New Hymn for the Lord's Day.
The following beautiful hymn is calm the pen
of the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, Canou of Westmin
ster Abbey, and nephew of the late poet-laureate,
one of England's greatest divines and scholars.
—Episcopal Recorder.
Oh day of rest and gladness,
0 day of joy andlight,
0 balm of care and sadness;
Most beautiful, moat bright;
On thee the high and lowly,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the great Three in One,
On thee at the creation,
The light first had, its birth;
On thee for our Salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee our Lord victorious
The Spirit dent from heaven,
Aridihus on thee most glorious
A triple light wa's given.
- -
Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise;
A - garden intersected
With Streams of paradise ;
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life'eLdry, dreary sand;
From thee; like - Pisgah's mountain,
We vieVour,Promised Land.
Thou-art a holylailcier,•
Where angels go and come;
Each Sunday Eulll6llB gladder,
Nearer to hediren,our home.
A - day of sweet reflection,
lhon art a day. of lore ;
A dar of resurrection
From earth to things sigma,
To-day on Weary itaticinti
The heavenly Manna
To holy oonvoostinns
The silver trumpet. calls;
Where Gospel light is 'gloWing
With pure and*radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing. streams.
New graces ever gaining
Front this our day. of rest,
We reach the rest, remaining
To spirits of the blest; ,,
To Holy Ghost be praises;
To Father and to Son;
The Church' her voice upraises
To thee, blest Three in One.

ever great, — vtkoli ,we. may put forth in:
seeking the Lord, has, itself, any proper'
efficiency in , proattnitig ' the • result. There
is no sitoli rdliftitii3 Ad of ;cause .and effect
between the seeking of the Lord and the
the finding of his favor; but there are es
tablished means of grace, , Without the use
of whieh we can have no eipectatibn of
his blessing, but in the use of which *e
have the most eimuraging Promiin of Di
vine aid and ultimate success. God must
be sought (and it is reason enough,) beeatale
he requires it. There surety is iftetive
enough in thatlhe blessing follows.
Besides the direct • assertions • of this
truth, observe the language which is so freJ
queritly employed fit the &riptide's in'ad-:
dressing sinnerifVfid-0 ifistiftiee, " seek;' ;
" ask ;"" kne4jl • ' 44 .l,ittive to enter' ;"
" come unto me ;I'M wile ye to the waters."'
Do not these expretasions; and such as these,
plainly inchoate that the Lord must'' ie
sought. There is prdoision'in the langnage •
of the Bible,
and the freqtient . :inefirrenbe
of such words and forms of expreinia l ln.
such connexions as they are found; ennuei
be misunderstdod.
Moreover this trial is in accordance,
with what wo know of God's Method of op
eration. St ordinarily works by means;
indeed so far as we can see, this Seetns to
be a universal hi* in the' active manifesta
tions of his Might. The few cases, as in
the working of miracles, where God has for
a special purpose wrought immediately, and
without the employment of secondary
causes, are sufficient to demonstrate 'his
ability to adeomplish his ends Without the
use of means ; but it has,• nevertheless,
pleased him to make the relation of events
as antecedent and consequent so , fixed, as
to becdme a liar upon which we main with
the greatest' 'nonfidence rely; so 'that the
use of the approPriate means, universally
and uniformly secures the deairedgend..'
To the present and assiduous nnet•of•the
means of grace it is objected, 3hit,l,litata
tion being secured by God's eternarelic
tion, if one is elected to be saved he will
be sared,l nothing which he can do, and
or shall leave undone, can make any differ
enee in the result.
Now, this, in the sense used, is a danger
ous del.usion. It is an attempt to avoid
duties in which3he natural heart has no
pleasure; and:lo:throw the responsibility of
the consequinceil upon God. Election is
indeed the Ultilitade ground of salvation.
The certain futniity, of the event is surely
sedured by God's eteonal'deoree ; but, mark
this well, if you are - elected to be saved,
you are also elected " te' be coo fornod to
the image of the Son of' God;" you are
chosen from the beginning to salvation,'
" through sanctification of the Spirit, and
belief of the truth." The event may be
certain id
. I.oSped to God's decree, and yet
contingent in : relation to the • oieeoe,. and
agencies on which it depends. The degree
does not determine the event independent
of the' means, hut the event and the means.
Now, you May. .be elected to salvation ; I
hope you : are:l it :it you arb,,you wahe
saved by seeking:.the Lord in the use of
his established Means - of grace ; • and tire;
sooner you seek" the' irnth of your condi
tion, the sooner you bow yourself in pryer ,
before,God, the sooner you repent andr,bo-.
lieve on Abe name of Christ, bf.so much,
you will 3he sooner be assured of yotir
election ; and let this truth be not'fbrgot
ten, that, if yen rely for salvation upon the
chances of your election, and do .not seek
God, you will •strely never be saved. If
salvation is worth anything, seek ; and if
faithfully sought in - thestrength of God,
you will find it; 464 tiiii eiidence of your
election is then unquestionable.

Christ, and must therefore wait until he is
effectually called of God to their exercise.
I answer, that the only evidence you will
ever have of your effectual calling, is to be
found in the effectiveness of your seeking.
Man is indeed impotent, and all the work
of his salvation is of God ; yet it is in and
through the human facqlties that it is ac
complished. God worketh in us to will
and to do of his good pleasure. Faith is
the gift of God, yet it is no less an exer
cise in the soul of man ; an exercise of
the verTfactilties which all men possess.
All men are theri3fore appropriately Called
upon to believe ,on •the- Lord Jesus Christ
and be saved.
Moreover, if Men were elected merely to
salVation, and, not also to juatificatin4and
sanctification. of the Spirit, theytmustt be
saved-in sin and not from, sin. They must
be saved by an arbitrary act of God, with
out any change of :.character._ The treat.
object ,of , salvation, which, as far as-relates
to man :himself, is to. bring him into holy
-communion with, and -enjoyment of God, is
ignored; the law of God: is dishonOredi and
confuSioh introduced into his ,government.
This does ,not become an Omnipotent,-All
wise, and holy God, Hence the evidence
accumulates that, .« If thou -seek
will be - found of thee; but if thou forsake
liim;,he will east thee, off forever."

Church, and with individuals top; and how
often do great events flow from little
causes ! It is one of the mysteries of
providence that it accomplishes its ends
frequently by insignificant and unlikely
means..
Scripture, history, reason and observa
tion throw light on providence; but after
all we here see through a glass darkly;
hereafter we shall see face to face. In
another world, what is dark here'shall be
made plain. This shouhtgive us confi
dence and hope in the darkest hour f for it
is God' who ruleth overall;
The darkness of providence should teach
us reverence. , ItiShould'also teach us sub
mission, and resignatipp, ; I . say submission
and resignation, for there May be'a'kind of
siibmis'sion Without fisignation: The'Con
q.uered army submits,' but it is-not re
tugne,d,; and we may submit, because, the
can not. help, ourselves, or, because, we feel
it 'useless to complain,,and yet be,very 'tar
frOin being resigned: We should pcissis
both submission 'rand , feSignation.- We
should cordially actjuieSee in and
_approve
the dispeneations of God's, providence, and
feel that whatsoever he does is right.
The darkness of providence should teach
ua te'bizeure of presuMption. Goa reigns;
let us - confide in him, but never 'presume.
