S. M. WATTS.

Praise to God from all nations.

1.

YE nations, praise the Lord, Each with a different tongue; In every language learn his word, And let his name be sung.

2.

While angels sound his praise, Let mortals learn their strains; Let all the earth his honours raise ; O'er all the earth he reigns.

3.

Praise him with awe profound; Let knowledge lead the song; Nor mock him with a solemn sound Upon a thoughtless tongue.

4.

Far be his honour spread,

And let his praise endure,

Till morning light and evening shade Shall be exchanged no more.

5.

The God we worship now
Will guide us till we die,

Will be our God while here below,
And ours above the sky.

WILTSHIRE COLLECTION.
Praise to God.

1.

O PRAISE ye the Lord; prepare a new song,
And let all his saints in full concert join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his honours in music divine.
2.

Let praises to God our maker ascend;
Let each grateful heart exult in its king;
For God whom we worship our songs will
attend,

And view with complacence the offering we

bring.

3.

Be joyful, ye saints, sustain'd by his might, And let your glad songs awake with each

morn;

For those who obey him are still his delight; His hand with salvation the meek will adorn.

4.

Then praise ye the Lord; prepare a glad song,
And let all his saints in full concert join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his honours in music divine.

60. P. M. EXETER COLLECTION.
Universal praise.

1.

PRAISE 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 enraptured fall before him, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

61. s. M. WATTS.

Praise to the Creator.

1.

ALMIGHTY Maker, God! How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad Through the creation's frame!

2.

Nature in every dress

Her humble homage pays,
And finds a thousand ways to' express
Her undissembled praise.

3.

My soul would rise and sing

To her Creator too;

Fain would my tongue adore my King,

And pay the homage due.

4.

On God my hopes depend Through all my future days: To him my soul shall oft ascend In grateful songs of praise.

62. P. M.

WALKER'S COLLECTION. Praise to God.

1.

LIFT your voice, ye people all,
Praise the God on whom ye call;
Glory give to God on high,
God, whose glory fills the sky.

2.

God his sovereign sway maintains;
King o'er all the earth he reigns;
All to him lift up their eye,
He will every want supply.

3.

Sons of earth, the triumph join,
Praise him with the host divine;
Emulate the heavenly powers;
Their all-gracious God, and ours.

4.

Happy, who his laws obey!
Them he rules with milder sway;
Pure and holy hearts alone
He hath chosen for his own.

5.

Him, whose joy is to restore,
Him let all our hearts adore :
Earth and heaven repeat the cry,
Glory be to God on high!

GLORY be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky,
Peace on earth to man forgiven,
Man the well-beloved of heaven :
Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky.

2.

Favour'd mortals, raise the song;
Endless thanks to God belong:
Hearts o'erflowing with his praise,
Join the hymns your voices raise :
Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky.

3.

Call the tribes of beings round
From creation's utmost bound;
Where the Godhead shines confest,
There be solemn praise addrest:
Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky.

4.

Mark the wonders of his hand! Power, no empire can withstand; Wisdom, angels' glorious theme; Goodness, one eternal stream: Glory be to God on high, God whose glory fills the sky.
