O my God, 7

7 My rising soul sur | veys, 7 |

7 Transported | 7 with the | view, 7 | 7 I'm | lost

7 In | wonder, love and praise! 7| | |

7 To all my weak com | plaints 7 | 7 and cries

7 |

Thy 7 mercy | lent an | ear, 7 |

Ere 7 | yet my feeble | thoughts 7 | 7 had | learnt 71

7 To form themselves | 7 in | prayer. | | | I

7 With | heedless | steps 7 | 7 I ran, 7 | | Thine 7 | arm 7 | 7 un | seen 7 | 7 con | vey'd me | safe, 7 |

Thy goodness | 7 I'll pur | sue ; 7 |

7 And | after | death 7 | 7 in | distant | worlds, 7 | 7 The glorious | theme re | new. 7|||

7 When | Nature | fails, 7 | 7 and | day and night, 7།

7 Divide thy works no more, 7 |

7 My | ever | grateful | heart 7 | O | Lord, 7 |

7 Through | all eternity | | 7 to | thee 7 |
7 A joyful song 7 | 7 I'll | raise, 7 | |

7 To utter all thy | praise. 7 || !

PART OF THE BURIAL SERVICE.

(FROM THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER.)

I am the resurrection | 7 and the | life, 7 | | saith the Lord; 7|| he that be | lieveth in | me, 7 | though he were | dead, 7 | yet shall he | live; 7 7 and whoso | ever | liveth, 7 and be | lieveth in | me, 7 | 7 shall | never | die. 7 |||

7I know 7

that my Re | deemer | liveth, 7 and that he shall stand 7 | 7 at the | latter | day 7 | 7 upon the earth, 7 | | 7 and though 7 | worms de stroy this 7 body, | | yet in my | flesh 7 | 7 shall I see 7 God. 7 | | |

7 Be | hold, 7 | 7 thou hast | made my | days, 7 | 7 as it were, 7 | 7a | span 7 | long: 7 7 and mine | age 77 is even as | nothing | 7 in respect of thee; 77 and | verily | every | man 7 | living

7 is altogether | vanity: | | 7 for | man 7 |

walketh in a | vain 7 | shadow, | 7 and dis | quieteth himself | 7 in | vain: 7 | | he | heapeth | up 7 |

riches 7 and cannot | tell 7 who shall | gather them.

7 A | thousand | years 7 | 7 in | thy 7 | sight 7 | are but as | yesterday;|| seeing | that is ❘ past 7 | 7 as a watch in the | night. 7 | | | 7 As soon as thou

scatterest them | 7 they are | even as a | sleep, 7 | 7 and fade away 7 | suddenly 7 like the grass. 7 | | | 7 In the | morning | 7 it is | green, 7 | 7 and | groweth up: 7 | | but in the | evening | 7 it is |

cut 7 | down, 7 | dried 7 | up, 77 and withered. 111

7 We consume a | way 7 | 7 in thy dis | pleasure; | | and are afraid 7 | 7 at thy | wrathful | indig | nation: | 7 for | when thou art | angry, | | all our | days 77 are gone, 7|7 and we

years 77 to an

end, 7 as it were a

[ocr errors]

bring our |

tale 7 | 7 that is told. 7 || So 7 | teach us to | number our | days: 7 that we may apply our | hearts 77 unto wisdom.

Now is Christ 7 | risen from the | dead, 7 | 7 and become the first 7 | fruits 7|7 of | them that | slept; 77 for | since by | man 7 | came 7 | death, 77 by | man 7 | came 7 | also | 7 the resur | rection | 7 of the dead. 7||| As in | Adam | all 7 | die, 7 | | even 7 | so 7 in | Christ 7 | 7 shall | all be I made a | live. 7 | | |7 But | some 7 | man 7 | 7 will say, 7"How are the dead 7 | raised 7 | up? | 77 and with | what 7 | body | 7 do they come ?"

|

7 | Thou 7 | fool, 7|| that which thou | sowest | 7 is not quickened | 7 ex | cept 7 | it | die: 7 || 7 and that which thou | sowest, 7 thou sowest not | that 7 | body | 7 that | shall be, | 7 but | bare 7 | grain, 7|| 7 it may | chance of | wheat, 7 | or of some

| other | grain: 7 || 7 but | God 7 | giveth it a | body, as it hath | pleased | him; 7 | | 7 and to | every seed 77 his own 7 | body. || So, 7 | also, | 7 is the | resur | rection | 7 of the | dead: 7 | | 7 It is sown 77 in corruption: 7 it is raised | 7
