hymin LI. Thine Eyes shall see the King in his , Beauty. Isaiah, xxxiii. 17. HOULD nature's charms to please the eye, In sweet assemblage join, All mature's charms would droop and die, Jesus, compared with thine. 2 Vain were her fairest beams display'd, And vain her blooming store; Her brightness languishes to shade, Her beauty is no more. 3 But ah, how far from mortal sight The Lord of glory dwells! A veil of interposing might His radiant face conceals. 3 O could my longing spirit rise On strong immortal wing, And reach thy palace in the skies, My Saviour and my King! 5 There thousands worship at thy feet, And there (divine employ!) The triumphs of thy love repeat, In songs of endless joy. . 5 Thy presence beams eternal day O'er all the blissful place; Who would not drop this load of clay, And die to see thy face :

HYMN LII. The Excellency and Sufficiency of the | Scriptures. ATHER of mercies! in thy word What endless glory shines: For ever be thy mame adored | For these celestial lines. 2 Here may the wretched sons of want | Exhaustless riches find ; Riches above what earth can grant, | And lasting as the mind. 3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, | And yields a free repast, Sublimer sweets than nature knows Invite the longing taste. ! Here the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heavenly peace around; And life, and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 5 O may these heavenly pages be My ever dear delight; And still new beauties may I see, - And still increasing light. 3 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, Be thou for ever near;. Teach me to love thy sacred word, And view my Saviour there. HYMN LIII. The Seasons crowned with Goodness. . Psalm lxv. 11. Eğ. source of every joy! Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, I'e hail thee, sov’reign of the year.

2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll,
Thy hand, supports and guides the
whole:
The sun is taught by thee to rise,
And darkness when to veil the skies.
3 The flowery spring, at thy command,
Perfumes the air, and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigour shine
To raise the corn and cheer the vime.
4 Thy hand in autumn richly pours
Through all our coast redundant stores;
And winters, soften’d by thy care,
No more the face of horror wear.
5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and
davs
Demand successive songs of praise;
And be the grateful homage paid,
With morning light and evening shade.
6 Here in thy house let incense rise,
And circling sabbaths bless our eyes,
Till to those lofty heights we soar,
Where days and years revolve no more.

A Funeral Thought. HAR#. from the tombs, a mournful sound, My ears, attend the cry: ‘Ye living men, come view the ground “Where you must shortly lie. 2 * Princes, this clay must be your bed, * In spite of all your towers: “The tall, the wise, the reverend head “Must lie as low as ours.” 3 Great God! is this our certain doom? And are we still secure? Still walking downward to the tomb; And yet o no more? 4 Grant us the power of quickening grace, To fit our souls to fly; Then when we drop this dying flesh, We'll rise above the sky.

HYMN LV.
A Charity Hymn.
ORD of life, all praise excelling,
Thou, in glory unconfined,
Deign'st to make thy humble dwelling
With the poor of humble mind.
2 As thy love, through all creation,
Beams like thy diffusive light;
So the scorn’d and humble station
Shrinks before thine equal sight.
3 Thus thy care, for all providing,
Warm'd thy faithful prophet's tongue;
Who, the lot of all deciding,
To thy chosen Israel sung:
4. When thine harvest yields thee plea-
sure,
Thou the golden sheaf shalt bind;
To the poor belongs the treasure
Qf the scatter'd ears behind.

* Whenever the Hymns are used at the celebration of divine service, a certain tions of the Psalms of David in metre shall also be sung. .
