Hymn 23. 8, 7, 4.

"_Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing._"

Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing!

Fill our hearts with joy and peace; Let us each thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace: O re-fresh us, Travelling through this wilderness!

2 Thanks we give and adoration, For thy gospel's joyful sound; May the fruits of thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound!

E-ver faith-ful To the truth may we be found!

3 So, whene'er the signal's given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angel's wings to heav'n; Glad the summons to obey, May we e-ver Reign with Christ in endless day!

Hymn 24. L. M.

"_Sweet hour of prayer._"

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

Thy wings shall my pet.i.tion bear, To him whose truth and faithfulness, Engage the waiting soul to bless; And since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

May I thy consolation share; Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight.

This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize; And shout, while pa.s.sing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

Hymn 25. 8 Lines, 7's.

"_Jesus, lover of my soul._"

Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last!

2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee, Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on thee is stay'd; All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing.

3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art; Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.
