 Does try the precious ore ; 
 Thou brought'st us into straits, where we 
 
 Oppressing burdens bore. 
 
 Insulting foes did us, their slaves, 
 
 Through fire and water chase ; 
 But yet at last thou brought'st us forth. 
 
 Into a wealthy place.

 Without one cheerful beam of hope.

 Beheld our helpless grief;

 With joyful haste he fled, 
 Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,

 A silent lamb to slaughter led, 
 
 The bruis'd, the suffering, and the dead. 
 
 3 The Lord will come ! a dreadful form. 
 With wreath of flame, and robe of storm ; 
 On cherub-wings, and wings of wind. 
 Anointed Judge of human kind. 
 
 4 Can this be He, who wont to stray 
 A pilgrim on the world's highway ; 
 
 By power oppress'd and mock'd by pride ? 
 Oh, God ! is this the crucified ?

 " Rocks, hide us ; mountains, on iis fall !'*

 Hark ! from the gospel's cheering sound 
 What joyful tidings spread !

 Fly to the shelter of his cross. 
 And find salvation there.

 And the last awful day shall pour 
 His blessings on your head.

 Do thou their anxious souls enlarge ; 
 
 Their best acquirements are our gain, 
 We share the blessings they obtain.

 To them thy sacred truth reveal, 
 Suppress their fear, injflame their zeal.

 Teach them thy chosen flock to feed ; 
 Teach them immortal souls to gain. 
 Souls that will reward their pain*

 Hear from their lips the joyful sound ; 
 In humble strains thy grace implore, 
 And feel thy new-creating power.

 Distressed souls forget their pains ; 
 
 Let light through distant realms be spread.

 Proclaim'd thy love and taught thy ways, 
 Brighten'd Isaiah's vivid page. 
 
 And breath'd in David's hallow'd lays. 
 
 4 Is not thy grace as mighty now 
 As when Elijah felt its power, 
 When glory beam'd from Moses' brow. 
 Or Job endur'd the trying hour ?

 Renew thy work, thy grace restore ; 
 Warm our cold hearts to prayer and praise. 
 And teach us how to love thee more.

 And take th' alarm they give ; 
 Now let them, from the mouth of God, 
 Their awful charge receive. 
 
 2 'Tis not a cause of small import

 It occupies the Saviour's heart ;

 Did heav'nly bliss forego ; — 
 For souls, which must f^r '^ver live.

 MORNING. 
 
 1 NOW the shades of night are gone ; 
 Now the morning light is come ; 
 Lord, may we be thiue to-day ; 
 Drive the shades of sin away. 
 
 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light, 
 Banish doubt and clear our sight ; 
 In thy sei-vice, Lord, to-day. 
 
 May we labour, watch, and pray. 
 
 3 Keep our haughty passions bound ; 
 Save us from our foes around ; 
 Going out and coming in, 
 
 Keep us safe from every sin. 
 
 4 When our work of life is past, 
 receive us then at last ; 
 Night and sin will be no more, 
 When we reach the heavenly shore.

 1 ARISE my soul ! with rapture rise ! 
 
 And, fiU'd with love and fear, adore 
 The awful Sovereign of the skies, 
 Whose mercy lends me one day more. 
 
 2 And may this day, indulgent Power, 
 
 Not idly pass, nor fruitless be ; 
 But may each swiftly-flying hour 
 Still nearer bring my soul to thee ! 
 
 3 But can it be ? that Power divine 
 
 Is throned in light's unbounded blaze ; 
 And countless worlds and angels join 
 To swell the glorious song of praise :

 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 
 Rise glorious at the judgment-day. 
 
 4 O let my soul on thee repose, 
 
 And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close ; 
 Sleep, that shall me more vig'rous make, 
 To serve my God, when I awake. 
 
 5 When in the night I sleepless lie. 
 
 My soul with heavenly thoughts supply ; 
 Let no ill dreams disturb my rest. 
 No powers of darkness me molest. 
 
 6 O when shall I, in endless day. 
 Forever chase dark sleep away. 
 And hymns divine with angels sing 
 Glory to thee, eternal King !

 The bliss of thy paternal care : 
 
 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above. 
 To see thy face and sing thy love. 
 Praise God, &c.

 Fades upon my sight away ; 
 Free from care, from labour free, 
 Lord, I would <5ommune with thee ! 
 
 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye 
 
 Nought escapes, without, within, 
 Pardon each infirmity, 
 Open fault, and secret sin. 
 
 3 Soon, for me, the light of day 
 Shall for ever 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, 
 Then from thine eternal' throne, 
 Jesus, look with pitying eye.

 With humble gratitude I raise : 
 let thy mercy tune my tongue 
 And fill my heart with lively praise. 
 
 2 My days unclouded as they pass, 
 
 And every onward rolling hour. 
 Are monuments of wondrous grace, 
 And witness to thy love and power. 
 
 3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, 
 
 Too oft regardless of thy love, 
 Ungrateful, can from thee depart. 
 And from the path of duty rove. 
 
 4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood 
 
 Of Christ, my Lord ; his name alone 
 I plead for pardon, gracious God, 
 And kind acceptance at thy throne. 
 
 5 With hope in him mine eyelids close ; 
 
 With sleep refresh my feeble frame ; 
 Safe in thy care may I repose. 
 And wake with praises to thy name.

 Ihe morning light salutes mine eyes, 
 U bun of righteouness divine, 
 On me with beams of mercy shine ; 
 Chase the dark clouds of sin away,' 
 And turn my darkness into day.

 My morning sacrifice I bring •

 3 As every day thy mercy spares 
 Will bring its trials and its cares, 
 Saviour, till my life shall end 
 Be thou my counsellor and friend ; 
 Teach me thy precepts all divine, 
 And be thy pure example mine. 
 
 4 When pain tranfixes every part ; 
 Or languor settles at the heart ; 
 When on my bed, diseas'd, oppress'd, 
 
 I turn and sigh, and long for rest, 
 
 great Physician, see my grief. 
 And grant thy servant sweet relief. 
 
 6 Should poverty's destructive blow 
 Lay all my worldly comforts low ; 
 And neither help nor hope appear, 
 My steps to guide, my heart to cheer,— 
 Lord, pity and supply my need. 
 For thou, on earth, wast poor indeed. 
 
 6 Should Providence profusely pour 
 Its varied blessings in my store j 
 keep me from the ills that wait 
 On such a seeming prosp'rous state ; 
 From hurtful passions set me free. 
 And humbly may I walk with thee. 
 
 7 When each day's scenes and labours close. 
 And wearied nature seeks repose, 
 
 With pard'ning mercy richly bless'd 
 Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest; 
 And, as each morning's sun shall rise, 
 O lead me onward to the skies. 
 
 8 And, at my life's last setting sun. 
 My conflicts o'er, my labours done, ' 
 Jesus, thy heavenly radiance shed, * 
 To cheer and bless my dying bed ; 
 And from death's gloom my spirit raise, 
 To see thy face and sing thy praise.

 Zion wonders at the sight, 
 Zion feels a strange delight.

 God will raise lieB glory high ; 
 He will send a large increase, 
 He will give his people peace.

 Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine ?

 Vainly with gold would his favour secure ;

 Lo ! the sacred Ilerahl stands : 
 Welcome news to Zion bearing, 
 
 Zion long in hostile lands. 
 IMourning captive ! 
 God himself will loose thy bands. 
 
 2 Has thy night been long and mournful ! 
 
 All thy friends unfaithful prov'd? 
 Have thy foes been proud and scornful 
 
 By thy sighs and tears unmov'd ? 
 Cease thy mourning : 
 Zion still is well belov'd ! 
 
 3 God, thy God will now restore thee I 
 
 He himself appears thy friend ! 
 All tl;y foes shall flee before thee : 
 
 Here their boasts and triumphs end. 
 Great deliv'rance 
 Zion's King vouchsafes to send. 
 
 4 Enemies no more shall trouble : 
 
 All thy conflicts now are past : 
 For thy shame thou shalt have double j 
 
 Days of peace are come at last : 
 All thy warfare 
 Ends in everlasting rest.

 And, weeping, think on Jordan's flood : 
 In every clime behold a home ;

 No strangers mock thy captive chain : 
 Thy friends provoke the silent lyre, 
 And brethren ask the holy strain!

 The motion of a hidden fire.

 All the vain things that charm me most,

 I saw my sins his blood had spilt. 
 And help'd to nait him there.

 Where shall my trembling soul be hid ?

 Let every trembling thought be gone ; 
 Awake, and run the heavenly race," 
 And jiut a cheerlul courage on. 
 
 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, 
 
 And mortal spirits tire and faint ; 
 But they forget the mighty God, 
 
 Who feeds the strength of every saint. 
 
 3 The mighty God, whose niatcliless power. 
 
 Is ever new, and ever young ; 
 Shall firm endure while i'ndless years 
 Their everlasting circles run. 
 
 4 From thee, the overflowing sprinir, 
 
 Our souls shall drink a iiill siiifply ; 
 
 While such as trust their native stnuiirth. 
 
 Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 
 
 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the uir, 
 
 We'll mount aloft to thine abode; 
 On wings of love our souls shall lly, 
 Nor tire amidst the heaven Iv road.

 1 ALTHOUGH the vino its fruit deny. 
 The budding tig-tree droop and die, 
 
 No oil the olive yield ; 
 Yet will I trust nic in my God, 
 Yea, bend rejoicing to his rod, 
 
 And by his grace be heal'd. 
 
 2 Though fields in verdure once array'd. 
 By whirlwinds desolate be laid. 
 
 Or parch'd by scorching beam ; 
 Still in the Lord shall be niy trust. 
 My joy; for, though his frown is just, 
 
 His mercy is supreme. 
 
 3 Though from the fold the flock decay. 
 Though herds lie famish'd o'er the lea. 
 
 And round the empty stall ; 
 ]\[y soul above the wreck shall rise. 
 Its better joys are in the skies ; 
 
 There God is all in all. 
 
 4 In God my strength, howe'er distrest, 
 I yet will hope, and calndy rest. 
 
 Nay, triumph in his love ; 
 My ling'ring soul, my tardy feet. 
 Free as the hind he makes and fleet. 
 
 To speed my course above.

 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sendd

 As fast as time can move ? 
 Nor wonld we wish the hours more slow 
 To keep us from our love.

 llieir bodies to the tomb ? 
 There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, 
 And leil aJong perfume. 
 
 4 The graves of all his saints he bless'd, 
 
 And soften'd every bed ; 
 Where should the during members rest, 
 But with their dymg Head ?

 And show'd our feet the way : 
 Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly 
 At the great rising day.

 And bid our kindred rise ; 
 Awake, ye nations under ground.

 Of youth's soft cheek decay, 
 And fate descend in sudden night

 Halt feebly to the tomb ; 
 And yet shall earth our hearts engage, 
 And dreams of days to come ?

 Where'er thy foot can tread, 
 The earth rings hollow from below. 
 And warns thee of her dead !

 To truths divinely given : 
 The forms which underneath thee lie, 
 Shall live, for hell or heaven !

 Speaks the departure of a soul ; 
 Let each one ask himself, " Am I

 Preserves me from the jaws of death ; 
 Soon as it fails at once I'm gone. 
 And plung'd into a world unknown.

 To God's tribunal I must go ; 
 
 Must hear the judge pronounce my fate. 
 And fix my everlasting state. 
 
 4 Lord Jesus ! help me now to flee. 
 And seek my hope alone in thee ; 
 Apply thy blood, thy spirit give, 
 Subdue my sins, and in me live.

 If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear ; 
 Nor would the thought distressing be, 
 Perhaps it next may toll for me. -

 1 THERE is a land of pure debght, 
 
 Where saints immortal reign, 
 Eternal day excludes the night, 
 And pleasures banish pain.

 And never-withering flowers j 
 Death like a narrow sea divides 
 This heavenly land from ours. 
 
 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, 
 
 Stand dresjB'd in living green ; 
 
 So to the Jews fair Canaan stood, 
 
 While Jordan roll'd between. 
 
 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink, 
 
 To cross this narrow sea ; 
 And linger trembling, on the brink, 
 And fear to launch away.

 Those gloomy doubts that rise, 
 And see the Canaan that we love, 
 With unbeclouded eyes !

 Not Jordan's streams, nor death's cold flood 
 fehould fright us from the shore.

 Far from my home on life's rough way, 
 
 teach me from my heart to say — 
 
 « Thy will be done."

 What most I prize, — it ne'er was mine ;

 'thy will be done!"

 Tin friend more dear than life to me, 
 Ere Jong we both shall be with thee 
 " Thy will be done • 
 
 4 Should pining sickness waste away 
 My life in premature decay, 
 
 My father, still I strive to say— 
 " Thy will be done ! " 
 
 5 If but my fainting heart be blest 
 With thy sweet spirit for its guest. 
 My God, to thee I leave the rest,— 
 
 " Thy will be done ! " 
 
 6 Renew my will from day to day ; 
 Blend it with thine, and take away 
 All that now makes it hard to say — 
 
 " Thy will be done!" 
 
 7 Then, when on earth I breathe no more 
 The prayer, oft mix'd with tears before 
 I'll sing' upon a happier shore, — 
 
 "Thy will be done!"

 Now seated in glory, the mariner cherish,

 SEEKING PEACE. 
 
 1 I ASKED the Sea, when musing o'er 
 Its silent depths and boundless shore, 
 If on its waves I could not find 
 Some lasting comfort to my mind. 
 
 2 Or if with all its hidden store. 
 Of jewels, pearls and golden ore, 
 I could not purchase from above 
 That feace for which I vainly rove. 
 
 3 The ocean heard my useless cry. 
 And lifted up his hands on high. 
 Not on my waves can peace be found 
 Nor through my caverns traversed round. 
 
 4 I rise and fall at his command, 
 Who holds me in his powerful hand ; 
 O never wilt thou comfort feel. 
 Until his word says, " Peace, he stilL''^

 3 When sunk in guilt, our souls drew nigh 
 
 The borders of despair, 
 Grace interpos'd ; thy blood proclaim'd 
 A free salvation near. 
 
 4 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, 
 
 For all the grace we see ? 
 Alas ! the goodness worms can yield, 
 Extendeth not to thee. 
 
 6 To tents of woe, to beds of pain. 
 Our cheerful feet repair; 
 And with the gifts thy hand bestows, 
 Relieve the mourners there. 
 
 6 The widow's heart shall sing for joy, 
 The orphan shall be glad ; 
 The hung'ring soul, we'll gladly point 
 To Christ the living bread.

 LOVE TO OUR NEIGHBOUR. 
 
 1 BLEST is the man whose soft'ning heart 
 
 Feels all another's pain ; 
 To whom the supplicating eye 
 Is never rais'd in vain : 
 
 2 Whose breast responds with gen'rous warmth, 
 
 A stranger's woe to feel ; 
 Who weeps in pity o'er the wound 
 He wants the power to heal. 
 
 3 To gentle offices of love 
 
 His feet are never slow ; 
 He views, through mercy's melting eye, 
 A brother in a foe.

 Long and loud for vengeance call, 
 Thou hast mercy more abounding,
