466. After Sermon. 7-6."
My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. EXODUS xxxiii. 14.
O LORD, be ever near us,
Fix in our hearts thy home:
By thine appearing cheer us,
And let thy kingdom come.
Fulfil our expectation,
And give our souls to prove
Thine uttermost salvation,
Thine everlasting love!
THE LORD'S SUPPER.
467. The Dying Love of Christ. C.M.
HOW condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal SON!
Our misery reach'd his heav'nly mind,
And pity brought him down.
2 This was compassion like a God,
That when the SAVIOUR knew
The price of pardon was his blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
3 Now, though he reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great:
Well he remembers Calvary-
Nor let his saints forget.
Till we gain the heav'nly shore,
Where thy people want no more.
464. After Sermon. 4-7-5.
SOME sweet savour of thy favour
Shed abroad in ev'ry heart amma
Heaven-ward as to thee we go for
Leaving guilt and fear below; they'l
Blessing, praising without ceasing,
Bid us, LORD, depart.
465. After Sermon. 8-7-4.
LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace!
O refresh us,
Trav'lling through this wilderness!
2 Thanks we give, and adoration,"
For thy gospel's joyful sound,
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound!
May thy presence
With us evermore be found!
3 So whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heav'n,
Glad to leave our cumbrous clay,
May we, ready,
Rise and reign in endless day!

4 Here we receive repeated seals
Of JESU's dying love;
Hard is the heart that never feels
One soft affection move.
5 Here let our hearts begin to melt,
While we his death record;..
And, with our joy for pardon'd guilt,
Mourn that we pierc'd the LORD.

Go in peace. LUKE vii. 50.
LAMB of God, whose bleeding love
We now recall to mind,
Send the answer from above,
And let us mercy find,
Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From all iniquity release ;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us "go in peace!"
Let thy blood, by faith applied,
The sinner's pardon seal,
Speak us freely justified,
And all our sickness heal:
By thy passion on the tree
Let all our griefs and troubles cease ;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us "go in peace !"
3 LORD, we would not hence depart,
Till thou our wants relieve;
Write forgiveness in our heart,
And more thine image give:
May our souls still cry to thee,
Till perfected in holiness;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us, "go in peace!"
469. Christ our great High-Priest. 148th.
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. НЕВ. vii. 25.
OUR great High-Priest we sing,
His dying love adore;
We hail our rising King,
Who lives for evermore :
He only can our wants relieve,
And sinners to the utmost save.
2 Why then indulge despair,
The' sunk in deepest guilt?
We hear his voice declare,
For such his blood was spilt:
In JESU's hands my soul I leave,
For he can to the utmost save.
Believing souls, rejoice!
And on his grace depend;
The objects of his choice,
He'll love you to the end :
