4 O may thy Spirit. tcach,

And make my heart receive,
Those truths which all thy servants preach,
And all thy sainis believe.

C. M.
ALMIGHTY Father, heavenly King !

Who rul'st the world above;
Accept the tribute children bring,

Of gratitude and love.
2 To thee, each morning, when we rise,

Our carly vows we'll pay;
And are the night has clos'd our eyes,

We'll thank thee for the day.
3 Our Saviour, ever good and kind,

To us his word has given;
That children such as we may find

A certain path to heaven. 4 Stretch out, O Lord, thy gracious hand,

To guide our erring youth ;
And lead us to that blissful land,

Where dwells eternal truth.

9.

S. M.
From thee, our bounteous God,

Wc every good receive ;
Thou giv'st us clothing, friends, and food,

And by thy grace we live.

2 Thy pitying eye beheld!

How wo in darkness lay;
From thee this institution came,

That we might read and pray. 30 let us greatly prize

These kind instructions given;
For now we read thy holy book,

That guides our fect to heaven. 4 O may thy Spirit bless

This learning to our good;
And may our benefactors finu

The favour of their God.

5 May we and they at las:,

At thy right hand appear ;
And when the toils of liie are past,

All meet in glory there.

10.

C. M.
I'll bless the Lord from day to day :

How good are all his ways!
Ye children comic, that used to pray.

Come, sound aloud his praise. 2 Sing, to the honour of his name,

How a poor suff'rer cried,
Nor was my hope expos'd to shamie,

Nor was iny suit denied.

3 I told the Lord my sore distress,

With heavy groans and tears ;
He gave my sharpest torments oase,

And silenc'd all my fears.
4 O children, come, and taste his love,

Come, learn his pleasant ways,
And let your own experience prove
The riches of his grace.
11.

C. M. ALMIGHTY God, while earth and hear'n

Thy pow'r and skill proclaim, Wilt thuu permit a child to sing

The honour of thy name? The early dawn of op'ning life

Has prov'd thy guardian care ; And

may I through my future years,

Thy grace and goodness sharo. 3 Now may I give myself to thec,

And in thy name confide;
Most gracious God, O deign to be
My Father, Friend, and Guide.
12.

C. M.
LORD, I would own tky tender care,

And all thy love to me;
The food I eat, the clothes I wear,

Are all bestow'd by thee.

2 'Tis thou preservest me from death

And dangers ev'ry hour;
I cannot draw another breath,

Unless thou give the pow'r. 3 My health, and friends, and parerts dear,

To me by God are givin;
I have not any blessing here,

But what is sent from heav'n. 4 Such goodness, Lord, and constant care,

A child can ne'er repay :
But may it be my daily prayer

To love theo and obey.

13.

L. M.
From all that dwell helow the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise ;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,

Through ev'ry land by cv'ry tongue. 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;

Eternal truth attends thy word ;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore

Till suns shall rise and set no more. 3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring,

In songs of praise divinoly sing ;
The great salvation loud proclaim,
And shout for joy the Saviour's name.

4 In op'ry land begin the song;

To ev'ry land the strains belong;
A cheerful sound all voices raise,
And fill the world with loudest praise.
14.

C. M.
O Lorv, our God, how wondrous great

Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thine heav'nly state

Let men and babes proclaim.
2 When I behold thy works on high,

The moon that rules the night, And stars that well adorn the sky,

Those moving worlds of light: 3 Lord, what is man, or all his race,

That dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with grace,

And love his nature so.
4 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great

Is thine exalted nane !
The glories of thy heav'nly stato
Let the whole earth proclaim.
15.

C. M.
Come, let us join our Lord to praise,

Whose mercy knows no end; To him our cheerful voices raise,

Nur Father, and our Friend.
