Hymn 29. C. M.

"_Spirit Divine, attend our prayers._"

Spirit Divine, attend our prayers, And make this house thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers, O come, Great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light; to us reveal Our emptiness and woe: And lead us in those paths of life, Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul an offering be To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the dew, and sweetly bless This consecrated hour; May barrenness rejoice to own Thy fertilizing power.

5 Come as the dove, and spread thy wings, The wings of peaceful love; And let thy church on earth become Bless'd as the church above.

6 Spirit Divine, attend our prayers; Make a lost world thy home; Descend with all thy gracious powers, O come Great Spirit, come.

Hymn 30. C. M.

"_Jerusalem, my happy home._"

Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labours have an end In joy, and peace, and thee?

2 When shall these eyes thy heavenly walls, And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of s.h.i.+ning gold?

3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! 'mid rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you.

4 Why should I shrink from pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay?

I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day.

5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there, Around my Saviour stand, And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band.

6 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee: Then shall my labours have an end, When I thy joys shall see.

"_Jerusalem, my happy home._"

Je ru sa lem ing, nin guh dah, Nin ge che zah ge toon, Uh pe ish quah uh no kee yon, Nin guh bah pe nan dum.

2 Nin guh wah bun don, oo da nuh, Ka che quah nah je wung, Ke che soong un, suh wan duh go, Wa wah kash kog mee kun.

3 Nin guh bah pe nan dum, we kah-- Che kush kan duh ze won: Ma gwah suh ah ne me ze yon, Ke guh be non ze koon.

4 Kah we kah we suh ge na win.

Kuh ya ewh ne bo win, Tuh uh yah se noon e we de, An duh zhe ke zhe guk.
