Entire purification.

1. Forever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
This all my hope, and all my plea,-
For me the Saviour died.

2. My dying Saviour, and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,

And cleanse and keep me clean.

3. Wash me, and make me thus thine own;
Wash me, and mine thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone,-
My hands, my head, my heart.

4. The' atonement of thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love.

5.

Soul and body dedicated to the Lord.
1. Let Him, to whom we now belong,
His sovereign right assert;
And take up every thankful song,
And every loving heart.

2. He justly claims us for his own,
Who bought us with a price:
The Christian lives to Christ alone;
To Christ alone he dies.

3. Jesus, thine own at last receive,
Fulfil our hearts' desire;
And let us to thy glory live,
And in thy cause expire.

4. Our souls and bodies we resign; With joy we render thee

Our all,

-no longer ours, but thine To all eternity.

Secret communion with God.

1. Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream In earnest pleading flows; Devotion dwells upon the theme,

And warm and warmer glows.

2. Faith grasps the blessing she desires;
Hope points the upward gaze;
And Love, celestial Love, inspires
The eloquence of praise.

3. But sweeter far the still small voice,
Unheard by human ear,

When God has made the heart rejoice,
And dried the bitter tear.

4. No accents flow, no words ascend;
All utt'rance faileth there;
But God himself doth comprehend,
And answer, silent prayer.

8.

Thy will be done.

1. Thy presence, Lord, the place shall fill;
My heart shall be thy throne;
Thy holy, just, and perfect will,
Shall in my flesh be done.

2. I thank thee for the present grace,.
And now in hope rejoice;

In confidence to see thy face,

And always hear thy voice.

3. I have the things I ask of thee;
What more shall I require?
That still my soul may restless be,.
And only thee desire.

4. Thy only will be done, not mine,
But make me, Lord, thy home;
Come as thou wilt, I that resign,
But O, my Jesus, come!

3. Dear Name, the rock on which I build, 2. I find him lifting up my head;

My shield and hiding-place;

My never-failing treasure, fill'd
With boundless stores of grace.

4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And he will soon appear.

3. He wills that I should holy be!
What can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
He surely shall fulfil.

FAMILY DEVOTIONS.

4. Jesus, I hang upon thy word;

I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord, And to thyself receive.

5. When God is mine, and I am his, Of paradise possess'd,

I taste unutterable bliss,

And everlasting rest.

11.

Divine guidance and safety. 1. Before thy mercy-seat, O Lord, Behold, thy servants stand, To ask the knowledge of thy word, The guidance of thy hand.

2. Let thy eternal truths, we pray,
Dwell richly in each heart;
That from the safe and narrow way
We never may depart.

13.

Confession, prayer, and praise.

1. Lord! when we bend before thy throne, And our confessions pour,

O may we feel the sins we own,
And hate what we deplore.

2. Our contrite spirits pitying see;
True penitence impart :
And let a healing ray from thee
Beam peace into each heart.

3. When we disclose our wants in prayer, O let our wills resign;

And not a thought our bosom share,
Which is not wholly thine.

4. And when with heart and voice we strive Our grateful hymns to raise,

Let love divine within us live,
And fill our souls with praise.

3. Lord, from thy word remove the seal, 5. Then, on thy glories while we dwell,

Unfold its hidden store;

And as we hear, O may we feel

Its value more and more.

4. Help us to see the Saviour's love
Beaming from every page;
And let the thoughts of joys above
Our inmost souls engage.

5. Thus while thy word our footsteps
Shall we be truly blest; [guides,
And safe arrive where love provides
An everlasting rest.

[blocks in formation]

Thy mercies we 'll review; With love divine, transported, tellThou, God, art Father too!

14.

The immensity of God's grace.

1. What shall I do my God to love? My loving God to praise?

[prove, The length, and breadth, and height to And depth of sov'reign grace?

2. Thy sov'reign grace to all extends, Immense and unconfined;

From age to age it never ends;

It reaches all mankind.

3. Throughout the world its breadth is Wide as infinity:[known,

So wide it never pass'd by one,

Or it had pass'd by me.

4. My trespass was grown up to heaven; But, far above the skies,

Through Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.

5. The depth of all-redeeming love,
What angel tongue can tell?
O may I to the utmost prove
The gift unspeakable!
