Thy favour and goodness towards me; and that I am verily a member in the mystical body of Thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and am also an heir through hope of Thy Everlasting Kingdom, by the Precious Death and Passion of Thy Dear SON.

I most humbly beseech Thee, O Heavenly FATHER, so to assist me with Thy grace, that I may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as Thou hast prepared for me to walk in; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD; to Whom with Thee and the HOLY GHOST, be all honour and glory, world without end. AMEN.

A MORNING HYMN.

OPEN thine eyes my soul and see,
Once more the light returns to Thee;
Look round about, and choose the way,
Thou mean'st to travel o'er to-day.

Think on the dangers thou may'st meet
And always watch thy sliding feet;
Think where thou once hast fall'n before,
And mark the place, and fall no more.

my dear LORD, guide Thou my course, And draw me on with Thy sweet force; Still make me walk, still make me tend, By Thee my Way, to Thee my End.-Hickes,

AN EVENING HYMN.

SUN of my soul! Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near:
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live:
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take:

Till in the ocean of Thy love

We lose ourselves in Heaven above.-Keble.

JESU! the very thought of Thee,
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy Face to see,
And in Thy Presence rest.

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find,

A sweeter sound than Thy Blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!

O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

But what to those who find? ah! this
Nor tongue nor pen can shew:

The love of JESUS, what it is,
None but His lov'd ones know.

JESU! our only Joy be Thou,

As Thou our Prize wilt be; JESU! be Thou our Glory now,

And through Eternity.-Ancient Hymn.

O How canst thou, my soul forget
That thy whole life is one long debt
Of love to Him that on the tree

Paid back the Flesh He took for thee?

This Tree of Life wilt thou despise ?
Or not to It lift up thine eyes:

Whose fruit shall heal thy deadly wound:
Quicken, restore, and make thee sound.

Lo, how the streams of Precious BLOOD
Flow from Five Wounds into one flood!
With these He washes all thy stains:
And buys thy loss with His own pains.

Live, O for ever live and reign

Blest LAMB, Whom Thine own love has slain! And may Thy lost sheep live to be

True lovers of Thy Cross and Thee-.Hickes.
