2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity,

Open fault, and secret sin.

3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;

Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with thee:

4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;

252

Then, from thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.

"Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe."

PROV. XXIX. 25.

GLORY to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light:
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Under thine own Almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have done:
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Triumphing rise at the last day.

4 O may my soul on thee repose,

And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close:
Sleep, that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.

5 O when shall I, in endless day,
Forever chase dark sleep away,
And hymns divine with angels sing,
Glory to thee, eternal King?

"Awake! awake! put on thy strength, O Zion." ISAIAH lii. 1.

TRIUMPHANT Sion, lift thy head

From dust, and darkness, and the dead:
Though humbled long, awake at length,
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength.
2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known;
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.

3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

4 God from on high has heard thy prayer,
His hand thy ruin shall repair:

Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.

DISC

ISOWNED of heaven, by man oppressed, Outcast from Sion's hallowed ground, Wherefore should Israel's sons, once blessed, Still roam the scorning world around?

2 Lord, visit thy forsaken race,

Back to thy fold the wanderers bring, Teach them to seek thy slighted grace, And hail in Christ their promised King. 3 The veil of darkness rend in twain, Which hides their Shiloh's glorious light; The severed olive branch again

Firm to its parent stock unite.

4 Hail, glorious day, expected long!
When Jew and Greek one prayer shall
With eager feet one temple throng,
With grateful praise one God adore.

"The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord."

ISAIAH xi. 9.

THE morning light is breaking,

The darkness disappears;

The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears:

Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.

2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,

And seek the Saviour's blessing,-
A nation in a day.

3 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thy onward way
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim-the Lord is come.

"He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." Ps. lxxii. 8.

HAIL

TAIL 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.

2 He comes with succour 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 For 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.

"He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? And the watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night." ISAIAH xxi. 11, 12.

WATCHMAN, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.

"Traveller, o'er yon mountain's height,
See that glory beaming star!"
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell?
"Traveller, yes: it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel."

2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
"Traveller, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends."
Watchman, will its beams alone

Gild the spot that gave them birth? "Traveller, ages are its own;

See! it bursts o'er all the earth."

3 Watchman, tell us of the night,

For the morning seems to dawn. "Traveller, darkness takes its flight, Doubt and terror are withdrawn." Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. "Traveller, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God is come."
