CoL 'ii. 16. TENTH THOUSAND CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION DAYTON, OHIO Copyright, 1891 and 1909, by the Christian Publishing Association The Text of the Responsive Readings in this book is taken from the American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible, copyright 1901 by Thomas Nelson & Sons, and is used by their permission. PREFACE Nearly eighteen years ago, the first edition of The Christian Hymnary was published, containing some features not before found in any book prepared for the use of our people. It was received with favor, passing through several editi( ns. Suggestions of changes in the book were made, as a result of use, and the Board of Trustees of the Christian Publishing Association, several months ago, appointed the undersigned a Committee to revise and improve the Hymnary. After several meetings, it was decided last January to make a thorough revision, necessitating new plates for the entire book, reducing the number of hymns more than one-fifth, increasing the number of Responsive Readings, and seeking to make the book, containing 445 pages, of greater service to the churches. In reducing the number of hymns, care has been exercised to retain the best, while the same aim has been kept in view in the exclusion of tunes. A few hymns have been added, most of which have been written by our own ministers, while a few tunes have been introduced, composed by Prof. Alfred M. Wilber, Rev. C. V. Strickland, and Prof. C. H, Gabriel, to whom grateful acknowledgment is hereby expressed. The music typography is larger and clearer than in the first edition, which must be a delight to the eye, while an entire hymn, as far as practicable, has been printed within the staff of each tune, a feature which is worthy of special attention. The Responsive Readings, divided into thirty-five selections of convenient length, would seem to be sufficient to serve their purpose in all congregations which include responsive reading in their order of service. The Committee feels confident that the mechanical part of the work is the very best, and that this edition of the Hymnary is such as will meet the needs of all our churches, to whose patronage the work is heartily commended. The Committee sends forth the book with the earnest desire that it may be gen- erally used, and may prove an efficient help in the service of the Lord's House. O. W. Whitelock, Chairman, C. V.

There's no place where earth -ly fail-ings Have suchkind - ly judg- ment giv'n. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. But we make his love too narrow By false limits of our own ; And we magnify his strictness With a zeal he will not own 136 St. Bgnes c. m. Caroline A.

The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment. The King's highway of holiness, I'll go, for all his paths are peace. The Highway of Holiness 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not. Till late I heard my Saviour say, Come hither, soul ; I am the way. 4 Lo, glad I come; and thou blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am ; Nothing but sin have I to give. Nothing but love shall I receive. John Cennick, 1743 194 PRAYER AND ASPIRATION 372 IRetreat l. m. Hugh Stovvell, 1832 T/ie Mercy- Seat J^4 -J -S!- ■€ 1 . Thos. Hastings *-•*- 3^: -s-- -is- T 1.

Isaac Watts 509 Receive Him in the Lord with Gladness I We bid thee welcome in the name Of Jesus, our exalted Head ; Come as a servant : so he came. And we receive thee in his stead. 3 Come as a teacher, sent from God, Charged his whole counsel to declare ; Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod, While we uphold thy hands with prayer. 4 Come as a messenger of peace, Filled with the Spirit, fired with love ; 2 Come as a watchman : take thy stand Upon the tower amid the sky, And when the sword comes on the land, Live to behold our large increase, Call us to fight, or warn to fly. And die to meet us all above. Jambs Montgomery 267 THE CHVRCH 510 Cro^IanD l. m. T/ie Same Commit Thou to Faithful Men Anon. Arr. fr. Neukomm 1. O Thou 2. We kneel 3. Since thy 4.

Has kindly conducted me home." Rev. John Ellis Note. Joseph Thomas, called the " White Pilgrim " because of his garb, was one of the pioneers of the Christian denomination, born in North CaroHna, March 7, 1791. He began preaching when only 17 years old, laboring most of his ministry as an itinerant. He was striken with smallpox at Johnsonburg, N. J., where he died April 9, 1835. 712 Dedication Hymn 1 O thou, who reign'st enthroned in light, Whom heavenly hosts obey ; Creation owns thy boundless might ; Thou rul'st with potent sway. 2 This house we dedicate to thee ; Here shall thy praise be sung ; Here may thy saints in unity Employ the tuneful tongue. 3 Here may thy sacred word be taught, Our only rule obeyed ; Here by almighty power wrought, Be wondrous grace displayed. 4 Humbled beneath thy wondrous power We at thy footstool fall ; Thine be this consecrated hour ; Thine be our lives, our all.

Come, children, come ; his voice obey; Salem's bright King has marked the way, And has a crown prepared ; O then arise and give consent, Walk in the way that Jesus went, And have the great reward. Down to old Jordan's rolling stream 5 The Baptist led the holy Lamb, And there did him baptize ; Jehovah saw his darling Son, And was well pleased with what he'd done, And owned him from the skies. Believing children, gather round, And let your joyful songs abound. With cheerful hearts arise ; See, here is water, here is room. A loving Saviour calling, "Come, O children, be baptized." "This is my Son," Jehovah cries; On him to rest the Spirit flies, "O children, hear ye him;" Hark! 'tis his voice; behold, he cries, "Repent, believe, and be baptized, And wash away your sins." Behold 1 his servant waiting stands, With willing heart and ready hands. To wait upon the bride ; Ye candidates, your hearts prepare, And let us join in solemn prayer, Down by the water side. Clement Phinmbt. "7 1 4 IReunlon IRijmn 1 Anon the wild winds blew. At length the dread storm came, The Union rent in two — Brought sorrow, grief and shame. Chorus. Rejoice, the storm is o'er. And peace and love now reign. We'll work as ne'er before. We'll rally now again. 2 War's fierce and dreadful strife Burst'forth with savage yell. And brave men yielded life. Till countless thousands fell. 3 The church was rent in twain. And Christians fell apart ; The very thought brings pain To each true brother's heart. 4 Swift time has flown since then, Our sep'rate paths we've trod, The Nation's one again. And we are one for God. 5 Let all the wide world o'er Know we are one in love, And never, never more Will strive as we have strove. 6 God haste the glorious day, When all divided bands Shall be, — as Christians say, — One host throughout all lands. Rev. D. E. Millard, D.D. Note. This hymn was written for use at the American Christian Convention, to commemorate the reunion of the Southern and Northern branches of the Christian Denomination, and was sung at Marion, Ind., Oct. ii, 1890, after a separation of thirty-six years.

Bless Jehovah, my soul ; And forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ; Who healeth all thy diseases ; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle. Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel, Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in loving- kindness. He will not always chide ; Neither will he keep his anger forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins. Nor rewarded us after our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth. So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west. So far hath he removed our trans- gressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children. So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame ; He remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass ; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; And the place thereof shall know it no more. But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children ; To such as keep his covenant. And to those that remember his precepts to do them, Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens ; And his kingdom ruleth over all. 402 RESPONSIVE RBADINQS Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Barkening unto the voice of his word. Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts. Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless Jehovah, all ye his works. In all places of his dominion ; Bless Jehovah, my soul. Selection 2 Delight in God's House How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts ! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah ; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house. And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, Jehovah of Hosts, My King and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house ; They will be still praising thee. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee ; In whose heart are the highways to Zion. Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs ; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. They go from strength to strength ; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer ; Give ear, God of Jacob. Behold, O God our shield. And look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. 1 had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield ; Jehovah will give grace and glory ; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Jehovah of hosts. Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple. For Jehovah hath chosen Zion ; He hath desired it for his habitation. This is my resting-place for ever ; 403 RESPONSIVE READINGS Here will I dwell ; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision : I will satisfy her poor with bread. Her priests also will I clothe with salvation ; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. Selection 3 Praise to the Creator Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous. Praise is comely for the upright. Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp ; Sing praises unto him with the psaltry of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song ; Play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of Jehovah is right ; And all his work is done in faithfulness. He loveth righteousness and justice : The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah. By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap : He layeth up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear Jehovah : Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done ; He commanded, and it stood fast. Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to naught. He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed be the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Jehovah looketh from heaven ; He beholdeth all the sons of men ; From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth, He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works. Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness ; RESPONSIVE READINGS To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul hath waited for Jehovah : He is our help and our shield. For our hearts shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Selection 4 Call to Praise Jehovah O sing unto Jehovah a new song : Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name ; Show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations. His marvelous works among all the peoples. For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised : He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols ; But Jehovah made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him ; Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name ; Bring an offering and come into his courts, worship Jehovah in holy array : Tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth : The world also is established that it can not be moved He will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice ; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein ; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy Before Jehovah ; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth : He will judge the world with righteousness, 405 RESPONS/VB READINGS And the peoples with his truth. sing unto Jehovah a new song ; For he hath done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him. Jehovah hath made known his salvation : His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations. He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel : All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth : Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises. Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp ; With the harp and the voice of melody. With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein ; Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together Before Jehovah ; for he cometh to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity. Selection 5 Fearless Trust in God Jehovah is my light and my salvation ; Whom shall I fear ? Jehovah is the strength of my life ; Of whom shall I be afraid ? When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear : Though war should rise against me. Even then will I be confident. One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after ; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion : In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me ; He will lift me up upon a rock. And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me ; 406 I^ESPONSIVE READINGS And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy ; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah. Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice : Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face ; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. Hide not thy face from me ; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help ; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Jehovah ; And lead me in a plain path. Because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries : For false witnesses are risen up against me. And such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living. Wait for Jehovah : Be strong, and let thy heart take courage ; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Selection 6 The Whole Creation Called to Praise Jehovah Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens ; Praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels. Praise ye him, all his host. Praise ye him, sun and moon : Praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of Jehovah ; For he commanded, and they were created. He hath also established them for ever and ever : He hath made a decree which shall not pass away. Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps ; Fire and hail, snow and vapor ; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word ; 407 RESPONSIVE READINGS Mountains and all hills ; Fruitful trees and all cedars ; Beasts and all cattle ; Creeping things and flying birds ; Kings of the earth and all peoples ; Princes and all judges of the earth ; Both young men and virgins ; Old men and children : Let them praise the name of Jehovah ; For his name alone is exalted ; His glory is above the earth and the heavens. And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints ; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of his saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him : Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people : He will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints exult in glory : Let them sing for joy upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth. Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary : Praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts : Praise him according to his excellent greatness. Let every thing that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah; Selection 7 The Security of Trust in Jehovah Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness* For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. Trust in Jehovah, and do good ; Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness. 408 RESPONSIVE READINGS Delight thyself also in Jehovah ; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart. Commit thy way unto Jehovah ; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass. And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light. And thy justice as the noonday. Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him : . Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath : Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing. For evil-doers shall be cut off ; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Jehovah upholdeth the righteous. Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect ; And their inheritance shall be for ever. For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land ; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off. Depart from evil and do good ; And dwell for evermore. For Jehovah loveth justice, and forsaketh not his saints ; They are pre- served for ever : The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice. The law of his God is in his heart ; None of his steps shall slide. Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way. And he will exalt thee to inherit the land : Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright ; For there is a happy end to the man of peace. The salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah : He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them : He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. 409 RESPONSIVE READINGS Selection 8 Praise for Jehovah's Deliverance O give thanks unto Jehovah ; for he is good ; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of Jehovah, say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary, And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men I For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he fiUeth with good. For he hath broken the gates of brass. And cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools because of their transgression. And because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of food ; And they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble. And he saveth them out of their distresses. He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving. And declare his works with singing. They that go down to the sea in ships. That do business in great waters ; These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lif teth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths Their soul melteth away because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man. And are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble. And he bringeth them out of their distresses. 410 RESPONSIVE READINGS He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they are quiet ; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders. Whoso is wise will give heed to these things ; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Selection 9 The Godly Man Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: But his delight is in the law of Jehovah ; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be Uke a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither ; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The wicked are not so. But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous ; But the way of the wicked shall perish. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle ? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill ? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart; He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend. Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor; In whose eyes a reprobate is despised. But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not ; He that putteth not out his money to interest, 411 RESPONSIVE READINGS Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be movedo Blessed is the man that f caret h Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth : The generation of the upright shall be blessed. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness : He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries. His righteousness endureth for ever. Selection 10 The Works and Word of God The heavens declare the glory of God ; And the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech. And night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language ; Their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: 412 RESPONSIVE READINGS Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned : In keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors ? Clear thou me from hidden faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins ; Let them not have dominion over me : Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer. Selection II The Law of God Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole neart. Thou hast commanded us thy precepts. That we should observe them diligently. Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes ! Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches. I will meditate on thy precepts, And have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes : I will not forget thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold Wondrous things out of thy law. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works. I cleave unto thy testimonies: Jehovah, put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments. When thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes ; And I shall keep it unto the end. 413 RESPONSIVE READINGS Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law ; Yea, I will observe it with my whole heart. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts : Quicken me in thy righteousness. I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved. Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. I will never forget thy precepts; For with them thou hast quickened me. Oh how love I thy law ! It is my meditation all the day. I have not turned aside from thine ordinances ; For thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste ! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage tor ever; For they are the rejoicing of my neari. Thy testimonies are wonderful ; Therefore doth my soul keep them. The opening of thy words giveth lignc ; It giveth understanding unto the simpie. Thy word is very pure ; Therefore thy servant loveth it. Thy testimonies are righteous for ever : Give me understanding and 1 shall live. Consider how I love thy precepts : Quicken me, Jehovah, according to thy lovingkindness. Tha sum of thy word is truth ; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for eveic Great peace have they that love thy law ; And they have no occasion of stumbling. My soul hath observed thy testimonies ; And I love them exceedingly. I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies ; For all my ways are before thee.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. Our feet are standing within thy gates, Jerusalem, Jerusalem that art builded as a city that is compact together ; Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordin- ance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ; They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, thou that sittest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress ; So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God, until he have mercy upon us.

He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shalt thou take refuge : His truth is a shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup : Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; yea I have a goodly heritage. I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel ; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons. I have set Jehovah always before me : Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall dwell in safety. For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol ; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life : In thy presence is fulness of joy ; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. I love Jehovah, because he heareth my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me. Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me : 1 found trouble and sorrow.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath : we bring our years to an end as a sigh. The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow ; For it is soon gone, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee ? So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom. Return, O Jehovah ; how long ? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants. Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness. That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity did I not hide : I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. Thou art my hiding-place ; thou wilt preserve me from trouble ; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will counsel thee with my eye upon thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked ; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous ; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Selection 25 A Sacrifice of Praise I waited patiently for Jehovah ; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay ; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God : Many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah. Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust. And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Then said I, Lo, I am come ; in the roll of the book it is written of me : I delight to do thy will, O my God ; Yea, thy law is within my heart. I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly ; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, Jehovah, thou knowest. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart ; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up ; They are more than the hairs of my head ; and my heart f aileth me. Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me ; Make haste to help me, Jehovah. Let them be put to shame and confounded together, that seek after my soul to destroy it : Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor that delight in my hurt.

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I crieJ unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear ; But verily God hath heard ; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who hath not .turned away my prayer, nor his loving- kindness from me. Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. God is unto us a God of deliverances ; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name : cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts ; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God be merciful unto us, and bless us. And cause his face to shine upon us; That thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations. Let the peoples praise thee, God; Let all the peoples praise thee. Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy ; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise thee, O God ; Let all the peoples praise thee. The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us. God will bless us ; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. 434 RESPONSIVE READINGS Selection 31 Jehovah's Omnipresence O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thoughts afar off. Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; it is high, I can not attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy pres- ence ? If I ascend up into heaven thou art there : if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me shall be night ; Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day : The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God ! how great is the sum of them ! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. Search me, O God, and know my heart ; Try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting. Jehovah, I have called upon thee ; Make haste unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee ; the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Hear my prayer, Jehovah; give ear to my suppUcations : In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant ; for in thy sight no man living is righteous. 435 RESPONSIVE READINGS I remember the days of old ; I meditate on all thy doings ; I muse on the work of thy hands. I spread forth my hands unto thee : My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah ; my spirit faileth : Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning ; for in thee do I trust ; Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk ; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Teach me to do thy will ; for thou art my God : Thy Spirit is good ; lead me in the land of uprightness. Selectton 32 Confidence in Jehovah Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me ; For I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul ; for I am godly : thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord ; For unto thee do I cry all the day long. Rejoice the soul of thy servant ; For unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive. And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer ; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee ; for thou wilt answer me. There is none like unto thee among the gods, Lord ; Neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, Lord ; And they shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O Jehovah ; I will walk in thy truth : Unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart ; And I will glorify thy name for evermore. 436 RESPONSIVE READINGS For great is thy lovingkindness toward me ; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them. But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me ; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid. Show me a token for good, that they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame. Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. Selection 33 The Beatitudes Blessed. are the poor in spirit : For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn : For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek : For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness : For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful : For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart : For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers : For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake : For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you. 437 RESPONSIVE READINQSi Selection 34 The Ten Commandments Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any- thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them ; For I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of tho fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generatioii of them that hate me, And showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain ; For Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work ; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God : In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates : For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day : Wherefore Jehovah blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's. Jesus' Summary of the Law And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets. 438 RESPONSIVE READINGS Selection 35 The Greatness of Love If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowledge ; And if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am po^-hing And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind ; Love envieth not ; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, Is not provoked, taketh not account of evil , Rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, But rejoiceth with the truth ; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away ; Whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part ; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child : Now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, darkly ; but then face to face : Now I know in part ; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three ; and the greatest of these is love. *70 SUBJECTS OF READINGS 1. Praise for Jehovah's Mercies. (Ps. 103.) 2. Delight in God's House.
