ADDITIONAL HYMNS.

Paths of sin and sorrow trod,

Peace and comfort no where found; Now to you my spirit turns, Turns, a fugitive unblest; Brethren! where your altar burns, O receive me into rest.

2 Lonely I no longer roam,

Like the cloud, the wind, the wave; Where you dwell shall be my home, Where you die shall be my grave: Mine the God whom you adore, Your Redeemer shall be mine; Earth can fill my heart no more Every idol I resign.

3 Tell me not of gain or loss,

Ease, enjoyment, pomp, and power; Welcome poverty and cross, Shame, reproach, affliction's hour! " Follow me!" I know thy voice; Jesus, Lord! thy steps I see; Now I take thy yoke by choice, Light thy burthen now to me.

Children's Morning Hymn.

1 THE darkness is over, the sun is on high, The lark is up singing his song in the sky; The cattle and labourers, all are abroad, And ev'ry thing's serving and praising its God. 2 I will not lie sleeping my morning away,

But try to be busy and useful as they;

I'll rise with the skylark, and join in his song, And thank God for watching me all the night long. 3 How kind God is to me, how great and how good, And for me my Saviour has shed his own blood; Lord, teach me that Saviour to love and to know, And make me more like Him, the older I grow. 4 How early He rose, to get time for his prayer, His own dearest mother He honour'd with care; And now He's in glory, He's loving to all, And will save whosoe'er shall on his name call. 8.8.6.

768 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. Isa. vi. 3. 1 THOU God of power and God of love! Whose glory fills the realms above, Thy praise archangels sing; And veil their faces while they cry, Thrice hoiy to their God most High, Thrice holy to their King
