442. Children's Evening Hymn. 1. Now condescend, almighty King, 2. Brothers and sisters, hand in hand, 3. We come to own the Power divine 4. May we in safety sleep to-night, For, Lord, the darkness and the light And when the rising sun displays (For verse 5, begin at the double bar.) 443. Christ's Presence with the Aged. 1. ABIDE with us, for day declines, And night is drawing near; The sun of life now dimly shines, Earth's shadows well may come, To dissipate the gloom. 2. Abide with us, that we may know 3. Abide with us, that we may learn 444. The Sabbath of the Soul. 1. O FATHER! though the anxious fear 2. A whispered word may touch the heart, 3. Thy neighbor? he who drinks the cup And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. 3. No act falls fruitless; none can tell Nor what results enfolded dwell 4. Work, and despair not: bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serve the right, 1. WHEN all thy mercies, O my God, 2. Unnumbered comforts on my soul 3. When in the slippery paths of youth 4. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts When sorrow drowns the brim; With words of high sustaining hope, Go thou, and comfort him. 4. Thy neighbor? 'tis the weary slave, Fettered in mind and limb; He hath no hope this side the grave, 5. Thy neighbor? pass no mourner by; Perhaps thou canst redeem A breaking heart from misery; 448. Prayer for strong Faith. 1. O, FOR a faith that will not shrink 2. That will not murmur nor complain 3. A faith that shines more bright and clear 4. Lord, give us such a faith as this, 1. O, SPEED thee, Christian, on thy way, 2. There is a battle to be fought, 3. The shield of faith repels the dart That Satan's hand may throw; 4. The glowing lamp of prayer will light Thee on thy anxious road; 'T will keep the goal of heaven in sight, And guide thee to thy God. 5. O, faint not, Christian, for thy sighs 450. The Ascension and Reign of Christ. 2. Jesus, our God, ascends on high; 3. While angels shout, and praise their King 4. Rehearse his praise with awe profound; | 453. 5. In Israel stood his ancient throne:- But now he calls the world his own; 2. See the fair way his hand hath made; 3. A hand divine shall lead you on, Through all the blissful road; 5. March on, in your Redeemer's strength; Pursue his footsteps still; With joyful hope, still fix your eye 1. DAUGHTER of Zion, from the dust He calls thee from the dead. 2. Awake, awake; put on thy strength, The day of freedom dawns at length, 3. Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, 4. They come! they come! thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam, 5. Thus, though the universe shall burn, Promised Aid. 1. Go, and the Saviour's grace proclaim, Ye favored men of God! Go, publish, through Immanuel's name, 2. What, though your arduous pathway lie 3. Yet, with determined courage, go, 4. Shrink not, though earth and hell oppose, 454. The joyful Reign of Christ. 1. Joy to the world-the Lord is come!- 2. Joy to the world—the Saviour reigns, Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods-rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy. 3. No more let sin and sorrow grow, 4. He rules the world with truth and grace, ZIPHRON. L. M. MODERATO AFFETTUOSo. Arranged from BEETHOVEN. 1. The God of love will sure indulge The flow - ing tear, the heaving sigh, When his own chil-dren fall a-round, When tender friends and kin-dred die. See also ROCKINGHAM 238. 456. Mourning with Submission. The flowing tear, the heaving sigh, When his own children fall aroundWhen tender friends and kindred die. 2. Yet not one anxious, murm'ring thought, Should with our mourning passions blend; Nor would our bleeding hearts forget 3. Beneath a numerous train of ills, Our feeble flesh and heart may fail; Yet shall our hope in thee, our God, O'er every gloomy fear prevail. 4. Our Father God! to thee we look, Our Rock, our Portion, and our Friend; And on thy covenant love and truth Our sinking souls shall still depend. 3. Jesus! to thee I would return, 4. Oh! let thy love, with sweet control, 458. Divinity of Christ proved by his Miracles. 1. BEHOLD! the blind their sight receive; 2. Thus doth th' eternal Spirit own 3.
