Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice:
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

Jesus, the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice:
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

His kingdom cannot fail:

He rules o'er earth and heaven:
The keys of death and hell

To Christ the Lord are given :
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice :
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

He sits at God's right hand,

Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,

And fall beneath His feet:

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice:
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

WHIT-SUNDAY.

1 CPIRIT of truth! on this Thy day

SPIR

To Thee for help we cry,

To guide us through the dreary way

Of dark mortality!

2 We ask not, Lord, Thy cloven flame,
Or tongues of various tone;

But long Thy praises to proclaim
With fervour in our own.

C. M.

3 We mourn not that prophetic skill
Is found on earth no more;

Enough for us to trace Thy will
In Scripture's sacred lore.

4 When tongues shall cease, and power decay,
And knowledge empty prove,
Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay
With faith, with hope, with love!

PIRIT of mercy, truth, and love,

SPIRI

O shed Thy influence from above;
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this sacred day.

2 In every clime, by every tongue,
Be God's surpassing glory sung:
Let all the listening earth be taught
The wonders by the Saviour wrought.

3 Blest Comforter and heavenly Guide,
Still with the Church of Christ abide;
Still let our souls Thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.

OME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire!
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart :
Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.

L. M.

P. M.

2 Enable with perpetual light
The dulness of our blinded sight;
Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of Thy grace;

Keep far our foes, give peace at home:
Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come.

3 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of both, to be but One;
That through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song:
Praise to Thine eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

YOME, Holy Ghost, eternal God!
Proceeding from above,

Both from the Father and the Son,
The God of peace and love.

2 Visit our souls, into our hearts
Thy heavenly grace inspire,
That truth and godliness we may
Pursue with full desire.

3 Thou art the very Comforter
In grief and all distress;
The heavenly gift of God most high,
No tongue can it express.

4 O Holy Ghost, into our minds
Send down Thy heavenly light;
Kindle our hearts with fervent zeal,
To serve God day and night.

C. M.

COME

YOME, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above!
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.

2 The light of truth to us display,

And make us know and choose Thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,

That we from God may

ne'er depart.

3 Lead us to holiness, the road

That we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
Nor let us from Him ever stray.

4 Lead us to God, our only rest,
To be with Him for ever blest :
Lead us to heaven, that we may
Fulness of joy for ever there.

TRINITY SUNDAY.

L. M.

ATHER of heaven, whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy pardoning love extend.

2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy saving grace extend.

3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy quickening power extend.

4 Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead! Three in One!
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

WBgGod the Father's love,

E give immortal praise

For all our comforts here,

And better hopes above;

He sent His own eternal Son

To die for sins that man had done.

To God the Son belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with His blood

From everlasting woe;

148th м.

And now He lives, and now He reigns,

And sees the fruit of all His pains.

3

To God the Spirit's Name

Immortal worship give,

Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live;

His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.
