3 What, though in lonely grief I sigh, For friends beloved no longer nigh, Submissive still, I would reply

66

"Thy will be done. Thy will be done." 4 If Thou should'st call me to resign What most I prize-it ne'er was mine! I only yield Thee what is thine

Thy will be done. Thy will be done." 5 Renew my will from day to day, Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to sayThy will be done. Thy will be done."

161A Like seed into the ground;

LMIGHTY God, thy word is cast

Now let the dew of heaven descend,
And plenteous fruits abound.

2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;

But give it root in every heart,
To bring forth fruits of love.

3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy;

But let it yield a hundred-fold

The fruits of peace and joy.

4 Where'er the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow;
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving power may know.

5 To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost,

All honour by the Church be done,
And by the heavenly host.

162 THOUGH we have grieved thy

Spirit, Lord,

His help and comfort still afford;
And let us venture near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son.
2 A broken heart, O God, our King,
Is all the sacrifice we bring;

Thou, gracious God, wilt ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.

3 Our souls lie humbled in the dust, And own thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die! 4 So shall thy love inspire our tongue,Salvation shall be all our song;

And all our powers shall join to bless
The Lord, our strength and righteous-

ness.

5 Grant, ever-blessed Three in One, Through whom alone right works are done,

That this our fast, through all its round,
May with the Spirit's fruits be crowned,
Amen.

163 SOLDIERS of Christ! arise,

And put your armour on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son.

2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts,

And in his mighty power,

Who in the strength of JESUS trusts

Is more than conqueror.

3 Stand, then, in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The armour bright of God:
That having all things done,

And all your conflicts past,

Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.

AY

164 MAX the grace of Christ our

Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above!

2 Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

165 LORD! dismiss us with thy bless

ing,

Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us,

Travelling through this wilderness.
2 Thanks we give and adoration
For the Gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound:
May thy presence

With us evermore be found!

According to Thy gracious word..
Again returns the day of holy rest..
ALMIGHTY GOD Thy throne above
ALMIGHTY GOD in humble prayer

ALMIGHTY GOD Thy word is cast..
ALMIGHTY MAKER of my frame
And now my soul, another year
And now the sun's declining rays
And now the day is past and gone
Angels from the realms of glory
Another six days' work is done
As every day Thy mercy spares
As pants the hart for cooling streams

Awake my soul and with the sun
Before JEHOVAH'S awful throne

Before the ending of the day

Bless, O LORD, the op'ning year.
BREAD of Heaven, on Thee we feed..
