In this distress the course I'd take, Is still to wait and pray;
Oh hasten, Christ, my Lord, to speak, And drive my foes away.
764 The Lord is in this,& c. Gen. xxviii. 16, 17. 112th M.
1 Lo, God is here! let us adore,
And own how dreadful is this place; Let all within us feel his power,
And silent bow before his face. Who know his power, his grace who prove, Serve him with awe, with rev'rence love. 2 Lo, God is here! Him day and night Th' united choirs of angels sing; To Him, enthron'd above all height, Heaven's host their noblest praises bring: Disdain not, Lord! our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stamm'ring tongue.
3 Being of beings! may our praise
Thy courts with grateful incense fill! Still may we stand before thy face, Still hear and do thy sovereign will! To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.
765 Persecuted, but not forsaken. 2 Cor. iv. 9.

1 0 THOU that dwell'st in the Heavens high Above yon stars, and within yon sky; Where the dazzling fields never needed light Of the sun by day, or the moon by night. 2 Though flaming millions around thee stand, For the sake of Him that's at thy right hand, Oh think on those that have cost Him dear, Now lingering in sadness and darkness here. 3 Our night is dreary, and dim is our day,
And if Thou shalt turn thy face away, We are sinful, feeble, and helpless dust, With none to look to, and none to trust. 4 The pow'rs of darkness are all abroad,
They know no Saviour, they fear no God; And we are trembling in dumb dismay, Oh, turn not Thou thy face away. 5 Thine aid, O Mighty One, we crave! Not shorten'd is thine arm to save: Let not thine anger ever burnReturn, O Lord of hosts, return!
766 Thy people shall be my people. Ruth i. 16, 17. D. 7s.
1 PEOPLE of the living God! I have sought the world around,
