3.

To thee we all our ways commit,
And seek our comforts near thy feet:
Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.

4.

Give us in thy beloved house
Again to pay our grateful vows;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne.

351. c. M.

Doxology.

1.

THOU art the First and thou the Last;
Time centres all in Thee,

The almighty God, who was and is,
And evermore shall be.

2.

To Thee let every tongue be praise,
And every heart be love;

All grateful honours paid on earth,
And nobler songs above.

OF

HYMNS

FOR

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

[blocks in formation]

ARISE, ye people, clap the hand,
Exulting strike the chord :
Let every isle and every land
Confess the almighty Lord.

2.

Hear, while the shouts wide-echoing round The eternal God proclaim,

The answering trump thro' heaven resound, And shake its vaulted frame.

3.

Sing to our God in loudest strain,

Perpetual praises sing:

O'er earth's wide bounds extends his reign: O praise our God and King.

353. L. M.

MONTGOMERY.

The universe called upon to praise God.

1.

FALL down, ye nations, and adore
Jehovah on the mercy-seat:

Like prostrate seas on every shore
That cast their billows at your feet.

2.

Come from the east ;-with gifts, ye kings, Gold, silver, frankincense and myrrh; Where'er the morning spreads her wings, Let man to God his vows prefer.

3.

Come from the west;-the bond, the free,
His easy service make your choice;
Ye isles that stud the stormy sea
Like halcyon nests, in him rejoice.

4.

Come from the south;-thro' desert sands
A highway for our God prepare:
Let Ethiopia spread her hands,
And Libya pour her soul in prayer.

5.

Come from the north;-let Europe raise,
In all her languages, one song
Give God the glory, power and praise
That to his holy name belong.

6.

Let halleluias to the skies,

With ocean's everlasting sound, (The voice of many waters) rise,

Day without night, as time goes round.
