3 And I shall share a glorious part,
When grace hath well refin'd my heart,
When doubts and fears no more remain,
To break my inward peace again.

4 Then shall I see, and hear, and know,
All I desir'd or wish'd below;

1

And ev'ry pow'r find sweet employ
In the eternal world of joy.

HYMN 376. C. M.

THe calls the hours his own.
HIS is the day the Lord hath made;

Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
2 To-day arose our glorious head,
And death's dread empire fell,
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all its wonders tell.

3 Hosannah! the anointed King
Ascends his destin'd throne:

To God your grateful homage bring,
And his Messiah own.

4 Blest be the Lord, who came to men
With messages of grace;
Who came in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.

5 Hosannah in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise !

The highest heav'ns, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.

HYMN 377. S. M.

'Α

GAIN the Lord of light
Awakes the kindling ray:

Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.

2 O what a night was that

Which wrapt mankind in gloom!
O what a sun, which broke this day
Triumphant from the tomb!

3 This day be homage paid,
And loud hosannahs sung;
Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart,
And praise on ev'ry tongue.

4 Ten thousand lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn,

Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn.

HYMN 378. C. M.

HALL, happy morn! whose early ray

Beheld the Saviour rise.

Welcome again, auspicious day!
To our reviving eyes.

2 On this blest morn, birth-day of hope!
Let not one soul be sad.

This is the day the Lord hath made,
And bids his saints be glad.

3 Come, and the wonders of the day
In notes harmonious sing;
Tell to the world the conquests gain'd
By your victorious King.

4 O happy souls, that feel the pow'r
Of his attractive love!

With him they die, with him they live,
And seek the things above.

Close of the Service.

ORD, dismiss us with thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace!
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us,

Trav'lling through this wilderness.

2 Thanks we give and adoration
For thy gospel's joyful sound.
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound!
May thy presence

HYMN 380. P. M. 7s.

HANKS for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew;

Teach us henceforth how to live,

With eternity in view.

2 Bless thy word to old and young;
Grant us, Lord! thy peace and love;
And, when life's short course is run,
Take us to thy house above.

HYMN 381. L. M.

The Christian Farewell.

THY presence, everlasting God!

T

Wide through all nature spreads abroad:

Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep,
In ev'ry place thy children keep.

2 While near each other we remain,
Thou dost our lives and pow'rs sustain:

When sep'rate, we rejoice to share
Thy counsels and thy gracious care.
3 To thee we now commit our ways,
And still implore thy heav'nly grace
Still cause thy face on us to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.
4 Give us, in thy beloved house,
Again to pay our grateful vows;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne.

Our eyes delighted trace,

Thy love in long succession shown
To ev'ry virtuous race.
