Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.

How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! Oh, for a heart that never sins! Oh, for a soul washed white! Oh, for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace. Beyond our best desire. Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord, And by thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from thy grace, Nor fail to reach our crown! Scripture: Revelation 3:11 Used With Tune: CASTLE RISING

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light! 2 The day is gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. 3 Grant us, O Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, With purity and inward peace. 4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Let not our works with self be soiled, Nor in unsimple ways ensnared. 5 Do more than pardon; give us joy, Sweet fear, and sober liberty. And loving hearts without alloy, That only long to be like Thee. 6 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad! Thou art our Jesus and our all.

Your throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; your rule remains and grows forever, until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT
