3 Train up Thy hardy soldiers, Lord,
In all their Captain's steps to tread;
Then send them to proclaim Thy word,
Thy Gospel through the world to spread;
Freely as they receive to give,

And preach the Death by which we live!

In Time of War.

304 GOD the all terrible! King, who

ordainest

Great winds Thy clarions, the lightnings Thy sword,

Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest:

Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

2 God the Omnipotent! Mighty Avenger,
Watching invisible, judging unheard;
Doom us not now in the hour of our danger;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

3 God the all-merciful! earth hath forsaken Thy ways of blessedness, slighted Thy word;

Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken:
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

4 So shall Thy children in thankful devotion Laud Him who saved them from peril abhorred,

Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean, "Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord."

For the Queen.

305 GOD save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen.

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen.

2 O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,

And make them fall.

Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all.

3 Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,

Long may she reign.

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen.

With the calm word of prayer
We earnestly commend

Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
Eternal Friend!

With the dear word of love
We give our brief farewell;
Our love below, and Thine above,
With them shall dwell.

With the strong word of faith,
We stay ourselves on Thee;

That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
Their Help shalt be.

Then the bright word of hope
Shall on our parting gleam,
And tell of joys beyond the scope
Of earthborn dream.

Farewell in hope, and love,
In faith, and peace, and prayer;
Till He whose home is ours above
Unite us there!

Amen.

L.M. [FRANCES R. EAVERGAL.

LORD, speak to me, that I may speak, In living echoes of Thy tone: As Thou hast sought, so let me seek Thy erring children, lost and lone. 2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead The wandering and the wavering feet; O feed me, Lord, that I may feed Thy hungering ones with manna sweet. 3 O strengthen me, that while I stand Firm on the Rock and strong in Thee, I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestlers with the troubled sea.

4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones, in needful hour.

6 O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow

In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

7.0 use me, Lord, use even me

Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,

Thy rest, 'Thy joy, Thy glory share.

"O send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead me."-Ps. xliii. 3.

[H. BONAR.

308 LORD, give me light to do Thy work,

For only, Lord, from Thee,

Can come the light by which these eyes
The work of truth can see.

2 The way is narrow, often dark,

With lights and shadows strewn;
I wander oft, and think it Thine,
When walking in my own.

3 Yet pleasant is the work for Thee,
And pleasant is the way;

But, Lord, the world is dark, and I
Am prone to go astray.

4 O send me light to do Thy work,
More light, more wisdom give;
Then shall I work Thy work indeed,
While on Thine earth I live.

5 The work is Thine, not mine, O Lord;
It is Thy race we run;

Give light, and then shall all I do
Be well and truly done.

"And He shall set up an ensign for the nations."

309 UPLIFT the banner! Let it float

Sky-ward and sea-ward, high and
The sun shall light its shining folds, [wide;
The Cross, on which the Saviour died.
2 Uplift the banner! Angels bend
Wondering in silence o'er the sign,
And vainly seek to comprehend
The wonder of the love Divine.
3 Uplift the banner! Heathen lands
Far off shall see the glorious sight,
And nations, gathering at the call,
Their souls shall kindle in its light.
4 Uplift the banner! Let it float
Sky-ward and sea-ward, high and wide;
Our glory only in the Cross,
Our only hope the Crucified.

5 Uplift the banner! Wide and high,
Sea-ward and sky-ward let it shine:
Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours;
We conquer only in that sign.

Watch Night.

310 COME, let us anew Our journey pursue,

round with the year,

And never stand still, till the Master appear; His adorable will Let us gladly fulfil,

And our talents improve

By the patience of hope, and the labour of love. 2 Our life is a dream, Our time as a stream Glides swiftly away,

And the fugitive moment refuses to stay;
