"Sure and certain Hope of the Resurrection.” ST. MARY'S. C. M.

WHY should we dread our mortal doom

That turns us back to clay;
And tremble at the awful tomb;
And shudder at decay?

A sure and certain hope is ours,
Which we through Christ obtain :
Cloth'd with immortal life and powers,
Our dust shall rise again;--

Rise, when the trump of God shall sound,
And death yield up his prey;

But where, my soul, shall I be found
In that tremendous day!

Now, while I feel this mortal strife,
Oh be my sins forgiven!

Then death shall prove the gate of life;
The grave my road to heaven.

On the Death of a Minister.

BRADING. L. M.

THE Pastor's voice we lov'd to hear,
But often heard, alas, in vain,

In hallow'd words of praise and prayer,
Will never bless our ear again!

Oh let us dwell with solemn thought
On all the words of truth he gave;
The lesson to the heart is brought,
When sorrow muses o'er the grave.
O Saviour, from thy holy hill
Regard our wants, and hear our cry:
Thou art our Guide and Shepherd still,
Though earthly Pastors fall and die.
When thou didst bid thy flock farewell,
Thy love could make their sorrows cease
The Spirit came with them to dwell;
Thy messenger of truth and peace.

301.

MOSCOW. P. M.

LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace :
O refresh us,

Trav'lling through this wilderness.

Thanks we give, and adoration,
For the gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound:
May thy presence

With us evermore be found.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favor,

Rest upon us from above.

Thus may we abide in union

With each other, and the Lord;

And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

GLORY to God! with joyful adoration
Sing praises, sing praises; his power proclaim:
Praise we the Lord, the strength of our salvation;
And, worshipping before him, adore his name.
Praise him for mercies; blessings ever flowing;
His love, which redeemed us from death, make known;
Praise him in life, with holy rapture glowing;
Then worship him with angels before his throne.

TO Father, Spirit, Son,
Whom angel hosts adore;
Give worship, honor, glory, power,
Both now and evermore.

DOXOLOGY. C. M.

TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore;

PRAISE God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,--
The God whom heaven's triumphant host,
And holy men on earth adore,-

Be glory as in ages past,

As now it is, and so shall last,

When time itself shall be no more.

BY angels in heaven, of ev'ry degree,
And saints upon earth, all praise be addrest,
To God in three persons, one God ever blest,
As it has been, now is, and always shall be.
