A Collection of Hymns

4 In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away:

How sweet the Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of that which ne'er shall end:

HYMN 696. 68s.

The Goodness of God acknowledged.
AR as creation's bounds extend,

One chorus of perpetual praise,

descend;

To Thee thy various works shall raise;
Thy saints to Thee in hymns impart
The transports of a grateful heart.

2 They chant the splendours of thy name,
Delighted with the wond'rous theme;
And bid the world's wide realms admire,
The glories of the' almighty Sire,

Whose throne all nature's wreck survives,
Whose power through endless ages lives.
3 From thee, great God, while every eye
Expectant waits the wish'd supply,
Their bread proportion'd to the day
Thy opening hands to each convey;
In every sorrow of the heart,
Eternal mercy bears a part.

4 Who ask thine aid with neart sincere,
Shall find thy succours ever near;
To Thee their prayer in each distress,
Thy suffering servants, Lord, address,
And prove thee, verging on the grave,
Nor slow to hear, nor weak to save.
HYMN 697. L. M.

The Condescension of God.
TERNAL depth of love divine,

E In Jesus, God with us, display'd;

How bright thy beaming glories shine!
How wide thy healing streams are spread!

2 With whom dost thou delight to ȧwell?
Sinners, a vile and thankless race;
O God, what tongue aright can tell
How vast thy love, how great thy grace!
3 The dictates of thy sovereign will
With joy our grateful hearts receive:
All thy delight in us fulfil;

Lo! all we are to thee we give.
4 To thy sure love, thy tender care,
Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign;
O fix thy sacred presence there,

And seal the' abode for ever thine.
50 King of glory, thy rich grace
Our feeble thought surpasses far;
Yea, even our crimes, though numberless,
Less numerous than thy mercies are.
6 Still, Lord, thy saving health display,
And arm our souls with heavenly zeal;
So fearless shall we urge our way

Through all the powers of earth and hell.
