THE PRAYER MEETING.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE SERVICE.

L. M.

1 COMING from various joy or care,
From toil, and duties of the day,
With a glad heart we now repair,
Unto thy house, O Lord, to pray.

2 O come to us, thou gracious Lord,
Come by thy Spirit, in thy power;
Refresh and strengthen by thy word,
And bless and sanctify this hour.

3 Teach us how full of hope and peace,
How safe the life that rests on thee;
Revive our faith, our joy increase,
Our refuge and our solace be.

4 O help our waiting hearts to risc,
All worldly hindrances above;

And thankfully to realize

Christ's precious and eternal love!

Tune-"Rousseau."

1 LORD, I hear of showers of blessing
Thou art scattering, full and free;
Showers, the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some droppings fall on me-
Even me.

2 Pass me not, O God our Father!
Sinful though my heart may be ;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy light on me-

Even me. 3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour! Let me live and cling to thee; Fain I'm longing for thy favour: Whilst thou'rt calling, call for meEven me.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!

Thou canst make the blind to see;

Witnesser of Jesus' merit,

Speak the word of power to me-
Even me.

5 Love of God-so pure and changeless;
Blood of Christ-so rich and free;
Grace of God-so strong and boundless,
Magnify it all in me!-

Even me.

6 Pass me not-thy lost one bringing; Bind my heart, O Lord, to thee; Whilst the streams of life are springing Blessing others, oh bless me !

Even me.
