1. Hymn. Rev. J. Kennedy Elliott, B. A.

O God, our help in Ages Past.

Unison.
O God help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Harmony.
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame;
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

Unaccompanied.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

Full unison.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

Amen.

4. Hymn. Rev. W. A. Evans, M.A.

When our Heads are Bowed with Woe.

Unison.
When our heads are bowed with woe,
When our bitter tears o'erflow,
When we mourn the lost, the dear—
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

Harmony.
Thou our feeble flesh hast worn;
Thou our mortal griefs hast borne;
Thou hast shed the human tear:
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

When the heart is sad within,
With the thought of all its sin;
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

Thou the shame, the grief hast known;
Though the sins were not Thine own,
Thou hast deigned their load to bear:
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

Unaccompanied.
When our eyes grow aim in death,
When we heave the parting breath,
When our solemn doom is near—
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

Thou hast bowed the dying head;
Thou the blood of life hast shed;
Thou hast filled a mortal bier:
Jesus, Son of David, hear!

Amen.

6. Hymn. Mr. J. Moore.

Rock of Ages.

Unison.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Not the labour of my hands .
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know;
Could my tears for ever flow;
All for sin could not atone—
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Unaccompanied.
Nothing in my hand I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling:
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death;
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Amen.

8. Hymn. Rev. J. Reed Glasson.

Nearer, my god, to Thee.

Unison.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Harmony (unaccompanied).
Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me.
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

There let my way appear
Steps unto Heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given,
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Unison.
Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Beth-el I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Amen.

11. Hymn. Adjt. Gunn (Salvation Army.)

Abide with me.

Unison.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Unaccompanied.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou, Who changest not, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power ?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be ?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting ? Where Grave, thy victory ?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Unison.
Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Amen.
