ADDITIONAL HYMNS.

2 Thee as our God we too would claim, And bless th' Almighty Saviour's name, Through whom all grace is given: Who bore the curse to sinners due, Who forms these ruin'd souls anew, And makes us heirs of heaven. 3 The veil that hides thy glory, rend, And here in saving power descend, And fix thy blest abode;

Here to each heart thyself reveal, And all who enter cause to feel The presence of our God.

769 Ye shall ask what ye will,& c. John xv. 7

1 WITH ardent longing at thy feet, Heavenly Father, here I wait:

O lend a gracious ear!

I plead the name of thy dear Son, The grace, the glory He has won; Deign, Lord, thy child to hear. 2 Grant a believing, trusting heart; A cheerful mind to me impart,

Free from guilt's galling load; A sense of pardon'd sin afford: And with thy presence bless me, Lord, My Saviour, and my God.

8 8.6.

3 O Father! me with pleasure own, The dear- bought purchase of thy Son: O Spirit! dwell with me; Guide and protect me as a child, Whom Jesu's blood has reconcil'd, And richest grace made free.

770 The coming of the Son of Man. Matt. xxiv. 27. 6-7s.

1 CHURCH of Christ! awake, arise! Let not slumber seal your eyes; Let not joy, nor grief, nor fear, Fill your heart, or close your ear: For those clouds begin to roll Which shall spread from pole to pole. 2 Church of Christ! till his dread day, All shall eat, and drink, and play, As though God nor cared nor knew What an evil world could do: Yet the wrath shall come at last, And the day of grace be past!

3 Church of Christ! like lightning's glance Flashing over heaven's expanse,
