6 But saints are lovely in his sight; 87 0 2d P. M. 6 lines 8s. Infinite condescension. GOD, of good the' unfathom'd sea, Who would not his whole soul and mind, Angels with both wings veil their eyes; 3 Astonish'd at thy frowning brow, Who then can that vast love express, 4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, 88 Wisdom, justice, truth. L. M. THINE, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone! Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne, Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 2 Each evening shows thy tender love; Each rising morn thy plenteous grace: Thy waken'd wrath doth slowly move; Thy willing mercy flies apace. 3 To thy benign, indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great Source of being, flow. 4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is thine; And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine. 89 Goodness and mercy. C. M. ET every tongue thy goodness speak, Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak, 2 When sorrows bow the spirit down, 3 Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel Thou hear'st thy children's cry; And their best wishes to fulfil, Thy grace is ever nigh. 4 Thy mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere : Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love Is join'd with holy fear. 5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, Let all the sons of Adam raise 90 The only wise God. THOU, the eternal Lord, S. M Art high above our thought; Most wonderful thy works we own, The judgments can explain, Of Him whose eyes in darkness see, 91 Glory, mercy, grace. C. M. FATHER, how wide thy glory shines, How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill: And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 Part of thy Name divinely stands, They show the labour of thy hands, 4 But when we view thy strange design, 5 Here the whole Deity is known, 6 Now the full glories of the Lamb Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's Name, 70 may I bear some humble part, Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, 92 BLES Wisdom and goodness. LEST be our everlasting Lord, Our Father, God, and King! Thy sov'reign goodness we record, Thy glorious power we sing. 2 By thee the victory is given: The majesty divine, C. M. Wisdom and might, and earth and heaven, And all therein, are thine. 3 The kingdom, Lord, is thine alone, Who dost thy right maintain, And, high on thy eternal throne, 4 Riches, as see meth good to thee, 5 Thou hast on us the grace bestow'd, And therefore now we thank our God, 6 Thy glorious Name, thy nature's powers, Thou dost to us make known; And all the Deity is ours, Through thy incarnate Son. 93 0 1st P. M. 6 lines 88. Goodness. GOD, my hope, my heavenly rest, Grant my importunate request, To me, to me, thy goodness show; Thy beatific face display, The brightness of eternal day. 2 Before my faith's enlighten'd eyes, 94 Immanuel, God with us. E' In Jesus, God with us, display'd; TERNAL depth of love divine, L. M. How bright thy beaming glories shine! O God, what tongue aright can tell |
