GLORY AND HONOUR.
39
Then let our hearts no more despond,
Our hands be weak no more;
Still let us trust our Father's love,
His wisdom still adore.

Bless Us To-Night.
Father of love and power,
Guard Thou our evening-hour,
  Shield with Thy might.
For all Thy care this day
Our grateful thanks we pay,
And to our Father pray,
  Bless us to-night.

Jesus Emmanuel,
Come in Thy love to dwell
  In hearts contrite;
For many sins we grieve,
But we Thy grace receive,
And in Thy word believe,
  Bless us to-night.

Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving holy Dove,
  Shed forth Thy light;
Heal every sinner's smart,
Still every throbbing heart,
And Thine own peace impart,
  Bless us to-night.

Glory and Honour Ascribed to the Redeemer.

Revelations i. 5–9.

To Him that loved the souls of men,
And washed us in His blood,
To royal honours raised our head,
And made us priests to God;

To Him let every tongue be praise,
And every heart be love!
All grateful honours paid on earth,
And nobler songs above!
