Hymnal: Compiled for the Use of Christ Church Sunday School, St. Louis

2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast!

3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

4 Come near and bless me when I wake,
Ere thro' the world my way I take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love

I lose myself, in Heaven above.

Safely through another Week.

1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day,-
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

(Rep.)

2 While we pray for pard'ning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name.
Show Thy reconciled face,

Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

3 As we meet Thy Name to praise,
Let us feel the Presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes
While we in Thy house appear:
There afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

4 May the Gospel's joyful sound

Conquer sinners, comfort saints,
Make the fruits of grace abound,

Bring relief from all complaints:
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above.

Hollister, Pt. I, p. 93.

1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.

2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire:

As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee

Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.

Hollister, Pt. I., p. 97.

3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread,

Be Thou my guide;

Bid darkness turn to-day,
Wipe sorrows tears away,
Nor let me ever stray

From Thee aside.

4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll,

Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;

Oh, bear me safe above,

A ransomed soul.

Saviour, like a Shepherd lead us.

1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us;
Much we need Thy tender care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare.

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us,,Thine we are.

2 We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,
Be the Guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,

Seek us when we go astray.

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!

Hollister, Pt. I., p. 119.

(Rep.)

Hear young children when they pray. (Rep.)

3 Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;

Thou hast mercy to relieve us,

Grace to cleanse and power to free.

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Let us early turn to Thee.

4 Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us learn Thy will;
Do Thou Lord, our only Saviour,
With Thy love our bosoms fill.

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us, love us still.

Ye Christian Heroes.

1 Ye Christian heroes, go, proclaim
Salvation in Immanuel's name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the rose of Sharon there.

2 He'll shield you with a wall of fire,
With holy zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And hush the tempest into peace.

(Rep.)

Hollister, Pt. I., p. 120.
