HYMN 193. 8 & 7. A Charity Hymn. ORD of life, all praise excelling, Thou, in glory, unconfi'd, Deign'st to make thy humble dwelling, With the poor of humble mind. 2 As thy love through all creation, 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 thy harvest yields thee pleas ure, "Thou the golden sheaf shalt bind; "To the poor belongs the treasure "Of the scatter'd ears behind.” CHORUS. "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 bough again." CHORUS.- -"These, &c." 6 "When thy favour'd vintage flowing, "Gladdens thy autumnal scene, "Own the bounteous band bestowing, "But thy vines the poor shall glean." CHORUS."These, &c." 7 Still we read thy word declaring Mercy, Lord, thine own decree; Mercy, every sorrow sharing, Warms the heart resembling thee. - May he by whose kind care we meet, Forgotten be each earthly theme, When christians see each other thus; e We only wish to speak of HIM, a Who lived-and died--and reigns-for us. e 5 We'll talk of all he did and said, 1 HYMN 197. 7s.

HART. COL. 'N A Morning Hymn. TOW the shades of night are gone; 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light, 3 Keep our haughty passions bound; 4 When our work of life is past, o Night of sin will be no more, O Sun of Righteousness divine, 2 When, to heaven's great and glorious My morning sacrifice I bring; [King, And mourning o'er my guilt and shame, Ask mercy in my Saviour's name: Then, JESUS, sprinkle with thy blood, And be my Advocate with God. 3 As every day thy mercy spares 4 When pain tranfixes every part, 5 Should poverty's consuming blow 6 Should Providence profusely pour 7 When each day's scenes and labours Not reputation, food, or health, Can give us such repose. 3 Religion should our thoughts engage, Amidst our youthful bloom; "Twill fit us for declining age, And for the awful tomb. 40 may my heart by grace renew'd, 5 Let deep repentance, faith and love, 6 Preserve me from the snares of sin, 7 Let lively hope my soul inspire; BARBY.
