3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity!
4 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth,
and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
APTAIN of Israel's host, and Guide
Of all who seek their home above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
Our strength Thy grace, our rule Thy word,
Our end the glory of the Lord.
2 By Thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray;
By Thy paternal bounty fed,
We shall not lack in all our way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While Thine almighty love is near.
HE Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noonday walks He shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary, wandering steps He leads,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.
3 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My stedfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
OD moves in a mysterious way,
G His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercies, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
OD of mercy, God of grace,
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
Fill Thy Church with light divine;
And thy saving health extend
Unto earth's remotest end.
2 Let the people praise Thee, Lord:
Be by all that live adored;
Let the nations shout and sing
Glory to their Saviour King,
At Thy feet their tribute pay,
And Thy holy will obey.
3 Let the people praise Thee, Lord,
Earth shall then her fruits afford;
God to man His blessing give,
Man to God devoted live;
All below, and all above,
One in joy, and light, and love.
1EAD us, heavenly Father, lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee;
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know ;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe:
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy:
Heavenward as our steps are tending,
Pleasures give that never cloy.
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
WAKE, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake every heart and every tongue
To praise the Saviour's Name!
2 Sing of His dying love;
Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.
3 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ, the eternal King!
4 Soon shall we hear Him say,
"Ye blessed children, come !"
Soon will He call us hence away,
And take His pilgrims home.
5 Then shall our rapturous tongue
His endless praise proclaim,
And sweeter voices swell the
[ESUS! Name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must every knee
Bow in deep humility.
2 Jesus! Name decreed of old;
With the gracious tidings told
To the Virgin's wondering ear
By the heavenly messenger.
3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave—
"Jesus shall His people save."
4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.
5 Jesus! only Name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.
6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of God above!
Pleading only this, we flee,
Helpless, O our God, to Thee!
1 ESUS, hail, enthroned in glory,
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side;
There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.
