Ο GOD, thou art my God alone;
Early to thee my soul shall cry,-

A pilgrim in a land unknown,

A thirsty land whose springs are dry.
2 Yet, through this rough and thorny maze,
I follow hard on thee, my God;
Thy hand unseen upholds my ways,
I safely tread where thou hast trod.
3 Thee, in the watches of the night,
When I remember on my bed,
Thy presence makes the darkness light;
Thy guardian wings are round my head.

4 Better than life itself thy love,

Dearer than all beside to me;

For whom have I in heaven above,

Or what on earth, compared with thee?

PSALM lxiii. 1-4.

EARLY, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face;

My thirsty spirit faints away,
Without thy cheering grace.

I

THOU, whose mercy bends the skies,
To save when humble sinners pray;
All lands to thee shall lift their eyes,
And distant islands of the sea.

2 Against my will my sins prevail,

But grace shall purge away their stain;
The blood of Christ will never fail
To wash my garments white again.

3 Blest is the man whom thou shalt choose,
And give him kind access to thee:
Give him a place within thy house,
To taste thy love divinely free.

4 Soon shall the flocking nations run
To Zion's hill and own their Lord;
The rising and the setting sun

Shall see the Saviour's name adored.

SHINE

HINE on our land, Jehovah, shine,
With beams of heavenly grace;

Reveal thy power through all our courts,
And show thy smiling face.

2 When shall thy name, from shore to shore,
Sound all the earth abroad,

And distant nations know and love
Their Saviour and their God?

3 Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands,
Sing loud with solemn voice;
Let thankful tongues exalt his praise,
And thankful hearts rejoice.

4 Earth shall confess her Maker's hand,
And yield a full increase;

Our God will crown his chosen land
With fruitfulness and peace.

5 God, the Redeemer, scatters round
His choicest favors here:
While the creation's utmost bound
Shall see, adore, and fear.

то

bless thy chosen race,

In mercy, Lord, incline;

And cause the brightness of thy face
On all thy saints to shine ;-

2 That so thy wondrous way

May through the world be known;
While distant lands their tribute pay,
And thy salvation own.

3 O let them shout and sing,

With joy and pious mirth;

For thou, the righteous Judge and King,
Shalt govern all the earth.

4 Let differing nations join

To celebrate thy fame;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine

To praise thy glorious name.

MY

Y Saviour, my almighty Friend,
When I begin thy praise,

Where will the growing numbers end,—
The numbers of thy grace?

Thou art my everlasting trust;

Thy goodness I adore;

And since I knew thy graces first,

I speak thy glories more.
