In their great Creator let all men rejoice,
And heirs of salvation be glad in their King.

4 Ye angels above, his glories who 've sung, In loftiest notes now publish his praise;
We mortals, delighted, would borrow your tongue,
Would join in your numbers, and chant to your
Praise through Time and Eternity.
1 SONGS of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun-
When he spake, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away:
Songs of praise shall crown that day.
God will inake new heavens and earth:
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And will man alone be dumb
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No-the church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice-
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
6 Borne upon the latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
Be thy glorious name adored.
Lord, thy mercies never fail :
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring
When around thy throne we sing.
3 While on earth ordained to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way;
Then on high we'll joyful raise
Songs of everlasting praise.
4 There no tongue shall silent be;
All shall join in harmony,
That through heaven's capacious round
Praise to thee may ever sound.
5 Lord, thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!.
Holy, holy, holy Lord!'
Be thy glorious name adored.
MONTGOMERY. Praise from all Nations. Ps. 117. 1 ALL ye nations, praise the Lord; All ye lands, your voices raise ;Heaven and earth, with loud accord, Praise the Lord, forever praise ;
For his truth and mercy stand,
Past, and present, and to be,
Like the years of his right hand-
Like his own eternity.
3 Praise him, ye who know his love;
Praise him from the depths beneath;
Praise him in the heights above;
Praise your Maker, all that breathe.
1 FROM all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word;-
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more.
1 THY name, almighty Lord,
Shall sound through distant lands:
Great is thy grace, and sure thy word
Thy truth forever stands.
2 Far be thine honor spread,
And long thy praise endure,
Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchanged no more.
