When we think how much we owe Thee, Lord, Thy goodness we adore; Though we but begin to know Thee, Thy kind teaching we implore; Thus instructed,
May we know and love Thee more.
3 Thanks to Thee for every blessing;
Most of all, for saving grace; Oh, may we, that grace possessing, Reach at length the blissful place Where Thy children Dwell with Thee, and see Thy face. JOHN BURTON.

Shine graciously within;
Brightest of all on earth that's bright, Come, shine away my sin! O everlasting Truth!
Truest of all that's true;
Sure guide of erring age or youth, Lead me and teach me too!
O everlasting Strength! Uphold me in the way; Bring me, in spite of foes, at length To joy, and light, and day! O everlasting Love!
Well- spring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fulness from above;
Bid doubt and trouble cease!

O everlasting Rest!
Lift off life's load of care;

Grace be with Thee.- 1 Tim. 6. 21.
MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love, With the Holy Spirit's favour, 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.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer.- Psa. 84. 8 1 LORD of power, Lord of might, God and Father of us all; Lord of day and Lord of night, Listen to our solemn call; Listen whilst to Thee we raise Songs of prayer and songs of praise.
8. BONAR
2 Light and love and life are Thine; Great Creator of all good,
Fill our souls with light divine; Give us with our daily food Blessings from Thy heavenly store, Blessings rich for evermore.
3 Graft within our heart of hearts Love undying for Thy name, Bid us, ere the day departs,
Spread afar our Maker's fame: Young and old together bless, Clothe our souls with righteousness. 4 Full of years and full of peace,
May our life on earth be blest; When our trials here shall cease, And at last we sink to rest, Fountain of eternal love, Call us to our home above.
