6 RUSSIAN HYMN L. M.

[graphic]

2 Forever firm thy justice stands,

As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thine hands, Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

7 ST. ANNE C. M.

3 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.

Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D. William Croft

1 Our God, our help in a ges past, Our hope for years to come!

Our shelter from the storm - y blast, And Our eternal home! A-MEN.

2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
3 A thousand ages in thy sight

Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.

4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

5 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,

Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home!

Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D.

Free from care, from labor free, Lord, we would commune with thee.

A-MEN.

2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye
Nought escapes, without, within!
Pardon each infirmity;
Open fault and secret sin.

3 When for us the light of day
Shall forever pass away,
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Lord, to dwell with thee.

2 Eager for toil, thy servant stands,
With girded loins and ready hands;
O, grant, whate'er his work may be,
His labor may be blest by thee!

3 No lot of ease for him we ask,
But strength to meet his daily task.
Wisdom from thee aright to see
And use each opportunity.

4 O heavenly Source of Light and Love,
Our hearts to reverent worship move,
And in thy spirit's unity

Bind each to each and all to thee!

We kneel at close of day; Look on thy children from on high,And hear us while we pray. A-men.

2 The rays of daylight slowly fade:
So fade within our heart

The hopes in earthly love and joy
That one by one depart;

The bright stars slowly, one by one,
Within the heavens shine:

Give us, O Lord! fresh hopes in heaven,
And trust in things divine.

3 Let peace, O Lord, thy peace, O God,
Upon our souls descend;

From midnight fears and perils, thou
Our trembling hearts defend;

Give us a respite from our toil,

Calm and subdue our woes;

Through the long day we labor, Lord:
O, give us now repose!
