4 That thine eternal Son should bear
To take a mortal form;
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?

5 Let him be crown'd with majesty,
Who bow'd his head to death;
And be his honours sounded high
By all things that have breath.

6 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!

The glories of thy heavenly state
Let the whole earth proclaim.

64. (1 THESS. V. 18.)

7's & 6's.

1 MEET and right it is to sing,
In every time and place,

Glory to our heavenly King,

The God of Truth and Grace.
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join!
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Eternal praise be thine!

2 Vieing with that heavenly choir,
Who chant thy praise above,
We on eagles' wings aspire,

The wings of faith and love:
Thee, they sing, with glory crown'd,
We extol the slaughter'd Lamb;
Lower if our voices sound,

Our subject is the same.

3 Father, God, thy love we praise,
Which gave thy Son to die;
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Alike we glorify;
Spirit, Comforter divine,
Praise by all to thee be given,

Till we in full chorus join,

And earth is turn'd to heaven.

1 PRAIS

(KEV. iv. 11.)

8's & 7's.

RAISE to Thee, thou great Creator!
Praise be thine from every tongue :
Join, my soul, with every creature,
Join the universal song.

2 Father! Source of all compassion!
Pure, unbounded grace is thine:
Hail the God of our salvation!
Praise him for his love divine.

3 For ten thousand blessings given,
For the hope of future joy,

Sound his praise through earth and heaven,
Sound Jehovah's praise on high,

4 Joyfully on earth adore him,

Till in heaven our song we raise;
There enraptur'd fall before him,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

66.

(2 THESS. ii. 16.).

1 THANKS to my God for every gift

His bounteous hands bestow;

And thanks eternal for that love

Whence all those comforts flow.

2 For ever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now,
And bids me hope for more.

3 Transporting hope! still on my soul'
Let thy bright glories shine,

Till thou thyself art lost in joys,
Eternal and divine.

To whose celestial source we owe

Rivers of endless joy above,

And rills of comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and love for dying souls.
3 We give thee, sacred Spirit, praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Makes living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.

4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit we adore,
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom or a shore.
