Bid me walk before thy face,
Till I am pure in heart:
Till transform'd by faith divine,
I gain that perfect love unknown,
Bright in all thine image shine,
By putting on thy Son.

4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
In council join again,
To restore thine image, lost
By frail, apostate man;
O might I thy form express,

Through faith begotten from above,
Stampt with real holiness,

And fill'd with perfect love!

Alfreton-p. 60.] HYMN 599. L. M.
THE voice that speaks Jehovah near,
The out small voice I long to hear;

O might it now my Lord proclaim,
And fill my soul with holy shame!
2 Asham'd I must for ever be,
Asham'd the God of love to see,
If saints and prophets hide their face,
And angels tremble while they gaze!

Pastoral Hymn-p. 114.] HYMN 600. 6 lines 8s

LAY to thy hand, O God of Grace!

O God the work is worthy thee;

See at thy feet, of all the race

The chief, the vilest sinner see;
And let me all thy mercy prove,
Thine utmost miracle of love.

2 Speak, and a holy thing and clean
Shali strangely be brought out of me;
My Ethiop soul shall change her skin,
Redeem'd from all iniquity;

I, even I, shall then proclaim

The wonders wrought by Jesus' name.
3 Thee I shall then for ever praise,
In spirit and in truth adore:
While all I am declares thy grace,
And born of God, I sin no more:
Thy pure and heavenly nature share,
And fruit unto perfection bear.

ON THE DEATH OF A WIDOW.

Holstein-p. 171.] HYMN 601. 8 lines 8s.

GIVE glory to Jesus our Head,

With all that encompass his throne;

A widow, a widow indeed,

A mother in Israel is gone!
The winter of trouble is past;
The storms of affliction are o'er;
Her struggle is ended at last,

And sorrow and death are no more.
2 The soul has o'ertaken her mate,
And caught him again in the sky:
Advanc'd to her holy estate,

And pleasure that never shall die:
Where glorified spirits, by sight,
Converse in their happy abode;
As stars in the firmament bright,
And pure as the angels God.

3 Behold! what a triumph is there,
Where ali in his praises agree;
His beautiful character bear,

And shine with the glory they see!
The glory of God and the Lamb,
(While all in the ecstacy join,)
Darts into their spiritual frame,
And gives the enjoyment divine.

4 In loud hallelujahs they sing,
And harmony echoes his praise:
When, lo! the celestial King
Pours out the full light of his face;
The joy, neither angel nor saint
Can bear, so ineffably great;
But lo! the whole company faint,
And heaven is found-at his feet.

FOR THE MOHAMMEDANS.

Pastoral Hymn--p. 114.] HYMN 602. 6 lines 8s.
UN of unciouded Righteousness,
With healing in thy wings arise,

A sad benighted world to bless,
Which now in sin and error lies,
Wrapt in Egyptian night profound,
With chains of hellish darkness bound.
2 The smoke of the infernal cave,

Which half the Christian world o'erspread,
Disperse, thou heavenly Light, and save,
The souls by that Impostor led,
The Arab thief, as Satan bold,
Who quite destroy'd thy Asian fold.
3 O might the Blood of Sprinkling cry
For those who spurn the sprinkled blood;
Assert thy glorious Deity!

Stretch out thy arm, thou triune God; The Unitarian fiend expel,

And chase his doctrine back to hell.

4 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Thou Three in One, and One in Three, Resume thy own, for ages lost,

Finish the dire apostasy;

Thy universal claim maintain,
And Lord of the creation reign!

FOR THE HEATHENS.

Pastoral Hymn-p.i14.] HYMN 603. 6 lines 8s. ORD over all, if thou hast made,

Last ruusum'd every soul of man,

Why is the grace so long delay'd?
Why unfulfill'd the saving plan?
The bliss for Adam's race design'd,
When will it reach to all mankind?
2 Art thou the God of Jews alone,
And not the God of Gentiles too?
To Gentiles make thy goodness known;
Thy judgments to the nations show;
Awake them by the Gospel call;
Light of the world, illumine all!

3 The servile progeny of Ham
Seize as the purchase of thy blood;
Let all the heathen know thy name:
From idols to the living God
The dark Americans convert,
And shine in every Pagan heart!

4 As lightning launch'd from East to West,
The coming of thy kingdom be;
To thee, by angel hosts confest,
Bow every soul and every knee:

Thy glory let all flesh behold!
And then fill up thy heavenly fold.

Pastoral Hymn-p. 114.] HYMN 604. 6 lines 85.

COME, thou radiant Morning-Star,

Again in human darkness shine!

Arise resplendent from afar!

Assert thy royalty divine!

Thy sway o'er all the earth maintain,
And now begin thy glorious reign.

2 Thy kingdom, Lord, we long to see:
Thy sceptre o'er the nations shake.
To' erect that final monarchy,

Edom for thy possession take:
Take, (for thou didst their ransom find,)
The purchas'd souls of all mankind.

3 Now let thy chosen ones appear,
And valiantly the truth maintain !
Dispread thy gracious kingdom here;
Fly on the rebel sons of men:
Seize them with faith divinely bold
And force the world into thy fold!

DOXOLOGIES.

Wells-p. 56.] HYMN 605. L. M.
LORD, our God, we bless thee now!
To thee our souls and bodies bow:
With humblest awe fall down before
Thy throne, and joyfully adore.
God of our ancestors, we praise
The Father, Son, and Spirit of Grace!
One glorious God, in Persons Three!
Our God to all eternity.

Martin's Lane-p. 123.] HYMN 606. L. M.

RAISE God, from whom all blessings
flow,

Praise him, all creatures here below:
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
