HYMN 179.

1 PRAISING God in songs divine,
Angels and Archangels join;
We, with them, our voices raise,
Echoing Thine eternal praise.
2 Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!

Live by Heav'n and Earth ador'd.
Full of Thee, they ever cry,

Glory be to God on high!"

HYMN 180.

1 LORD, help us on Thy word to feed;
In peace dismiss us hence;
Be Thou, in every time of need,
Our refuge and defence.

2 We now desire to bless Thy name,
And in our hearts record,

And with our thankful tongues proclaim
The goodness of the Lord.

HYMN 181.

1 OF Thy love some gracious token
Grant, us Lord, before we go:
Bless thy word which has been spoken,
Life and peace on all bestow.
When we join the world again,
May our hearts with Thee remain;
Oh, direct us, and protect us,
Till we reach that happy shore
Where thy people want no more.

HYMN 182.

1 MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above!
Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord;
And possess in sweet communion
Joys which earth cannot afford.

HYMN 183.

1 TO God be glory, peace on earth,
To all mankind good-will;

We bless, we praise, we worship Thee,
And glorify Thee still.

2 And thanks for Thy great glory give,
That fills our souls with light;

O Lord! God! heav'nly King! the God
And Father of all might.

3 And Thou, begotten Son of God,
Before all time begun;

O Jesus Christ! God, Lamb of God!
The Father's only Son!

4 Have mercy, Thou that tak'st the sins Of all the world away!

Have mercy, Saviour of mankind,
And here us when we pray!

5 O Thou, who sitt'st at God's right hand, Upon the Father's throne,

Have mercy on us, Thou, O Christ,
Who art the Holy One!

6 Thou, Lord,-who with the Holy Ghost,
Whom earth and heav'n adore,
In glory of the Father art
Most High. for evermore.
