Revive Thy work, O Lord,
Exalt Thy precious name;
And, by the Holy Ghost, our love
For Thee and Thine inflame.

Revive Thy work, O Lord!
Give power unto Thy Word,
Grant that Thy blessed gospel may
With living faith be heard.

Revive Thy work, O Lord,
And give refreshing showers;
The glory shall be all Thine own,
The blessing,Lord, be ours!

Midlane, 1860.

WEET Holy Spirit, come,
Dwell with a child,

Make of my heart a home

All undefiled.

2 Come when that heart is weak,
And sins are strong,
When evil voices speak,
Tempting to wrong.

3 Come in the early light
Of welcome day;
That I begin aright,
Help me to pray.

4 Come when alone I lie

Waiting for sleep;

Then, drawing gently nigh,
Kind vigils keep.

5 Come when, all pale and still,
Dying I lie,

With Thy fair radiance fill
Faint lip and eye.

182

6 Come, comfort, carry me
Through death's dark tide,
Lead me up lovingly

Safe to Christ's side.

C.M.

HY home is with the humble, Lord;
The lowly shall be blest;

Thy lodging is in childlike hearts;
Thou makest there Thy Rest.

2 Dear Comforter! Eternal Love!
If Thou wilt stay with me,
Of lowly thoughts and holy ways
I'll build a Rest for Thee!

3 Who made this beating heart of mine,
But Thou, my heavenly Guest ?
Let no one have it, then, but Thee,
And let it be Thy Rest.

8.8.

COME, Holy Ghost! our souls inspire,

And lighten with celestial fire!

Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love :
Enable with perpetual light

The dulness of our blinded sight.
Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of Thy grace;
Keep far our foes, give peace at home :
Where Thou art Guide no ill can come.
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of both, to be but One;
That, through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song-
"Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!"

Cosin.

Baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."-MATT. xxviii. 19.

HOLY, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;

Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,

Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. 3 Holy, holy, holy though the darkness hide Thee,

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may

not see,

Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth,
and sky, and sea;

Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity! Heber.

HE God who reigns on high,
The great archangels sing,
And "Holy, Holy, Holy!" cry,
Almighty King!

Who was and is the same,
And evermore shall be,
Jehovah, Father, great I AM,
We worship Thee.

Before the Saviour's face
The ransom'd nations bow,
O'erwhelmed at His almighty grace,
For ever new.

He shows His prints of love;
They kindle to a flame,

And sound, through all the worlds above,

The slaughter'd Lamb!

Before the great Three-One,

They all exulting stand,

And tell the wonders He hath done

Through all their land;

The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,
And sing in songs which never end
The wondrous Name.

4 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high:

"Hail! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry:

Hail! Abraham's God and mine!

I join the heavenly lays;

All might and majesty are Thine,

And endless praise !

Olivers, 1770.

BRIGHT the vision that delighted

Once the sight of Judah's seer;
Sweet the countless tongues united
To entrance the prophet's ear.

2 Round the Lord in glory seated, Cherubim and seraphim

Filled His temple, and repeated

Each to each the alternate hymn :-
3 "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!"

4 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
Earth takes up the angels' cry—
"Holy, Holy, Holy,"—singing,

"Lord of hosts, the Lord most high!" 5 With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow:

6 Thus, Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt Thy angels' cry,

L.M.

FATHER of heaven! whose love profound

A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy pardoning love extend!
2 Almighty Son! Incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy saving grace extend!
3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy quickening power extend.
