1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns; His throne is built on high;

The garments he assumes

Are light and majesty:

His glorics shine with beams so bright,
No mortal eye can bear the sight.

2 And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend?
And will he write his name

My Father and my Friend?

I love his name, I love his word:

The God that built the skies, And earth and nature made: God is the tower to which I fly; His grace is nigh in every hour

2 No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air,
Shall take my health away,
If God be with me there.

Thou art my sun, and thou my shade,
To guard my head by night or noon.

To save my soul from death?

And I can trust my Lord

To keep my mortal breath.

I'll go and come, nor fear to die, Till from on high thou call me home.

LANGE.

But in its light my soul can see Some feature of the Deity.

1 UNCHANGEABLE, all-perfect Lord,
Essential life's unbounded Sea,
What lives and moves, lives by thy word:
It lives, and moves, and is, from thee.

2 High is thy power above all height;
Whate'er thy will decrees is done;
Thy wisdom, holiness, and might
Can by no finite mind be known.

3 Thine, Lord, is holiness alone;
Justice and truth before thee stand;
Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne,
Love ever dwells at thy right hand.

4 And to thy love, and ceaseless care,
Father, this light, this breath, we owe;
And all we have, and all we are,
From thee, great Source of Life, doth
flow.

WATTS.

192. Divine Protection. Ps. 121.
1 Up to the hills I lift my eyes,
The eternal hills beyond the skies:
Thence all her help my soul derives;
There my Almighty Refuge lives.

2 He lives, the everlasting God,

That built the world, that spread the flood; The heavens with all their hosts he made, And the dark regions of the dead.

3 He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours while Israel sleeps.
