Known to Thee are all recesses
Of the earth and spreading skies;
Every sand the shore possesses,
Thy omniscient mind descries.

Manifest thy love for ever,
Fence us in on every side ;
In distress be our reliever,
Guard and teach, support and guide,

Let thy kind effectual grace
Turn our feet from evil ways;
Shew thyself our new Creator,
And conform us to thy nature.

Be our friend on each occasion,
God, omnipotent to save!
When we die, be our salvation;
When we're buried, be our grave.

And when from the grave we rise,
Take us up above the skies:
Seat us with thy saints in glory,
There for ever to adore Thee,

MORNING HYMN.

My soul canst thou no higher rise,
To meet thy God, than this?
Yet Lord accept my sacrifice,
Defective as it is.

Give me thyself, the only good,

And ever with me stay;

Whose faithful mercies are renewed

With each returning day.

Ah guide me with a Father's eye,
Nor from my soul depart;
But let the day-star from on high,
Illuminate my heart.

This day preserve me without sin,
Protected in thy ways;

And hear me while 1 usher in
The welcome morn with praise.

Far as the east from west remove
Each earthly vain desire;

And raise me on the wings of love —
O raise me daily hgher?

NIGHT HYMN.

Omnipresent God, whose aid
No one ever asked in vain ;
Be this night about my bed-
Every evil thought restrain.

Lay thy hand upon my soul,
Guard of my unguarded hours:
All my enemies control-

Hell, and earth, and nature's powers.

Under thy protection take-
Songs in the night season give:
Let me sleep to thee, and wake;
Let me die to thee and live.

A Course of Family Prayer

FOR

EACH DAY IN THE WEEK.

"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.".. MAT. xviii. 20.

"Praying in the Holy Ghost.".. JUDE 20.

"And the smoke of the incense, which came up with the Prayers of the Saints, ascended up before God, out of the angel's hand.".. REV. viii. 4.

SUNDAY MORNING.

(Collect before reading the Scripture.) THROUGH the riches of thy mercy, and by the power of thy sustaining goodness, we are brought in safety to see the light of another day, even the light of a new Lord's day, the best of days, the type of that glorious rest which remaineth for the people of God. Lord, send forth, and send down thy Holy Spirit into our hearts, and make thy sabbath a sabbath-day indeed to each of our souls; a day of spiritual improvement, heavenly consolation, and

near communion with thee; O satisfy us with thy mercy, and that right soon; so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our lives. Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us at this time; bless us to all the means of grace, whether public or private, in the use of which we wait for thy salvation: O let them not be as wells without water, but make them channels of divine influence, and effectual to the end for which thou hast appointed them. We desire to begin the Lord's day with the Lord, and to hallow it by the word of God and by prayer. Enable us, O thou Father of mercies, to keep it holy unto thee, and to enjoy saving communion with thee, for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.

(Here let the family raise from their supplicating posture, and all being seated, let a select portion of Holy Scripture be read; which ended, an hymn or psalm may be sung: after which the master of the family may conclude as follows,either standing or kneeling,) Let us pray:

OUR Father, which art in heaven; hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver
