SAVIO

AVIOUR, through the desert lead us !
Without Thee we cannot go ;

Thou from cruel chains hast freed us,

Thou hast laid the tyrant low:
Let Thy Presence still precede us,
Comfort us in every woe.

2 When we halt, no track perceiving,
Fearful lest we go astray,
Then the pillar, onward cleaving,
Fire by night, and cloud by day,
Shall direct us, undeceiving,
So we shall not miss the way.

FAIREST Lord Jesus!

Ruler of all nature!

O Thou of God and man the Son!

Thee will I cherish,

Thee will I honor,

5s, 6s, & 8s.

Thou my soul's Glory, Joy and Crown.

2 Fair are the meadows,

Fairer still the woodlands

Robed in the blooming garb of spring:

Jesus is fairer,

Jesus is purer,

Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

3 Fair is the sunlight,

Fairer still the moonlight,

And the twinkling starry host:

Jesus shines brighter,

Jesus shines purer

Than all the angels heaven can boast.

NOTHING but leaves! the Spirit grieves

Over a wasted life;

O'er sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made but never kept,
Hatred, battle, and strife;
Nothing but leaves.

2 Nothing but leaves ! no garnered sheaves
Of life's fair ripened grain ;

Words, idle words, for earnest deeds s;
We sow our seeds, lo, tares and weeds,
We reap with toil and pain
Nothing but leaves.

3 Nothing but leaves! memory weaves
No veil to screen the past ;

As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspent day,
We find sadly at last
Nothing but leaves.

4 And shall we meet the Master so,
Bearing our withered leaves?
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit,
We stand before Him, humbled, mute,
Waiting the words He breathes,
Nothing but leaves !

7s & 5s.

Wouldst thou learn thy griefs to bear,

And escape from every snare?

Trust in God alone!

Human strength is weak and vain,

Sin will oft its power regain;

Humbly ask, and help obtain

From thy Father's throne.

2 Knowest thou, in this vale, of tears,
Gloomy doubts, distracting fears,
Painful months, and sorrowing years?
To the Saviour fly!

1006

He that drank the bitter cup,
Bids thee in His mercy hope;
Let thy prayer be lifted up

To His throne on high.

Morning Praise.

BEHOLD, the shade of night is now receding Kindling with splendors fair the dawn is glowing,

With fervent hearts, oh let us all implore Him—
Ruler Almighty:

Send strength for weakness, grant us His salvation,
And with a Father's pure affection give us
Glory eternal.

ID evening shadows let us all be watching, Ever in psalms our deep devotion waking, And with one voice hymns to the Lord, the Saviour, Sweetly be singing.

We worthily, with all His saints, may enter
The heavenly temple, joyfully partaking
Life everlasting.

Responses to the Commandments.

LORD, have mercy upon us,

And write all these Thy laws in our hearts, we beseech Thee!

THE

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making | wise the simple.

2 The statutes of the Lord are right, re- | joicing

The commandment of the Lord is pure, en- | lightening the eyes.

3 The fear of the Lord is clean, en- ¦ during · for

ever:

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous | altogether.

4 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than │ much fine | gold:

Sweeter also than honey and the | honey- | comb.

5 Moreover by them is Thy | servant | warned: And in keeping of them there is great re- | ward.
