Our thanks we give to those most dear,

Who labor for our weal,

To all our wants who minister

With never-tiring zeal.

This is our yearly, &c.

And shall we their kind wish deny,
Their expectations blight?

Oh! no; but earnestly we 'll try
To do whate'er is right.

This is our yearly, &c.

So when our day of youth is past,

If storms of sorrow lower,

Our hearts shall then withstand the blast
Sustained by virtue's power.
This is our yearly, &c.

THE EXHIBITION.

O God! we lift our hearts to thee,
And grateful voices raise;

We thank thee for this festive night;
Accept our humble praise.
We thank thee, &c.

Regard our Sabbath School to-night,
Our youthful efforts bless,
And give to each aspiring heart
The hope of sure success.
And give, &c.

O give us wisdom from above,

Life's various scenes to meet;
Let thy right hand direct our way,
And guide our youthful feet.
Let thy, &c.

O crown our joys with thy rich faith,
And fill our hearts with love;
Let all our hopes, subdued by grace,
Be fixed on thee above.

Let all, &c.

THE MERCY SEAT.

From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
"Tis found before the mercy seat.

There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads-
A place of all on earth most sweet;
It is the blood-bought mercy seat.

There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy seat.

There, there, on eagle wings we soar,
And sin and sense molest no more;
And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy seat.

A PASTOR WELCOMED.

We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant: so he came ;
And we receive thee in his stead.

Come as an angel, hence to guide

A band of pilgrims on their way; That, safely walking at thy side.

We never fail, nor faint, nor stray.

Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged his whole counsel to declare;
Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.

Come as a messenger of peace,

Filled with the spirit, fired with love; Live to behold our large increase, And die to meet us all above.

God speed the right.

Music from the German.

With spirit.

Now to heav'n our prayer ascending, God speed the right!
In a noble cause contending,God speed the right! S
Be that prayer again repeated, God speed the right!
Ne'er despairing, tho' defeated,God speed the right!

Be their zeal in heav'n recorded, With success on earth rewarded, Like the good and great in story,If they fail, they fail with glory,
