Hymn.

A holy air is breathing round,

According to Thy gracious word,

Affliction's faded form draws nigh,

Ages, ages have departed,

All around us, fair with flowers,

All from the sun's uprise,

Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God,

All men are equal in their birth,

All ye nations, praise the Lord,

All-seeing God! 't is Thine to know, .

Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing,
Almighty God! in humble prayer,
Almighty Spirit, now behold,

Am I a soldier of the cross,

An offering at the shrine of power,

Another day its course has run,

Another hand is beckoning us,

Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul,
As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean,
As every day Thy mercy spares,
As oft, with worn and weary feet,
As the hart, with eager looks,
As the sun's enlivening eye, .
Author of good, we rest on Thee,.
A voice from the desert, .

A voice upon the midnight air,
Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes,
Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve,
Awake, our souls, away, our fears,
A wondrous star our pioneer,

Behold the sun, how bright,

Be near us, O Father, through night's silent hour,

Beneath the shadow of the cross, .

Beneath the thick but struggling clouds,

Beneath Thy trees to-day we meet,

Be still! be still! for all around, .
Be still, my heart! these anxious cares,
Be Thou, O God, by night, by day,

Birds have their quiet rest,

Bless, O Lord, each opening year,
Blessed be Thy name forever,
Blessed, blessed are the dead,

Blest are the pure in heart,

Bread of heaven, on thee we feed,

Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest,

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,

Brother, hast thou wandered far,

Brother, the angels say,

Brother, thou art gone before us,

Brother, though from yonder sky,

Brother, will you slight the message,
Burden of shame and woe,

By cool Siloam's shady rill,

By earth hemmed in, by earth oppressed,

Call the Lord thy sure salvation, .
Calm on the bosom of thy God,
Calm on the listening ear of night,
Cheek grow pale, but heart be vigorous,
Child, amidst the flowers at play,

Christ to the young man said,

Clay to clay, and dust to dust,
Climb we the mountain afar,
Come at the morning hour,
Come, kingdom of our God, .
Come, said Jesus' sacred voice,
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Come to Jesus, O my brothers,

Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather,
"Come who will," the voice from heaven,
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish,
Come, ye who love the Lord,

Commit thou all thy griefs,

Creator of all, through whose all-seeing might,
Cross, reproach and tribulation,

Darkness o'er the world was brooding,
Dark were the paths our Master trod,.
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness,
Daughter of Zion! from the dust,

Day by day the manna fell,

Dear as Thou wast, and justly dear,

Deem not that they are blest alone,

Down the dark future, through long generations,

Earth's busy sounds, and ceaseless din,
Ere to the world again we go,

Every bird that upward springs,

Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining,
Faint the earth, and parched with drought,
Faint not, poor traveller, though the way,
Fare thee well, our fondly cherished,
Far from mortal cares retreating, .

Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,

Father, adored in worlds above,

Father and God of all mankind,

Father divine, the Saviour cried,.

Father divine, this deadening power control,

Father divine, our wants relieve,

Father! glorify Thy name,

Father, glory be to Thee,

Father in heaven to whom our hearts, .

Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling,

Father, in Thy presence now,

Father! I wait Thy word. The sun doth stand,

Father of might, my bonds I feel,

Father of spirits, humbly hent before Thee,
Father, source of every blessing,
Father, supply my every need,

Father supreme! Thou high and holy One,
Father, there is no change to live with Thee,
Father, this slumber shake,

Father! Thy paternal care,

Father! Thy wonders do not singly stand,

Father, to Thy kind love we owe,

Father! to us Thy children, humbly kneeling,

Father, united by Thy grace,

Father! we bless the gentle care,

Father! we look up to Thee,

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss,.

For mercies past we praise Thee, Lord,
Forth from the dark and stormy sky,
Forth went the heralds of the cross,
Fountain of life, and God of love,
From all that dwell below the skies,
From every fear and doubt, O Lord,
From foes that would our land devour,
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From the recesses of a lowly spirit,
From Zion's holy hill there rose,
