40 may my soul on Thee repose;
And with sweet sleep mine eye lids close
Sleep that may me more vig'rous make,
To serve my GOD, when I awake.

5 Praise GOD, from whom all blessings flow, &c

PART. II. 153

BY BISHOP KENN

L. M.

LESS'D angels, while we silent lie,
You hallelujahs sing on high;
You joyful chaunt the EVER BLEST,
Before the throne, and never 1 est.

2 I with your choir celestial join
In offering up a hymn divine;
With you in heaven I hope to dwell,
And bid the night and world farewell,

8 may I always ready stand,
With my lamp burning in my hand!
May I in sight of heav'n rejoice
Whene'er I hear my SAVIOUR's voice.

4 The sun in its meridian height
Is very darkness in Thy sight:
My soul O lighten and inflame

With thoughts and love of Thy great name!
Praise God, &c.

Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet, more free than they

3 LORD of my time, whose hand hath set
New time upon my score;

Thee may I praise for all my time-
When time shall be no more.

P.M.

T

Thy children form'd and blest by Three,
With filial love and homage, we
Fall prostrate at Thy feet.

2 Thy name in hallow'd strains be sung,
Let ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue
The solemn concert join;
In loving, serving praising Thee
We find our chief felicity,

But cannot add to Thine.

3 Thy righteous, mild, and sov'reign reign,..
Throughout creation's ample plain,
Let ev'ry being own:

LORD, in our hearts, where passions tude
With fierce tumultuous rage intrude,
Erect Thy peaceful throne.

4 As angels round Thy seat above,
With joyful haste, and ardent love,
Thy blest commands fulfil ;

So let Thy creatures here below,
As far as thou hast giv'n to know,
Perform Thy sacred will.

3 On Thee we day by day depend,
Our being's Author, and its end,
Our daily wants supply;

With healthful meat our bodies feed,
Our souls sustain with living bread,
Our Souls that never die.

6 Extend Thy grace to ev'ry fault,
Each single action, word, and thought,

O let Thy love forgive h

For Thou hast taught our hearts to show
Divine forgiveness to our foe,

Nor let resentment live.

7 Where tempting snares bestrew the way,
To lead unwary minds astray,east
Permit us not to tread;
Unless Thy gracious aid appear,
T'avert the threat'ning evil near,
From our unguarded head.

8

Thy sacred Name we thus adore;
And thus Thy choicest gifts implore.i

With joyful humble mind;
Because Thy pow'r and glory prove
Thy kingdom built on wisdom, love,
Unceasing, unconfin'd.—
