4 He makes the grafs the hills adorn;
He clothes the fmiling fields with corn;
The beafts with food his hands fupply,
And the young ravens when they cry.

5 What is the creature's kill or force,
The sprightly man or warlike horse?
The piercing wit, the active limb ?
All are too mean delights for him.

6 But faints are lovely in his fight,
He views his children with delight!
He fees their hope, he knows their fear;
And looks, and loves his image there.

HYMN CLX. L. M.

EFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow, with facred joy:
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he deftroy.

2 His fov'reign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of clay and form'd us men!
And when like wand'ring theep we ftray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful fongs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise : And earth with her ten thoufand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with founding praife.

4 Wide as the world is thy command;
Valt as eternity thy love:

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years fhall ceafe to move.

HYMN CXLI. C. M.

EASTER.

THE Lord of Sabbath let us praise,
In concert with the bleft,

TH

Who joyful in harmonious lays,
Employ an endless reft.

2 Thus, Lord, while we remember thee,
We bleft and pious grow;
By hymns of praife we learn to be
Triumphant here below.

3 On this glad day, a brighter scene
Of glory was difplay'd,

By God, th' eternal Word, than when
This univerfe was made.

4 He rifes, who mankind hath bought
With grief and pain extreme;

'Twas great to speak the world from nought, 'Twas greater to redeem.

Let the Creator's praise arife;

With angels round the throne;

To be exalted thus:

For he was flain for us.

To bless the sacred name
Of him that fits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

RAISE ye the Lord, y' immortal choirs
That fill the realms above;

PRA

Praise him who form'd you of his fires.
And feeds you with his love.

2 Shine to his praife, ye cryftal skies,
The floor of his abode;

Orveil in fhades your thousand eyes
Before your brighter God.

3 Thou reftlefs globe of golden light,
Whose beams create our days,
Join with the filver queen of night,
To own your borrow'd rays.

Winds, ye fhall bear his name aloud.
Thro' the etherial blue;
For when his chariot is a cloud,

He makes his wheels of you.

5 Thunder and hail, and fire and ftorms,
The troops of his command,
Appear in all your dreadful forms,
And speak his awful hand.

6 Shout to the Lord, ye furging feas,
In your eternal roar ;

Let wave to wave refound his praise,
And fhore reply to shore;
