3 Lighten Thou our darkness,
Be Thyself our Light,
Strengthen Thou our weakness,
Spirit of all Might!

In our doubts give counsel,
In temptation aid,

Say to us in danger,

66

'Be not ye afraid !”

4 Spirit of Adoption!
Make us overflow

With Thy sevenfold blessing,
And in grace to grow;
"Into CHRIST baptizèd,"

Grant that we may be ;

Day by day, dear Spirit!

Perfected by Thee.

OUR BLEST REDEEMER, ERE HE BREATHED.

From the C. P. No. 74. P. M.

*69 0 His tender last farewell,

UR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed

A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed
With us to dwell.

2 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,

While He can find one humble heart

Wherein to rest.

3 And His that gentle voice we hear,

Soft as the breath of even,

That checks each thought, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.

4 And

every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness
Are His alone.

5 Spirit of purity and grace,

Our weakness, pitying, see:

O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And meet for Thee.

TRINITY.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! From T. S. S. H. No. 71. P. M.

YO HOLY, Holy, Holy! LORD GOD Almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;

Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty;

GOD in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity!

2 Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not

see,

Only Thou art Holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, Holy, Holy! LORD GOD Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;

Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty;

GOD in Three Persons, Blessèd Trinity! AMEN.

GLORY TO THE FATHER GIVE.

From the C. P. No. 78. 7s.

LORY to the Father give,

+71 GLO

GOD, in whom we move and live;
Children's prayers He deigns to hear,
Children's songs delight His ear.

2 Glory to the Son we bring,

CHRIST, our Prophet, Priest, and King;
Children, raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for He was slain.

3 Glory to the Holy Ghost,

He reclaims the sinner lost;
Children's minds may He inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire.

4 Glory in the highest be
To the blessed Trinity,

For the Gospel from above,

For the word that "GOD is love.'

HEAVENLY FATHER, SEND THY BLESSING.

From T. S. S. H. No. 139. 85, 7s, D.

72 HEAVE HEO

[EAVENLY Father, send Thy blessing
On Thy children gathered here,

May they all, Thy Name confessing,
Be to Thee forever dear;

May they be like Joseph, loving,
Dutiful, and chaste, and pure;
And their faith, like David, proving
Steadfast unto death endure.

2 Holy Saviour, who in meekness
Didst vouchsafe a Child to be,
Guide their steps and help their weakness,
Bless and make them like to Thee:
Bear Thy lambs when they are weary
In Thine arms and on Thy breast,
Through life's desert, dry and dreary,
Bring them to Thy heavenly rest.

3 Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them,
HOLY SPIRIT, from above,

Guide them, lead them, go before them,

Give them peace, and joy, and love:

Thy true temples, HOLY SPIRIT,
May they with Thy glory shine,
And immortal bliss inherit,

And for evermore be Thine.

ROUND THE LORD IN GLORY SEATED.
From M. C., page 59. 8s, 7s. D.

73 R

OUND the Lord in glory seated,
Cherubim and seraphim

Fill'd His Temple, and repeated
Each to each the alternate hymn.
"Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with Thy fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord."

Cho. "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with Thy fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord."

2 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
Earth takes up the angels' cry,

"Holy, holy, holy," singing,

"Lord of hosts, the Lord most High."
With His seraph train before Him,
With His holy Church below,

Thus conspire we to adore Him,

Bid we thus our anthem flow:-Cho.
