5 Thus rais'd from death, we live anew;
And, justified by grace,
We hope in glory to appear,
And see our Father's face,

HYMN 20.

1 HOW helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!

The heart unchang'd can never rise
To happiness and God.

2 The will perverse, the passions blind,
In paths of ruin stray :
Reason debas'd can never find

The safe, the narrow way.

3 Can aught beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue?

'Tis thine, Almighty Saviour, thine
To form the heart anew,

4 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And upwards bid them rise;
And make the scales of error fall
From reason's darken'd eyes.

5 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;

A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give.

60 change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine!

Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be thine.

HYMN 21.

1 FATHER, to thee my soul I lift,
On thee my hope depends,
Convinc'd that every perfect gift
From thee alone descends.

2 Mercy and grace are thine alone,
And pow'r and wisdom too;
Without the Spirit of thy Son
We nothing good can do.

3 Thou all our works in us hast wrought,
Our good is all divine;

The praise of every holy thought

And righteous word is thine.

4 From thee, through Jesus, we receive
The pow'r on thee to call,

In whom we are, and move, and live:
Our God is all in all.

HYMN 22.

1 SING, my soul, his wondrous love,
Who, from yon bright throne above,
Ever watchful o'er our race,
Still to man extends his grace.

2 Heav'n and earth by him were made,
All is by his sceptre sway'd;

What are we that he should show
So much love to us below?

3 God, the merciful and good,
Bought us with the Saviour's blood;
And, to make our safety sure,
Guides us by his Spirit pure.

4 Sing, my soul, adore his name;
Let his glory be thy theme:
Praise him till he calls thee home,
Trust his love for all to come.

(IIL 1.)

8 Behold the Ark of God,
Behold the open door;
Hasten to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
4 There, safe thou shalt abide,
There, sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blest.

5 And, when the waves of ire
Again the earth shall fill,

The Ark shall ride the sea of fire;

Then rest on Zion's hill.

HYMN 25.

S. M.>

1 I LOVE thy kingdom, Lord,

The house of thine abode,

The Church our blest Redeemer sav'd

With his own precious blood.

2 I love thy Church, O God!

Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand.

3 If e'er to bless thy sons,

My voice or hands deny,

These hands let useful skill forsake,

This voice in silence die.

4 If e'er my heart forget

Her welfare, or her wo,
Let ev'ry joy this heart forsake,
And every grief o'erflow.

5 For her my tears shall fall;

For her my pray'rs ascend;

To her my cares and toils be giv'n,
Till toils and cares shall end,

6 Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

Jesus, thou Friend divine,

Our Saviour and our King,

Thy hand from every snare and foe

Shall great deliv'rance bring.

8 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be giv'n

The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

HYMN 26.

Hebrews xii. 18. 22--24.

1 NOT to the terrors of the Lord,

The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke:

2 But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God;

Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.

3 Behold th' innumerable host
Of angels cloth'd in light!
Behold the spirits of the just
Whose faith is chang'd to sight.

4 Behold the bless'd assembly there
Whose names are writ in heav'n;
Hear God, the Judge of all, declare
Their sins, through Christ, forgiv'n!
5 Angels, and living saints and dead,
But one communion make;
All join in Christ, their vital Head,
And of his love partake.

(C. M.)

1 BLEST is the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love:

The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

2 Before our Father's throne

We pour united prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one;
Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes,

Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.

4 When we at death must part,

How keen, how deep the pain! But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again.

5 From sorrow, toil, and pain,

And sin we shall be free;

And perfect love and friendship reign
Throughout eternity.

HYMN 28.

Psalm cxxii,

The Church in Glory,

1 WITH joy shall I behold the day
That calls my willing soul away,
To dwell among the blest:
For lo! my great Redeemer's power
Unfolds the everlasting door,
And points me to his rest.

2 Ev'n now, to my expecting eyes
The heaven-built tow'rs of Salem rise;
Their glory I survey;

I view her mansions, that contain
The angel host, a beauteous train,
And shine with cloudless day.

3 Thither, from earth's remotest end,
Lo! the redeem'd of God ascend,
Borne on immortal wing;

There, crown'd with everlasting joy,
In ceaseless hymns their tongues employ
Before th' Almighty King,

4 The King a seat hath there prepar'd,
High, on eternal base uprear'd,

For his eternal Son:

His palaces with joy abound;

His saints, by him with glory crown'd,

Attend and share his throne.

5 Mother of cities! o'er thy head

Bright peace, with healing wings outspread,
For evermore shall dwell:

Let me, biest seat! my name behold
Among thy citizens enroll'd,

And bid the world farewell.

HYMN 29.

(II 1.)

(L. M..

1 TRIUMPHANT Zion! lift thy head
From dust, and darkness, and the dead!
Though humbled long, awake at length,
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength!
2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known:
Deck'd in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.
3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallow'd walls with dread;
