HOLY BAPTISM.

N token that thou shalt not fear
Christ crucified to own,

We print the cross upon thee here,
And stamp thee His alone.

In token that thou shalt not blush
We glory in His name,
We blazon here upon thy front
His glory and His shame.

In token that thou shalt not fail
Christ's quarrel to maintain,
But 'neath His banner manfully
Firm at thy post remain ;

In token that thou too shalt tread
The path He travelled by,

Endure the cross, despise the shame,
And sit thee down on high;

Thus, outwardly and visibly,
We seal thee for His own;

And

may the brow that wears His cross Hereafter share His crown!

HENRY ALFORD, (1845.)

CONFIRMATION PRAYER.

HINE for ever! God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine forever may we be,
Here and in eternity!

Thine for ever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife;
Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.

Thine for ever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest;
Saviour, Guardian, heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end.

Thine for ever! Saviour keep

These Thy frail and trembling sheep;

Safe alone beneath Thy care

Let us all Thy goodness share.

Thine for ever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Led by Thee from earth to heaven!

Amen.

EUCHARIST.

E cometh, on yon hallowed Board
The ready Feast doth duly show,
Where wait the chalice and the
bread,

Like jems within their veil of snow.

He cometh, as He came of old,
Suddenly to His Father's shrine,
Into the hearts he died to make
Meet temples for His grace Divine.

He cometh, as the Bridegroom comes,
Unto the feast Himself has spread;
His flesh and blood the heavenly food
Wherewith the wedding guests are fed.

He cometh-gentle as the dew,

And sweet as drops of honey clear, And good as God's own manna shower, To longing souls that meet Him here.
