"Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens
praise ye Him, all His hosts."

1 mf 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 f 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,

cres Thou God of hosts by all adored;

f Earth and the heavens are full of Thee,
Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty.

4 f Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud triumphant song;
Prophets and martyrs hear the sound,
And spread the hallelujah round.

5 f Glory to Thee, O God most high!
Father, we praise Thy majesty ;
The Son, the Spirit, we adore ;
One Godhead, blest for evermore.

"I will speak of the glorious honour of Thy majesty."

If COME, Thou Almighty King!

Help us Thy name to sing,

Help us to praise :

Father! all glorious,
O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days!

a f Come, Thou Incarnate Word! Gird on Thy mighty sword;

Our prayer attend:

Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy word success;
Spirit of holiness!

On us descend.

3 Come, Holy Comforter!
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:

cres Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4 f To the great One in Three
Eternal praises be,

Hence, evermore !

Thy sovereign majesty

May we in glory see,

And to eternity

Love and adore. Amen.

8"One cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."

Imf ROUND the Lord in glory seated,

Cherubim and seraphim

Filled His temple, and repeated

Each to each the alternate hymn :f "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,

f "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

Earth is with its fulness stored; 3 mf With His seraph-train before Him,

Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

2 ƒ Heaven is still with glory ringing,
Earth takes up the angels' cry,

mf" Holy, holy, holy," singing,

"Lord of hosts, the Lord most high."

With His holy Church below,
Thus conspire we to adore Him,

Bid we thus our anthem flow:-
f "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
rall Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

Amen.

I mf WE give immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here,
And better hopes above:

He sent His own Eternal Son,
To die for sins that man had done.

2 mf To God the Son belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with His blood
From everlasting woe :

cres And now He lives, and now He reigns,
And sees the fruit of all His pains.

3 mf To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating power
Makes the dead sinner live:
cres His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

4 mf Almighty God! to Thee
Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One:

cres Where reason fails, with all her powers,
ƒ There faith prevails, and love adores.

Amen

I inf PRAISE ye Jehovah! praise the Lord 3 mf Praise ye Jehovah! Source of all our most holy,

Who cheers the contrite, girds with
strength the weak;

Praise Him who will with glory crown

the lowly,

And with salvation beautify the meek.

blessing;

Before His gifts earth's richest boons

wax dim ;

Resting in Him, His peace and joy

possessing,

cres All things are ours, for we have all in Him.

2 mf Praise ye Jehovah! for His loving-kind- 4 f Praise ye the Father! God the Lord,

"O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever."

I mf LET us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;

Did fill the new-made world with light;

Ever faithful, ever sure:

All the day long his course to run;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

5 mf The horned moon to shine by night Amongst her spangled sisters bright;

f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

In the wasteful wilderness;

Beheld us in our misery;

And with full hand supplies their need;

Ever faithful, ever sure.

His mighty majesty and worth;
