Yet those who trusted in his name Beheld in him thy truth and grace. 5 0 thou! at whose almighty word Fair light at first from darkness shone, Teach us to know our glorious Lord, And trace the Father in the Son.
6 While we, thine image there displayed, With love and admiration view, Form us in likeness to our Head, That we may bear thine image too.
1 WITH transport, Lord, our souls proclaim Th' immortal honors of thy name; Assembled round our Savior's throne, We make his ceaseless glories known. 2 Through all succeeding ages he The same hath been, the same shall be ; Immortal radiance gilds his head,
While stars and suns wax old and fade. 3 The same his power his flock to guard; The same his bounty to reward;
The same his faithfulness and love To saints on earth, and saints above. 4 Let nature change, and sink. and die, Jesus shall raise his people high, And fix them near his stable throne, In glory changeless as his own.
1 COME, sing a Savior's power, And praise his mighty name;
His wondrous love adore,
And chant his growing fame.
Wide o'er the world a king shall reign, And righteousness and peace maintain.
2 The sceptre of his grace
He shall forever wield; His foes, before his face,
To strength divine shall yield: The conquest of his truth shall show What an almighty arm can do.
3 His alienated sons,
By sin beguiled, betrayed, Shall then be born at once,
And willing subjects made: Such numbers shall his courts adorn As dew-drops of the vernal morn.
4 His realm shall ever stand, By liberal things upheld; And from his bounteous hand
All hearts with joy be filled.
A universe with praise shall own The countless honors of his throne.
The Light of the World.
1 LIGHT of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death!.
Rise on us, thyself revealing, Rise, and chase the clouds beneath. 2 Thou, the light of every creature, In our deepest darkness rise; Scatter all the night of nature, Pour the day upon our eyes.
3 Still we wait for thine appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every meek and contrite heart. 4 Save us in thy great compassion, O thou prince of peace and love! Give the knowledge of salvation, Fix our hearts on things above. 5 By thine all-sufficient merit Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit Guide into thy perfect peace.
1 JESUS! Savior of my soul, Let me to thy shelter fly, While the raging billows roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; Helpless hangs my soul on thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; All in all in thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to pardon all our sin; Let the healing streams abound: Make and keep us pure within.
1 THUS saith the Lord who built the heavens, And bade the planets roll,
Who peopled all the climes of earth,
And formed the human soul:
2 'Behold my Servant; see him rise Exalted in my might; Him have I chosen, and in him I place supreme delight."
3 'On him, in rich effusion poured, My spirit shall descend;
My truth and judgment he shall show To earth's remotest end.
4 The progress of his zeal and power Shall never know decline,
Till foreign lands and distant isles Receive the law divine.'
Our Shepherd. Ps. 23.
1 WHILE My Redeemer's near, My shepherd and my guide, I bid farewell to anxious fear; My wants are all supplied.
2 To ever-fragrant meads
Where rich abundance grows,
His gracious hand indulgent leads, And guards my sweet repose. 3 Along the lovely scene Cool waters gently roll, Transparent, sweet, and all serene, To cheer my fainting soul.
4 Here let my spirit rest; How sweet a lot is mine! With pleasure, food, and safety, blest; Beneficence divine!
5 Dear Shepherd, if I stray,
My wandering feet restore, To thy fair pastures guide my way, And let me rove no more.
6 Unworthy as I am
Of thy protecting care,
Jesus, I plead thy gracious name, For all my hopes are there.
1 YE worlds of light, that roll so near The Savior's throne of shining bliss, O tell how mean your glories are- How faint and few, compared with his ! 2 We sing the bright and morning Star, Jesus, the spring of light and love: See, how its rays, diffused from far, Conduct us to the realms above!
3 Its cheering beams, spread wide abroad, Point out the wildered Christian's way: Still, as he goes, he finds the road, Enlightened with a constant day.
