PAUSE.

And when the Burnt Offering began, the Song of the Lord began. 2 Chron. xxix. 27.

4 Christ hath redeem'd our souls with blood,
And made us kings and priests to God;
For us, for us the Lamb was slain,
Praise, everlasting praise! Amen.

384 (1st P.) C. M. Boston 159. Miall 240.

Not unto us. Psalm cxv. 1.

1 NOT unto us, but thee alone, Bless'd Lamb! be glory given ;

Here shall thy praises be begun,

And carried on in heaven.

2 The hosts of spirits now with thee
Eternal anthems sing:

To imitate them here, lo! we
Our hallelujah's bring.

3 Had we our tongues like them inspir'd,
Like theirs our songs should rise;
Like them we never should be tir'd,
But love the sacrifice.

4 Till we the veil of flesh lay down,
Accept our weaker lays;

And when we reach thy Father's throne,
We'll give thee nobler praise.

384 (2d P.) C.M, Otford 106. Missionary 257. Joying and glorying in the Lord.

1 YE saints of every rank, with joy,
To GOD your off'rings bring;

Let towns and cities, hills and vales,
With-loud Hosannas ring.

2 Let him receive the glory due

To his exalted name;

With thankful tongues, and hearts inflam'd, His wondrous deeds proclaim. 3 Praise him in elevated strains,

And make the world to know,
How great the Master whom ye serve,
And yet how gracious too.

Care cast on a compassionate God, and left at his throne.
1 Peter v. 7.

HOW gentle God's commands !
How kind his precepts are!

Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust his constant care.

2 Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?

Haste to your heavenly Father's throne,
And sweet refreshment find.

His goodness stands approv'd
Down to the present day;-
I'll drop my burden at his feet,
And bear a song away.

Our GOD for ever and ever. Psalm xlviii. 14.

1 THIS GOD is the GOD we adore, Our faithful unchangeable friend, Whose love is as large as his

power, And neither knows measure nor end:

2 'Tis JESUS, the first and the last,

Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home; We'll praise him for all that is past,

And trust him for all that's to come. 386 C. M. Newington 64. Great Milton 212. CHRIST the Burthen of the Song. 1 THOU dear Redeemer, dying Lamb! We love to hear of thee;

No music's like thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.

20 let us ever hear thy voice,
In mercy to us speak,

And in our Priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec!

3 Our JESUS shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay ;
We'll sing our JESU's lovely name,
When all things else decay.

4 When we appear in yonder cloud,
With all thy favour'd throng,

Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And CHRIST shall be our song.

Cheerfully join in one,

Praising his name ;

Sealing their peace with GOD,
Sound his dear fame abroad,

At Dismission.

1 DISMISS us with thy blessing, LORD! Help us to feed upon thy word;

All that has been amiss, forgive,
And let thy truth within us live.
2 Tho' we are guilty thou art good,
Wash all our works in Jesu's blood
Give every fetter'd soul release,'
And bid us all depart in peace.

At Dismission.

1 LORD! dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;

Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace:

O refresh us!

Travelling thro' this wilderness.
2 Thanks we give and adoration,
For thy Gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation :
In our hearts and lives abound:
May thy presence

With us evermore be found!

3- So, whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad to leave our cumbrous clay,
May we ready

Rise, and reign in endless day!

390 C. M. Bath Chapel 26. Brighton 208. Sanctification and Growth. Heb. xiii. 20, 21.

1 NOW may the GOD of peace and love,
Who from th' imprisoning grave

Restor❜d the Shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to save;

2 Thro' the rich merits of that blood
Which he on Calvary spilt,
To make th' eternal cov'nant sure
On which our hopes are built;
3 Perfect our souls in every grace
To accomplish all his will,

And all that's pleasing in his sight
Inspire us to fulfil!

4 For the great Mediator's sake,
We every blessing pray:

With glory let his name be crown'd,
Thro' heaven's eternal day!
