2 The King himself comes near, 3 4 One day in such a place Where thou, my God, art seen, My willing soul would stay Petersburgh.] HYMN 529. L. M. 1 ETURN, my soul, enjoy thy rest, 'R Improve the day thy God has blest, Another six days' work is done, 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns, So sweet a rest to wearied minds ; Provides a blest foretaste of heav'n, On this day more than all the sev'n. 3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, As grateful incense to the skies; And draw from Christ that sweet repose, Which none but he that feels it knows. 4 This heav'nly calm within the breast, Is the blest pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. 5 With joy, great God, thy works we scan, Creation's scene, redemption's plan, With praise we think on mercies past, With hope we future pleasures taste. 1 In holy duties let the day, In holy comforts pass away: How sweet! a Sabbath thus to spend, Berstead.] HYMN 530. 6 lines 8's. HE Saviour meets his flock to-day, And serv'd the Lord for many years, With fasting, and with many tears!

NSPIRER of the ancient seers, Who wrote from thee the sacred page, The same through all succeeding years; To us in our degenerate age, The Spirit of thy word impart, And breathe the life into our heart. 2 While now thine oracles we read, With earnest prayer and strong desire, O let thy Spirit from thee proceed, Our souls t' awaken and inspire; Our weakness help, our darkness chase, And guide us by the light of grace. 3 Whene'er in error's paths we rove, The living God through sin forsake; O may we always ready stand, Florida.] HYMN 534.
