IV. HYMN (all standing). TUNE: JUDE. No. 29.

Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult

Of our life's wild, restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, Christian, follow me!

Jesus calls us-from the worship,

Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep usSaying, Christian, love me more!

Page Twenty-six

In our joys and in our sorrows,

Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures--
Christian, love me more than these!

Jesus calls us! by thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call;
Give our hearts to thy obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all!

VI. HYMN (all standing). TUNE: COURAGE BROTHER. No. 72.

Courage, brother! do not stumble,

Though thy path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble!
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Let the road be long and dreary,
And its ending out of sight;
Foot it bravely-strong or weary;
"Trust in God, trust in God,
Trust in God, and do the right."

Perish policy and cunning,

Perish all that fears the light,
Whether losing, whether winning,
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Trust no friends of guilty passion,
Fiends can look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school, or fashion,
"Trust in God, trust in God,
Trust in God, and do the right."

Leader: Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!

We will be true to thee till death!

Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they like them, could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!

Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life!

We will be true to thee till death!

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!

God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!

God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
