SONG XXVIII.

FOR THE LORD'S DAY EVENING.

1 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. 2 Unto Thine House with joy I go, "Tis like a little Heaven below; Not all my pleasure and my play Shall tempt me to forget Thy day. 3 O write upon my memory, Lord, The lessons of Thy holy Word ; That I may break Thy laws no more, But love Thee better than before.

4 With thoughts of Christ, and things divine Fill up this foolish heart of mine; "Till, saved by the Atoning Blood, I shall lie down to rest in God.

SONG XXIX.

MORNING HYMN.

1 LORD, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high:
To Thee will I direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye.

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all His saints,
Presenting at His Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before Whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;

Sinners shall ne'er be Thy delight,
Nor dwell at Thy right hand.

4 But to Thine House will I resort,
To taste Thy mercies there;

I will frequent Thine holy Court,
And worship in Thy fear.

5 O may Thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness!

Make every path of duty straight
And plain before my face.

SONG XXX.

PRAISE TO CHRIST.

1 COME let us join our cheerful songs
With Angels round the throne;

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "To be exalted thus:"

"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For He was slain for us."

DIVINE SONGS FOR CHILDREN.

3 Jesus is worthy to receive

Honour and power divine;

And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name

Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
