LL thy works, with one accord
Magnify thee, mighty Lord!
While the heavens thy glory show,
Earth extols thy love below.
2 Day to day doth utter speech,
Night to night thy knowledge teach:
Nature's universal frame
Answers "Hallow'd be thy name."
3 Life, through all its breathing forms, Death, from darkness, dust, and worms, In ten thousand wondrous ways, Fearfully set forth thy praise. 4 While adoring Seraphim
Thine eternal Godhead hymn,
Saints redeem'd, with glory crown'd,
Calvary's cross won triumphs sound.
5 May thy Church from age to age,
In her house of pilgrimage,
Train for thee her convert throngs,
And thy statutes be their songs.
BLEST be thou, O God of Israel,
Thou, our Father, and our Lord!
Blest thy majesty for ever!
Ever be thy name adored.
2 Thine, O Lord, are power and greatness, Glory, victory, are thine own;
All is thine in earth and heaven,
Over all thy boundless throne.
3 Riches come of thee, and honour,
Power and might to thee belong;
Thine it is to make us prosper,
Only thine to make us strong.
4 Lord, to thee, thou God of mercy,
Hymns of gratitude we raise;
To thy name, for ever glorious,
Ever we address our praise!

Loud and more loud the anthem raise,
With grateful ardour fired..

Loads every moment, as it flies,
With benefits unsought.

From whom salvation flows,
Who sent his Son our souls to save
From everlasting woes.

For hope's transporting ray,
Which lights through darkest shades of death,
To realms of endless day.

Kind are his thoughts, his name is love;

And ages long to come shall own.

The wonders of his grace record;
Israel, the nation whom he chose,
And rescued from their mighty foes..

He guides our footsteps lest we stray;
He guards us with a powerful hand,
And brings us to the heavenly land.

And humble sacrifice.
