Another has
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,

Improve the hours thy God hath blest.
2 This day may our devotions rise,

1 As grateful incense, to the skies;

. And heav'n that sweet repose bestow,

Which none but those who feel it know !
3 This peaceful calm within the breast

Is the sure pledge of heav'nly rest,
Which for the church of God remains,

The end of cares, the end of pains.
4 In holy duties, let the day,

In holy pleasures, pass away;
How sweet, a sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end !

Gladly we now to thee resign

O may our souls adoring own

The grace that calls us to thy throne! il 2 All-seeing God! thy piercing eye

Can ev'ry secret thought explore:

May worldly cares our bosom fly,

And, where thou art, intrude no more:
O may thy grace our spirits move,
And fix our minds on things above!
3 Thy Spirit's pow'rful aid impart,

And bid thy word, with life divine,
Engage the ear, and warm the heart:

Then shall the day indeed be thine;
Then 'shall our souls adoring own
The grace that calls us to thy throne.

Bline 24
The King of glory praise;
L O'er heay'n and earth he reigns,

Through everlasting days;
But Zion, with his presence blest,

Is his delight, his chosen rest. 2 O King of glory! come,

And with thy favour crown.
This temple as thy home,

This people as thy own.
Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show

How God can dwell with men below. 3 Now let thine ear attend

Our supplicating cries;
Now let our praise ascend,

Accepted to the skies :
Now let thy gospel's joyful sound

Spread its celestial influence round. 4 Here may the list'ning throng,

Imbibe thy truth and love;
Here Christians join the song

Of seraphim above:
Till all who humbly seek thy face,
Rejoice in thy abounding grace.

AR from my thoughts, vain world, be gone;

Let my religious hours alone:
From flesh and sense I would be free,

And hold communion, Lord, with thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,

And kindles with a pure desire,
To see thy grace, to taste thy love,

And feel thine influence from above. 3 When I can say that God is mine,

When I can see thy glories shine,
I'll tread the world beneath my feet,
And all that men call rich and great.

Send comfort down from thy right hand,
To cheer me in this barren land;
And in thy temple let me know
The joys that from thy presence flow.

The dawn of thy returning day; S21;. My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee,

While thus my early vows I pay. 2 I yield my heart to thee alone,

Nor would receive another guest; L. Eternal King! erect thy throne,

L And reign sole monarch in my breast. 3 O bid this trifling world retire,

And drive each carnal thought away; Nor let me feel one vain desire,

One sinful thought, through all the day. 4 Then, to thy courts when I repair,

My soul shall rise on joyful wing, 1 The wonders of thy love declare,

And join the strains which angels sing.

HYMN 38. (111. 1.) 1 To thy temple I repair

Lord, I love to worship there: 1. While thy glorious praise is sung,

L Touch my lips, unloose my tongue. 2 While the pray’rs of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend;

le Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads;

Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
3 While I hearken to thy law,

Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till thy gospel bring to me

Life and immortality.
4. While thy ministers proclaim

Peace and pardon in thy name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear thee speaking from on high.

5 From thy house when I return,

May my heart within me burn;
And at ev'ning let me say,
“ I have walk'd with God to-day."

ARK! the glad sound, the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promis'd long

Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,

And ev'ry voice a song.

Exerts his sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,

His holy breast inspire.

3 He comes, the pris'ners to release, L.

In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,

The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, from thickest films of vice

To clear the mental ray;
And on the eyes oppress’d with night,

To pour celestial day.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,

The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of his grace,

Tenrich the humble poor. .
6 Our glad Hosannas, Prince of peace,
L Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heav'n's eternal arches ring

With thy beloved name. 22 ha HYMN 42.

Born to reign in us for ever,

By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
