30 ELLERS. IO, IO, IO, IO. E. J. HOPKINS. 1. Father, again to thy dear name we raise With one ac- cord our part - ing hymn of praise; -6 We stand to bless thee ere our worship cease, Then,lowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace. A - MEN. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, From harm and danger keep thy children free, 4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, The Way, the Truth, and the Life. 3 Yes: thou art still the Life; thou art the Way John Ellerton. Theodore Parker. When oth-er help-ers fail,and comforts flee, Help of the helpless,oh, a- bide with me. A-MEN. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little | 4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to day; bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Hold thou the cross before my closing eyes! Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies! Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Henry Francis Lyte. 2 But, over us watching, the bright stars. Are singing their eternal song; Which, echoed from infinite deeps, Goes sounding the earth along. 3 The Lord, who from creation guided Their wondrous and glittering host, For thee he hath also provided, For thee he careth the most. 4 Whose tenderness cares for the flower, 36 To Holley. 1 Holy Spirit, Truth divine, 2 Holy Spirit, Power divine, Fill and nerve this will of mine; By thee may I strongly live, Bravely bear and nobly strive. 3 Holy Spirit, Love divine, 4 Holy Spirit, Peace divine, 5 Holy Spirit, Joy divine, Cheer this saddened heart of mine; Bid my troubled thoughts be still; With thy peace my spirit fill. 6 Holy Spirit, all divine, Dwell within this heart of mine; Cast down every idol throne: Andrew Reed.
