4. The same. 1. BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, [Ps. 100. ii. 2. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Eternal truth attends thy word; Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and he destroy. 2. His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep,we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3. We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name! 4. We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love; 5. Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. 1. WITH One consent, let all the earth 2. Convinced that he is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed; 3. O enter then his temple gate, Thence to his courts devoutly press; And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless. 4. For he's the Lord-supremely good, His mercy is forever sure; 6. His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure. 1. FROM all that dwell below the skies Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till Suns shall rise and set no more. 1. LOUD hallelujahs to the Lord, Let heaven begin the solemn word, 2. The Lord-how absolute he reigns! 3. 4. In sounds of dreadful praise declare; 5. Let clouds, and winds, and waves agree 6. Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, 7. Wide as his vast dominion lies, Make the Creator's name be known; 8. Jehovah 't is a glorious word! 9. Speak of the wonders of that love, 9 Be honor, praise, and glo-ry given, By all on earth, and all in heaven. = 8. Public Prayer and Praise. [Ps. 65. i. 9. 1. THE praise of Zion waits for thee, My God, and praise becomes thy house; There shall thy saints thy glory see, And there perform their public vows. 2. O thou, whose mercy bends the skies, To save when humble sinners pray; All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And distant islands of the sea. 8 Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. 4. Blest is the man whom thou shalt choose, What his afflicted saints request; Shall see the Saviour's name adored. Longing for God's House. [Ps. 84. vi. 2. Might I enjoy the meanest place 3. God is our sun-he makes our day; God is our shield-he guards our way 4. All needful grace will God bestow, 5. O God, our King! thy sovereign sway 10. Christ's second Coming. [Ps. 97. iii. 1. He reigns; the Lord, the Saviour reigns; 2. Deep are his counsels and unknown, But grace and truth support his throne; 3. In robes of judgment, lo, he comes! Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire, The mountains melt, the seas retire. 1. THE Saviour, when to heaven he rose 2. Hence sprung th' apostles' honored name, Sacred beyond heroic fame: In lowlier forms to bless our eyes, 3. So shall the bright succession run Through the last courses of the sun; 4. Jesus, our Lord, their hearts shall know, 4 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; $2 す 9: Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Fa-ther, Son, and Holy Ghost. [Ps. 69- iii. 2. Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, 1. DEEP in our hearts let us record 2. In long complaints he spends his breath; 3. Yet, gracious God, thy power and love 4. The pangs of our expiring Lord Man frail—God unchanging. [Ps. 102. v. 1. Ir is the Lord our Saviour's hand, Weakens our strength amid the race: Disease, and death, at his command, Arrest us, and cut short our days. Nor let our sun go down at noon: And must thy children die so soon? 3. Yet, in the midst of death and grief, This thought our sorrow shall assuage;— "Our Father and our Saviour live: . Christ is the same through every age." 4. "Twas he this earth's foundation laid; Heaven is the building of his hand; This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade, And all be changed at his command. 5. The starry curtains of the sky, Like garments, shall be laid aside; 6. Before thy face thy church shall live, 1. GREAT Former of this various frame, 2. Before thine infinite survey, 3. Beyond the highest angel's sight, 4. Our days a transient period run, And change with every circling sun; 5. But let the creatures fall around; 2. Though I have most unfaithful been, 3. Yet O! the chief of sinners spare, 4. O Lord, my weary soul release, The great Journey. [Hy. 470. 20. 2. Our kindred and our friends are gone; 4. Awake, my soul, thy way prepare, National Judgments deprecated [Hy. 614. 1. WHILE o'er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of thy sword; Oh, whither shall the hopeless fly? To whom but thee direct their cry? 2. On thee, our guardian God, we call, Before thy throne of grace we fall, And is there no deliverance there! And must we perish in despair? 3. See, we repent, we weep, we mourn, O, spare our guilty country, spare |
