In ev'ry twinkling ray of light,
Their Maker's honour shew.

5

The universal whole

Proclaims Jehovah's praise ; And O, that ev'ry living soul Would songs of honour raise !

6

The worlds were made in love,

By wisdom all divine;

And while in praise my tongue can move, That praise, O Lord, be thine !

HYMN 274. S. M.

SALVATION! O the thought!
For sinners doom'd to die,
Paid for by Jesus, dearly bought,
To raise his foes on high.

2

Salvation, O the song!

Let all the world proclaim,
And ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue,
Rejoice to hear the name.

3

Salvation, rich and free,

Salvation, long and broad,

Salvation for such worms as we, 'Tis all the work of God.

4

He works to will and do, The Alpha is his name, And he the great Omega too, All glory to the Lamb.

JEHOVAH Jesus is my Lord.

I trust in him alone ;
For ev'ry promise of his word
Is stedfast as his throne.

2

Am I a sinner in his sight,

And humbled for my guilt? To save and heal is his delight, For me his blood was spilt.

3

Am I athirst for living wine ?

The fountain's full and free ; Jesus will give the truth, divine, He promis'd it to me.

4.

Am I desiring heav'nly bread
With an impatient mind?
With this I shall be richly fed,
For Jesus Christ is kind.

[blocks in formation]

GREAT God, we give thee praise For all thy wond'rous grace ! Thy kind and condescending ways To our poor fallen race!

3

Thou hast thy love reveal'd Beyond what prophets knew ; The holy book of truth unseal'd To our astonish'd view.

3

We wander now no more
Where sons of darkness lead;

But truth in sacred light explore,
And wonder while we read.

4

The letter of thy word

Before we hardly knew ;

And in our awful darkness, Lord,
Deem'd half the word untrue.

5

But now its inward sense
Is open'd to the mind;

We learn thine heav'nly doctrines thence,
And living waters find.

6

Lord, we adore thy name,
For light and truth divine!

From thee the welcome mercies came,

And be the glory thine!

HYMN 277. L. M.

Now we are met from diff'rent parts ;
May heav'nly love inspire our hearts;
May all we do be done in love,
Like those that meet to praise above.

2

May this a striking emblem be,

Of that great meeting all must see :
Where heav'nly love tunes ev'ry chord,
In loud hosannas to the Lord.

3

Be with us, Jesus, while we stay,

And guide us when we praise or pray;

In all we do, may we proclaim
The praise and glory of thy name.

HYMN 278. S. M.

BUT O, what wonders rise

To our astonish'd view!

The clouds are driven from the skies, And all the scene is new.

2

No more a fruitless strife
For error we maintain;

The word is spirit, truth, and life,
And human notions vain.

3

The word is all divine,

Its inmost is the Lord;

His glories through the letter shine,
And be his name ador'd!

4

Now Jesus gives to know
Its true internal sense;

And doth to all his church below
Its light and truth dispense.

5

None but the Lord can make
His word to sinners known;
What Jesus gives we thankful take,
And bow before his throne !

HYMN 279. L. M.

BOLD is the man, who dares to curse
One soul, here on this earthly ball,
Since Jesus dy'd and rose for us,
In whom God justify'd us all.

2

He that condemns one soul on earth,
He doth condemn the Lord's elect;

He doth condemn himself to death,
And doth the Son of God reject.

3

Since Jesus Christ contains the whole,
In whom all nations are as one;
He that condemns a single soul,
Condemns Jehovah's righteous Son.

4

The man that doth one soul despise,
Rejecteth God, and Christ his Lamb;
The Lord afresh he crucifies,
And puts him to an open shame.

5

Christ is our Head, we join to him,
In such a perfect unity,

That if we harm the smallest limb,
We do the whole an injury.

6

With Christ we all were crucify'd,
With Jesus Christ we rose again,
And in him we are justify'd,

And with him we shall live and reign.

HYMN 280. P. M.

YE angels that surround the throne,
Where your Creator's name is known,
Through all the realms above,
Your greatest skill in praising try,
And all your golden harps employ,
To sing creating love.

2

But you the children of his love,
Who have been call'd to mount above,
From sin and sorrow too :
