5 Stand up, and bless the Lord; Stand up, and bless his glorious name, C. M. 22. BRYANT. Invoking Compassion. 1 O GOD! whose dread and dazzling brow Love never yet forsook, On those who seek thy presence now, 2 For many a frail and erring heart And feet too willing to depart 3 Yet, pleased the humble prayer to hear, And kind to all that live, Thou, when thou seest the contrite tear, Art ready to forgive. 4 Lord, aid us with thy heavenly grace In mercy view our erring race, 1 WELCOME, delightful morn! Sweet day of sacred rest, I hail thy kind return; HAYWARD Lord, make these moments blest; From the low train Of mortal toys, I soar to reach Immortal joys. 2 Now may the King descend, And fill his throne of grace; Thy sceptre, Lord, extend, While saints address thy face; Let sinners feel And learn to know Thy quickening word, And fear the Lord. 3 Descend, celestial Dove! With all thy quickening powers; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless these sacred hours: 1 IF, in a temple made with hands, 2 If, in the ailments of the soul, 3 If there be still a sacrifice, 4 If, in the dread of death's dark hour, 5 Where God would have the offering made, There be the willing tribute paid, Till to his name I consecrate The worship of an endless state. 8 & 7s.

For a Blessing on the House of Prayer. 1 O, BOW thine ear, Eternal One! 2 Here let thy holy days be kept; 3 Here may thine honor dwell; and here, 4 Here be thy praise devoutly sung; 5 And when the lips, that with thy name 7s.
