Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ...Hymn. O OMNIPOTENT, O omniscient Father, Lord of earth and sky, Hear us, penitent, Meek, obedient, Hear, O hear our humble cry We, on pleasure bent, Or on gain intent, Or by passion's dictates driven, From thy paths have stray'd, Sin's commands obey'd, And bestow'd no thought on heaven. Now to thee we turn, And with hope we burn, Gracious Lord, that thou wilt give Thy kind aid that we, Till from flesh set free, In thy faith and fear may live. LXXI. THE BLESSINGS ATTENDING THE JUST. THE man is blest who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word. Honour and peace his days attend. He hath dispersed his alms abroad--His works are still before his God--His name shall through long years descend. His lib'ral favors he extends--To some he gives to others lends--A gen'rous pity fills his mind; Yet what his charity impairs He saves by prudence in affairs, And thus he's just to all mankind. His hands, while they his alms bestow, His glory's future harvest sow. The sweet remembrance of the just, Like a green root revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs, When dying nature sleeps in dust. Beset with threat'ning dangers round, Unmoved shall he maintain his ground His conscience holds his courage up. The soul that's fUTd with virtue's light, Shines brightest in affliction's night, And sees in darkness beams of hope. LXX1I. PRAYER IN MENTAL DEPRESSION. WITH kind compassion hear my cry, O Father, Lord of life on high And on thy servant's drooping head Thy dews of blessing gently shed. Whene'er I breathe the mournful sigh, Look down with mercy's gracious eye: My sense of sorrow for my sin To springing comfort change within. To my faint soul refreshment give, And raise my mind, and bid me live; Nor let a tear mine eyes employ, ..
