Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noon-day clear; Think how all-seeing Gop thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

STEPHEN'’'S DAY. Onward, champion, falter never, Sure of sure reward for ever, Holy Stephen, persevere; Perjured witnesses confounding, Satan's nagogme astounding By thy doctrine true and clear. Thine own Witness is in heaven, True and faithful, to thee given, Witness of thy blamelessness: By thy name a crown imp Ving. Meet it is thou shouldst be dying For the crown of righteousness. For the crown that fadeth never Bear the torturer's brief endeavour; Victory waits to end the strife: Death shall be thy life's beginning, And life's losing be the winning Of the true and better life. Filled with Gop's most Holy SPIRIT, See the heaven thou shalt inherit, Stephen, gaze into the skies: There Gob's glory steadfast viewing, Thence thy victor-strength renewing, Pant for thy eternal prize. See, as Jewish foes invade thee, See how JEsuUs stands to aid thee, Stands at Gop's right hand on high: Tell how opened heaven is shown thee, Tell how JEsus waits to own thee, Tell it with thy latest cry. As the dying Martyr kneeleth, For his murderers he appealeth, For their madness grieving sore; Then in CHRIST he sleepeth sweetly, And with CHRIST he reigneth meetly, Martyr first-fruits, evermore. Amen. 65 ‧Be thou faithful unto death, and I wwill give lhes a croun of life.“ AIRST of Martyrs, thou whose name Doth thy golden crown proclaim, Nôt of flowers that fade away Weave we this thy crown to-day.

Every wound upon thy brow Sparkles with unearthly glow; Like an Angel's is thy face Beaming witn celestial grace. 4 66 67 87. STBPHEN'S DAY.

We smite the breast, we weep in vain, In vain in ashes mourn, Unless with penitential pain The smitten soul be torn. In sorrow true then let us pray To our offended Gob, From us to turn His wrath away, And stay the uplifted rod. O Gop, our Judge and Father, deign To spare the bruisèd reed; We pray for time to turn again, For grace to turn indeed.

More sparing therefore let us make Ime words we speak, the food we take, Peny ourselves in mirth and sleep, In stricter watch our senses keep.

Remember, Lonp, though frail we be, That yet Thine handiwork are we: Nor let the honour of Thy Name Be by another put to shame. Forgive the ill that we have wrought, Increase the good that we have sought; That we at length, our wanderings o'er, May please Thee now and evermore.

If Thou reject us, who shall give Our fainting spirits strength to live? „Tis Thine alone to spare; With cleansdèd hearts to Prax aright, And find acceptance in Thy sight, Be this our lowly prayer. „Tis Thou hast blessed this solemn fast; So may its days by us be passed In self-control severe, That, when our Easter morn woe hail, Its mystic feast we may not fail To keep with conscience clear.

Fulfilled is now what David told In true prophetic song of old, How Gop the heathen's King should be; For Gop is reigning from the Tree. O Tree of glory, Tree most fair, Ordained those Holy Limbs to bear, How bright in purple robe it stood, The purple of a Saviour's Blood! Upon its arms, like balance true, He weighed the price for sinners due, The price which none but He could pay, And spoiled the spoiler of his prey.

He, our Maker, deeply grievin That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit forbidden Whose reward was death and hell, Marked e'en then this Tree the ruin Of the first tree to dispel. Thus the work for our salvation He ordainèd to be done; To the traitor's art opposing Art yet deeper than his own; Thence the remedy procuring Whence the fatal wound begun. Therefore, when at length the fulness. Of the appointed time was conie, He was sent, the world's Creator, From the FATHER'S heavenly home, And was found in human fashion, Offspring of the Virgin's womb.

Bend, O lofty Tree, thy pranches, Thy too rigid sinews bend; And awhile the stubborn hardness, Which thy birth bestowed, disena And the Limbs of neaven's high Monarch Gently on thine arms extend.

LoRp of battles, Gop of armies, He has gained the victory; He Who on the Cross did suffer, He Who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan, He by death has spoiled His foes. While He lifts His Hands in blessing, He is parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; 1 He Who walked with Gop, and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To His everlastins home. Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His Blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace.

Forthwith a tongue of fire Is seen on every brow,. Each heart receives the FATrHER'S light, The Wond's enkindling glow; The HorY GHoOST on all Is mightily outpoured, Who straight in divers tongues declare The wonders of the LoRp. While strangers of all climes Flock round from far and near, And their own tongue, wherever born, All with amazement hear. But Judah, faithless still, Denies the hand Divine; And, mocking, jeers the saints of CHRIST As full of new-made wine.

The fires, that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. And as on Israel's awe-struck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump, that Angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; So, when the SPIRIT Of our GOD Game down His flock to find, A voice from heaven was heard abroad. A rushing, mighty wind. It fllls the Church of Gobp; It fllls Tne sinful world around; Only in stubborn hearts and wills No place for It is found.

AIl light ereated paled there, And did Him eei meebt; The sun itself adored Him, And bowed before His feet; Wnile Moses and Plias, Upon the Holy Mount, The co-eternal glory Of CRHRRIST our GOD recount. O holy, wondrous vision! But what when, this life past, The beauty of Mount Tabor Shall end in heaven at last? But what when all the glory Of uncreated light Shall be the promised guerdon Of them that win the fight? Amoen. *e Lord, it is good for us to be here." THE TEANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD. 0 Lo With Moses and Elias see That light from Light's own Fount; For ever with the chosen three Would stand upon that height, And in that plesséèd company Be plunged in pure delight. For ever would we train the ear To that celestial Voice; In Thee, the SoN of GOD, so near, For evermore rejoice. Here would we pitch our constant tent, For ever here abide; And dwell in peace and full content, Dear Master, at Thy side. But no! not yet to man'tis given To rest upon that height; „Tis but a passing glimpse of heaven; We must descend and fight. Beneath the Mount is toil and pain; O CHRIST, Thy strength impart; Tin we, transfigured too, shall reign For ever where Thou art. Amen.
