And still, to drive my wants away, 3 Perpetual blessings from above But, Oh! how few returns of love 4 What have I done for him who died 5 Lord! with this guilty heart of mine, 6 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood, 591. C. M. Evening Prayer and Praise. 1 INDULGENT God! whose bounteous care 2 What mercies has this day bestowed! My cup with plenty overflowed, 3 Now may soft slumber close my eyes, And let my waking thoughts arise 4 Thus bless each future day and night, And then, to realms of endless light, 592. C. M. Secret Prayer at Twilight. 1 I LOVE to steal awhile away, From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day, 2 I love, in solitude, to shed And all his promises to plead, 3 I love to think on mercies past, 4 I love, by faith, to take a view 5 And, when life's toilsome day is o'er, Be calm, as this impressive hour, 593. C. M. Evening-Worship in the Family. 1 O LORD! another day is flown, Are met once more before thy throne, 2 And wilt thou bend a listening 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 Thy heavenly grace to each impart; And shed abroad in every heart 5 Thus cleansed from sin and wholly thine, A flock by Jesus led, The Sun of righteousness shall shine 6 Oh! still restore our wandering feet, Till worlds shall fade, and faith shall greet 594.

For such as keep Saturday-Evening 1 SWEET is the last, the parting ray, 2 Hushed is the tumult of the day, And worldly cares and business cease,- To hymn the glad return of peace: To turn the wandering thoughts to heaven. 3 Oft as this peaceful hour shall come, Lord! raise my thoughts from earthly things, Till the last gleam of life decay, 596. S. M. Saturday-Evening. 1 THE hours of evening close; Its lengthened shadows, drawn 2 So let its calm prevail O'er forms of outward care; 3 Our guardian Shepherd near 4 So may a holier light, Than earth's, our spirits rouse, MORNING, OR EVENING. 597. L. M. A Song for Morning and Evening. 1 MY God! how endless is thy love! 2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, 598. C. M.

C. M. Morning and Evening-Offering.
