It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to SWEET is the work, my God, my King, 2 My heart shall triumph in my LORD, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace how bright they shine, How deep thy counsels! how divine! 3 LORD, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand In gardens planted by thine hand; } Let me within thy courts be seen, Like cedar fresh and green, a young 4 There grow thy saints in faith and love, Blest with thine influence from above; Time that doth all things else impair, Still makes them flourish strong and fair, 5 The plants of grace shall ever live; Nature decays but grace must thrive; Laden with fruits of age they show The LORD is holy, just, and true. 431. The Lord's Day Morning, C.M. TO-DAY GOD bids the faithful rest, 2 Come, let us leave the things of earth, 3 Freely invited, lo! we come, We come diseas'd, and faint, and sick, 4 We thirst, and fly to thee, O Lord, 5 Amidst th' assembly of thy saints With them in humble pray'r unite, 6 Let thy good Spirit help our souls 2 432 The Lord's Day Evening.

O spare the soul 5 Thy Spirit, O my Father! give, 433. Lord's Day Evening. L.M. GOD is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints. PSALM IXXXIX. 7., om d 1 LORD, how delightful 'tis to see T At once they sing, at once they pray!

Before Prayer. L.M. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.-EPH. vi. 18. COME, HOLY SPIRIT, calm my mind, And fit me to approach my GoD: : Remove each vain, each worldly thought, And lead me to thy blest abode. 2 Hast thou imparted to my soul A living spark of heav'nly fire? O kindle now the sacred flame, With ardent zeal my soul inspire! 80 make my wand'ring heart to feel The love that CHRIST to sinners bore: Then mourn the wounds my sins proAnd my redeeming GoD adore.
