Fill every part of me with praise; Of Thee, and of Thy love, O Lord! "It is a good... to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High: to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night." — Ps. xcii. 1, 2. EET and right it is to sing ME In every time and place, Glory to our heavenly King, Holy, holy, holy Lord, Eternal praise be thine! Thee, the first-born sons of light, And never, never cease; Praise the mystic Three in One; Father, God, Thy love we praise, Praise by all to Thee be given, Till we in full chorus join, And earth is turned to heaven. THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handy work. In them hath He set a tabernacle for the sun; which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course. It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about into the end of it again; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Praise the Lord, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light. He healeth the broken in heart, and giveth medicine to heal their sickness. He telleth the number of the stars, and calleth them all by their names. He bindeth the sweet influences of the Pleiades, and looseth the bonds of Orion. He bringeth forth Mazzaroth in his season, and guideth Arcturus with his sons. Great is our Lord, and great is His power; yea, and His understanding is infinite. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. I DESIRE, O Lord, my God! with all Thy saints, and with all Thy creatures, in every place and time, devoutly to praise Thee, to bless Thee, to glorify Thee, and with a pure heart to love Thee always; and above all Thy works to magnify and exalt Thy holy name perpetually, because Thou art my God, and I am Thy poor servant. Thou art my light and my hope, O my God! Thou art my patience, my praise, and my glory, O my God! dom and my prudence, sweetness, O my God. Thou art my wismy beauty and my Thou art my lamp, my candlestick, and my leading-star, my God. Thou art my teacher, my instructor, and my physician, O my God! In Thee I find all things; and all things I have, through Thy mercy and free donation. OUR UR Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen. Death. LEAVES have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set; but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine, O Death! Day is for mortal care, Eve for glad meeting round the joyous hearth, Night for the dreams of sleep, the voice of prayer, But all for thee, thou mightiest of the earth. We know when moons shall wane, When summer birds from far shall cross the sea, When autumn's hues shall tinge the golden grain; But who shall teach us when to look for thee? |
