Chace ign'rance from our mental eyes;
Come, feal divine inftruction home,
And make our fouls divinely wife.
4. Reveal Emmanuel's glory here,
Let each his beauties now behold;
Now in his word may he appear,
More precious than the choiceft gold!
5. Thus holy fpirit of all grace,
Give us to feel, and taste, and know The pleafures of thy dwelling place, Thy tabernacles here below!
O! from the hills my help defcends,
To them I lift mine eyes;
My ftrength on him alone depends,
Who form'd the earth and skies :
He, ever watchful, ever nigh,
Forbids thy feet to flide,
Nor fleep nor flumber feals the eye,
Of Ifrael's guard and guide.
2. He at thy hand, array'd in might,
His fhield fhall o'er thee fpread:
Nor fun by day, nor moon by night,
Shall hurt thy favour'd head:
Safe fhalt thou go, and fafe return,
While He thy life defends,
Whofe eyes thy ev'ry ftep difcerns,
Whofe mercy never ends.
3. To God, our benefactor, bring
The tribute of your praise;
Too fmall for an Almighty King,
But all that we can raife:
Glory to thee, blefs'd Three in One,]
The God whom we adore;
As was, and is, and fhall be done,
When time fhall be no more.
HYMN 23.

Who take amid his courts your ftand;
While gliding round the dusky pole,
The ftarry orbs in filence roll.

With lifted hands his praife proclaim;
And He, may He, whofe pow'r has made
The earth, and heav'ns wide arch difplay'd,
From facred Sion bid us prove,
The bleffings of his boundless love.
3. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghoft,
(The bleft Eternal Three in One)
Be homage and obeifance done,
By faints and angels facred hoit;
As it has been in ages paft,
Is now, and fhall for ever last.

Praises to your heav'nly King;

And his bounty knows no end.

And with joyous tongue confefs,

And his bounty knows no end.
EFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with facred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and can deftroy.
2. His Sovereign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men;
And when like wand'ring fheep we stray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.
3. We'll croud thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise}
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with founding praife,
4. Wide as the world is thy command
Vaft as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years fhall ceafe to move.
O Thee from out the deeps I pray,
With heaviest woes oppreft,
Lord, let thine ears attentive weigh
The voice of my request.
2. If from the fons of human birth
Thy wrath its debt demand,
O! who throughout the peopled earth,
Beneath that wrath shall stand?
3. But fin's worst wounds thy mercy heals: As down its powr's defcend,
The grateful foul their influence feels,
And trembles to offend
