2 Grant thy spirit!-By thy kindness
Let our errors be forgiven :
Heal our sins, dispel our blindness;
Then-conduct us safe to heaven!

94. P.M. DR. DODDRIDGE.
An evening bymn.

1 NTERVAL of grateful shade,

Welcome slumbers to my eyes,
Tir'd with glaring vanities.
2 My great master still allows
Needful periods of repose :
By my heav'nly father blest,
Thus I give my pow'rs to rest.

3 Heav'nly father! gracious name!
Night and day his love the same!
Far be each suspicious thought,
Ev'ry anxious care forgot!

4 Thou, my ever-bounteous GOD!
Crown'st my days with various good:
Thy kind eye, which cannot sleep,
My defenceless hours shall keep.
5 What if death my sleep invade ?
Should I be of death afraid ?
While encircl'd by thine arm,
Death may strike, but cannot harm.
6 With thy heav'nly presence blest,
Death is live, and labour rest:
Welcome sleep or death to ime,
Still secure, for still with thee!

Let songs of praise from all below
Let heathens to their idols haste
Let not the sinner's wrath or might
Let coward guilt with pallid fear
Let not the sight thy heart dismay
Lord, who shall to thy hill ascend
Lord, let thy mercy full and free
Lord of nature, source of light

Swift glide the hours of life away
Sleep, sleep to-day, tormenting cares
Supreme and universal light

T

The Lord, the judge, his churches warns
Think not, ye just and good distress'd
The just, blest object of thy love
Thou, Lord, the just wilt still sustain
Thy providence supplies my food
To God belongs th' eternal sway
To thee, my God, to thee alone
Thine eyes in me the sheep behold
Thine eyes in me nor lofty mind
'Twas on that dark, that awful night
This feast was Jesus' high behest
To God most high, the ever blest
The starry hosts in order move
Thee will I bless, my God and king
The Lord, th' almighty monarch spake
There is a land of pure delight

The man whose heart from vice is clear
Thou who sitt'st enthron'd above

Welcome, sweet day of rest

When, as returns this solemn day
With earliest zeal, with wakeful care
Where shall I shun, great God, thine eye
Wherewith shall I approach the Lord
What fondness for his infant care

When darkness long has veil'd my mind
Wherefore should man, frail child of clay
While here as wandr'ing sheep we stray

Y

• Ye boundless realms of joy
Ve souls with pure devotion warm
