Calm Trust.
1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at Thy throne, let this,
My humble prayer, arise:--
2 Give me a calm and thankful heart,
From every murmur free;
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And make me live to Thee;--
3 Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine
My life and death attend,
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And bless my journey's end.

The One God.

And in Thyself completely blessed.
3 Worship to Thee alone belongs,
Worship to Thee alone we give;
Thine be our hearts, and Thine our songs,
And to Thy glory may we live.
4 O, spread Thy truth through every land,
In every heart Thy love be known;
Subdue the world to Thy command,
And, as Thou art, reign God alone.

Came flying all abroad.
3 He sat serene upon the floods,
Their fury to restrain;
And He as sovereign Lord and King
For evermore shall reign.

One in Christ.
1 From Zion's holy hill there rose
A fount divine, that ever flows;
Heaven's smile is on its waters shed,
By heaven's own dews the fount is fed.
2 That stream of Truth--a silver thread,
Scarce known, save by its fountain-head--
Now onward pours, a mighty flood,
And fills the new-formed world with good.
3 Where'er that living fountain flows,
New life its healing wave bestows,
And man, from sin's corrup
