May they be, like Joseph, loving,
Dutiful, and chaste, and pure;
And their faith, like David, proving,
Stedfast unto death endure.

Holy Saviour, who in meekness
Didst vouchsafe a Child to be,
Guide their steps, and help their weakness,
Bless, and make them like to Thee;
Bear Thy lambs when they are weary
In Thine arms, and at Thy breast;
Through life's desert, dry and dreary,
Bring them to Thy heavenly rest.

Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them,
Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
Guide them, lead them, go before them,
Give them peace, and joy, and love.
Temples of the Holy Spirit

May they with Thy glory shine,

And immortal bliss inherit,

And for evermore be Thine !--Amen.

O LORD of heaven, and earth, and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to Thee,
Giver of all?

For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings Earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
Giver of all!

For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord, be given,
Who givest all?

We lose what on ourselves we spend,
We have as treasure without end
Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend,
Who givest all.

To Thee, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with Thee live,

Giver of all—Amen.

BY FARRANT.

A Prayer.

Lord, for Thy tender mercies' sake, lay not our sins to our charge, but forgive that is past, and give us grace to amend our sinful lives: to decline from sin, and incline to virtue; that we may walk with a perfect heart before Thee, now and evermore.

O Lord my God, hear Thou the prayer Thy servant prayeth; have Thou respect unto his prayer; hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwellingplace, and when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive.
