4 Lift up to God the voice of praise,
From whom salvation flows:

Who sent His Son our souls to save
From everlasting woes.

5 Lift up to God the voice of praise,
For hope's transporting ray,

That lights through darkest shades of death To realms of endless day.

"All thy works shall praise thee." Psa. cxlv. 10. L. M.

1 YE sons of men, with joy record
The various wonders of the Lord;
And let His power and goodness sound
Through all your tribes the earth around.
2 Let the high heavens your songs invite,
Those spacious fields of brilliant light;
Where sun, and moon, and planets roll,
And stars, that glow from pole to pole.

3 Sing earth in verdant robes arrayed,
Its herbs and flowers, its fruit and shade;
View the broad sea's majestic plains,
And think how wide its Maker reigns.
4 But Oh! that brighter world above,
Where lives and reigns Incarnate Love!
God's only Son in flesh arrayed,
For man a bleeding victim made!

5 Thither, my soul, with rapture soar;
There in the land of praise adore:
This theme demands an angel's lay,
Demands an undeclining day.

"Thy saints shall bless thee." Psa. cxlv. 10. L. M.

1 WE praise, we worship Thee, O God! Thy sovereign power we sound abroad. All nations bow before Thy throne, And Thee the great Jehovah own. 2 Loud hallelujahs to Thy name Angels and seraphim proclaim: By all the powers and thrones in heaven, Eternal praise to Thee is given. 3 O holy, holy, holy Lord!

Thou God of Hosts, by all adored! Earth and the heavens are full of Thee, Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty! 4 Apostles join the glorious throng, And swell the loud triumphant song: Prophets and martyrs hear the sound, And spread the hallelujah round. 5 Glory to Thee, O God most high! Father, we praise Thy majesty : The Son, the Spirit, we adore; One Godhead, blest for evermore.

"All things come of thee." 1 Chron. xxix. 14. L. M. 1 ALMIGHTY King! whose wondrous hand Supports the weight of sea and land, Whose grace is such a boundless store, No heart in vain shall sigh for more. 2 Thy providence supplies my food, And 'tis Thy blessing makes it good: My soul is nourished by Thy word: Let soul and body praise the Lord.

3 My streams of outward comfort came
From Him who built this earthly frame:
Whate'er I want, His bounty gives,
By whom my soul for ever lives.

4 Either His hand preserves from pain,
Or, if I suffer, heals again;

From Satan's malice shields my breast, Or overrules it for the best.

5 Forgive the song that falls so low
Beneath the gratitude I owe.

It means Thy praise, however poor:
An angel's song can do no more.

13. Let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified." Psalm xÏ. 16.

1 GOD of salvation! we adore

L. M.

Thy saving love, Thy saving power;
And, to our utmost stretch of thought,
Hail the redemption Thou hast wrought.

2 We love the stroke that breaks our chain,
The sword by which our sins are slain :
And while abased in dust we bow,
We sing the grace that lays us low.

3 Perish each thought of human pride :
Let God alone be magnified.

His glory let the heavens resound,
Echoed from earth's remotest bound.

4 Saints, who His full salvation know,
Saints, who but taste it here below,
Join every angel's voice to raise
Continued, never-ending praise

14. "Remember all the way which the Lord thy God led

thee." Deut. viii. 2.

C.M.

1 WHEN all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,

Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

2 Thy providence my life sustained,
And all my wants redressed;
When in the silent womb I lay,
And hung upon the breast.
3 Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.

4 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,

Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.

5 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face;
And, when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.

6 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ:
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.

7 Through every period of my

Thy goodness I'll pursue;

life

And after death in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.

8 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise :
For Oh! eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise.

"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain."

Rev. v. 12. 7's.

1 NOW with angels round the throne,
Cherubim and seraphim,

And the Church which still is one,
Let us swell the solemn hymn.
Glory to the great I AM!
Glory to the Victim-Lamb!

2 Blessing, honour, glory, might,
And dominion infinite,

To the Father of our Lord,
To the Spirit and the Word;
As it was all worlds before,
Is, and shall be evermore.

16.

"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests." Rev. v. 10. P. M.

1 SING hallelujah! praise the Lord!
Sing with a cheerful voice.
Exalt our God with one accord,
And in His name rejoice.

Ne'er cease to sing, thou ransomed host:
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Until, in realms of endless light,

Your praises shall unite.
