Then, in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy power to save."

Almighty Power and Majesty of God.-H. K. White. 1. "The Lord our God is clothed with might, The winds obey his will;

He speaks-and in his heavenly height
The rolling sun stands still.

2. "Rebel, ye waves-and o'er the land
With threatening aspect roar!
The Lord uplifts his awful hand,

And chains you to the shore.

8. "Howl, winds of night! your force combine!—
Without his high behest,

Ye shall not, in the mountain pine,
Disturb the sparrow's nest.

4. "His voice sublime is heard afar,
In distant peals it dies;

He yokes the whirlwinds to his car,
And sweeps the howling skies.

5. "Ye nations, bend-in reverence bend;
Ye monarchs, wait his nod,
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate our God."

Diffusion of the Gospel.- Heber.
1. "From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand;

From many an ancient river,

From many a palmy plain,

They call us to deliver

Their land from error's chain.

2. "What though the spicy breezes

Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle

Blessedness of the Righteous.-Watts.

1. "Blest are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty:

Treasures of grace to them are given,
And crowns of joy laid up in heaven.

2. "Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart:
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.

3. "Blest are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, noise and war:
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.

4. "Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness:
They shall be well supplied, and fed
With living streams and living bread.

5. "Blest are the men whose mercies move
To acts of kindness and of love:
From Christ, the Lord, shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.

6. "Blest are the pure, whose hearts are clean,
Who never tread the ways of sin:
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.

7. "Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife:
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God — the God of peace.

8. "Blest are the faithful, who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake:
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord;
Eternal life is their reward."

Christ our Example. — Anon.
1. "Behold, where, in a mortal form,
Appears each grace divine!

The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.

2. "To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,

To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.

3. "Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
He, meek and patient, stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life,
Who labored for their good.

4. "When in the hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,

With soul resigned, he bowed, and said,
'Thy will, not mine, be done!'

5. "Be Christ our pattern, and our guide,
His image may we bear!

Oh! may we tread his holy steps,—
His joy and glory share!"

The Life of Christ a Pattern.- Watts.
1. "My dear Redeemer, and my Lord,
I read my duty in thy word;
But in thy life the law appears
Drawn out in living characters.

2. "Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will,

4. "Be thou my pattern, make me bear
More of thy gracious image here;

Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb."

Confidence in God.- Addison.

1. "How are thy servants blest! O Lord,
How sure is their defence!
Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help, omnipotence.

2. "In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,

Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
