To thee, Father, he ascends, HE PSALM CII. I, 2. F. MENDELSOHN BARTHOLDY. EAR my prayer, O Lord: and let my crying come unto thee. Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble; incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon. O PSALM CIII. 21; CXIII. 2; CXV. I. PRAISE the Lord, all ye hosts: ye servants of his that do his pleasure. Blessed be the name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give the praise: for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake. Hymns. FOR ADVENT. DR. CROTCH. BISHOP HEBER. H, Saviour, is thy promise fled? Nor longer might thy grace endure, To heal the sick and raise the dead, And preach Thy Gospel to the poor? Come, Jesus! come! return again; With brighter beam Thy servants bless, Who long to feel Thy perfect reign, And share Thy kingdom's happiness. A feeble race, by passion driven, In darkness and in doubt we roam, And lift our anxious eyes to Heaven, Our hope, our harbour, and our home. Come, Jesus! come! and as of yore The prophet went to clear Thy way, A harbinger Thy feet before, A dawning to Thy brighter day, So now may grace, with heavenly shower, HA FOR CHRISTMAS. ARK, the herald angels sing, Hark, the herald angels sing, Hark, the herald, &c. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Risen with healing in his wings : A FOR CHRISTMAS. J. READING. DESTE fideles, læti triumphantes, Natum videte Regem Angelorum: Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum, genitum non factum : Cantet nunc Io, chorus angelorum; Venite adoremus Dominum. Ergo qui natus es die hodierna, Jesu tibi sit gloria: Patris eterni Verbum caro factum; B Venite adoremus Dominum. Arranged by V. NOVELLO. FOR EPIPHANY. Treble, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. BISHOP HEber. RIGHTEST and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid! Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid' Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Vainly we offer each ample oblation; poor. JES FOR EASTER. ESUS Christ is risen to-day, Hallelujah. Hymns of praise then let us sing Hallelujah. |
