1 Он come! loud anthems let us sing, Loud thanks to our Almighty King; For we our voices high should raise, When our salvation's Rock we praise. 2 Into his presence let us haste, To thank him for his favors past; 3 Oh let us to his courts repair, 1 How welcome to the soul, when pressed 2 How happy they whose lot is cast 3 Though pinched with poverty at home 4 We thank thee for thy day, O Lord! 8. 1 9. COME, Sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing; Jehovah is the sovereign God, The universal King. 2 He formed the deeps unknown; He gave the seas their bound; The watery worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground. 3 Come, worship at his throne, Come, bow before the Lord: We are his work, and not our own; He formed us by his word. 4 To-day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God. Enjoyment in Worship. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS. 1 SWEET is the task, O Lord! Thy giorious acts to sing, To praise thy name, and hear thy word. And grateful offerings bring. 2 Sweet, at the dawning hour, Thy boundless love to tell; And, when the night-wind shuts the flower, Still on the theme to dwell. 3 Sweet, on this day of rest. To join, in heart and voice, 4 To songs of praise and joy The Sabbath welcomed. 1 WELCOME, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise! Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes! 2 The King himself comes near, WATTS. 11. And feasts his saints to-day; 4 My willing soul would stay Praise. MONTGOMERY 1 STAND up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice; Stand up, and bless the Lord your God, With heart and soul and voice. 2 Though high above all praise, Who would not fear his holy name. 3 Oh for the living flame, From his own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, And raise to heaven our thought! 4 Stand up, and bless the Lord; The Lord your God adore; Stand up, and bless his glorious name, Henceforth, for evermore. 24 9: GREENVILLE. 8s & 7s.

From the Fount of glory beaming, Light celestial cheers our eyes; Mercy from above proclaiming, Peace and pardon from the skies. 2 Who may share this great salvation? From the fountain of his throne. 3 Every stain of guilt abhorring, Firm and bold in virtue's cause; Faithful subjects to thy laws, - Bless us with thy wondrous love; Thou, our sun and shield, defend us: All our hope is from above. 1 LOVE divine, all love excelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. 2 Breathe, oh breathe thy loving Spirit Let us all in thee inherit, Let us find, thy promised rest. |
