2 On the Rock of Ages

Resting broad and deep,
When life's tempest rages
Here let passion sleep:
Here may prayer and praises
Never cease to rise,

Till, through Christ, they raise us
Nearer to the skies.

3 Here may faith attending
Find fruition fair;
Here may spirits bending
Breathe the breath of prayer:
Here may holy gladness
Fill the waiting heart,
Until sin and sadness
Evermore depart.

4 Here may every token dat

Of thy presence be,

Here may chains be broken,

Prisoners here set free:

Here may light illumine
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human
Unto the divine.

5 Here may God the Father,
God the Saviour, Son,
God the Holy Spirit,
Be adored as One;

Till the whole creation

At Thy footstool fall,
And in adoration

Own Thee Lord of all.

John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1866.

280. Founded on Thee, Our Only Lord.

German Melody: arr. by SAMUEL DYER, 1828.

3 Come, with Thy Spirit and Thy power,
The Conqueror, once the Crucified;
Our God, our Strength, our King, our Tower,
Here plant Thy throne, and here abide.

4

Accept the work our hands have wrought;
Accept, O God, this earthly shrinc;

Be Thou our Rock, our Life, our Thought,
And we, as living temples, Thine.
Samuel Francis Smith, 1894.

282. Thou Who the Night in Prayer Didst Spend.

Han lefver! o min ande känn. 88, 88, 88.

1. Thou Who the night in prayer didst spend, And then the twelve to preach didst send; may Thy pas-tors faith-ful be, Not la-b'ring for themselves, but Thee;

And bidst us pray the har-vest's Lord To send forth sow-ers of Thy Word, Give grace to feed with wholesome food The sheep and lambs bought by Thy blood;

Hear, and Thy cho-sen serv-ants bless With sev'nfold gifts of holi-ness.
Το tend Thy flock, and thus to prove How dear-ly they the Shepherd love! A - MEN.
