1. Jesus, en-grave it on my heart That Thou the one thing need-ful art;

I

could from all things parted be,

But nev-er,

never, Lord, from Thee. Amen.

2 Needful is Thy most precious blood
To reconcile my soul to God,
Needful is Thy indulgent care,
Needful Thy all-prevailing prayer.

3 Needful Thy presence, dearest Lord,
True peace and comfort to afford,
Needful Thy promise, to impart
Fresh life and vigor to my heart.

4 Needful art Thou, my Guide, my Stay,
Through all life's dark and weary way;
Nor less in death Thou'lt needful be
To bring my spirit home to Thee.

5 Then needful still, my God, my King,
Thy name eternally I'll sing!
Glory and praise be ever His-
The one thing needful Jesus is!
112.

1 GLORY to Thee, my God this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings!
Beneath Thine own almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill which I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
L, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

[blocks in formation]

1 Now LET my soul, eternal King,
To Thee its grateful tribute bring;
My knee with humble homage bow,
My tongue perform its solemn vow.

2 All nature sings Thy boundless love,
In worlds below and worlds above;
But in Thy blessed word I trace
Diviner wonders of Thy grace.

3 Here Jesus bids my sorrows cease,
And gives my laboring conscience peace;
Here lifts my grateful passions high,
And points to mansions in the sky.

4 For love like this, oh, let my song,
Through endless years, Thy praise prolong;
Let distant climes Thy name adore,
Till time and nature are no more.

The Hour of Prayer.-Concluded.

3 No words can tell what blest relief

There for my every want I find;
What strength for warfare, balm for grief;
What peace of mind.

My spirit seems in heaven to stay;

And e'en the penitential tear

No privilege so dear shall be,
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee:

Joy to the world, the Lord has come.

A GOOD TIME TO LIVE IN.

1 WE are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;

To be living is sublime.

2 Oh! let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad,
Strike, let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.

Rev. Arthur Cleveland Coxe. (1818-) 1840.
