Christ Desired.
1 Come, O thou universal good!
Balm of the wounded conscience, come!
The hungry, dying spirit's food; The weary, wand'ring pilgrim's home; Haven to take the shipwrecked in, My everlasting rest from sin!
2 Come, O my comfort and delight!
My strength and health, and shield, and sun My boast, my confidence, and might, My joy, my glory, and my crown; My gospel-hope, my calling's prize, My tree of life, my paradise.
436. C. M. Newton.
"Unto you who believe he is precious."
1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, It calms the troubled breast; 'T is manna to the hungry soul, And, to the weary, rest.
3 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought, But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought.
4 Till then I would thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.
437. 11s. M. Mrs. Hale.
The Lord's Prayer.
1 Our Father in heaven, we hallow thy name!
May thy kingdom holy on earth be the same!
O give to us daily our portion of bread; It is from thy bounty that all must be fed.
2 Forgive our transgressions, and teach us to know That humble compa.s.sion which pardons each foe: Keep us from temptation, from weakness and sin, And thine be the glory forever--Amen.
438. C. M. T. Whittemore.
The Same.
1 Our Father, who in heaven art, All hallowed be thy name: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, On earth, in heaven the same.
2 Give us this day our daily bread, Our debts, O Lord, forgive, As we forgive our enemies And thus obedient live.
3 Into temptation lead us not, From evil keep us clean; Thine is the kingdom, glory, power Forevermore, Amen.
439. S. M. Montgomery.
The Same.
1 Our heavenly Father, hear The prayer we offer now:-- Thy name be hallowed far and near, To thee all nations bow.
2 Thy kingdom come; thy will On earth be done in love, As saints and seraphim fulfil Thy perfect law above.
3 Our daily bread supply, While by thy word we live; The guilt of our iniquity Forgive, as we forgive.
4 From dark temptation's power Our feeble hearts defend; Deliver in the evil hour, And guide us to the end.
5 Thine, then, forever be Glory and power divine; The sceptre, throne, and majesty Of heaven and earth are thine.
440. C. M. Anonymous.
The Lord's Prayer.
1 O Thou, enthroned in worlds above, Our Father and our Friend!
Lo, at the footstool of thy love, Thy children humbly bend.
2 All reverence to thy name be given; Thy kingdom wide displayed; And, as thy will is done in heaven, Be it on earth obeyed.
3 Our table may thy bounty spread, From thine exhaustless store, From day to day with daily bread,-- Nor would we ask for more.
4 That pardon we to others give, Do thou to us extend; From all temptation, Lord, relieve; From every ill defend.
5 And now to thee belong, Most High, The kingdom, glory, power, Through the broad earth and s.p.a.cious sky, Both now and evermore.
441. 10s. M. Dr. Johnson.
From Boethius.
