HYMNS FOR THE CHURCH,

AND FOR

FAMILY AND PRIVATE DEVOTION.

1.

HYMNS FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP.

C. M.

CHILDREN'S WORSHIP.

WE come in childhood's innocence,
We come, as children free;
We offer up, O, God, our hearts
In trusting love to thee.

Well may we bend in solemn joy
At thy bright courts above;
Well may the grateful child rejoice
In such a Father's Love.

In joy we wake, in peace we sleep,
Safe from all midnight harms ;
Not folded in an angel's wings,

But in a Father's arms.

THE PROMISE.

"WHERE two or three," with sweet accord,
Obedient to their sovereign Lord,

Meet to recount his tender grace

And offer solemn prayer and praise ;

"There" says the Saviour "will I be,
"Amid this little company;

"To them unveil my smiling face,
"And shed my glories round the place."

We meet at thy command, dear Lord,
Relying on thy faithful word;

Now send thy Spirit from above
And fill our hearts with heavenly love.

L. M.

THE SABBATH.

LORD, how delightful 'tis to see
A whole assembly worship thee!

At once they sing, at once they pray-
They hear of heaven, and learn the way.
