EVENING Ejaculations.

ING OF GLORY! let thy light Shine upon us day and night: Therewith let our fouls be bleft, While our bodies are at rest.

2 If we to another day

In thefe earthly houfes ftay;
Lord, from evil do thou keep,
And renew our strength with fleep.

3 But fhould thou permit that we
In the night afflicted be;
O affift us, by thy pow'r,
To furvive the trying hour.

4 If our mortal change fhould come,
Take us to our long fought home:
To that glorious land above
Of eternal life and love.

L

EVENING,

ET all that breathe" hofannahs raise,

And gladly fing JEHOVAH's praise; Whofe hand fupplies all flesh with food, And ev'ry other needful good"!

2 But we, the monuments of grace,
The fallen fons of Adam's race,
Above the reft, ought to declare
Thy love and wife paternal care.
3 This day, while dangers did furround,
Both feen and unseen, we have found
The hand that faveth from all ill,
To be our God and Saviour' ftill.

Lo this we exercife on thee,

And are through Chrift from fin fet freea.

Hence we lay down in peace to fleepb;

For wholly in thy grace we trust,
Whofe love is fet upon the just.

WE'LL now lay down in peace to reft,

And put our trust in thee:

And us from fin fet free!

Be thou our keeper day and night,
For lo, the faints are thy delight".

2 In darkest fhades of midnight gloom,
O let the light of grace

From thy most glorious prefence come,
That we may fee thy face;

And ev'ry moment let us prove

A conftant growth in faith and love.

A Figurative Defcription of CHRIT as a SHEPHERD.

I HRIST, the GOOD SHEPHERD of his fheep, 8 Doth fafely keep them from all harm;

CH

But hirelings either fall asleep,

Or fleeth at the wolf's alarm.

2. How bleft then are that little flock,
Who in his paftures fafely feed?
In drought unto the fhady rockk,
And living streams' he them doth lead.
3 He of himself his life laid down,
That he eternal life might give;
And this to all he will make known,
Who ftill on barren mountains live.

4 Though far and wide his fheep have stray'd,
Amidit the dark and cloudy day;

They of one fold shall all be made,
And their CHIEF SHEPHERD's

voice obey.

5 Hence we'll promulge his name with joy,
And gladly fpread the joyful found;
For he at laft will death deftroy,

Till evil§ no where fhall be found!
