2 Thy kindness call'd us into life,
And all the good we know ;
Each present comfort, future hope,
Thy liberal hands bestow.

3 The friends, whose charity provides
This refuge, where to flee
From want, from ignorance and vice,
Were raised up by Thee,

4 To Thee we owe the full supply,.
Which by their hands is giv'n;
To make us useful here below,
And train our souls for heav'n.

5 May health and peace attend them here, And every joy above;

While we improve with grateful hearts,
The labor of their love..

1 HOLY, Holy, Holy Giver
Of all good, life and food;

Reign ador'd for ever.

2 Leave me not, but ever love me; Let Thy peace be my bliss.

'Till Thou hence remove me.

3 Worship, honour, thanks, and blessing, One in Three, give we Thee,

Never, never, ceasing.

Mark x. 13.

1 GREAT JEHOVAH! GOD of glory!
O let children lisp Thy name!
Humbly now we fall before Thee,
Thy almighty grace our theme;
Hosts of seraphs join'd in chorus,
Love divine proclaim on high;
Hear us, hear, O God most glorious,
While the same blest theme we try.

2 Hail IMMANUEL! once incarnate,
Bleeding, dying on the tree!
Little children Thou invitest,
Without dread to come to Thee:
At Thy word behold us coming;
May we, LORD, Thy mercy prove;
Number us among Thy children,

Thee to serve, and trust, and love.

3 "May we live to know and fear Thee,
Trust and love Thee all our days,
Then go dwell for ever near Thee,
See Thy face, and sing Thy praise."
JESUS! GOD of consolation !

Best of friends in pity move;
Bless us, LORD, with Thy salvation,
And accept our infant love.

(8-7.)

N. B. If used as an Hymn for a Charity
Sermon, instead of the four last lines,
substitute the following.

JESUS! GOD of consolation!

Raise us friends, their pity move;

Bless, O bless this congregation,

And accept their works of love.

FATHER of all, whose tender love,
Whose bounty all Thy creatures prove;
We feel Thy goodness, own Thy pow'r;
Thy hand sustains us every hour.
FATHER! receive our hymn of praise,
Nor scorn the humble strains we raise.
2 Supported by Thy gracious care,
Thy blessings here we daily share;
Our infant minds, which else would stray,
Are early taught to know Thy way:
O may we ne'er forsake the road,

Which leads to heav'n, which leads to GOD,
30 may Thy grace our hearts prepare,
Thy truth, Thy goodness to declare;
The kindness of our friends repay;
Guard them thro' life to endless day:
For them our infant hearts we raise,
Impress'd with gratitude and praise.

To be sung by the Congregation.
4 Thou GOD of grace and mercy, hear
This humble strain, this fervent pray'r;
With all Thy choicest favours bless,
And own as Thine, this rising race;
Impress Thine image on their breast,
And guide them to eternal rest.

3 HOLY SPIRIT, heav'nly Dove, Raise our hearts to joys above; Oh, may we in early days,

Grow in knowledge, chuse Thy ways. 4 Grant, if life be spared, that we, While we live, may live to Thee; When we die, be death our gain; May we die with Christ to reign.

CHORUS, by the Congregation. 5 GoD of glory, truth, and grace, Bless, oh, bless the rising race; O'er their heads Thy banner spread, In their hearts Thine influence shed. 6 Oh, that all assembled here, In Thy presence may appear; With this anthem fill the sky, "GLORY BE TO GOD ON HIGH!""

SUMMARY OF FAITH AND DUTY.

1 PRAISE GOD, the bounteous LORD, Whose goodness was display'd,

When, by His mighty word,

He our first parents made, Chorus. Holy and happy like their God,

He form'd their souls for His abode,

2 Alas, man went astray,
Forgetful of His word;
We all forsook His way,

And disobey'd our LORD:

Chorus. Our fall, our sin, our guilt we own,
Prostrate condemn'd before His throne.
3 The Son of GoD came down,
His glory laid aside;

Left His immortal crown,

And wept, and bled, and died; Chorus. Nor did abhor our flesh and blood, He died to make our peace with GOD. 4 He rose to plead our cause,

Chorus.

At GoD's right hand above;
Though we transgress'd His Laws,
Unworthy of His love.

Pardon and life thro' Him we gain,
And humbly hope with Him to reign.
5 The HOLY SPIRIT praise,
In tender mercy giv'n;
Who light and life conveys

To make us meet for heav'n.
Chorus. Author of Life, Thy grace impart,

Reform our lives, renew our heart.

May we repent, believe,

Ŏ LORD, our sins forgive:
May we the truth receive,
And to Thy glory live,

Chorus. And do Thy will, and love Thy ways;
And serve Thee truly all our days.

7 GLORY TO GOD on high,
Salvation to the LAMB;
