81. C. M. Cappe's Sel.

Prayer for Divine Direction.

1Eternal Source of life and light,

Supremely good and wise,

To thee we bring our grateful vows,

To thee lift up our eyes.

2Our dark and erring minds illume

With truth's celestial rays;

Inspire our hearts with sacred love,

And tune our lips to praise.

3Safely conduct us, by thy grace,

Through life's perplexing road;

And place us, when that journey's o'er

At thy right hand, O God.

Prayer for a Blessing.

1Come, thou soul-transforming Spirit,

Bless the sower and the seed;

Let each heart thy grace inherit;

Raise the weak, the hungry feed;

From the gospel

Now supply thy people's need.

2O, may all enjoy the blessing

Which thy word's designed to give,

Let us all, thy love possessing,

Joyfully the truth receive,

And forever

To thy praise and glory live.
