Indulgent God! with pitying eye, In glad amazement, Lord! I stand, In sleep's serene oblivion laid, Interval of grateful shade,
I read my duty in the word
+Is there on earth a nobler name
Jesus, the friend of man,
Let every tongue thy goodness speak,
Let party-strife no more
Let thanks to God, all-sovereign Power, arise
Let the whole race of creatures lie
Life is a span, a fleeting hour;
Life is the time to serve the Lord, Lo! God is here: let us adore,
Lo! he comes, from heaven descending, Lo! the rock is roll'd away; Lord! dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord! how mysterious are thy ways! Lord! I am thine, but thou wilt prove. Lord!

O thou, through all thy works ador'd! Oft, gracious God! has Britain been Oh for a firm and lively faith,
Oh that the Lord would guide my ways,

Praise, everlasting praise, be paid Praise to God, immortal praise, Praise to God, the great Creator, Praise to thee, thou great Creator! Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise
Raise your triumphant songs.. Raise your voice, and joyful sing Rejoice, ye righteous! in the Lord; Religion's path they never trod ...... Remark, my soul! the narrow bounds
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
*See from on high, a light divine
*See how he lov'd!' exclaim'd the Jews,.... 110
See the bright monarch of the day Shall I forsake that heavenly Friend Shine forth, eternal Source of light! Shine, mighty God! on Britain shine, Shine on our souls, eternal God! ...... Should famine o'er the mourning field, *Sing to the Lord, in cheerful songs.... Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands +Soft are the fruitful showers that bring Songs of immortal praise belong Soon will our fleeting hours be past;
Sovereign Lord of light and glory!................ 193 Stand up, my soul! shake off thy fears, Still doth thy presence, Lord! pervade Supreme and universal Light!
Sweet fruits afflictions bring, like those Sweet is the friendly voice which speaks Sweet is the work, my God! my King!
Teach me, oh teach me, Lord! thy way,.... 221
That awful hour will soon appear,
The day approaches, O my soul! The earth and all the heavenly frame
The God of mercy will indulge
The Lord-how tender is his love!................ 201
The gospel, like another sun,
The Lord, whose mercies never cease, The man who was crowned with thorns, The mighty God, who rolls the spheres,..... 48 The morning flowers display their sweets,.. 149 *The morn of life, how fair and gay!
The time draws near, when thou, my soul! 230
The uplifted eye, and bended knee, There is a glorious world on high, There is a God,' all nature speaks There is a land of pure delight,.... There is forgiveness, Lord! with thee, These mortal joys, how soon they fade!...... 150 This God is the God we adore,
Those happy realms of joy and peace,
Thou didst make the darksome night, Though others, confident and vain, Thou, Lord! in mercy wilt regard
Thrice happy men, who, born from heaven, 226 Through all the various shifting scene, Through endless years thou art the same, Thus far the Lord hath led me on; Thus saith the first and great command, Thy influence, mighty God! is felt............... Thy kingdom, Lord! for ever stands, Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord!
Thy wisdom, power, and goodness, Lord!.. Time what an empty vapour 'tis,

To thee, my heart, eternal King! To thee, O GOD! my days are known: To thee, O GOD! we homage pay,.... To those bright realms I lift my eyes,
+Wayfaring pilgrims, bound for heaven, We'll praise our Maker with our breath; We sing the almighty power of God, When all thy mercies, O my God! When, as returns this solemn day,
When blooming youth is snatch'd away,... 271 When gloomy thoughts and boding fears.... 160 *When, in obedience to their Lord,................ 263 When in the vale of lengthen'd years, When I survey life's varied scene,

When Jesus, our great Master, came.......... 164 When rising from the bed of death, When sickness shakes the languid frame, †When sorrow sinks my spirits down, When succours fail, and fears invade, Wherefore should man, frail child of clay, While here, as wandering sheep, we stray, 181 While some in folly's pleasures roll, While sounds of war are heard around, While thee I seek, protecting Power!.......... 172 While to the grave our friends are borne, While, with ceaseless course, the sun. Why is my heart with grief opprest? Why should we waste in trifling cares Why sinks my weak desponding mind? With God my Friend, the radiant sun With pleasing wonder, Lord! we view *With pure delight the bosom glows, With reverence let the saints appear, *With warm delight and grateful joy *With warm affection let us view, ................
