34, 535 HYMNS. [part
Our praises, Lord, and pray’rs receive.
And to thy word a blessing give.
534.
The same.
1 "DRAISE we Him, by whose kind favour,
Heav’nly truth has reach’d our ears;
May its sweet reviving savour.
Fill our hearts, dispel our fears.
Truth—how sacred is the treasure !
Teach us. Lord, its worth to know;
Vain’s the hope, and short the pleasure.
Which from other sources flow.
2 Lord, the truth we have been hearing.
Now to ev’ry heart apply ;
In the day of thine appearing.
May we share thy people’s joy.
Till thou take us hence for ever,
Saviour, guide us with thine eye;
May this be our sole endeavour.
Thine to live and thine to die.
535.
The same. Heb. xiii. 20, 21.
1 "VTOW may He who from the dead,
’ Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.
2 May he teach us to fulfil
What is pleasing in his sight;
Perfect us in all his will.
And preserve us day and night.
5 To that dear Redeemer’s praise.
Who the cov’nant seal’d with blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.
