FRIEDRICH SCHNEIDER.

Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sa-cred

2 Now may the King descend, And fill His throne of grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend,

While saints address Thy face:
Let sinners feel Thy quickening word,
And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3 Descend, celestial Dove

With all Thy quickening powers;
Disclose a Saviour's love,

And bless the sacred hours:
Then shall my soul new life obtain,
Nor Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain.
Hayward.

1 Hail, to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free:
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

Tune: Webb., No. 277.

2 He comes with succor speedy

To those who suffer wrong:
To help the poor and needy,

And bid the weak be strong.
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall descend like showers

Upon the fruitful earth,
And love and joy, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth:

[ocr errors]

4 To him shall prayer unceasing,
And daily vows ascend.
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never

His covenant remove:
His name shall stand forever:
That name to us is Love.
James Montgomery.

1 Now to Thy sacred house,
With joy I turn my feet,
Where saints, with morning-vows,
In full assembly meet:

Thy power divine shall there be shown, And from Thy throne Thy mercy shine. 2 O send Thy light abroad;

Thy truth with heavenly ray
Shall lead my soul to God,

And guide my doubtful way;
I'll hear Thy word with faith sincere,
And learn to fear and praise the Lord.

3 Now in Thy holy hill,

Before Thine altar, Lord! My harp add song shall sound The glories of Thy word: Henceforth, to Thee, O God of grace! A hymn of praise my life shall be. Timothy Dwight.

1. Sun of my soul! Thou Sav-iour dear, It is not night if Thou be near:

O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. A-MEN.

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought-how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast!

3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;

Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

4 If some poor wandering child of Thine,
Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin,
