GENERAL HYMNS.

Quite through the streets with silver sound The Flood of Life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side. The Wood of Life doth grow.

There trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the Angels sit, And evermore do sing.

Our Lady sings Magnificat, With tones surpassing sweet, And all the virgins bear their part, Sitting about her feet.

Jerusalem, my happy home! Would GOD I were in thee, Would GoD my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen.

" Help us, O GOD of our salvation, for the glory of Thy Name." 215

LORD of our life, and GoD of our salvation, Star of our night, and Hope of every nation, Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication, LORD GOD Almighty.

See round Thine ark the hungry billows eurling, See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling; LORD, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us.

LORD, Thou canst help when earthly armour faileth, LORD, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth, LORD, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth, Grant us Thy peace, LORD.

Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven, Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven, Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven, Peace in Thy heaven. Amen.
