The Seasons crowned with Goodness. ETERNAL source of every joy! 12 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, The sun is taught by thee to rise, Demand successive songs of praise; HA 2 A Funeral Thought. TARK! from the tombs, a mournful sound, My ears, attend the cry: Ye living men, come view the ground Princes, this clay must be your bed, 3 Great God! is this our certain doom? Still walking downward to the tomb; 4 Grant us the power of quickening To fit our souls to fly; Then when we drop this dying flesh, HYMN LV.AEES LORD of life, all praise excelling, Thou, in glory unconfined, Shrinks before thine equal sight.

These thy God ordains to bless The widow and the fatherless. 5 When thine olive plants increasing, Pour their plenty o'er thy plain, Grateful thou shalt take the blessing, But not search the bow again. Chorus. These, &c. 6 When thy favour'd vintage flowing, Warms the heart resembling thee. 8 Still the orphan and the stranger, 'Still the widow owns thy care, Screen'd by thee in every danger, Heard by thee in every prayer. Hallelujah. Amen. 15 From Christ their varied gifts derive, And, fed by him, their graces live; Whilst guarded by his potent hand, Amidst the rage of hell they stand. 6 So shall the bright succession run, Through all the courses of the sun; Whilst unborn churches, by their care, Shall rise and flourish large and fair. 7 Jesus, our Lord, their hearts shall know The spring whence all these blessings flow; Pastors and people shout his praise, Through the long round of endless days. F HYMN LVII. Prayer for Ministers. ATHER of mercies! bow thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer; We plead for those who plead for thee, Successful pleaders may they be! 2 How great their work, how vast ther charge! Do thou their anxious souls enlarge; Their best acquirements are our gain, We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then, with energy divine, bost Their words, and let those words be thine; To them thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around, Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains thy grace implore, And feel thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressed souls forget their pains! Let light through distant realms be spread, the dark Tam PANKO And Zion rear her drooping head.
