PREFACE. 
 
 Two Editions of this Work, in a somewhat different and 
 less extended form, have appeared. The acceptance these 
 met with has induced the Editor now to offer a third ; to 
 a very considerable extent re-arranged, and each part 
 having been carefully revised, while a few additional 
 Hymns have been included. For certain of these the 
 Editor alone is responsible. 
 
 The Work, such as it is, is now humbly commended 
 anew, — with earnest wishes that they may be successful 
 in storing the youthful mind with sacred truth, and 
 impressing it upon conscience, — to the attention of Sab- 
 bath School Teachers, and heads of Christian house-

 " Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast 
 perfected praise." 
 
 1 How glorious is our heavenly King, 
 
 Who reigns above the sky; 
 How shall a child presume to sing 
 His dreadful majesty ! 
 
 2 How great His power is, none can tell. 
 
 Nor think how large His grace: 
 Nor men below, nor saints that dwell 
 On high before His face. 
 
 3 Nor angels that stand round the Lord. 
 
 Can search His secret will : 
 But they obey His heavenly word, 
 And sing His praises still. 
 
A HYMNS, 
 
 4 Then let us join this holy train, 
 
 And early off 'rings bring ; 
 The mighty God will not disdain 
 To hear our voices sing. 
 
 5 Our hearts resolve, our tongues obey, 
 
 And angels shall rejoice 
 To hear their mighty Maker's praise, 
 Sung by the feeblest voice.

 " My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, Lord ; in 
 the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will 
 look up." 
 
 1 Awake my soul, and with the sun 
 Thy daily stage of duty run ; 
 Shake off dull sloth, and early rise 
 To pay thy morning sacrifice. 
 
 2 Thy precious time misspent, redeem, 
 Each present day thy last esteem ; 
 Improve thy. talent with due care ; 
 For the great day thyself prepare. 
 
 3 Let all thy converse be sincere, 
 
 Thy conscience like the noon-day clear, 
 
 Think how all-seeing God surveys 
 
 Thy secret thoughts, thy works and ways. 
 
 4 Wake and lift up thyself, my heart, 
 And with the angels bear thy part, — 
 
HYMXS. 
 
 Who all night long, unwearied sing 
 High praise to the Eternal King. 
 
 5 Glory to Thee who safe hast kept, 
 And hast refreshed me while I slept ; 
 Grant, Lord! when I from death shall wake, 
 I may of endless life partake. 
 
 6 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew, 
 Scatter my sins like evening dew ; 
 Guard my first springs of thought and will. 
 And with Thyself my spirit fill.

 All I design, or do, or say, 
 
 That all my powers, with all their might. 
 In Thy sole service may unite.

 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky. 
 We lift our hearts to God on high, 
 That He, in all we do or say, 
 Would keep us free from harm to-day. 
 
 2 May He restrain our tongues from strife, 
 
 And shield from anger's din our life, 
 
 L. M.

 And guard with watchful care our eyes 
 From looking on earth's vanities. 
 
 3 O let our inmost hearts be pure, 
 From thoughts of fol]y kept secure, 
 That we, when this day's work is done. 
 May have one step to glory won.

 All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee ; 
 Whom with the Spirit we adore, 
 For ever and for evermore.

 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night, 
 For all the blessings of the light, 
 Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, 
 Beneath the shadow of Thy wings. 
 
 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, 
 The ills that I this day have done ; 
 That with the world, myself, and Thee, 
 I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 
 
 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread 
 The grave as little as my bed ; 
 Teach me to die, that so I may 
 With joy behold the judgment day. 
 
HYMNS. 
 
 4 Now let my soul on Thee repose, 
 And let sweet sleep my eyelids close, — 
 Sleep that shall me more active make, 
 To serve my God when I awake. 
 
 5 If in the night I sleepless lie, 
 
 My soul with heavenly thoughts supply ; 
 Let not ill dreams disturb my rest, 
 Nor powers of darkness me molest. 
 
 6 Oh, may I soon in endless day 
 For ever chase dark night away ; 
 Praise Thee with the eternal choir, 
 For ever sing, and never tire ! 
 
 7 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow 
 Praise Him, all creatures here below : 
 Praise Him above, angelic host ; 
 
 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

 Jesus' blood, through Thy rich grace, 
 Every blemish can efface. 
 
 3 Keep our little household band, 
 God of mercy ! in Thy hand : — 
 Rich or poor, where'er they be, 
 Let their souls be blest by Thee. 
 
 4 Father ! grant Thy children rest I 
 Fill with peace the aching breast : 
 For the darkness give them light, 
 
 For their grief shed down delight. A. R. B.

 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, 
 It is not night if Thou art near ; 
 
 O may no earth-born cloud arise 
 
 To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 
 
 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep 
 My wearied eye-lids gently steep, 
 
 Be my last thought, how sweet to rest 
 For ever 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 If some poor wandering child of Thine, 
 Have spurned to-day the voice divine, 
 Now, Lord, the gracious work begin ; 
 Let him no more lie down in sin. 
 
 5 Watch by the sick ; enrich the poor 
 With blessings from Thy boundless store ; 
 Be every mourners sleep to-night 
 
 Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.

 Ere through the world our way we take : 
 Till in the ocean of Thy love 
 
 We lose ourselves in heaven above.

 He speaks, and in His heavenly light 
 The rolling sun stands still.

 His face we cannot flj :

 We see Him in the coming cloud, 
 And in the morning sky.

 The fiery tempest glows.

 We lean on nothing of our own : 
 The blood of Christ is all our plea,

 And may each soul, to Jesus given, 
 Feel one day's journey nearer heaven.

 He chose an humble birth; 
 Like us, unhonoured and unknown, 
 He came to dwell on earth.

 In wisdom's path of peace ;

 As years and strength increase.

 May we for ever lie.

 Take His easy yoke and follow,

 Nought but good shall e'er betide thee, 
 Safe to glory He will guide thee,
