3 Our fathers' God! to thee,
Author of liberty!
To thee we sing ;

Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!

AFELY through another week
God has brought us on our way,

Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to day, -
Day of all the week the best:
Emblem of eternal rest.

2 While we seek supplies of grace
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciled face,

Take away our sin and shame ;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

3 As we meet, thy name to praise,
Let us feel thy presence near;
May thy glory meet our eyes
While we in thy house appear:
There afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May the gospel's joyful sound

Conquer sinners, comfort saints,
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief from all complaints:
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above.

Music," Home, sweet home."

INE is the greatest blessing
That can to earth belong,

A home where love is reigning.
Be this my happy song

Home! home! sweet, sweet home! O Holy Spirit, make me

A happy child at home.

2 But if my home be dreary,
Be this ambition mine
Within that poor dark dwelling
A star of peace to shine.

Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
O Holy Spirit, make me

A happy child at home.

3 What are earth's homes, the fairest,
But shadows faint and dim

Of that bright home which Jesus
Secures to us with Him?

Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
O Holy Spirit, give us

Glad thoughts of going home;

4 That when at last the shadows
Of death around us cling,
We may look up rejoicing,
And still more gladly sing-

Home! home! sweet, sweet home!

Heavenly Father, take us,
Thy happy children home.

ET the merry church-bells ring,
Hence with tears and sighing;
Frost and cold are fled with Spring,
Life hath conquered dying;
Flowers are smiling, fields are gay,
Sunny is the weather;

With our rising Lord to-day,
All things rise together.

Let the merry church-bells ring,
Ring, ring, ring!

Let the merry church-bells ring,
Ring, ring, ring!

2 Let the thought of grief be past;
This our comfort giveth,
He was slain on Friday last,
But to-day He liveth ;

Mourning heart must needs be gay,

Nor let sorrow vex it;

Since the very grave can say,

Christus resurrexit.

CHORUS. - Let the merry, etc.

ALVATION! O, the joyful sound,
Glad tidings to our ears;

A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

Be unto the Lamb forever!

At hell's dark door we lay;

The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

To Thee the praise belongs;
Our hearts shall kindle at thy name,
Thy name inspire our songs!

Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 90.

ARK, the song of Jubilee,

Loud as mighty thunder's roar,

Or the fullness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore:
Hallelujah! for the Lord

God Omnipotent shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the centre to the skies
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banners furled ;

Sheathed His sword; He speaks, 'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.

3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;

He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away ;

Then the end; beneath his rod
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.
