COMMENCING HYMN.

And I would go with cheerful feet
To learn thy will, O Lord.

3 I'll leave my sport to read and pray;
And so prepare for heaven:
O may I love this blessed day
The best of all the seven.

1 O LORD, another week is flown,
And we, a youthful band,

Are met once more before thy throne,
To bless thy fostering hand.

2 And wilt thou lend a listening ear
To praises low as ours?

Thou wilt! for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.

3 And, Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt deign,
As in thy name we pray;
For thou didst bless the infant train,
And we are weak as they.

1 GOD is so good that he will hear
Whenever children humbly pray;
He always lends a gracious ear
To what the youngest child may say.

2 His own most holy book declares,
That, as a tender father will,
He listens to our lowly prayers,

And what we ask will grant us still.

3 He loves to hear a grateful tongue
Thank him for all his mercies given;
And when on earth his praise is sung,
The cheerful notes are heard in heaven.

1 SUPPLIANT, lo! thy children bend,
Father, for thy blessing now;
Thou canst teach us, guide, defend,—
We are weak, Almighty thou.

2 With the peace thy word imparts,
Be the taught and teacher blest;
In their lives, and on their hearts,
Father, be thy laws imprest.

3 Pour into each longing mind
Light and knowledge from above;
Charity for all mankind,—

Trusting faith, enduring love.

4 Here, in joy's triumphant day,
Still may grateful hearts arise,
Bright with rapture's kindling ray,
Purely, fondly to the skies.

5 Here, in sorrow's chastening hour,
May thy word its light diffuse;
Fresh'ning as the vernal shower,
Peaceful as the silent dews.

6 Grant us spirits lowly, pure,
Errors pardon'd, sins forgiven,
Humble trust, obedience sure,
Love to man, and faith in heaven.

Commencing Hymn.
Rockingham.

1 WHEN to the house of God we go,
To hear his word, and sing his love;
We ought to worship him below,
As saints and angels do above.

2 They stand before his presence now,
And praise him better far than we,
Who only at his footstool bow,

And love him, though we cannot see.

3 But God is present every where,

L. M.

And watches all our thoughts and ways;
He sees who humbly join in pray'r,
And who sincerely sing his praise.

4 The triflers too his eye can see,
Who only seem to take a part;
They move the lip, and bend the knee,
But do not seek him with the heart.

5 O may we never trifle so,

18.

Nor lose the days our God hath given,
But learn, by sabbaths here below,
To spend eternity in heaven.

Sabbath Morning.
Boylston.

1 THE night is past and gone,
The Sabbath sun I see;
Now may I rise to feel thy grace
Again renewed to me.

2 I humbly bow in prayer,

A suppliant at thy throne;

THE SABBATH.

Forgiveness seek for follies past,
And all thy goodness own.

30 condescend to hear

While I attempt to pray;

And guard me safe from harm and sin
Through all this Sabbath day.

4 Let not my heart forget

Thy kindness and thy love,
Who gavest for us thy Son to die,
That we might live above.

5 O let thy word of grace

My heart and mind employ;
And in the Sabbath school this day
May I its light enjoy.

The Sabbath.

1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest; The day of the week which I surely love best; The morning my Saviour arose from the tomb, And took from the grave all its terror and gloom.

2 O let me be thoughtful and prayerful to-day, And not spend a moment in trifling or play; Remembering these seasons were graciously given

To teach me to pray, and prepare me for heaven. 3 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear,

When I worship to-day, may it all be sincere; In the school when I learn, may I do it with

care,

And be grateful to those who watch over me there.

4 Instruct me, my Saviour;-a child though I be, I am not too young to be noticed by thee; Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways:I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.

The Sabbath.

Stennett.

1 ANOTHER Six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun:

Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day that God hath blest.

2 Come, thank the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Draws us away from earth to heaven,
And gives this day the food of seven.

3. O may our prayers and praises rise
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose,
Which none but he who feels it knows.

4 In holy duties may the day,

21.

In holy pleasures pass away;

How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

Sunday Evening.

Hebron.

1 WE'VE passed another Sabbath day,
And heard of Jesus and of heaven;
We thank thee, Father, and we pray
That all our sins may be forgiven.

2 May all we've heard and understood

L. M.

Be well remembered through the week,
