3 Thou art gone up on high;
But Thou shalt come again,
With all the armies of the sky
Attendant in Thy train.
Oh! by Thy saving power,

So make us live and die,

That we may stand in that dread hour
At Thy right hand on high!

24. WHITSUNDAY.

COME,

Holy Spirit, come,

Let Thy bright beams arise:
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us all of sin,

Then lead to Jesu's blood;
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret love of God.

3 Revive our drooping faith,

Our fears and doubts remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life on every part,
And new create the whole.

5 Spirit of adoption Thou,

Our minds from bondage free;

Then shall we know, and praise, and love The Father, Son, and Thee.

25. WHITSUNDAY.

THOU,

1 HOU, who comest from above,
Bringing light, and life, and love,
Teaching us Thy perfect way,
Giving gifts to men to-day!
Thou, who dost renew our state,
Making us regenerate,

Help us evermore to be

Faithful subjects unto Thee.

2 We are dark-be Thou our light;

1

Blind we are

-be thou our sight;
Be our comfort in distress;
Guide us through the wilderness.
To the blessed Three in One,
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Holy Ghost, arise
Praise from all below the skies.

26. TRINITY SUNDAY.

WE give immortal praise

To God the Father's love,
For all our comfort here,

And better hopes above;

He sent his own Eternal Son,

To die for sins that man had done.

C

2 To God the Son belongs

Immortal Glory too,

Who bought us with His blood
From everlasting woe;

And now He lives, and now He reigns,
And sees the fruit of all His pains.

3 To God the Spirit praise

And endless worship give,
Whose new creating power

Makes the dead sinner live:
His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

4 Almighty God! to Thee
Be endless honour done,
The sacred Persons Three,
The Godhead only one;

1

Where reason fails with all her powers,
There faith prevails, and love adores.

27. HOLY COMMUNION.

RETURN, and come to God;

Cast all your sins away;

Seek ye the Saviour's cleansing blood;
Repent, believe, obey!

2 Say not ye cannot come ;

For Jesus bled and died,

That none who ask in humble faith

Should ever be denied.

3 Say not ye will not come ;

'Tis God vouchsafes to call ; And fearful will their end be found, On whom His wrath shall fall.

4 Come, then, whoever will;

Come, while 'tis called to-day;
Seek ye the Saviour's cleansing blood,
Repent, believe, obey.

HOLY COMMUNION.

ACCORDING to Thy gracious word,

In meek humility,

This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.

2 Thy body broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be ;
Thy cup of blessing I will take,
And thus remember Thee.

3 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember Thee :-

4 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;

Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.

5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee,

1

When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.

29. HOLY COMMUNION.

COME

all who truly bear

The name of Christ your Lord,
His last mysterious supper share,
And keep His dying word.
So proved your faith shall be,
In Him, the Crucified;
"Do this in memory of Me,"

The Saviour said, and died.

2 The pledge and token this,
The sure confirming seal,
That He is ours, and we are His,
The servants of his will—
His dear and chosen ones,

The purchase of His blood-
His blood, which once for all atones,
And brings us near to God.

3 Then let us all confess

Our Lord and Master's name, Stand forth His faithful witnesses, True followers of the Lamb.

Part of His Church below,

We thus our right maintain; Our living membership we show, And in His fold remain.
