INVOCATION.

[_]

From the French of César Malan.

[_]

Being the introductory poem of his “Chants de Sion.”

Father which art in heaven!
For love of Christ accept our songs of praise.
Our souls would glorify Thy wondrous ways,
And all the blessings given,
Father of mercies! by Thy loving power,
Which Thy good Spirit on our hearts doth shower.
