HYMN.

The following hymn, written by Mrs. Sigourney, was sung at the funeral of the Rev. G. F. Davis, D. D., one of the partners in the compilation of this volume, but will answer for other similar occasions.

1 PASTOR! thou from us art taken
In the glory of thy years,
As the oak, by tempests shaken,
Falls ere time its verdure sears.

2 Here, where oft thy lip hath taught us
Of the Lamb who died to save,
Where thy guiding hand hath brought us
To the deep, baptismal wave-

3 Pale and cold we see thee lying,
In God's temple once so dear,
And the mourners' bitter sighing
Falls unheeded on thine ear.

4 All thy love, and zeal to lead us
Where immortal fountains shine,
And on living bread to fced us,

In our sorrowing hearts do shine.

5 May the conquering faith that cheer'd thee
When thy foot on Jordan prest,

Guide our spirits while we leave thee
In the tomb that Jesus blest.

A TABLE OF FIRST LINES.

A CHARGE to keep I have,

Again we'll magnify,

Ah! how shall fallen man,

Ah! what can I, a sinner, do,

Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression,

Ah! whither shall I go,

Aid, O Lord, our youthful voices,
Alas! alas! how blind I've been,
Alas, and did my Saviour bleed,
Alas, what hourly dangers rise,
All glory and praise,

All hail the power of Jesus' name,
All hail, ye servants of the Lord,
All-powerful, self-existent God,

All ye who laugh and sport with death,
Am I a soldier of the cross,

A mourning class, a vacant seat,

An alien from God, and a stranger to grace, 284

And are we yet alive?

And canst thou, then, believe, my soul,

And canst thou, sinner, slight,

And must I part with all I have?

And what am I? my soul, awake,
Another day is past,
Arise, my soul, arise,

Ascend thy throne almighty King,
As sailors toss'd on ocean's bed,
Assembled at thy great command,
Assembled in our school once more,
Assembled round thine altar, Lord,
Astonish'd and distressed,

As when the weary traveller gains,
Awak'd by Sinai's awful sound,
Awakened from sin's delusive sleep,
Awake, my soul, and with the sun,
Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
Awake, and sing the song

Bestow, dear Lord, upon our youth,

Blessed Saviour, by thy powerful word,

BAPTIZED into our Saviour's death,
Begone, my worldly cares, away,
Begone unbelief, my Saviour is near,
Behold, a stranger at the door,
Behold the genial showers descend,
Behold the gift of God,

Behold the expected time draw near,
Behold the mountain of the Lord,
Being of beings, God of love,

Beside the gospel pool,

Beyond the glitt'ring, starry sky,
Beyond where Cedron's waters flow,
Blessed is the man whose heart expands,
Blessed Jesus! when my soaring thoughts,

Blest be the tie that binds,

Blest Comforter divine,

Blest is the man whose soft'ning heart,

517

Brethren, as you have owned,

Bright as the sun's meridian blaze,

CHECK, at the fountain-head,

Blest Lord, when darkness veils the skies,

Brethren, while we sojourn here,

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, 26.

By whom shall Jacob now arise,

Children of the heavenly King,
Christ as our great physician heals,
Christ is my hope, my soul's desire,
Christians, hear the Saviour call you,
Christians, if your hearts be warm,
Christian worship, how inviting!
Choose ye his cross to bear,
Come, divine and peaceful guest,
Come, every pious heart,

Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
Come, Holy Spirit, calm each mind,
Come, Holy Spirit, come,

Come, Holy Spirit, Dove divine,
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
Come let our voices join,

Come let us anew,

Come let us join our friends above,
Come, little children, join and sing,

Come, thou fount of every blessing,

511

Come, ye converts, come and welcome,

Come, welcome this new year of grace,

Come, sinnner, in whose guilty breast,
Come, sinners, attend,

Come, thou almighty King,

Come, thou condescending Jesus,

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, 307
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Come, ye weary sinners, come,

Come, ye who know the Saviour's love,
Converts to Christ's benignant sway,
Courage, my soul! behold the prize,
Creator, God! thy glories blaze,

DEAR Jesus here comes, and knocks at thy

door,

Dear Lord, I see in Peter's case,

Delay not, delay not-O sinner draw near,
