HYMN 109.

Soon shall the ev'ning star with silver ray,
Shed its mild lustre on this sacred day;
Resume we then, ere sleep and silence
reign, The rites that holiness and Heav'n ordain.

Still let each awful truth our thoughts engage,
That shines reveal'd on inspiration's page;
Nor those blest hours in vain amusement waste
Which all who mis-spend shall lament at last.

Here humbly let us hope our Maker's smile
Will crown with meet success our weekly toil;
And here, on each returning Sabbath, join
In pray'r, in penitence and praise divine.

Father of Heav'n in whom our hopes confide,
Whose pow'r protects us, and whose precepts guide,
In life our Guardian, and in death our Friend,
Glory supreme be Thine till time shall end.
