AMEN.

The eternal God is thy dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Deut. xxxiii: 27.

I O everlasting Light!

Giver of dawn and day,
Dispeller of the ancient night

In which creation lay:

2 O everlasting Health!

Flow through life's inmost springs;

The heart's best bliss, the soul's best wealth,—
What life Thy presence brings!

2 When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above;

When the prodigal looks back

To his Father's love;

When the proud man from his pride
Stoops to seek Thy face;

When the burdened brings his guilt
To Thy throne of grace:

Hear then, in love, O Lord, the cry,
In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

3 When the stranger asks a home,
All his toils to end;
When the hungry craveth food,
And the poor a friend;
When the sailor on the wave
Bows the humble knee;
When the soldier on the field

Lifts his heart to Thee:

Hear then, in love, O Lord, the cry,
In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

4 When the man of toil and care,
In the city crowd;

When the shepherd on the moor
Names the Name of God;
When the learned and the high,
Tired of earthly fame,

Upon higher joys intent,

Name the blessed Name;

Hear then, in love, O Lord, the cry
In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

5 When the child, with guileless lip,
Youth, or maiden fair;

When the aged, weak and gray,
Seek Thy face in prayer;

When Thy waiting, longing church,
Looking for a home,

Sendeth up her silent sigh,

Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Hear then, in love, O Lord, the cry,

In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

33 Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy

judgments. Ps. cxix: 108.

I Eternal Source of life and light,

Supremely good and wise,

: To Thee we bring our grateful vows;:||
Accept our sacrifice.

2 Our dark and erring minds illume

With truth's celestial rays:

: Inspire our hearts with heavenly love,
And tune our lips to praise.

3 Conduct us safely, by Thy truth,

Through life's perplexing road;

: And bring us, when our journey's o'er, :||
Lord, to Thine own abode.

4 For in Thy presence e'er abounds

Fulness of purest joy;

: At Thy right hand unceasing flow :||

Pleasures without alloy.

Dox. IV.
