7 God praised by Universal Nature. C. M. D. PRAISE ye the Lord, ye immortal choir, That fill the realms above: Praise him who form'd you of his fire, Or veil in shades your thousand eyes, 2 Thou restless globe of golden light, To own your Winds, ye shall bear his name aloud, 3 Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas, Let wave to wave resound his praise, Thunder, and hail, and fire, and storms, 4 Wave your tall heads, ye lofty pines, Sweet clusters bend the fruitful vines, Thus while the meaner creatures sing, 8 God glorious, and Sinners saved. C. M. FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! Known through the earth by thousand signs, 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy pow'r, And on the wings of ev'ry hour 3 But when we view thy great design, Where vengeance and compassion join 4 Here the whole deity is known, 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name, 60 may I bear some humble part 9 In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, Jesus adored. L. M. WORTHY the Lamb of boundless sway, Ye princes, rulers, pow'rs obey, And low before his footstool fall. 2 The deed was done, the Lamb was slain, 3 Whate'er is rich, whate'er is great, From worlds unnumber'd hither bring; 4 Wisdom and strength are his alone, And glory's seated on his face. 5 From heav'n, from earth, loud bursting praise The mighty blessings shall proclaim ; Blessings that men to glory raise, To shout the triumphs of the Lamb. 6 Higher, still higher, swell the strain, 10 The Coronation of Christ. HALL loyal nations hail the day SH P. M. That crowns their King with loud acclaim? To their beloved Saviour's name? 2 Jesus who vanquish'd all our foes, Who came to save, who reigns to bless; 3 Yes, thou art worthy, dearest Lord, That men or angels e'er can raise. 4 But earth nor heav'n can e'er proclaim Resound, resound in joyful strains, 5 How mean the tribute mortals pay, Shall tune a more exalted song; 6 He comes! he comes! with triumph crown'd, 2 Praise to the God of Abraham. HE God of Abr’ham praise, Antient of everlasting days, And God of love: Jehova, Great I Am! By earth and heav'n confes'd; The God of Abr'ham praise, From earth I rise and seek the joys P. M. |
