4 Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son,

Mysterious Godhead, Three in One!
Before Thy throne we sinners bend,
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend ! Cowper.

8.7.4.

EAD us, heavenly Father! lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee;
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.

2 Saviour! breathe forgiveness o'er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;

Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God! descending,

Fill our hearts with heavenly joy
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy :

189

Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy. Edmeston.

THOU! whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight :

Hear us, we humbly pray;
And where the Gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!

2 Thou! who didst come to bring,
On Thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight;

Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
Oh! now to all mankind
Let there be light!

3 Spirit of truth and love !
Life-giving, holy Dove,

Speed forth Thy flight!
Move o'er the waters' face
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!

4 Blessed and holy Three,
Glorious Trinity!

Wisdom, Love, Might!

Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
O'er the world, far and wide,

THR

Let there be light!

Marriott.

HREE in One, and One in Three,
Ruler of the earth and sea,

Hear us, while we lift to Thee
Holy chant and psalm.

2 Light of lights, with morning shine,
Lift on us Thy light divine :
And let charity benign

Breathe on us her balm.

3 Light of lights, when falls the even,
Let it close on sin forgiven;

Fold us in the peace of heaven,
Shed a holy calm.

4 Three in One, and One in Three,
Dimly here we worship Thee ;
With the saints hereafter we

Hope to bear the palm.

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.
2 Glory to the Son we bring,

Christ, our Prophet, Priest, and King!
Children, raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain !
3 Glory to the Holy Ghost !
Be this day a Pentecost!
Children's minds may He inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire!

4 Glory in the highest be

192

To the blessed Trinity,

For the gospel from above,

For the word that "God is love!"

THE KINGDOM, POWER, AND GLORY OF GOD.

"Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the Heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as Head above all."-1 CHRON. xxix. 11.

L.M.

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and He destroy.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;

And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.

3 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs;
High as the heavens our voices raise ;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
