God in All.

1 God of the earth, the sky, the sea, Maker of all above, below, Creation lives and moves in thee,

Thy present life through all doth flow.

2 Thee in the lonely woods we meet, On the bare hills or cultured plains, In every flower beneath our feet,

3

And e'en the still rock's mossy stains. Thy love is in the sunshine's glow, Thy life is in the quickening air; When lightnings flash and storm-winds blow,

There is thy power; thy law is there. 4 We feel thy calm at evening's hour,

Thy grandeur in the march of night; And, when the morning breaks in power, We hear thy word, "Let there be light."

5 But higher far, and far more clear, Thee in man's spirit we behold; Thine image and thyself are there The Indwelling God, proclaimed of old.

Samuel Longfellow.

To All Saints.

4 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept, IOI For Manliness and Freedom. And hast refreshed me, whilst I slept! Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,

I may of endless light partake.

5 Lord, I my vows to thee renew: Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will,

And with thyself my spirit fill.

To Old Hundred, No. 65.

I Supreme and universal Light!
Fountain of reason! Judge of right!
Parent of good! whose blessings flow
On all above, and all below:

7 Praise God from whom all blessings 4 No slave to profit, shame, or fear,

flow,

Praise him all creatures here below;

Angels and saints his name adore
With praise and joy forevermore.
Thomas Ken.t

100 An Independent and Happy Life.

To All Saints.

1 How happy is he born or taught,

Who serveth not another's will; Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his highest skill;

Oh, may our steadfast bosoms bear
The stamp of heaven,-an upright heart,
Above the mean disguise of art!

5 May our expanded souls disclaim
The narrow view, the selfish aim;
But with a Christian zeal embrace
Whate'er is friendly to our race.

6 O Father, grace and virtue grant!
No more we wish, no more we want:
To know, to serve thee, and to love,
Is peace below, is bliss above.

Henry Moore.

Are cheered with one bright day. So let the minds true sunshine Be spread o'er earth as

free,

1 To thee, O God, we offer

Our joyful songs of praise,
To thee the bounteous Giver,

And Guardian of our days!
Again we meet to thank thee,

To raise our grateful prayer:
Our hearts are filled with gladness
For thy most tender care.
2 Oh, give us needful courage,
To boldly face all sin!

Help us to spread thy gospel,
Till all are gathered in.
The faith we cherish deeply,
May we with zeal impart,
Oh, plant its living power
In every beating heart!,

3 Guard thou our lives, we pray thee,
From sin and error's ways;
Show us the path of duty,

And guide us all our days.
May youth and age so serve thee,
Thou God of watchful love,
That all, when life is ended,
Shall dwell with thee above.
William H. Baldwin.

"O, Beautiful, my country!"
Be thine a nobler care

Than all thy wealth of commerce,
Thy harvests waving fair;
Be it thy pride to lift up
The manhood of the poor;
Be thou to the oppressed

Fair freedom's open door!

2 For thee our fathers suffered; For thee they toiled and prayed; Upon thy holy altar

Their willing lives they laid. Thou hast no common birthright; Grand memories on thee shine; The blood of pilgrim nations Commingled flows in thine.

3 O, Beautiful, our country!

'Round thee in love we draw;
Thine be the grace of Freedom,
The majesty of Law.
Be Righteousness thy scepter,
Justice thy diadem;

And on thy shining forehead
Be Peace the crowning gem!
