Praise ye the Lord! be our employ To laud his name in hymns of joy. Unerring skill his works disclose; Unbounded might creation shows; And skill and might, beneath, above, Display the wonders of his love.

Praise ye the Lord! his saving grace
Conferred on all our sinful race,
The erring world shall yet restore
To light and life for evermore,-
And heaven's high dome of bliss above,
Resound the triumphs of his love.

Praise ye the Lord! be ours to know
The blessings from his grace that flow
In all our ways, regarding Him
Whose holy light is never dim,
Our hearts may feel begun in this,
The joys of His high world of bliss.

HYMN 571.

Behold our Lord, who, slain of men,
In life renewed comes forth again!
His foes in vain their power display;
His God was mightier far than they;
And now in light ascended far,
He shines, the Bright and Morning Star.

He reigns in love, and on our race
Bestows his free and boundless grace;
Nor will he rest till sin shall cease,
And all shall hail him Prince of Peace!
Then shall mankind his name extol,
And God in Christ be all in all.

HYMN 572.

O Lord our God, whose holy light
Reveals the wonders of thy might!
The eye of faith thy love surveys,
In all thy works and all thy ways.
In every scene thy glories shine,
And wide display thy power divine.
The golden sun, undimmed by time
Proclaims thy hand in every clime.
Tho' darkness veil the glowing sky,
His beams for ever shine on high,
The goodness of the God of Light.
And shadow forth, in radiance bright,

The gentle rains which clouds distil,
A symbol of thy gracious will,
In every age, in every land,
Obedient to thy wise command,
Reveal this truth from heaven above,
The Lord of might is God of Love.

Thro' nature wide thy glories shine,
Unveiling light and love divine;
And in thy word our faith beholds
The blessings which thy grace unfolds.
To warm and guide our every heart,
Thy love and light, O Lord, impart.

HYMN 576. Fuller, p. 195. If clouds arise, and storms appear, If friends and all forsake me,There's One my aching heart to cheer And to his bosom take me. Blest Saviour! let it be my lot, In all my round of being, To know thy friendship alters not, Tho' other friends are fleeing.

O be it thine to guide my soul,

O'er life's dark, stormy ocean, And naught I'll fear, tho' billows roll, Nor dread the wild commotion. Thy love shall be my polar light, Whatever may betide me;

For, 'mid the storm and dreary night, its blaze shall shine to guide me.

HYMN 577. Fuller, p. 195.
Tho' travelling thro' a wilderness,
Where duty's call divides us,—
Tho' many a wintry storm distress,
The star of hope shall guide us.
And this shall cheer the lonely way,
And gild the gloom of sorrow;
And, thro' the shades of parting day,
Reveal a brighter morrow.

E'en should this star be clouded here,
And should we meet-ah! never,
The transient joys of life to share,-
"Twill not be dimmed for ever.
No! we shall meet, tho' parted here,
To part again,-oh, never!
But with our blessed Saviour there,
To live in joy for ever.

HYMN 578. Missionary, p. 146.
God is my strong salvation;
What foe have 1 to fear?
In darkness and temptation
My Light, my Help, is near.
Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm to the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?

Place on the Lord reliance;

My soul, with courage wait; His truth be thine affiance,

When faint and desolate; His might thy heart shall strengthen; His love thy joy increase; Mercy thy days shall lengthen ; The Lord will give thee peace.
