2 Far be thine honor spread,
And long thy praise endure,
Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchanged no more.

Blessedness of the pure in heart.
Blest are the pure in heart
For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is his abode.
2 Still to the lowly soul
He doth himself impart,
And for his temple and his throne
Selects the pure in heart.
742 7s. peculiar.
Head of the Church triumphant.
Head of the Church triumphant!
We joyfully adore thee;
Till thou appear, thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory.
2 We lift our hearts and voices
In blest anticipation,
And cry aloud, and give to God
The praise of our salvation.
743 7s.
Psalm 117.
All ye nations, praise the Lord;
All ye lands, your voices raise;
Heaven and earth, with loud accord
Praise the Lord, for ever praise.
2 For his truth and mercy stand,
Past, and present, and to be,
Like the years of his right hand,
Like his own eternity.
744 7s.
Supplication—with thanksgiving.
Phil. 4:6.
Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us, henceforth, how to live
With eternity in view.
2 Blest thy word to old and young,
Grant us, Lord, thy peace and love;
And, when life’s short race is run,
Take us to thy house above.
745 7s, double.
Guide us, Lord.
Guide us, Lord! while, hand in hand,
Journing toward the better land;
Foes we know are to be met,
Snares the pilgrim’s path beset;
Clouds upon the valley rest,
Rough and dark the mountain’s breast;
And our home can not be gained,
Save through trials well sustained.
2 Guide us while we onward move,
Linked in closest bonds of love,
Striving for the holy mind,
And the soul from sense refined;
That when life no longer burns,
And the dust to dust returns,
With the strength which thou hast given,
We may rise to thee and heaven.
746 7s.
The God of Peace—make you perfect.
Heb. 13:20.
Now may he, who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep!
2 May he teach us to fulfill
What is pleasing in his sight;
Perfect us in all his will,
And preserve us day and night.
