2 Friends, the dearest and the best
Try to set my griefs at rest;
But besides my depths of sin,

I have depths they ne'er have seen.

3 Dear their love, and kind their grief,
But it fails to give relief;
Deeper always seems the smart
Hidden from another's heart.

4 Jesus, Saviour, look on me,
Thou canst set my sorrows free;
Depths the deepest were in thee,
"Brother for adversity!"

5 All my depths to thee are known, Thou hast made them all thine own; This is what can comfort me,

Sins and griefs were borne by thee.

5 I will wash me with thy tears,
I will ease me with thy fears;
Take thy bleeding thorns and pain,
Put them to my wounds again.
6 Every groan of thine is balm,
Every cry but makes me calm;
As I see thee, sobbing, die,
All my sorrows seem to fly.

7 Depths on depths! Thou love divine, What are all my depths to thine? They are buried all in thee,

"Brother for adversity!"

Tune-"Rousseau."

1 LORD, I hear that thou art willing
To receive and pardon me ;
Wilt thou not, thy word fulfilling,
Look in pity, Lord, on me?—
Look on me.

2 Thou, O Lord, art good and gracious,
And thy mercy's rich and free;
Thou alone from sin canst save us,
Look in pity, Lord, on me-

Look on me.

3 Now I would implore thy favour; From my sins I fain would flce; Spurn me not, O Christ, my Saviour, Look in pity, Lord, on me

Look on me.

4 None can help, or give salvation,
None relieve my misery;
At thy Cross I take my station,
Look in pity, Lord, on me-

Look on me.

5 By thy tears, thy cries, thy passion,
By the blood that flowed from thec,
By thine infinite compassion,
Look in pity, Lord on me-

Look on me.

6 Leave me not in sin to perish,

Break its bonds, and set me free; Thou hast taught me thus to cherish Hope, that thou wilt look on me— Look on me.

7 Jesus, merciful and tender!
How divine thy sympathy,
Now accept the praise I render,
And in pity, look on me-
Look on me.

(See Music at the end, No. 3.)

1 ABIDE with me, fast falls the eventide; The darkness thickens: Lord with me abide When other helpers fail, and comforts flee; Help of the helpless, oh abide with me.

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim-its glories pass

away;

Change and decay in all around I see:

O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, LordFamiliar, condescending, patient, free, Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

4 Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in thy wings;

Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea, Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with

me.

TE DEUM.
