Believing that the interests of the Redeemer's kingdom would be promoted by the healing of our divisions, and that the two bodies bearing the same name, having the same Constitution, and each recognizing the other as a sound and orthodox body, according to the principles of the Confession common to both, cannot be jus- tified by any but the most imperative reasons in maintaining separate and, in some respects, rival organizations ; we are now clearly of the opinion that the Re-union of these bodies ought, as soon as the necessary steps can be taken, to be accomplished, upon the Basis hereinafter set forth. Basis. The Re-union shall be effected on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical Basis of our common Stand- ards ; the Scriptures of the Old and ]N T ew Testa- ments shall be acknowledged to be the inspired word of God, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice ; the Confession of Faith shall continue to be sincerely received and adopted as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures ; and the Govern- ment and Discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the United States shall be approved as con- taining the Principles and Rules of our polity. Final action on the foregoing Basis unanimously taken by a rising vote in each Assembly met in Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov., 1869. This Assembly having received and exam- ined the statement of the votes of the several Presbyteries on the Basis of \he Re-union of the two bodies now claiming the name and the rights of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, which Basis is in the words following viz : "The Union shall be effected on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical Basis of our common stand- ards ; the Scriptures of the Old and New Test- aments shall be acknowledged to be the inspired word of God, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice ; the Confession of Faith shall continue to be sincerely received and adopted as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures ; and the Gov- ernment and Discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the United States shall be approved as containing the principles and rules of our polity ;" — does hereby find and declare that said Basis of Union has been approved by more than two-thirds of the Presbyteries connected with this branch of the church, — and whereas, the other branch of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, now sitting in the First Presbyterian Church, [now sitting in the Third Presbyterian Church, ] in the City of Pittsburgh, has reported to this Assembly that said Basis has been approved by more than two-thirds of the Presbyteries connected with that branch of the church : Now, there- fore, we do solemnly declare that said Basis of Re-union is of binding force. INVOCATION. SHIRLAND. S. M. 1 Come, Holy Spirit, come ; Let thy bright beams arise ; Dispel the darkness from our minds, And open, Thou, our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 3 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in every part, And new-create the whole. 4 Come, Holy Spirit, come, Our minds from bondage free : Then shall we know and praise and love The Father, Son, and Thee. SICILY. Ss & 7s. 1 Come, Thou long expected Jesus, Born to set thy people free ; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee. 2 Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the saints Thou art, Dear desire of every nation, Joy of ev'ry longing heart. 3 By Thine own Eternal Spirit, Rule in all our hearts alone ; By Thine all-sufficient merit, Raise us to Thy glorious throne. NETTLETON. 8s <0 7s. 1 Come, Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace ; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by naming tongues above ; Praise the mount — Oh, fix me on it — Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Oh ! to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrained to be ! Let that grace, Lordj like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee , Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it — Prone to leave the God I love — Here's my heart — take and seal it, Seal it from Thy courts above. ITALIAN HYMN. 6s n this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all. 7 OLD HUNDREDTH. L. M. 1 All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice, Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell, Come ye before Him and rejoice. 2 Know that the Lord is God indeed ; Without our aid He did us make ; We are His ilock, He doth us feed, And for His sheep, He doth us take. 3 0, enter then His gates with praise. Approach with joy His courts unto ; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. 8 ARIEL. C. P. 31. 1 could I speak the matchless worth, could I sound the glories forth, Which in my Saviour shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings, In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted' on His throne ; In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, 1 would to everlasting days Make all His glories known. 9 WELLS. L. M. 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations ! bow with sacred joy : Know that the Lord is God alone ; He can create, and He destroy. 2 We are His people, we His care, — Our souls, and all our mortal frame : What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker ! to Thy name ? 3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs ', High as the heavens our voices raise ; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 10 BENEVENTO. 7s. 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, — When he spake, and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of peace was born, Songs of praise arose, when he Captive led captivity. 3 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 4 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death, Then, amid eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. SUPPLICATION. 11 SICILIAN HYMN. 8s & 7s. 1 Saviour ! visit thy plantation ; Grant us. Lord ! a gracious rain : All will come to desolation, I'nless Thou return again. 2 Let our mutual love be fervent, Make us prevalent in prayers ; Let each one, esteemed thy servant, Shun the world's enticing snares. 3 Break the tempter's fatal power : Turn the stony heart to flesh ; And begin, from this good hour, To revive thy work afresh. 12 WOODWORTH. X. M. 1 Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, Lamb of God, I come ! 2 Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, Lamb of God, I come ! 3 Just as I am — thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, Because thy promise I believe — O Lamb of God, I come ! 4 Just as I am — thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down ; How to be thine, yea, thine alone — Lamb of (Jod, I come ! 13 BETHANY. 6s & 4s. 1 Nearer, my God, io Thee, Nearer to Thee : E'en though it he a cross That raiseth me. Still all my song shall he, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, Daylight all gone, Darkness he over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd he Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let the way appear, Steps up to heaven ; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given, Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 14 BOYLSTON. S. 31. 1 Jesus, who knows fall well, The heart of every saint, Invites us, all our griefs to tell, To pray, and never faint. 2 Jesus, the Lord, will hear His chosen when they cry ; Yes, though He may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high. 3 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in prayer, He sees, He hears, and, from on high, Will make our cause His care, 15 ORTONVILLE. a M. 1 Oli ! for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, — A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb ! 2 The dearest idol I have known, — Whate'er that idol be, — Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 3 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame ; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb. CONSECKATIOK 16 OLIVET. 6s cC 4s. 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine ! Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away ; let me from this day Be wholly Thine. May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire ; As Thou hast died for me, may my love to Thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be- A living fire, 17 TOPLADY. 7s. 1 Rock of Ages ! cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee ; Let the water and the "blood, From Thy wounded side that flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill the law's demands ; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling ; Naked, come to Thee for dress, Helpless, look to Thee for grace ; Vile, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Saviour, or I die. 18 MARTYN. 7s. 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the raging billows roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, my Saviour ! hide, Till the storm of life is past ; Safe into the haven guide, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee ; Leave, ah ! leave me not alone ! Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is staved ; All my help from Thee I bring, Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 19 ST. THOMAS. S. 31. 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never dying soul to save And fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill, Oh, may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live ; And 0, Thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give. Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. 20 HEBER. a M. 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want, He makes me down to lie In pastures green : he leadeth me The quiet waters by. 2 My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for His own name's sake. 3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill ; For Thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still. 4 Goodness and mercj all my life Shall surely follow me ; And in God's house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be. 21 WARWICK. C. M. 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause. Or blush to speak His name ? 2 Sure I must fight, if I would reign : Increase my courage, Lord ! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 3 Tby saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die ; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 4 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine. 22 AUTUMN. 8s & 7s. 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee : Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be ; Perish every fond ambition. All I've sought, or hoped, or known ! Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still my own ! 2 Perish, earthly fame and treasure ! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain ! In Thy service, pain is pleasure ; With Thy favor, loss is gain : Oh ! 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me ; ! 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 23 SHIRLAND. S. M. 1 I love Thy kingdom, Lord ! The house of Thine abode, The church our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy church, God ! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall ; For her my prayers ascend ; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 24 STATE STREET. S. M. 1 Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace. Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the Heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away ; — A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While, like a penitent, I stand, And there confess my sin. 25 NAOMI. C, M. 1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed ? And did my Sovereign die ? Would He devote that sacred head, For such a worm as I ? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done, He groaned upon the tree ? Amazing pity ! — grace unknown ! — And love beyond degree. . 3 Bat floods of tears can ne'er repay The debt of love 1 owe ; Here, Lord ! I give myself away ; — 'Tis all that I can do. 26 WOODLAND. C. M. 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear ! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast ; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And, to the weary, rest. 3 Jesus !— my shepherd, husband, friend, My prophet, priest, and king, My Lord, my life, my way, my end,— Accept the praise I bring. 4 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought ; But, when I see Thee as Thou art. I'll praise Thee as I ought. 5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death. 27 WEBB. 7s & 6s. L Stand up I stand up for Jesus ! Ye soldiers of the Cross ; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss : " Ye that are men, new serve Him," Against unnumbered foes ; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 2 Stand up ! stand up for Jesus ! Stand in His strength alone ; The arm of flesh will fail you— Ye dare not trust your own : Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there ! 3 Stand up ! stand up for Jesus ! The strife will not be long ; This day the noise of battle, The liext the victor's song: To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be ; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally ! 28 CROSS AND CROWN. C. M. 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free ? No, there's a cross for ev'ry one, And there's a cross for me. 2 The consecrated cross I'll bear, Till death shall set me free, And then go home my crown to wear, For there's a crown for rne. 3 precious cross ! glorious crown ! resurrection day ! Ye angels, from the stars come down, And bear my soul away. 29 Portugese Hymn. lis. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent word ! What more can He say, than to you He hath said You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled. Fear not, I am with thee, Oh ! be not dismayed, I — I am thy God, and will still give thee aid ; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, Omnipotent hand. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I cannot, desert to His foes ; That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, — no. never, — no, never forsake. 30 SILVER STREET. & M. 1 Work for the Master, work '. At home and by the way ; Where'er the Lord appoints thy lot, Work, while 'tis called to-day. 2 Work for the Master, work ! From early morn 'till even ; Put forth thine energies in hope Of winning souls for heaven. 3 Work for the Master, work ! No longer plead delay : With all thy powers at once engage, Go, work, and watch, and pray 4 Work for the Master, work ! Thy toil will soon be done, And thou, with spirits of the just, Shalt shout the harvest home. FELLOWSHIP. 31 OLD HUNDRED. L. M. Written expressly for the General Assembly, hi/ F. fJe Haes Janvier. 1 Almighty God, while day by day, We falter, fail, and pass away; Thy changeless glory we adore : — Immutable forevermore. '2 Though prone to err, and disagree, And slight Thy law of harmony ; All controversy we resign, Aud pledge ourselves, in union, Thina. 3 Thine, and Thine only, would we be ; One with each other, one with Thee ; In God, the Father, God, the Son, And God, the Spirit, ever one. 4 One, in the mission we fulfill ; One, in devotion to Thy will ; One, here in fellowship and love ; One, with Thy ransomed church above. 32 DENNIS. S. M. 1 Blest are the sons of peace, Whose hearts and hopes are one ; Whose kind designs to serve and please Through all their actions run. 2 Blest is the pious house Where. zeal and friendship meet ; Their songs of praise, their mingled vows, Make their communion sweet. 3 Thus on the heavenly hills The saints are blest above, Where joy, like morning dew, distills, And all the air is love. 33 BOYLSTON. $. M. 1 Blest be the tie, that binds Our hearts in christian love ; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne, We pour our ardent prayers. Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, — Our comforts and our cares. 3 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain : But we shall still he joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 4 This glorious hope revives Our courage, hy the way ; While each, in expectation, lives, And longs to see the day. 34 ARLINGTON. C. M. 1 Oh, it is joy for those to meet Whom one communion hlends, Council to hold in converse sweet, And talk as Christian friends. 2 'Tis joy to think the angel train, Who 'mid heaven's temple shine, To seek our earthly temple deign. And in our anthems join. 3 But chief 'tis / joy to think that He, To whom His church is dear, Delights her gathered flock to see, Her joint devotions hear. 4 Then who would choose to walk abroad, While here such joys are given ; " This is indeed the house of God, And this the gate of heaven." 35 OLIVET. Gs $ 4s. 1 Behold ! how good and sweet For brethren thus to meet, With one accord ! Sweet as the fragrance spread, When, over Aaron's head, The rich perfume was shed, That pleased the Lord. 2 As Hermon's dew distills, Or that ou Zion's hills, To swell their store, — So God doth shed His grace On every dwelling place, Where love illumes the face, — Life evermore. 36 PLEYEL'S HYMN. 7s. 1 Father, hear our humble claim ; We are met in Thy great name ; In the midst do Thou appear, Manifest Thy presence here. 2 Lord, our fellowship increase ; Knit us in the bond of peace, Join our hearts, Father! join Each to each, and all to Thine. 3 Build us in one spirit up, Called in one high calling's hope. One the spirit, one the aim, One the pure baptismal flame ; 5. One the faith, and one the Lord, Whom, by heaven and earth adored, We our God and Father call ; O'er all, through all, with us all. 37 AZMON. C. M. 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine, This day with one accord, Ourselves with humble faith and joy, We yield to Thee, Lord. 2 Joined in one body may we be, One inward life partake ; One be our heart, one heavenly hope In every bosom wake. 3 In prayer, in effort, tears and toils, One wisdom be our guide : Taught by one Spirit from above, In Thee may we abide. 4 Then, when among the saints in light Our joyful spirits shine, Shall anthems of immortal praise 0, Lamb of God, be Thine. 38 WIRTH. C. M. 1 How sweet and heavenly is the sight, When those who love the Lord, In one another's peace delight, And so fulfill His word. o Let love, in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flow ; Let union sweet, and dear esteem, In every action, glow. 3 Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above ; And he's an heir of heaven who finds His bosom glow with love. 39 ST. THOMAS. & J\£. By Rev. G S. Plumley. 1 One, — 'tis a precious word, No longer rent in twain ; One in the love of Christ, the Lord, Who died and rose again. 2 One, — 'tis a word of power ; One in a saving Faith, That conquers in temptation's hour, And triumphs over death. 3 One — in the vital flood Baptized and sealed are we ; One— sharers in the Saviour's hlood That flowed on Calvary. 4 One in the covenant claim Built on God's sure decrees, One in communion, one in name, One in the promises. 5 One in that solemn hour When, passing to the tonih, Each, trusting in the Conqueror' spower, Longs wistfully for home. 6 One in the glorious day When Christ in clouds shall come ; One — marching up the shining way That leads to Heaven's hright dome. 7 One, yes, forever there Before the One in Thbee ; One, harps, and thrones, and crowns to share Throughout eternity. CHURCH PROGRESS. 40 HARWELL. 8s $ 7s. 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God ! He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for his own abode : Lord, Thy Church is still Thy dwelling, Still is precious in Thy sight, Judah's temple far excelling, Beaming with the Gospel's light. 2 See the streams of Living waters, Springing from eternal love, To supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove ! Who can faint while such a river Ever Hows his thirst t' assuage ? Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 41 LABAN. & M. 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies, Through his eternal Son. 2 Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in his mighty power, Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. 3 Stand then in His great might, With all his strength endued : And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God : 4 That having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may o'ercome through Christ along, And stand complete at last. 42 ANTIOCH. C. M. 1 Joy to the world, — the Lord is come ; Let earth receive her King ; Let ev'ry heart prepare him room, And heav'n and nature sing. 2 Joy to the earth, — the Saviour reigns ; Let men their songs employ ! While fields, and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy. 3 He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glorias of His righteousness, And wonders of His love. 43 ELTHAM. 7s. 1 Hasten, Lord ! the glorious time, When, beneath. Messiah's sway ; Every nation, every clime, Shall the gospel-call obey. 2 Mightiest kings his power shall own, Heathen tribes his name adore ; Satan and his host, o'erthrown, Bound in chains, shall hurt no more. 3 Then shall wars and tumults cease, Then be banished grief and pain ; Righteousness, and joy, and peace, Undisturbed shall ever reign. 4 Bless we then, our gracious Lord : Ever praise his glorious name ; All his mighty acts record : All his wondrous love proclaim. 44 WEBB. 7s §> 6s. 1 Hail to the Lord's anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun ! He comes to break oppression To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong ; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong, To give. them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying Were precious in his sight. 45 DUKE STREET. L. M. 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run ; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown his head ; His name, like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning's sacrifice. 3 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our king ; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen. 46 HEBRON. L. M. 1 Spirit of the living God ! In all Thy plentitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire, and hearts.of love, To preach the reconciling word ; Give power and unction from above, Where'er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Baptize the nations ; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record ; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call him — Lord. 47 ZION. 8s, 7s §> 4s. 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded, — - Zion, kept by power divine : All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine : — Happy Zion ! What a favored lot is thine. 2 Every human tie may perish, Friend to friend unfaithful prove, Mothers cease their own to cherish, Heaven and earth at last remove ; But no changes Can attend Jehovah's love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright ; But can never eease to love thee ; Thou art precious in His sight : God is with thee : — God, thine everlasting light. OUR COUNTRY. 48 AMERICA. 68 & 4s. 1 God bless our native land ! Firm may she ever stand, Through storm and night ; When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of winds and wave, Do Thou our country save By Thy great might. 2 For her our prayers shall rise To God, above the skies ; On Him we wait : Thou who art ever nigh, Guarding with watchful eye. To Thee aloud we cry, God save the State ! 49 PARK STREET. L. Jif. 1 Great God of nations ! now to Thee Our hymn of gratitude we raise : With humble heart and bending knee, We offer Thee our song of praise. 2 We praise Thee, that the gospel's light, Through all our land, its radiance sheds ; Dispels the shades of error's night, And heavenly blessings round us spreads 3 Great God ! preserve us in thy fear ; In dangers still our guardian be ; Oh ! spread thy truth's bright precepts here, Let all the people worship Thee. LORD'S SUPPER. 50 DUNDEE. C. M. 1 How sweet and awful is the place, With Christ within the doors ; While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores. 2 'Twas the same love that spread the feast, That sweetly forced us in ; Else we had still refused to taste, And perished in our sin. 3 Pity the nations, our Grod ; Constrain the earth to come ; Send Thy victorious Word abroad, And bring the strangers home. 4 We long to see Thy churches full, That all the chosen race May, with one voice, and heart, and soul, . Sing Thy redeeming grace. 51 COWPER. C. M. 1 There is a fountain, filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 Dear dying Lamb, Thy previous blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 3 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 4 Then, in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save ; When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave. 52 WINDHAM. C. M. 1 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night, When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes. 2 Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake; What love through all His actions ran ! What wondrous words of grace He spake ! 3 "This is my body, broke for sin ; Receive and eat the living food : " Then took the cup and blessed the wine ; " 'Tis the new covenant in My blood." 4 "Do this," He cried, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend ; Meet at my table, and record The love of your departed Lord. 5 Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate ; We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb. 53 HAMBURG. L. M. When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord ! that I should boast. Save in the cross of Christ, my God ; All the vain things that charm me most. I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, — from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down : Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rfah a crown ? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine That Were a tribute far too small ; Love, so amazing, so divine, Demands my life, my soul, my all. DISMISSION. ROCKINGHAM. L. M. Diswniss us with Thy blessing, Lord ! Help us to feed upon Thy word ; All that has been amiss forgive, And let Thy truth within us live. Though we are guilty, Thou art good, — Wash all our works in Jesus' blood ; Give every burdened soul release, And bid us all depart in peace. DISMISSION. 88,7s, 4s. Lord ! dismiss us with Thy blessing ; Fill our hearts with joy and peace : Let us all, Thy love possessing, 'Triumph in redeeming grace : Oh ! refresh us — Traveling through this wilderness. ThanVs we give, and adoration, For Thy Gospel's joyful sound ; Let the fruits of Thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound ; May thy presence With us evermore be found. XltTIDIEX:.
