2 O, grant that each of us Now met before thee here, May meet together thus, When thou and thine appear: To thy blest presence may we come And dwell in an eternal home. 759 P. M. Show me a token for good. Psalm 86:17. Of thy love some gracious token Grant us, Lord, before we go; Bless thy word which has been spoken; Life and peace on all bestow! When we join the world again, Let our hearts with thee remain; O direct us And protect us, Till we gain the heavenly shore Where thy people want no more! THE NEW LIFE—TRUST AND JOY. 760 L. M. The peace of God. Phil. 4:7. O peace of God, sweet peace of God! Where broods on earth this gentle dove! Where spread those pure and downy wings To shelter him whom God doth love? 2 Whence comes this blessing of the soul, This silent joy which can not fade? This glory, tranquil, holy, bright, Pervading sorrow’s deepest shade? 3 The peace of God, the peace of God! It shines as clear ’mid cloud and storm As in the calmest summer day, ’Mid chill as in the sunlight warm. 4 O peace of God! earth hath no power To shed thine unction o’er the heart; Its smile can never bring it here— Its frown ne’er bid its light depart. 5 Calm peace of God, in holy trust, In love and faith, thy presence dwells— In patient suffering and toil Where mercy’s gentle tear-drop swells. 6 Sweet peace! O let thy heavenly ray Shed its calm radiance o’er my road; Its kindly light shall cheer me on— Guide to the endless peace of God. 761 L. M. God our Father. Is there a lone and dreary hour, When worldly pleasures lose their power? My Father! let me turn to thee, And set each thought of darkness free. 2 Is there a time of rushing grief, Which scorns the prospect of relief? My Father! break the cheerless gloom, And bid my heart its calm resume. 3 Is there an hour of peace and joy When hope is all my soul’s employ? My Father! still my hopes will roam, Until they rest with thee, their home. 4 The noontide blaze, the midnight scene, The dawn, or twilight’s sweet serene, The glow of life, the dying hour, Shall own my Father’s grace and power. 762 L. M. D. The secret place of the Most High. Psalm 91:1.
