JAMES STREET. 1851. .i ;\ HYMNS AND PRAYERS. MORNING HYMN. 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun, Thy daily stage of duty run ; Shake off dull sloth and earlj rise, To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Redeem thy mis-spent moments past, And live this day, as if thy last ; Improve thy talents, take due care, For the great day thyself prepare. 3 Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the-noon Then let nic love my Ijibic more, And take a fresh delight, By day to road these wonders o'er And meditate by night. PRAISE FOR GOD'S PROVIDENCE ^ ?«t^ff °"' ^u: 7^^ ^""««» praise. Let all assembled sound. li^ K*""^ '!u°'''*" °"'' fl««t'n^ days, And bnngs the seasona round; 2 To thee shall daily incense rise. WK ,^!,'*'f *"^ °"' Friend ; While daily mercies from the skies. In genial streams descend. 3 In every scene of hfe, thy care. m every age, we see And constant as Thy favors are, feo let our praises be. 4 Thy tender love, in every scene. 1 o every age display And let the same compassion deign 1 o bless the present day. "EVERY GOOD GIFT." ' m"*™ '^°*'* °"' bounteous God, We every good receive ; Thou giv'st us clothing, friends, and food, And by thy grace we live. 2 Thy pitying eye beheld How we in darkness lay. From thee this institution came, That we might read and pray. f 1 7^ 3 O may thy spirit blc£8 This learning to our good ! And may our teachers ever find The favour of their God. 4 Ma/* wc and they, at laat, At thy right hand appear ; And when tho toil» of life are past, All meet in glory there. FOR DIVINE DIRECTION. 1 For daily study met once more, Now heavenly wisdom's aid implore. Forget your pleasing sports and play, And try to spend aright the day. 2 And whilst in school obedient be, Be sober minded, wise, and see That to improve thou dost take care, For life, for death, for heaven prepare. 3 Oh, Lord ! direct, suggest this iay, Whate'er we do, whatever we say; May wc in wisdom's ways improve, And fitted be for life above. AGAINST ENVY. 1 By envious Cain we're taught How murder may begin ; And how one angry jealous thought May lead to greater sin. 3 Cain once perhaps might start At what he soon would be ; But they, who trust an evil heart, May prove ae vile as he. li O, for a holy fear Of every evil way, That wo may never venture near The path that leads aitray ! \ Wherever it begrina, It ends in death and woe ; And he who suhen little sina, A Binner'8 doom shall know. AGAINST IDLENESS. 1 Idle boys and girls arc found Standings on the devil's ground ; He will find them work to do. And will pay their wages too, 2 Are they not of wisdom void, Those who saunter unemployed ; Young or old, who fondly play Their important time away 1 3 Sloth is the accursed root. Whence ten thousand evils shoot ; Every vice, and every sin May with idleness begin. IDLENESS AND SLOTH. 1 See the shameful sluggard, see. Sinking into poverty ; * Clothed in dirty rags, and mean, Never in hie person clean. ■i He that toils not for his bread, Ought not to be clothed or fed ; • II deserves reproach and sham f^, And a eliiggard'd hntcd name. 9 3 Base and ignorant, his mind Ne'er to goodnesf is inclined ; Lets the golden moment fly, Nor prepare, to live or die. Idleness to foulest deeds Oft the young transgressor leads; Till detected in his ways, And cut off amidst his days. ON ATTENTION AT SCHOOL. 1 Dear children ! have you ever thought That you will come to school in vain, Unless you think of what you're taught. And try insfuction to obtain. 2 The meaning must be undtrstood Of every lesson that you say ; Else it will do you little ^ood. Although repeated every day. 3 Read all your words distinct and alow, That you may think of what they moan ; And pay attention as you go, To make the proper slops b.tween. 4 Allow no idle thought or looks ; Let no disturbing sound be heard ; But when you read instructing books. Be sure you mind them every word. LEAVING SCHOOL. 1 For a season called to part, Let us now ourselves commend, To the gracious eye and heart Of our ever-present friend. 10 2 Jtsue, hear our humble prayer, Tcntlrr Shepherd of thy phccp , Let thy mercy and thy care All rur Bouls in safetj keep. 3 What we each have now been taught, Let our memories retain ; May we, if we live, be brought Here to meet in peace again. 4 Then, if thou instruction bless. Songs of praises shall be given j We'll ourthankfulness express. Here on earth, and when in heaven. MONDAY. 1 Aeecniblcd in our School once more, O Lord, thy blessing we implore ; Assist us whilst we sing and pray, D'rect our studies through the day. 2 Our fci vent prayer to Thee ascends, For parents, teachers, foes and fricndis Bless all our labours, make us wise, To havt. thy fear before our eyes. 3 When we on earth shall meet no more, May we ubovc to glory soar ; There prnipc ihcc in more lofty strain?, Where ([rlorioue day eternal reigns II MONDAY. « 1 God's presence shincth evciywhtie, By night as well as day, To guard us by his coustanl care, And guide us on our way, 2 Although wc are but poor and weak, Children of sin and dust; Yet we can still our^Father seek, And in him put our trust. And we are strong in hinn to dare All that is good and right ; His will to do, his love to share, Dear children in his siaht ! l 4 Then, let us off.r daily praise. For mercies daily given ; And joyful songs of gladness raise, In gratitude to hfeaven. ^\ k WEDNESDAY. God bless our native land. May Heaven's protecting hand Still guard our shore May peace her power extend, Foe be transform'd to friend, And Britain's rights depend On war no morp. 12 i^ May jUbt and righttous laws [Ipliold the public cause, And blcBS our li-.le ! Home ol the brave and free, The land of liberty— Wc pray IhatstilJ on thee, Kind Heaven nnay suiile. And not this land alone, But be thy mercies known From shore to shore ! Lord, make the nations see That men should brothers bo, And form one family, The wide world o'er, God save our gracious Queen, Long live our gracioup Queen, God save the Queen ! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen I ^ WORK AND PLAY. 1 WonK while you work, Play while you play, That is the way To be cheerful and pay \i <) All that you do Do with your might ; Things dune hy halves Aro novn tlono rijjht 13 3 One thing each time, And that done well, Is a very good rule, As many can tell. 4 Moments are uselees Trifled away ; So work while you work, And play while you play. THURSDAY. 1 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'nj lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumber'd blessings on my head Thy tender care bestow'd, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those blessings flow'd, 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ ; Nor is the least a grateful heart, To taste those gifts with joy. i Tlirnngh every period of my life Thy goodness Ml pursue ; And, after death, in distant worlds, Tho trloriuus theme renew. u DULCE DOMUM. Sing a sweet meludiuus measure, Waft cnehanting lays around ; Home's a theme replete with pleasure, Home ! a grateful theme resound. Home ! sweet hom« ! an ample treasure, Home ! with every blessing crown'd. Home ! perpetual source of pleasure, Home ! a noble strain resound. 4 Lo I the joyful hour advani ^s, Happy season of delight ! Festal songs, and festal dances, All our tedious toil requite. Home ! sweet home ! &c. Leave, my wearied muse, thy learning, Leave Ihy task, so hard to bear ; Leave thy labor, ease returning. Leave my bosom, O my care ' Ilouic ! sweet home ! &c. 4 Sec the year, the meadow, smiling. Let us then a smile display ; Rural spoits, our pain beguiling, Rural pastimes call away. Home ! sweet home ! &;c. 5 Now the swallow seeks her dwelling. And no longer loves to roam ; Her example thus impelling. Let us seek our native home; Home ! sweet home I i&c. 15 G 4^ i Li t bolh men and steeds assemble, Panting for Iho wide campaign, fiCt the ground beneath us tremble While we scour along the plain. Home ! sweet home ! &.c. Oh, what rapture ! oh, -what blcases 1 When we gain the lovely gate ! Mother's arms, and mother's kisses, There our blest arrival wait. Home ! sweet home I &c. I OLD ENGLAND. Old England for ever ! No power shall sever My heart from the land of my birth. 'Tis the land of the brave, Which none shall enslave ; 'Tis the happiest land upon earth ; 'Tis the happiest land upon earth ; 'Tis the land of the free ; So it ever shall be, Which no earthly power can binJ , Ere Britons bo slaves, She shall sink in the waves, And leave not a vestige behind. If the African stand Cut once on her strand, That moment his freedom he gains ; A captive no more, lie leaps on her shore, And breaks from himslavciy's chains ; And brcnkf fmm him slavery's chains ; 16 Dear land of my birih ! lirighteat spot upon earthi From thee my heart never shall roam ; But gladly 1*11 prize. The blessings that rise, From England, my country, my home. THE LORD'S PRAYER. 1 Father of all ! we bow to thee Who dweWtt in Heaven adored ; But present still, through all thy works, The universal Lord. 2 For ever hallowed be thy name By all beneath the skies ; And may thy kingdom still advance. Till grace to glory rise. 3 A grateful homage may we yield. With hearts resign'd to thee ; AnJ, as in heaven thy will is done. On earth so let it be. 4 From day to day, oh, may we own. The. hand Ihsii feeds us still ; Give vs our bread, and may we rest Cont«:nlcd with thy will. 5 Our sins, oh, teach us to confess. And may they b& forgiven; To others let us mercy shcWf And b«^g the same from fleavcn. 17 ii Slili lel thy grace our life direct, From evil gua^ our way ; And in temptation't fatal path, Permit U8 not to stray. . 7 The kingdom, poiD^rt and glory, tiW Alone belong to thee ; Thine from eternity they were, And thine shall ever be. TRY AGAIN. 1 'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try again ; If at first you don't succeed, Try again; Then your courage should appear, For if you will persevere, You will conquer, never fear, Try again. 2 Once or twice, though you should fail, Try again ; If you would at last prevail, Try again ; If we strive, 'tis no disgrace Though we do not win the race ; What should we do iii that case ? Try again. 3 If you find your task is hard, Try again ; Time will bring you your reward, Try again ; 18 All that other fulk ca.: do. Why, with patience* may not you 1 Only keep this rule in view. Try again. AUTUMN SONG. t The Bummer's departed so gentle a:id brief, i^d autumn has come with its sere yellow leaf; Its breath's in the valley, its voice in the breeze, A many-hued robe is spread over the trees. 2 In red and in purple the leaves seem to bloom. But winter, cold winter, has spoken their doom ; And while they are seeming with rubies to vie, They tell us that beauty blooms only to die. 3 While sad as the whispers of sorrow its breath. And mournful its hues as the garment of death, Tho' faded the flower, and leafless the tree, Yet autumn, with ripe fruit, is welcome to me. CHILDREN OF JERUSALEM. Children of Jerusalem, Sang the praise of Jesu's name ; Children, too, of modern days, Join to sing the Saviour's praise. Hark ! hark ! hark ! while youthful voices sing, Hark ! hark ! hark ! while youthful voices sing, Loud hosannas, loud hosannas, Loud hosannas to our king. 19 2 We have uften hoard and read, What the royal Psalmist said, ♦• Babe^' and suckiingt' artless layg. Shall proclaim the Saviour's praise.' Hark ! hark, &,c. 3 We are taught to love the Lord, We are taught to read his word. We are taught the way to heaven, Praise for all to God be given. Hark ! hark, &c. 4 Parents, teachers, old and young, All unite to swell the song ; Higher and yet higher rise. Till bosannas reach the skies ! Hark ! hark, &c. •f GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, God save our gracions Queen, Long live our gracious Queen, God save the Queen ! Send her victorious ; Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen I , The choicest gifts in store. On her be pleased to pour, Long may she reign ! May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing, with heart and voice Gud save the Queen ! 20 li Gud bless our native land, May Heaven's protecting hard SliU guard our «bore ! May peace our power extend, Foe be transform'd to friend, And Britain's rights depend On war no more ! 4 May just and righteous laws Uphold the public cause. And bless our Isle ! Home of the brave and free ThelandofHbertv,— We pray that still on the Kmd Heav'n may smile ! 5 And not this land alone. But be thy mercies known From shore to shore ! Lord, make the nations seo That men should brothers be, And form one family The wide world o'er. SATURDAY. 1 Lord, let the nnercies of the week, Excite a grateful frame ; Nor let our tongues refuse to speak The praises of thy name. 2 Forgive our follies, gracious Lord, And quicken all our powers ; Prepare us to attend thy Word, And hail sweet Sabbath's hour«. 21 PKAYEIW. ALMiGjii Y iioD Who haat safely brought us tu the begnioing of this day ! defend us in the same by thy mighty power, and grant that we fall into no sin. neither run into any kind of danger ; but that all our doings nnay be ordered by thy governanc., to do always that which is righteous in thy sight We beg thy blessing upon our present under- takings. Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doipgs With thy most gracious favour, and further us with ihy continual help, that in these and alloui works begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy name, and finally, by thy mercy obtain everlasting life. ' We humbly acknowledge, O Lord, our errors and misdeeds; that we are unable to help our- selves, and unworthy of thy assistance; but we beseech thee, through thy great goodness, to par- don our offences, to enlighten our understand- ings, to strengthen our memories, to sanctify our hearts, and to guide our lives. Help us, we pray thee, to learn and to practice those things which are good ; that we may become serious Christians, and useful in this world; to the glory of thy great name, and our present and future well, being. Bless and do/ond, we beseech thee, from all 'heir encmicp, our most gracious Soycreijrn, Qurpr; 22 Vjclona, and all the Royal Family. Let tf.y blessing be also bestowed upon all those in auiho- ritj under Her Majesty ; as also upon all our friends and benefactors, particularly the teachers in this school. These prayers, both for them and ourselves, we humbly offer up in the name of thy Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer j concluding in his perfect form of words : Otfr Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy Dame : thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread ; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ; for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. I i \
