TIMES AND SEASONS. HYMN 505. C. M. Wareham, Florence. 1 WHEN we, with welcome slumber press'd, Had clos'd our weary eyes, 2 Numbers this night have doubtless met 3. But life to us its light prolongs,— Great God, accept our morning songs, HYMN 506. C. M. STEELE. Braintree, Rochester. 1 GREAT God, preserved by thine arm, pass'd the shades of night; Serene and safe from ev'ry harm, 2 Oh, let the same Almighty care From ev'ry danger, ev'ry snare, 3 Smile on my minutes as they roll, HYMN 507. C. M. J. STEward.

LORD, another day is flown, Are met once more before thy throne, And wilt thou bend a list'ning ear Thou wilt! for thou dost love to hear 3 And, Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt deign, As we before thee pray; For thou didst bless the infant train, 4 Oh, let thy grace perform its part, HYMN 512. S. M. Yarmouth, Wirksworth. THE day is past and gone, The ev'ning shades appear; Oh, may I ever keep in mind, The night of death draws near. 2 I lay my garments by, Upon my bed to rest; So death will soon remove me hence, 3 Lord, keep me safe this night, 4 And when I early rise, To view th' unwearied sun, 5 That when my days are past, Lord, I may in thy bosom rest, |
