OCEAN. 7s & 6s.

1. The ro

From the Psalmodist.

sy light is dawn- ing Up - on the moun-tain's brow:

18 the Sabbath morning, Arise, and pay thy vow,

Arise, and pay thy vow.

72. 7s & 6s.

2. Lift up thy voice to heaven
In sacred praise and prayer,
While unto thee is given

The light of life to share.

3. The landscape, lately shrouded
By evening's paler ray,

Smiles beauteous and unclouded
Before the eye of day.

CHROME. 11s & 8s.

4. So let our souls, benighted
Too long in folly's shade,
By thy kind smiles be lighted
To joys that never fade.

5. O see those waters streaming
In crystal purity;

While earth, with verdure teeming,
Gives rapture to the eye.

6. Let rivers of salvation
In larger currents flow,
Till every tribe and nation
Their healing virtues know.
T. HASTINGS.

1. Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth? Oh! serve Him with gladness and fear;

Exult in His presence with mu-sic and mirth, With love and de-vo-tion draw near.

73. lls & 8s.

2. Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,

Creator and Ruler o'er all;

And we are His people-His sceptre we own; His sheep, and we follow His call.

3. Oh! enter his gates with thanksgiving and song, Your vows in His temple proclaim;

His praise in melodious accordance prolong,
And bless His adorable naine.

4. For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,
And we are the work of His hand;
His mercy and truth from eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand.

MONTGOMERY.

1. What glo-ry gilds the sa-cred page, Ma -jes -tic, like the sun;

9:2

It gives a light to

ev-ery age; It gives, but borrows none, It gives, but borrows none, It gives, but, &c.

76. C. M.

1. LAMP of our feet! whereby we trace
Our path, when wont to stray;
Stream from the Fount of heavenly grace!
Brook by the traveler's way!

2. Bread of our souls! whereon we feed;
True manna from on high!

Our guide, our chart! wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky.

3. Pillar of fire, through watches dark!
Or radiant cloud by day!

When waves would whelm our tossing bark,
Our anchor and our stay!

4. Childhood's preceptor! manhood's trust! Old age's firm ally!

Our hope, when we go down to dust,
Of immortality!

77. C. M.

BARTON.

1. LADEN with guilt, and full of fears,
I fly to Thee, my Lord;
And not a ray of hope appears,
But in Thy written word.

2. The volume of my Father's grace
Does all my grief assuage;
Here I behold my Saviour's face
In almost ev'ry page.

3. This is the field where hidden lies
The pearl of price unknown;
That merchant is divinely wise
Who makes the pearl his own.

4. This is the judge that ends the strife
Where wit and reason fail;

My guide to everlasting life

Through all this gloomy vale. WATTS.

1. The heavens declare thy glory, Lord! In every star thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold thy

word, We read thy name in fairer lines; 2. The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and

d.d

days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace.

78. L. M.

3. Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race

It touched and glanced on every land. 4. Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest

Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations bless'd That see the light, or feel the sun. 5. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise;

Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy Gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right. 6. Thy noblest wonders here we view

In souls renewed, and sins forgiven; Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make Thy word my guide to heaven.

1. THE starry firmament on high,
And all the glories of the sky,
Yet shine not to Thy praise, O Lord,
So brightly as Thy written word.

2. The hopes that holy word supplies,
Its truths divine and precepts wise-
In each a heavenly beam I see,
And every beam conducts to Thee.
3. Almighty Lord! the sun shall fail,
The moon forget her nightly tale,
And deepest silence hush on high
The radiant chorus of the sky-

4. But fixed for everlasting years,

Unmoved amid the wreck of spheres,
Thy word shall shine in cloudless day
When heaven and earth have passed away.
SIR R. GRANT.

And all the joys we mor-tals know, From thine ex - haust less fountain flow.

81. L. M.

2. A sacred spring, at Thy command,
From Zion's mount, in Canaan's land,
Beside Thy temple, cleaves the ground,
And pours its limpid stream around.

3. The limpid stream, with sudden force,
Swells to a river in its course;
Through desert realms its windings play,
And scatter blessings all the way.

4. Close by its banks, in order fair,
The blooming trees of life appear;
Their blossoms fragrant odors give,
And on their fruit the nations live.

5. Flow, wondrous stream, with glory crowned,
Flow on to earth's remotest bound;
And bear us, on thy gentle wave,
To Him who all thy virtues gave.

DODDRIDGE.

82. L. M. Peculiar. *

1. SINCE first Thy word awaked my heart
Like light new dawning o'er me,
Where'er I turn my eyes Thou art
All light and love before me.

2. Naught else I feel, or hear, or see,
All bonds of earth I sever;
Thee, Oh my Lord, and only Thee,
I live for, now, and ever.

3. Like him whose fetters dropped away
When light shone o'er his prison,
My soul, now touch'd by mercy's ray,
Hath from its chains arisen.

6. Mankind shall be one brotherhood;
One human soul shall fill the earth,
And God shall say, "The world is good.
As in the day I gave it birth."

* Sung to Pilesgrove by slurring all the notes in measures (8) and (16).
