word my guide to heaven. 1. THE starry firmament on high, 2. The hopes that holy word supplies, 4. But fixed for everlasting years, Unmoved amid the wreck of spheres, 2. A sacred spring, at Thy command, 3. The limpid stream, with sudden force, 4. Close by its banks, in order fair, 5. Flow, wondrous stream, with glory crowned, DODDRIDGE. 82. L. M. Peculiar. * 1. SINCE first Thy word awaked my heart 2. Naught else I feel, or hear, or see, 3. Like him whose fetters dropped away 4. And shall the soul Thou bid'st be free 83. L. M. MOORE. 1. NATURE hath seasons of repose; Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky; And many a bright-faced stream that flows Onward forever noiselessly. 2. The stormy winds are hushed to rest, 3. The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the gloomy grave? 4. Oh! for the coming of the end, The last long Sabbath-day of time When peace from heaven shall descend Like heaven's own light, on every clime. 5. When men in ships far off at sea 6. Mankind shall be one brotherhood; • Sung to Pilesgrove by slurring all the notes in measures (8) and (16). |
