SHORT HYMNS.
BOOK III.

Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep !

2 May he teach us to fulfill
What is pleasing in his sight ;
Perfect us in all his will,
And preserve us day and night !

3 To that dear Redeemer s praise,
Who the cov nant seal d with blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

101.
2 Corinthians, xiii, 14.

 
MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father s boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit s favour,
Rest upon us from above 1
Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord ;
And possess in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

102.

 
THE peace which God alone reveals,
And by his word of grace imparts,
Which only the believer feels,
Direct and keep and cheer your hearts :
And may the Holy Three in One,
The Father, Word, and Comforter,
Pour an abundant blessing down
On every soul assembled here.

103.

 
1 To thee our wants are known,
From tlice are all our pow rs ;
Accept Avhat is thine own,
And pardon what is ours :
Our praises, Lord, and pray rs receive,
And to thy word a blessing give.
