NOME seraph, lend your heav'nly tongue, That I may raise a lofty song To our eternal King. 2 Thy names, how infinite they be! 3 Thy glory shines immensely bright; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, Thine essence is a vast abyss, 16 An ocean of infinities.

Praise to God for his goodness and mercy. 1 PRAISE ye Jehovah! with anthems of praise come before him; Great is his mercy! with hearts of thanksgiving adore him; Firm is his word, Freely his grace is conferr'd; Humbly for pardon implore him. 2 Praise him all nations! 'Tis he that has crown'd you with blessing: O come before him, your sins and transgressions confessing; Worship the Lord; Bow to the claims of his word; Songs to his glory addressing. 3 Angels, rejoicing, unite in the shout of salvation; Daily and nightly they sing to the God of creation: "Worthy to reign, Keeper and Savior of men, O'er every kingdom and nation " 4 Praise ye Jehovah! the sov'reign of earth and of heaven, Unto his holy name honor and glory be given; Wake ev'ry string!
