Praise, my soul, the King of heaven A mighty fortress is our God,

To His feet thy tribute bring A bulwark never failing
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Our Helper He, amid the flood
Who like thee His praise shall sing ? Of mortal ills prevailing.
Praise Him praise Him

Praise the everlasting King ! Doth seek to work his woe ;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate
Praise Him
for His grace and favour
On earth isnot his equal.
To our fathers in distress
Praise Him, still the same as ever, we in our own strength confide,

Slow to chide, and swift to bless Our striving would be losing,

Were not the right Man on our side,
Glorious in His faithfulness ! The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be ?
3 Father- like He tends and spares us, Christ Jesus, it is He !
Well our feeble frame He knows Lord Sabaoth is His name,

In His hands He gently bears us, From age to age the same
Rescues us from all our foes And He must win the battle.
Praise Him ! praise Him !
Widely as His mercy flows. 3 And though this world, with devils
filled,
Should threaten to undo us:
4 Angels, help us to adore Him, We will not fear; for God hath willed
Ye behold Him face to face ! His truth to triumph through us.
Sun and moon, bow down before Let goods and kindred go,
Him ! This mortal life also
Dwellers in time and space,
all The body they may kill

Praise with us the God of grace ! His Kingdom is for ever.

Redemption by His death I find,
And cleansing through the Blood. 3 Despond then no longer
The Lord will provide

And to His saints makes known No word He hath spoken
The blessed rest from inbred sin, Was ever yet broken
Through faith in Christ alone. " The Lord will provide.'

Of endless life in heaven. With shoutings victorious,

But the nail-scarred hands are there, Why should I the burden bear ?

The burden to help us bear. On a care beyond his own,
There is never a heart so broken, Knows he's neither strong nor wise,
But the loving Lord can heal Fears to stir a step alone

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

111 ("if) 8.7.D. 773 8.7.D.
" Cast thy bread upon the waters," Oh, the precious love of Jesus,
Ye who have but scant supply How it cheers us on our way !
Angel eyes will watch above it, Lightening every heavy burden,
You shall find it by-and-by. Brightening every weary day !
He who in His righteous balance How it sweetens every sorrow,

Doth each human action weigh, Driving all our fears away !
Will your sacrifice remember, How it shines out in the darkness,

Will your loving deeds repay. Making sunshine all the way !
2 ** Cast thy bread upon the waters," 2 Yes, the precious love of Jesus
Sad and weary, worn with care Gives us smiles in place of tears !
Often sitting in the shadow Gives us courage in our troubles,

Have you not a crumb to spare ? Helps us conquer all our fears !
Can you not to those around you It will make our life worth living,
Sing some little song of hope, It will help us when we die,
As you look with longing vision Bear us safely o'er the river,
Through faith's mighty telescope ? To our home beyond the sky.
3 " Cast thy bread upon the waters,"
3 I must have the love of Jesus
You who have abundant store If I do His service here
It may float on many a billow,
I must feel His arm beneath me,
It may strand on many a shore.
I must know His presence near
You may think it lost for ever Then He'll bless me in my labour,
But, as sure as God is true,
Then He'll lead me in the right,
In this life, or in the other, Help me win lost souls for heaven
It will yet return to you.

Jesus is the children's Saviour, But has his little cross to take,
Jesus is the children's King. His little work of love and praise
That he may do for Jesus' sake.

And some may bring their greatness, The lamp was burning dim
And some bring strength and health. Before the sacred ark

To offer to the King Rang through the silence of the shrine.

What shall we children bring ? The open ear, O Lord !

And young souls meekly striving Like him to answer at Thy call,
To walk in holy ways. And to obey Thee first of all.
And these shall be the treasures 3 Oh, give me Samuel's heart !
We offer to the King A lowly heart, that waits

And these are gifts that even When in Thy house Thou art
The poorest child may bring. Or watches at Thy gates

We'll try our best to please Him 4 Oh, give me Samuel's mind !

And better are these treasures Obedient and resigned
To offer to our King, To Thee in life and death
Than richest gifts without them; That I may read, with childlike eyes,
Yet these a child may bring. Truths that are hidden from the wise.
