3 Keep our haughty passions bound; Keep us safe from every sin. 4 When our work of life is past, O! receive us then at last, Night of sin will be no more, When we reach the heavenly shore. HARTFORD COL HYMN 16. C. M. Zion. [b] Evening. 1 O Lord! another day is flown, And we a little band, Are met once more before thy throne, 2 And wilt thou bend a listening ear, Thou wilt, for thou dost love to hear 3 And, Jesus! thou thy smiles will deign, For thou didst bless the infant train, 4 O! let thy grace perform its part, 5 Thus chasten'd, cleans'd, entirely thine, The Sun of holiness shall shine, In glory on our head. 6 And thou wilt turn our wandering feet, Till worlds shall fade, and faith shall greet KIRKE WHITE. HYMN 17. L. M. Portugal. [*] 1 My God, how endless is thy love! 2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, 3 I yield my powers to thy command, WATTS. HYMN 18. C. M. Reading. [b] 1 Lord of my life! O, may thy praise 2 Preserv'd by thine almighty arm 3 O! let the same almighty care, 4 Smile on my minutes as they roll, And let thy goodness fill my soul With gratitude and praise. STEELE. HYMN 19. C. M. Hymn Second. [*] Evening. 1 Indulgent God, whose bounteous care O! let my grateful praise and prayer 2 What mercies has this day bestow'd! With cheerfulness my breast. 3 Now may soft slumbers close my eyes, And let my wakeful thoughts arise 4 Thus bless each future day and night, And then to realms of endless light, O! let my spirit soar. 29 LIVERPOOL COL. HYMN 20. C. M. Mear. [*] Morning. 1 To thee, Great God! in thankful song 2 With joyful heart, I now behold 3 How many, dear to thee, opprest 4 Still on their restless beds they lie, 5 Through whate'er trying scenes this day, 6 Thus every morning shall my song As holy incense rise, Propitious, in thy Son, accept The willing sacrifice. CODMAN'S COL. HYMN 21. S. M. Watchman. [*] 1 The day is past and gone, So death will soon disrobe us all] 3 Lord! keep us safe this night, May angels guard us while we sleep, 4 And, if we early rise And view the unwearied sun, May we set out to win the prize, And after glory run. HYMN 22. L. M. Sicilian. [*] 1 How should the morning of my days, HARRISON. HYMN 23. C. M. Hymn Second. [b] 1 Dread Sov'reign! let my evening song, Assist the offerings of my tongue To reach the lofty skies. 2 Through all the dangers of the day, 3 Perpetual blessings from above But, O! how few returns of love 4 What have I done for him, who died How are my follies multiplied, Fast as my minutes roll! 5 Lord! with this guilty heart of mine, And to thy grace my soul resign 6 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood, I lay me down to rest, As in the embraces of my God, Or on my Saviour's breast. WATTS. HYMN 24. C. M. St. Martins. [*] 1 God of our lives! our morning songs, 2 Guardian of man! thy wakeful eyes Thine eyes pierce thro' the shades of night, Intent on all below. 3 Sustain'd by thee, our opening eyes, Salute the morning light; Secure we stand, unhurt by all The arrows of the night. 4 Our lives renewed, our strength repaired To thee our God are due; Teach us thy ways, and give us grace, 5 From every evil way defend, 6 O may thy holy fear command, PEARCE. HYMN 25. 7s. Hotham. [*] 1 Safely through another week, God has brought us on our way; 2 Mercies, multiplied each hour, Fed and guided by his hand; Though ungrateful we have been, |
