PREFACE.

MANY of the Hymns included in this Supplement are copyright, and, so far as is known, permission to use them has in every instance been sought. In a few instances, the Editor has failed to find the Authors; and, should any rights have been thus inadvertently transgressed, the Trustees of the book hope that the difficulty in which they have been placed will be accepted as their apology.

Supplemental Symus.

ཀཀཀཀཀཀ ཤ ཤ ཤ ཤ ཤ ཤཱ ཀཱ

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY: HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE FULL OF THY GLORY. GLORY BE TO THEE, O LORD MOST HIGH.

GOD THE FATHER: HIS PERFECTIONS.

7.6.

1001 Thou art the same, and Thy

years shall have no
Ps. 102. 27.

GOD, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling-place serene :
Before Thy first creations,

O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations

The Everlasting Thou!

2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows

That blossom but to die :
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory

Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail.
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blest..

4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavour
With beauty and with grace,
Till, clothed in light for ever,
We see Thee face to face:
A joy no language measures;
A fountain brimming o'er;
An endless flow of pleasures;
An ocean without shore.

H. E. BICKERSTETH. 1870.
8.8.6.

1002 So teach us to number our days,

1

that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.-Ps. 90. 12. O GOD of God dwelling-place, GOD of glory, God of grace,

Before Thy throne we bow.

Ere the vast mountains rose of yore, When they and earth shall be no more, The same, O Lord, art Thou,

2 Man's generations rise and pass

Like morning flowers or summer grass,
The creatures of Thy breath:
Our life runs onward like a stream;
We come, and vanish, as a dream,
The prey of sin and death.

3 Unnumbered ills beset our path,
Our days are darkened 'neath Thy wrath,
And yet how heedless we!

O touch with grace each erring heart,
True wisdom to each soul impart,

And win us all to Thee.

4 We sink, we perish 'neath Thy frown,
O send Thy healing mercy down
To light our coming years:
Then, be they many, be they few,
Thy grace will bear us safely through
Beyond the reach of tears.

L.M.

H. T. LYTE. 1834.

1003 The high and lofty One that in

[ocr errors]

habiteth eternity.-Isa. 57. 15.

1 LITERNAL Power, whese high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God;
Infinite length beyond the bounds
Where stars revolve their little rounds:

2 Thee while the first Archangel sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
And ranks of shining ones around
Fall worshipping and spread the ground.
3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?
We would adore our Maker too:
From sin and dust to Thee we cry,
The Great, the Holy, and the High.

4 Earth from afar has heard Thy fame,
And we have learned to lisp Thy name;
But, oh! the glories of Thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
5 God is in heaven and men below:
Be short our tunes, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits silent on our tongues.
1709.

ISAAC WATTS.
