87 Morning Hymn. HALLELUJAH! fairest morning! Fairer than our words can say! Down we lay the heavy burden
Of our toil and care to-day: While this morn of joy and love Brings fresh vigor from above. 2 Sun-day, full of holy glory!
Sweetest rest-day of the soul! Light upon a world of darkness
From thy blesséd moments roll! Holy, happy, heavenly day, Thou canst charm our grief away. 3 In the gladness of God's worship We will seek our joy to-day: It is then we learn the fulness
Of the grace for which we pray: When the word of life is given, Like the Saviour's voice from heaven. 4 Let the day with thee be ended, As with thee it has begun; And thy blessing, Lord, be granted, Till earth's days and weeks are done; That at last thy servants may Keep eternal Sabbath day.
The Gates of Zion. OPEN now thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there; Where my soul in joyful duty
Waits for him who answers prayer: Oh, how blesséd is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace.
The radiant morn hath passed a -way, And spent too soon her gold
3 O Master, point thou out the way, Nor suffer thou our steps to stray; Then in that path that leads to day We follow thee.
4 Thou hast passed on before our face; Thy footsteps on the way we trace; Oh, keep us, aid us by thy grace: We follow thee.
5 Whom have we in the heaven above, Whom on this earth, save thee, to love? Still in thy light we onward move; We follow thee!
92 HAIL, sacred day of earthly rest, From toil secure and trouble free; Hail, quiet spirit, bringing peace And joy to me.
2 A holy stillness, breathing calm And peace on all the world around, Uplifts my soul, O God, to thee, Where rest is found.
3 No sound of jarring strife is heard, As now the weekly labors cease; No voice, but those that sweetly sing Sweet songs of peace.
4 Accept, O God, my hymn of praise That thou this restful day hast given, Sweet foretaste of that endless day Of rest in heaven.
Three in One, and One in Three, Ru-ler of the earth and sea, Hear us, while we lift to thee
THREE in One, and One in Three, Ruler of the earth and sea,
Hear us, while we lift to thee Holy chant and psalm.
2 Light of lights; with morning, shine; Lift on us thy light divine;
And let charity benign
Breathe on us her balm.
3 Light of lights; when falls the even, Let it close on sin forgiven; Fold us in the peace of heaven,
Shed a vesper calm.
4 Three in One, and One in Three, Darkling here we worship thee; With the saints hereafter we
Hope to bear the palm.
LORD of mercy and of might, Of mankind the life and light, Maker, Teacher, Infinite; Jesus, hear and save!
2 Strong Creator, Saviour mild, Humbled to a mortal child, Captive, beaten, bound, reviled; Jesus, hear and save!
3 Throned above celestial things, Borne aloft on angels' wings, Lord of lords, and King of kings,
Jesus, hear and save!
4 Soon to come to earth again, Judge of angels and of men, Hear us now, and hear us then, Jesus, hear and save!
A great High Priest our nature wears,-The Guar-dian of man - kind ap-pears.
WHERE high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears,— The Guardian of mankind appears.
2 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 3 Our Fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries.
4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief.
5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power,
To help us in the evil hour.
And dost thou say, "Ask what thou wilt?" Lord, I would seize the
