C. M. HEGINBOTHAM. Praising God in all Changes. 1 FATHER of mercies, God of love, 2 In every period of my life Thy thoughts of love appear; 3 In all these mercies may my soul Nor let the gifts thy grace bestows 4 Teach me in time of deep distress 5 In every changing state of life, 6 Then will I close my eyes in death, 402.

MONTGOMERY. 7s. M. 61. The Soul panting for God. Ps. 42. 2 Why art thou cast down, my soul? God, thy God, shall make thee whole: Why art thou disquieted? God shall lift thy fallen head, 404. L. M.
