Babnby^ 1 Uprais'd from sleep, to Thee we kneel, As day doth break ; To Thee, O Lord, aloud we sing, To Thee the song of angels bring ; For mercy's sake. Oh pity take, O Holy, Holy, Holy ! 2 Thou, Lord, hast from my couch of rest Uplifted me ; Oh, light my mind ; oh, light my heart, And ope my lips to take their part In praising Thee, Blest Trinity, O Holy, Holy, Holy I 3 The Judge will on a sudden come, To bring to light ♦ The deeds of each, that secret lie ; But unalarmed we still will cry Amid the fright. At dead of night, O Holy, Holy, Holy ! — 2- " Oextly, Lord, O gently lead us.'* J. Barnry. 1 Gently, Lord, O gently lead us, Pilgrims in this vale of tears. Through the trials yet decreed us, Till our last great change appears. 2 When temptation's darts assail us. When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us — Lead us in Thy perfect way. 3 In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish. Suffer not our souls to fear. 4'^And when mortal life is ended, Bid us in Thine arms to rest, Till, by angel bands attended, We awake among the blest. —3- '« Thou knowcst, Lord, the weariness and sorrow.''^ J. liAHNBY. 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest ; Cares of to-day, and burdens for to-morrow, mm Blessings imj)]or'd, and sins to be confessed ; We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, And lay them at Thy feet : Thou knowest, Lord, 2 Thou knowest all the past: how long and blindly On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed. How the good Shepherd followed, and how kindly He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid; And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain And brought back life and hope, and stn ngth again. ; Thou knowest all the present : each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear ; All to each one assigned of tribulation. Or to beloved ones, than self more dear ; All pensive memories, as we journey on. Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone. Thou knowest all the ^ ture; gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast ; Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last. Oh ! what could hope and confidence afford To trer.d that path ; but this, Thou knowest, Lordf Thou knowest, not alone as God, all- knowing; As Man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved: On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved : And love and sorrow still to Thee may come. And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 6 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet ; On everlasting strength our weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete : Then rising and refreshed, we leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as we are known. : -4- " Where the mourner weeping.** 1 Where the mourner weeping Sheds the secret tear, God His watch is keeping Tho' none else be near. 2 Jesus ne'er will leave thee. All thy wants He knows, Feels the pains that grieve thee, Sees thy hidden woes. 3 Raise thine eyes to heaven When thy spirits quail. When, by tempests driven. Heart and courage fail. 4 When in grief we languish. He will dry the tear, Who His children's anguish Soothes with succour near. 6 J. Barnby. '""^^ lliiill II II IK I 5 All our woe and sadness, In this world below, Balance not the gladness We in heaven shall know ; 6 When our gracious Saviour, In the realms above. Crowns us with His favour, Fills us with His love. *' Now God be xoith us, for the night is closing.'* J. Barnby. 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing, The light and darkness are of His disposing ; And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. -2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us ; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o'er us ; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us. Thine angels fend us. ,3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us: All sick and mourners we to Thee commend them. Do Thou befriend them. 7 4 We have no refuge ; none on earth to aid us But Thee, O Father, Who Thine own hath made us : Keep us in hfe ; forgive our sins ; deliver Us now and ever. 5 Praise be to Thee through Jesus our salvation God, Tnree in One, the Ruler of creation. High throned, o'er all Thine eye of mercy casting. Lord everlasting. — 6— ** Oh, valk with God.'* J. Baknby. [ Oh, walk with God, and thou shalt find How He can charm thy way, And lead thee with a quiet mind Into His perfect day. His love shall cheer thee, like the dew That bathes the drooping flow'r, That love is ev'ry morning new, Nor fails at ev'ning's hour. Oh, walk with God, and thou with smiles Shall tread the way of tears, His mercy every ill beguiles. And softens all our fears. No fire shall harm chee, if alas ! Through fires He hid thee go ; Through waters, when thy footsteps pass,. They shall not overflow. 8 3 Oh, walk with God, while thou on earth With pilgrim steps must fare, Content to leave the world its mirth, And claim no dwelling there. A stranger, thou must seek a home Beyond the fearful tide. And if to Canaan thou would'st come, Oh, who but God can guide ? 4 Oh, walk with God, a . thou shalt go Down death's dark vale in light. And find thy faithful walk below Hath reach'd to Zion's height I Oh, w^lk with God, if thou would'st see Thy pathv/ay thither tend : ^-^"d lingering though thy journey be, ''J'is heaven and home at end ! -o- —7— ** Come unto Me, ye weary.*' J. BARNBr. " Come unto Me, ye weary. And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts opprest ; It tells of benediction. Of pardon, grace and peace. Of joy that hath no ending, Of love that cannot cease. " Come unto me, ye wanderers, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night ; Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way ; But He has brought us gladness And songs at break of day. " Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life," O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife ; The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long ; But He has made us mighty, And stronger than the strong. " And whosoever cometh, I will not cast him out." O welcome voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt ; Which calls us very sinners. Unworthy though we be. Of love so free and boundless, To come, dear Lord, to Thee. -o- ~8— «♦ When shades of night." J. Barnky. I When shades of night around us close, And weary limbs in sleep repose, 4 (, The faithful soul awake may be, And longing, sigh, O Lord, to Thee. s \ ,1 2 Thou true Desire of nations hear ; Thou Word of God, Thou Saviour dear ; In pity heed our humble cries, And bid at length the fallen rise. 3 O come, Redeemer, come and free Thine own from guilt and misery ; The gates of heaven again unfold, Which Adam's sin had closed of old. 4 All praise. Eternal Son, to Thee, Whose advent doth Thy people free ; Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost for evermore. —10— ** Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord f " J. Bahnuy 1 Sweet is Thy mercy. Lord ! Before Thy mercy seat My soul, adoring, pleads Thy word, And owns Thy mercy sweet. 2 Where'er Thy Name is blest, Where'er Thy people meet, There I delight in Thee to rest And find Thy mercy sweet. TI 3 Light Thou my weary way, Lead Thou iny wand'ring feet, I'hat while I stay on earth I may Still find Thy mercy sweet. 4 Thus shall the heavenly host Hear all my songs repeat To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Thy joy, Thy mercy sweet 1 -11— ** Now the day is over.^' 1 Now the day is over Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening . Steal across the sky. 2 Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep, Birds, and beasts, and flowers Soon will be asleep. 3 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose. With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close. 4 Grant to little children Visions bright of I'hee, Guard the sailor tossing On the deep blue sea. 12 J. BAKNUr. li V 'J 'iUY. 5 Comfort every sufferer ^Vatching late in pain, Those who plan some evil From their sin restrain 6 Through the long night watches May Thine Angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. 7 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure and fresh and sinless In Thy Holy eyes. 8 Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run. -o- —12- " What arc these that are arranged in white robes f" llev. vil. 13-17. ' -,„ o DB. STAIWEr. What are these that are arrayed in white robes, and whence came they ? 'i'hese are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb • Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night, in His temple. '3 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more ; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, And shall lead them to living fountains of waters : and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. —13- •♦ Send out Thy light." Psalms zUii. and xx. Gounod. Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me, And let them bring me to Thy holy hill. O God, then will I go unto Thy altar. On the harp we will praise Thee, O Lord our God. (Send out Thy light, etc.) Why, O soul, art the sorrowful, and why cast down within me ? Still trust the loving kindness of the God of thy strength. And my tongue yet shall praise Him Who hath pleaded my cause. (Send out Thy light, etc.) Lord our God, Thou will save Thine anointed. Thou will hear us from heaven. Tho' in chariots some put their faith, our trust is in Thee. They are brought down and fallen. But the Lord is our helper, we shall not be afraid Send out Thy light, etc., O Lord our God. -o- —14— " The Lord is loving unto every man.** Psalms cxlv. 9-13. G. M. Gakrett. The Lord is loving unto every man, and His mercy is over all His works. 14 All Thy works praise Thee, O God, and Thy saints give thanks unto Thee. They show the glory of Thy kingdom, and talk of Thy power, That Thy power, Thy glory and the mightiness of Thy kingdom might be known unto men. 'I'hy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Thy law is the truth. The Lord is loving unto every man, and His mercy is over all His works. Amen. -o- 1 Kings vlil. 28. —15- " O Lord my God.^' Rev. C. Malan, D.D. O Lord my God, hear Thou the prayer Thy servant prayeth : have Thou respect unto his prayer. Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling place, and when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. -o- " Rend your hearts, and not your garments." -Joel xi. 13. J. baptisii Calkin. Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God ; For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth Him of the evil. IS nmnm -16- " Ilosanna in the Ifighest." Dr. STAINEIt St. Matt. xxi. 9; P.salms Ixili. 1-4, ivnd part of a IJymn. HosANNA in the higliest, Hosanna, Who is this that cometh from Edom ? Who is this with dyed garments from Bozrah ? This that is glorious in His apparel, travelHng iit the greatness of His strength.? I that speak in rightness, mighty to save. Wherefore art Thou red in Thine apparel, and Thy garments like him that treadeth the wine vat? I have trodden the wine press alone ; and of the people there was none with me : I will tread them in Mine anger, and trample them in My fury ; for the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is- come. CHORALE. And when as Judge Thou drawest nigh, The secrets of all hearts to try ; When sinners meet their awful doom, And saints attain their heav'nly home ; O let us not for evil past Be driven from Thy face at last ; But with the blessed evermore Behold and love Thee and adore. Amen. i6 -17- ** Jems, Word 0/ God Incarudte.'' Vn. GouxoD.

The land of the free-born ; There's no night in the homeland, But aye the fadeless morn. I'm sighing for the homeland, My heart is aching here ; There's no pain in the homeland^ To which I'm drawing near. • '7 ■-"ojfewtSS'fi^ My Lord is in the homeland, With angels bright and fair ; There's no sin in the homeland, And no temptation there. The music of the homeland Is rising in my ears, And when I think of the homeland, My eyes gush out with tears. For those I love in the homeland Are calling me away, To the rest and peace of the homeland. Arid the life beyond decay. For there's no death in the homeland, There's no sorrow above ; Christ, bring us all to the homeland Of His eternal love. —19- Adelaide E. Procter. I The way is long and dreary, The path is bleak and bare, Our feet are worn and weary, But we will not despair. More heary was Thy burthen, More desolate Thy way, Oh ! Lamb of God, Oh !
