         Prayer for protection from carnal profesnore.
     1     0D of love, O hear our prayer,
            Kindly for thy people care :
       We on thee alone depend,
       Love and save us to the end.
     2  Save us in the prosperous hour,
       From the flattering tempter’s power,
       From his unsuspected wiles,
       From the world’s pernicious smiles.
     3  Cut off our dependence vain,
       On the help of feeble man ;
       Every arm of flesh remove,
       Stay us on eternal love.
     4  Men of worldly, low design,
       Let not these thy people join;
       Till they nothing know beside
       Jesus, and him crucified.
     o Save us from the great and wise,
       Till they sink in their own eyes,
       Tamely to thy yoke submit,
       Lay their honors at thy feet.
     6  Never let the world break in,
       Fix thy word of truth between ;
       Keep us lowly and unknown,
       Prized and loved of thee alone.
      205               L. M.
                       Another,
           REAT Spirit of immortal love,
        G Vouchsafe our frozen hearts to move
        With ardor strong these breasts inflame,
       To all that own a Saviour’s name.
                         J.6-3
