2 Let thy eternal truths, we pray, Dwell richly in each heart; That from the safe and narrow way We never may depart.

3 Lord, from thy word remove the seal, Unfold its hidden store;

And teach us, as we read, to feel Its value more and more.

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

Teach me thy statutes. Ps. cxix. 12. BEFORE thy mercy- seat, O Lord! Behold thy servants stand, To ask the knowledge of thy word, The guidance of thy hand.

4 Help us to see a Saviour's love Shining in ev'ry page;

And let the thought of joys above Our inmost souls engage.

5 Thus, while thy word our footsteps guides, Oh may we safely go

To those fair realms where love provides A final rest from woe!

I hear thy word with love, And I would fain obey: Send thy good Spirit from above of To guide me, lest I stray.

S. M.

It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. How perfect is thy word! And all thy judgments just! For ever sure thy promise, Lord, And men securely trust.
