mains,
I fail oft' as I try.

IV

In mercy, Lord, Thy mercy send,
For merciful art Thou;
And prove Thyself the sinner's Friend,--
O come and help me now.

V

And let my life be ordered quite,
As Thou wouldst have it be;
When I am wrong, O set me right,--
Lord, come and succour me.

VI

And hold me up, lest to the mire
Of sin my soul return;

And base affections burn.

I

Arise, my soul, and gaily sing
The praise of thine Immortal King;
The heavens His matchless power adore,--
Awake, and sing for evermore.

The morning dawns at His command,
And lights the world o'er sea and land;
And upwards, see the sun arise,
To shed its glories from the skies.

V

And as the morn from darkness springs,
To speed to earth on silent wings,
A dawn more glorious shall awake,
And bright upon our spirits break.

VI

O Sun of Righteousness, arise,
And fill our souls with glad surprise;
Nor into dark of night decline,
But aye at noontide brightly shine.

VII

All glory to the God of Might,
And to the Son, the Light of light;
And to the Spirit, Three in One,
Eternal while the ages run.

I

The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
