ON OPENING SERVICE.

LL glory be to God on High,

ALL

Who hath our race befriended!

To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The feud at last is ended;

No. 20.

God showeth His good will toward men,
And peace shall dwell on earth again;
O thank Him for His goodness!

2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust
And give Thee thanks forever,
O Father, that Thy rule is just

And wise, and changes never:
Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns,
Done is whate'er Thy will ordains;
Blest we that Thou art Ruler!

3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of Thy heavenly Father,
Ó Thou who hast our peace restored
And straying sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high,
From out our depths we sinners cry,
Have mercy on us, Jesus!

4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,

O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift,
And let Thy power availing

Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed,
We trust in Thee to save us!

BLESSED Jesus, at Thy Word

No. 21.

We are gathered all to hear Thee;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear Thee;
By Thy teachings sweet and holy
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit breaks our night
With the beams of truth unclouded;
Thou alone to God canst win us,
Thou must work all good within us.

3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart!

Light of Light from God proceeding,
Open Thou our ears and heart,
Help us by Thy Spirit's pleading,
Hear the cry Thy people raises,

Hear and bless our prayers and praises!

L. M.-No. 1.

CHRIST Jesus, Lord! to us attend,

CHRI

The Holy Spirit to us send,
With grace to rule us day by day,
And lead us on in wisdom's way.

2 Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise,
Our hearts in true devotion raise;
