CHRISTIAN EXERCISES.
3 Blest Star where’er his lustre shines,
He all the soul with grace refines ;
And makes each happy saint declare.
He is the bright, the morning Star.
4 Sweet Star, his influence is divine ;
Life, peace, and joy attending shine;
Death, hell, and sin before him flee,
The bright, the morning Star is he.
5 Great Star, in whom salvation dwells,
His beams the thickest cloud dispels ;
The grossest darkness flies afar
Before this bright, this morning Star.
6 Most glorious Star, be thou our guide,
Nor from our souls thy splendor hide;
Let nothing thy sweet beams debar,
Thou only bright and morning Star.
7 Eternal Star, our songs shall rise,
When we shall meet thee in the skies ;
And, in eternal anthems there,
Praise thee, the bright, the morning Star.

Jesus precious.
1 DLEST Jesus, when my soaring thoughts
D O’er all thy graces rove,
How is my soul in transport lost,
In wonder, joy, and love !
2 Not softest strains can charm mine ears,
Like thy beloved name ;
Nor aught beneath the skies inspire
My heart with equal flame.
3 No, thou art precious to my heart,
My portion and my joy ;
