Our Shelter from the storm-y blast, And Our eternal Home: A-MEN.

Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy de-signs. A - MEN.

2 The unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.

3 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;

4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn,

I HIGH in the heavens, Eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens Thy designs.

2 For ever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

3 Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast Thy bounty share;

Arr. from Conrad Kocher, 1838

mer cy, God of grace, Show the bright-ness of Thy face;

{Shine up - on

And Thy saving health extend Un to earth's re- mot est end. A-MEN.

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 tributes pay,
And Thy holy will obey.

NUREMBERG 7.7.7.7.

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.

Lowell Mason, 1832

1 Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in

joy,

I WHEN all Thy mercies, O my God, 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived

My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; For O, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.

From whom those comforts flowed.
When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou 6
With health renewed my face;
And, when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.

Joseph Addison, 1712
