Praise

[Wiltshire]

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.

My soul he doth restore again;

and me to walk doth monke Within the paths of righteousness,

ev'a for his own name sake.

Yes, though I walk in death's dark vale,

yet will I fear none ill:

For thou art with me; and thy rod

And staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnished

in presence of my foes;

My head thou dost with of anoint,

and my cup overflows,

Goodness and mercy all my life

shall surely follow me:

And in God's house for evermore my dwelling-place shall be.

Praise

Safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe on his gentle breast, There, by His love o'ersbaded, Sweetly my soul shail reat.

Hark 't is the voice of angels,

Borne in a song to me,

Over the delds of glory,

Over the crystal sen!

Safe in arms of Jesus,

Safe on bis gentle breast, There, by his love o'erahaded, Sweetly my soul shall reat

Safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world's temptationa Sin cannot harm me there.— Free from the blight of sorrow,

Free from my doubts and fears,

Only a few more trials,

Only a few more tears.

Jesus, my heart's dear refuge,

Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages

Ever my trust shall be.

Here let me wait with patience,

Wait till the night is o'er, Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.

Praise

[St. Asaph]

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

whence all their white array?

How came they to the blissful sesta

of overlasting day?

Lo! these are they from sufferings great,

who came to realms of light,

And in the blood of Christ have wash'd those robes which shine so bright. Now with triumphal palms, they stand

Before the throne on high,

And serve the God they love, amidst

the glories of the sky.

His presence fills each heart with joy,

Tunes ev'ry mouth to sing:

By day, by night, the sacred courts

with glad hosannaha ring.

Hunger and thrist are felt no mQTB,

nor suas with scorching ray:

God is their sun, whose cheering beams

diffuse eternal day.

The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne

aball o'er them still preside;

Feed them with nourishment divine,

and all their footstepa guide.

'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock,

where living streams appear;

And God the Lord from ev'ry eye

shall wipe off ev'ry tear.

Benediction
