ALMIGHTY GOD, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto Thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in Thy name, Thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of Thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of Thy Truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.

INVOCATION.

1.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of

Glory."

1 COME, Thou Almighty King!
Help us Thy name to sing;
Help us to praise!

Father all-glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

2 Come, Thou all-gracious Lord!
By heaven and earth adored,
Our prayer attend!

Come, and Thy children bless;
Give Thy good word success;
Make Thine own holiness
On us descend!

3 Never from us depart;
Rule Thou in every heart

Hence evermore!

[31]

Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

6 & 4 s. M.

"Let there be light."

1 THOU, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight!
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the gospel ray
Sheds not its glorious day,
"Let there be light!'

2 Thou, who didst come to bring,
On Thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight!
Health to the sick in mind,
Light to the inly blind,
O, now to all mankind
"Let there be light!"

8 Descend Thou from above,
Spirit of truth and love,
Speed on Thy flight!
Move o'er the waters' face,
Bearer of hope and grace,
And in earth's darkest place
"Let there be light!'

C. M.

MORNING AND EVENING.

WATTS.

"Let them that love Him be as the sun, when he goeth forth in his

might."

1 My God, who mak'st the sun to know
His proper hour to rise;
And, to give light to all below,
Dost send him round the skies;

2 When from the chambers of the east His morning race begins,

He never tires, nor stops to rest,

But round the world he shines.

3 So, like the sun, would I fulfil
The business of the day;
Begin my work betimes, and still
March on my heavenly way.

♦ Give me, O Lord, Thy early grace,
Nor let my soul complain

That the young morning of my days
Has all been spent in vain.
