1. Praise the Lord, who reigns above,
And keeps his courts below;
Praise him for his boundless love,
And all his greatness show;
Praise him for his noble deeds,

Praise him for his matchless power;
Him from whom all good proceeds,
Let earth and heaven adore.

2. Publish, spread to all around,

The great Immanuel's name;
Let the gospel trumpet sound,
Him river of peace proclaim,
Praise him every tuneful string;
All the reach of heavenly art,
All the power of music bring,
The music of the heart.

3 Him in whom they move and live,
Let every creature sing;
Glory to our Savior give,
And homage to our King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,

As in heaven on earth adored;
Praise the Lord in every breath,
Let all things praise the Lord.

3

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.

"It is Finished."

1

Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary!
See! it rends the rocks asunder-
Shakes the earth-and veils the sky!
"It is finished!"

Hear the dying Savior cry!

2

"It is finished!"-O, what pleasure Do these sacred words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure, Flow to us through Christ the Lord! "It is finished!"

Saints, the dying words record!

3

Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs;
Join to sing the pleasing theme;
All in earth and heaven uniting,
Join to praise Immanuel's name :
Hallelujah!

Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Thou, who, houseless, sole, forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world's scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste,
Weary pilgrim, hither haste!

3

Ye, who, tossed on beds of pain,
Seek for ease, but seek in vain;
Ye, whose swollen and sleepless eyes
Watch to see the morning rise:

4

Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,

In remorse for guilt who mourn,
Here repose your heavy care:

A wounded spirit who can bear?
5

Sinner, come! for here is found Balm that flows for every wound; Peace that ever shall endure,

Rest eternal, sacred, sure.

Blessing on the Word.

1

Savior, bless thy word to all,

Quick and powerful let it prove; Oh may sinners hear thy call! Let thy people grow in love.

2

Thine own gracious message bless, Follow it with power divine;

Give the gospel great successThine the work-the glory thine. 3

Savior, bid the world rejoice,

Send-oh send thy truth abroad! Let the nations hear thy voice

Hear it-and return to God.
