2 Oh, when shall we triumphant

Our Lord and King behold, And walk with hearts exultant, The streets of shining gold! And swell the blissful chorus Of happy saints above, Who reached their home before us, And sing and praise and love?

3 Lord, fit us to inherit

The glory and the throne; And through the Saviour's merit, Receive us as Thine own. May we possess that treasure Unfolded in Thy word, And find seraphic pleasure For ever with the Lord

Thou canst make the blind to see; Witness, Thou, of Jesus' merit, Speak the word of power to me­Even me.

Pray to thy Father, which is in secret.- Matt. 6. 6. 1 OUR Father, God, who art in heaven, All hallowed be Thy Name;

Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, In earth and heaven the same.

2 Give us this day our daily bread; And as we those forgive

Who sin against us, so may we Forgiving grace receive.

3 Into temptation lead us not; From evil set us free;

And Thine the kingdom, Thine the power And glory ever be.
