us, and we shall be blest.
63. L. M. Watts.
Doxology.
1 From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise!
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue!
2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends Thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
64. 8 & 7s. M. Anonymous.
Go in Peace.
1 Go in peace!--serene dismission
To the loving heart made known,
When it pours in deep contrition
Prayer before the eternal throne.
2 Go in peace! thy sins forgiven,
Christ hath healed thee, set thee free
Every spirit-fetter riven,
Go in peace, and liberty!
3 Saviour! breathe this benediction
O'er our spirits while we pray;
Let us part in sweet conviction
Thou hast blessed our souls to-day.
65. C. M. Heber.
The Seed of the Word.
1 O God, by whom the seed is given,
By whom the harvest blest;
Whose word, like manna showered from heaven,
Is planted in our breast;
2 Preserve it from the passing feet,
And plunderers of the air;
The sultry sun's intenser heat,
And weeds of worldly care!
3 Though buried deep, or thinly strewn,
Do Thou Thy grace supply;
The hope, in earthly furrows sown,
Shall ripen in the sky.
66. L. M. Gaskell.
Walking with God.
1 Through all this life's eventful road,
Fain would I walk with Thee, my God,
And make Thy presence light around,
And every step on holy ground.
2 Each blessing would I trace to Thee,
In every grief Thy mercy see;
And through the paths of duty move,
Conscious of Thine encircling love.
3 And when the angel Death stands by,
Be this my strength, that Thou art nigh;
And this my joy, that I shall be
With those who dwell in light with Thee.
67. L. M. Doddridge.
Christian Farewell.
1 Thy presence, ever living God!
Wide through all natur
