Thanks are hereby tendered to the proprietors of " Hymns Ancient and Modern," for their kind permission to print the words of several hymns ; also to the Kev. F. G. Ellerton for No. 1766 ; to Messrs.

For all things well Thou doest. In time of need refusest none, But helpest e'en the lowest. In deep distress Thou still dost bless, In wrath rememb'rest mercy.

And let them praise His holy Name in their dances : with timbrel and harp united, sing His praises. Like as a father bendeth In pity o'er his infant race, So God the Lord befriendeth The meek and lowly heirs of grace. That we are frail He knowelh, Like sheep we go astray : Like grass the reaper moweth, We fall and fade away. Like wind that ever flieth, We are but passing breath ; Thus man each moment dieth. For life must yield to death. {Sung at the same time as the above.) Almighty God ! preserve us still, Teach us to heed Thy sovereign will ; In all we do protect us. Be Thou our shield by da}' and night, Make Hope our staff, and Faith our light ; In all our ways protect us.

Holy Dove ; Spirit bow ; Descend from heaven and help us now.

The Lord is good ; fresh acts of grace His pity still supplies : His anger moves with slowest pace, His willing mercy flies.

The longing of the poor and meek His goodness will supply : He will revive their fainting hopes, Who on His strength rely. Whate'er our various wants require. With open hand He gives, And so fulfils the just desire Of ev'ry thing that lives. Therefore will we the righteous ways Of Providence proclaim : Will sing the praise of God Most High, And celebrate His Name. By angels in heav'n of every degree.

If we of our misdeeds repent, God offended will relent. Holy and gracious God ! Holy and mighty God ! Merciful and most holy Saviour ! O hear us, good Lord. In death's bitter anguish, let our cry for help be heard ! Hear us, Lord, in mercy, hear. When the pains of death alarm, Grave and Hell impending, Whose can be the mighty arm, us from woe defending ? Thine, great Redeemer, only ! Thy streams of mercy most abound where the greatest sins are found. Holy and gracious God ! Holy and mighty God ! Merciful and most holy Saviour ! O hear us, good Lord. When Satan assails us, save us by 'Ihy mighty word ! Save us. Lord, in mercy, save ! Sin hath drawn us far from Thee ; plunged in desolation. Where for shelter can we flee, where is our salvation ? In Thee, Lord Jesus, only! When Thou for sin wast crucified, cleansing blood ran from Thy Side. Holy and gracious God ! Holy and mighty God ! Merciful and most hol}^ Saviour! O hear us, good Lord. Increase us in faith, and grant us endless life with Thee. Save us, Lord, in mercy, save ! Mendelssohn. 777 Psalm xxii. i. My God, my God, why, O why hast Thou forsaken Me ? Why art Thou far from helping Me while I cry ? 2. My God, I cry to Thee by day, but yet Thou hearest not, and at night do I take no rest. 3. But Thou, Lord, art holy, Thou Who dwellest in the praises of Israel. 4. For our fathers trusted in Thee, and as they trusted, Thou didst deliver them. AiXTHEMi}. 2*>7 5. And ihey cried to Thee, and were delivered ; tlicv tiusted in Thee, and were rioi confounded. 6. But I am a worm, and no man, the scorn ol men, and of the people despised. 7. 8. All they that see Me laui;li and scorn Me ; shoot out their lip, and they shake their head : He trusted in the Lord, that He would send help, and deliver Him, and delight in Him. 14. I am poured out like the water, and My bones they are also all out of joint ; My heart is within M\- Body melted like unto wax, 15. Now M}' strength is dried up, even like a potsherd, and to My jaws My tongue it cleaveth ; Me Thou hast laid in the dust of death. 16. For dogs have compassed My dv>elling, and assem- blies of the wicked Me have enclosed. 17. My hands and My feet they have pierced with anger. 18. They part My garments among them, and for My vesture they cast lots. 19. Be not far from Me, O Lord God : O My strength, hasten Thee to help Me. 20. Deliver Thou My soul from the sword, and My darling from the dog's power. 21. Save Me from the mouth of the lion, from the horns of the unicorn Thou hast heard Me. 22. I will declare Thy Name to My brethren, and in the congregation will I praise Thee. 23. O praise the Lord, all ye that fear Him, and honour Him, all the seed of Jacob ; fear Him, all ye that are of the seed of Israel. 24. For He hath not despised nor abhorred the poor in affliction, neither hath He hid His face from him, but when to Him he cried. He heard his voice. 25. Thee will I praise, Lord, in the great congregation, I will pay all my vows in the sight of them that fear Him. 26. The meek shall eat, and shall be satisfied, and they %vith their hearts shall praise the Lord that seek Him, and your heart shall live for ever. 27,28. The ends of the world shall remember, and shall turn to the Lord their Maker : all the kindreds of the people shall worship before Him, for the earth is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations.

For aloud my sayings shall be sounding, I will tell you dark and mighty words, from of old, from the byegone ages, of the wonders that were wrought by His arm. He heard the groanings and cries of the children of Israel ; He broke the chain of their bondage, and He brought them home for His people. Hear, O my flock Israel, words from the Lord ! Hear Thou, O Israel ! §2 The Departure i-rom Egypt. The Lord, the Omnipotent, hath in l'2gypt, in the field of Zoan, shewn unto His people His mighty power. He clave in twain the sea, and through the deep He led them, yea, He led them, and as a wall He gathered the waters. He led them on in the day-time with a cloud\' pillar, and all night through with a light of fire ; from out the stony 326 ANTHEMS. rock gushed forth at His command full-flowing rivers ; manna dropped like the rain at His word, God's heavenly bread was food unto all. Like as a flock He hath gently led His people by Moses' and Aaron's hand. §3 The Captivity in Babylon. But then His flock forsook the commandments of God, they scorned the Holy One of Israel, forgat the wonders and the works He had wrought. God the Omnipotent cries unto the earth ; from morn- ing until evening He is calling, if we perchance may hearken. Wasting fire before Him is going, mighty thunder and tempest. God the Lord judgeth His people. As chaff will I scatter them that forsake Me, yea, like as chaff to the winds of the desert. Hearken ! I bid My servant smite them, the King out of Babylon ; with the breath of My anger I desolate the land! So He made them to fall by the heathen, and their mighty foemen bowed them down. §4 The Return Yet merciful and tender is the Lord, forgiving, and full of goodness; His anger doth not ever burn; He pardons sin, and forgets wickedness, and puts far away displeasure. He doth lead gently His flock Israel, and bring them to their native land. Merciful and tender is the Lord, forgiving, and full of goodness. There shall come a Redeemer, a Saviour, to Zion, for the sons of Jacob, if, turning and repenting, they will seek from the Lord mercy. Bethlehem Ephratah, Thou art not the least of the towns of Judah, for out of thee shall rise a Ruler of Israel ; and His reign is everlasting; from eternity are His goings forth ! Arise and shine, O Zion ! Thy light comes, and the glorj of the Lord surrounds thee. ANTHEMS. 327 Lift up thy head, and behold how they gather themselves together; from all countries come thy sons assembling, and at thy side thy daughters shall be nursed and be sheltered; the cedars of Lebanon come unto thee to adorn thy sacred temple. Thou shalt call thy sheltering walls Salvation ; of thy gates shall the name be Praise to Cion ! Never shall thy sun be setting, and never thy moon withdraw herself, for the Lord is thy Light everlasting. Gade. 1041 All ye who weep, O come unto Me, I will comfort }ou. All ye who suffer, O come to Me, I will console you. All ye who mourn, O come to Me, I am your peace. All ye who die, O come to Me For life eternal. Gounod. 1042 BY BABYLON'S WAVE. Psalm cxxxvii. (Paraphrase). Here by Babylon's wave Though heathen hands have bound us, Though afar from our land, The pains of death surround us ; Sion ! thy memory still In our heart we are keeping, And still we turn to thee. Our eyes all sad with weeping. Through our harps that we hung on the trees.. Goes the low wind wearily moaning: Mingles the sad note of the breeze, With voice as sad of sigh and groaning. 328 ANTHEMS. When mad with wine our foe rejoices, When unto their altars they throng, Loud for mirth then they call—" A song ! A song of Sion sing, lift up your voices ! " O Lord, though the victor command Our captivity sad and lowly, How shall we raise Thy song so holy, That we sung in our father's land ? Jerusalem, if we forget thee, Let our hands remember not their power, And our tongues be silent from that hour, Jerusalem, if we forget thee. Woe unto thee, Babylon, mighty city, For the day of thy fall is nigh ! For thee no hope, for thee no pity, Though loud thy wail riseth on high ! Then shalt thou, desolate, forsaken, Be torn from thy fanes and thy thrones ; In that day shall thy babes be taken And dashed against the stones. Then unto thee, O Babylon the mighty, Be woe ! Be woe ! Be woe ! Gounod. 1043 Come unto Him, all ye who labour, Your Lord will give you rest and peace. Comfort for all your sorrows : ye weary, He will give you rest for your souls. O turn from the pleasures of sin, And behold your Lord on His Cross, Who dies for the sins of the world. He will receive you. He will refresh you. He will give rest to your souls. Behold, on His Cross our Redeemer, Nailed there by our transgressions, Calls all men to Himself; He pleads His Blood, He shews His streaming wounds. As He makes intercession ; He cries, *' Come ye to Me, and I will save your soul ! " Gounod. i AN Tin: MS. 32'J 1044 "BETHLEHEM." Cradled all lowly behold the Saviour Child, A Beinj^ Holy, in dwelling rude and wild. Ne'er yet was regal state Of monarch proud and great, Who grasped a nation's fate, So glorious as the manger-bed of Bethlehem. No longer sorrow as without hope, oh earth ! A brighter morrow dawned with that Infant's birth. Our sins were great and sore. But these the Saviour bore. And God was wrath no more : His own Son was the Child that lay in Bethlehem. Babe weak and wailing, in lowly village stall Thy glory veiling, Thou cam'st to die for all. The sacrifice is done, The world's atonement won, Till time its course hath run. O Jesu, Saviour, Morning Star of Bethlehem ! Hallelujah. Amen. Gounod. 1045 Hail, gladdening Light, of His pure glory poured. Who is the Immortal Father, Heavenly, Blest, Holiest of Holies, Jesu Christ, our Lord. Now we are come to the sun's hour of rest. The lights of evening round us shine. We hymn the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Divine. Worthiest art Thou at all times to be sung With undefiled tongue, Son of our God, Giver of life, alone : Therefore in all the world Thy glories, Lord, they own. Amen.

Come, let us kneel, in sorrow and contrition, before the Cross which His pure Blood doth lave. Come, rich and poor, offer Him all your hearts. Who gave Himself the world to sive. Just as the sea by stormy winds is driven, whose angry waves do hoarsely rage and roar; the people with mad- ness to the slaughter are crowding, and shouting, " To death ! To death ! Crucify Him !" Striving to save Him, Pilate has vainly laboured : His cruel foes thirst for their Victim's Blood. Behold, they crown with thorns His sacred Head, beat Him with scourges, and then smite Him on His cheek. Come, let us kneel in sorrow and contrition, before the Cross which His pure Blood doth lave.

That we might go at last to Heaven, Saved by His precious Blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin ; He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven, and let us in. O dearly, dearly has He loved. And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming Blood, And try His works to do. Gounod, Somerset. 1531 St. Luke ii. 15.

So is the Kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground ; 27. And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28.

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. Revelation xiv. 15, 16. Thrust in thy sickle, and reap : for the time is come for thee to reap ; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And the earth was reaped. xxii. 14.

M02ART. APPENDIX. /ill 1598 In cDnstant order works the Lord: His several wonders all, by rule, and in their time, Appear, when called by His eternal power. Can things create urge onward their Creator? When He commands, can they delay Him ? In constant order works the Lord. The morn awakes, the noonday glows, the light declines ; then follows resttul evening. The winter yields, the spring returns, the autumn comes, the fruitage swells and ripens. The maiden blooms, a spring is hers, her bloom decays; tiansformed is life thereafter. Can things create urge onward their Creator ? At daybreak assemble the menacing clouds To master the sun as he rises ; The buds shrivel up with the chill of the rime; The maiden of roughness and strength is afraid: yet stands His appointment. The day has its course, the rime dissolves, and love prevails. When He commandeth, who can stay Him ? In constant order works the Lord. The gloominess of night will hang on the soul and hide the light of God : Distress will weigh on tender spirits and weaken pious trust in God ; So terror will seize on a people, and break their growing manhood down. The pure and good, the true and just, with evil must to battle go ; yet shall in battle conquer and endure. Then let me learn to trust Thee. On Thee in faith to wait, To fear not, and to sin not, How sore soe'er my strait. Not now, and not to-morrow, But when it pleases Thee, O Father, comes salvation To all men, yea, to me. 51^ ANTHEMS. All praise to God, Whose wondrous power His children guides in danger's hour, Whose work, though men to mar it strive, In ageless glory shall survive.

Still in its buoyant pride it stands, And tempts the busy reaper's hands : Soon as the loaded waggon heaves. Rocked by the weight of fruitful sheaves, Sing we the Harvest Home. From field to field the work goes on, ! I From morn to eve we strive and toil, Nor pause nor rest till we have won, And gathered all the golden spoil. For surely 'tis the noblest prize The toil of man to man supplies : Then, while the loaded waggon heaves, Rocked by the weight of fruitful sheaves, Sing we the Harvest Home. And now our task is nearly o'er. The last rich sheaf is made secure. Once more we pile the gathered store And make the year's great labour sure ; And they that glean may freely go And gather up the overflow. Shout while the loaded waggon heaves, Sing to the sway of fruitful sheaves, Sing to the Harvest Home. J. L. Hopkins. 1604 Psalm cvi. i.

Behold and see if there be any sorrow like unto My sorrow which is done unto Me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted Me in the day of His iierce anger. From the Throne of His Cross, the King of grief Cries out to the world of unbelief : Oh ! men and women afar and nigh, Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? I laid My eternal power aside, I came from the Home of the Glorified, A Babe, in a lowly cave to lie; Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? I wept for the sorrows and pains of men, I healed them, and helped them, and loved them — but then They shouted against Me — Crucify ! Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? Behold Me and see : pierced thro' and thro' With countless sorrows — and all is for you ; For you I suffer, for you I die. Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? Oh ! men and women, your deeds of shame. Your sins without reason and number and name ; I bear them all on the Cross on high ; Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? Is it nothing to you that I bow My Head ? And nothing to you that My Blood is shed ? O perishing souls to you I cry, Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? O come unto Me — by the woes I have borne, By the dreadful scourge, and the crown of thorn, By these, I implore you to hear My cry, Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? O come unto Me — this awful price. Redemption's tremendous sacrifice — Is paid for you — Oh ! why vv^ill ye die ? Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? {From " The Crucifixion," Nos. 17, 18.)

O Lord of Heaven and earth, Who givest joy and mirth. Open our lips to show Thy wondrous praise : Our hearts are dull and cold, We leave Thy love untold, O give us strength our anthems glad to raise. Each month we sow or reap, Each hour we toil or sleep, Thou givest life and joy, and Thou alone : O grant to each and all. When death's dark shadows fall, To stand true workers round our Master's Throne. So life's long task-work o'er. Set free for evermore. We shall sit down at Thy great Harvest Feast ; Reaper and sower met. The burning heat forget, And taste God's love, the greatest as the least. 564 ANTHEMS.

And the quiet that fell on that wondrous hour. From all others was strangely parted. And Hope that for years had been robbed of her power Was the Hope of the weary-hearted. How dreary the ages of strife passed away. Since the word of His coming was spoken ! Still, still the deep darkness that reigns ere the day And quietness almost unbroken. Through darkness and silence. Peace hasted to earth. Where sheep on the hills lay a-sleeping. And the angels declared the wonderful birth, The end of her sorrow and weeping. Then suddenly came to this angel most bright, A host of the heavenly chorus. And a glory broke forth more dazzling to sight Than the sun which at noonday burns o'er us ; The silence was over, the hope long deferred, The waiting for Christ and His glory, When the angels sang out, and the listeners heard The tidings they brought in their story.

Oh, whither wandering Bear they that tree ? He who first carries it — Who is He ? II. The Answer. Follow to Calvary — Tread where He trod — He Who for ever was Son of God. You who would love Him stand, Gaze at His Face ; Tarry awhile on your Earthly race. As the swift moments tly Through the Blest Week Read the great story the Cross will speak. Is there no beauty to You who pass by In that lone Figure which Marks that sky ? 568 ANTHEMS. III. The Story of thb Cross.

No pillow under Thee To rest Thy Read- only the splintered Cross Is Thy bed. Nails pierce Thy Hands and Feet, ^ Thy Side the spear ; No voice is nigh to say Help is near. Shadows of midnight fall Though it is day — Thy friends and kinsfolk stand Far away. Loud is Thy bitter cry ; Sunk on Thy Breast Hangeth Thy bleeding Head Without rest. Loud scoffs the dying thief Who mocks at Thee — Can it, my Saviour, be All fur me ? Gazing afar from Thee, Silent and lone, Stand those few weepers, Thou Callest Thine own, I see Thy title, Lord, Inscribed above — " Jesus of Nazareth," King of Love ! What, Oh my Saviour ! Here didst Thou see, Which made Thee suffer and Die for me ? APPESniX. 6tiV IV. Thh Appral from thf. Cross. Child of My grief and pain — Watched by My love — I come to call thee to Realms above.

Weep not for My grief, Child of My love — Strive to be with Me in Heaven above. V. Our Cry to Jesus. Oh, I will follow Thee, Star of my soul, Thro' the deep shades of life To the goal. Yes, let Thy Cross be borne Each day b}- me — Mind not how heavy, if But with Thee. Lord, if Thou onl}- wilt Make us Thine own. Give no companion, save Thee alone.

One the gate, whereby salvation Enter'd in for every nation ; And one the herald, sent to tell That Christ had ris'n, and vanquish'd hell. G. J. Bennett.
