Charles Wesley ARIEL. C. P. M. ARR. BY LOWELL MASON. 1. Let all on earth their voices raise, To sing the great Jehovah's praise, And bless his holy name: 9:3 His glory let the heathen know, His wonders to the nations show, His saving grace proclaim, His saving grace proclaim. 17 The glory of His grace. 1 LET all on earth their voices raise, His glory let the heathen know, His saving grace proclaim. 2 He framed the globe; he built the sky: He made the shining worlds on high, And reigns in glory there: 3 Come the great day, the glorious hour When earth shall feel his saving power, All nations fear his name: Then shall the race of men confess The beauty of his holiness, His saving grace proclaim. 18 Isaac Watts. God's glorious presence. 1 THOU God of power, thou God of love, Whose glory fills the realms above, Whose praise archangels sing, 2 Thee as our God we too would claim, And makes them heirs of heaven. 1 JESUS, thou soul of all our joys, And tune thy people's heart. 2 While in the heavenly work we join, Thy glory be our whole design, Thy glory, not our own: To please our God alone. 3 Thee let us praise, our common Lord, And sweetly join, with one accord, Thy goodness to proclaim: 4 With calmly reverential joy, In setting forth thy love; And raise in death our triumph higher, And sing, with all the heavenly choir, That endless song above. Charler Wesley. |
