MARCUS MORRIS WELLS.

1. Holy Spirit, faith-ful guide, Ev-er near the Christian's side; Gently lead us by the hand, D. C. Whisp'ring softly, wanderer come;

2 Ever present, truest Friend,

Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er,
Whisper softly, wanderer come!
Follow me, I'll guide thee home.

3 When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
Wond'ring if our names were there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading nought but Jesus' blood,
Whisper softly, wanderer come!
Follow me, I'll guide thee home!

1 GLORY to the Father give,
God in whom we move and live:
Children's prayers He deigns to hear,
Children's songs delight His ear.
Glory to the Son we bring.

Christ our Prophet, Priest and King:
Children, raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain.

2 Glory to the Holy Ghost,

He reclaims the sinner lost;
Children's minds may He inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire.
Glory in the highest be

To the Blessed Trinity

For the Gospel from above,

For the word that "God is love."

James Montgomery.

1 CHRIST, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise, Triumph o'er the shades of night; Day-spring from on high be near, Day-star, in my heart appear.

2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return,

Till Thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

Visit, then, this soul of mine;

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine,

Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day!

Rev. Chas. Wesley.

1 THEY who seek the throne of grace
Find that throne in every place,
If we live a life of prayer,
God is present everywhere.

2 In our sickness and our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present everywhere.

3 When our earthly comforts fail, When the woes of life prevail, "Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere.

4 Then, my soul, in every strait,
To thy Father come, and wait;
He will answer every prayer:
God is present everywhere.
