Praise shall your glad tongues employ,

While his streaming grace ye feel. Each to each, ye then shall say,

“Sinners, call upon his name; O rejoice to see his day ;

See it, and his praise proclaim !” 5 Glory to his name belongs,

Great, and marvellous, and high : Sing unto the Lord your songs,

Cry, to every nation, cry: Wondrous things the Lord hath done,

Excellent his name we find ; This to all mankind is known;

Be it known to all mankind !
6 Sion, shout thy Lord and King,

Israel's HOLY ONE is HE!
Give him thanks, rejoice, and sing,

Great is he, and dwells in thee.
O the grace unsearchable !

While eternal ages roll,
God delights in man to dwell,

Soul of each believing soul !

Hath animated senseless stones; Call'd us to stand before his face,

And raised us into Abraham's sons. 2 The people that in darkness lay,

In sin and error's deadly shade, Have seen a glorious gospel-day,

In Jesus' lovely face display'd. 3 Thou only, Lord, the work hast done,

And bared thine arm in all our sight; Hast made the reprobates thine own,

And claim'd the outcasts as thy right.

4 Thy single arm, almighty Lord,

To us the great salvation brought :
Thy Word, thy all-creating Word,

That spake at first the world from naught. 5 For this the saints lift up their voice,

And ceaseless praise to thee is given;
For this the hosts above rejoice

We raise the happiness of heaven.
6 For this, (no longer sons of night,)

To thee our thankful hearts we give ;
To thee, who call’dst us into light :

To thee we die, to thee we live.

ATHER of me and all mankind,

And all the hosts above,
Let every understanding mind

Unite to praise thy love!
2 To know thy nature and thy name,
One God in

persons
And glorify the great I AM,

Through all eternity.
3 Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,

To every heart of man:
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness,

In all our bosoms reign.
4 Thy righteousness our sins keep down,

Thy peace our passions bind;
And let us, in thy joy unknown,

The first dominion find.
5 The righteousness that never ends,

But makes an end of sin;
The joy that human thought transcends,

Into our souls bring in.

Which can no more remove;

Th' omnipotence of love.

4 Come then to thy servants again,

Who long thy appearing to know ;
Thy quiet and peaceable reign

In mercy establish below:
All sorrow before thee shall fly,
And
anger

and hatred be o'er ; And envy and malice shall die,

And discord afflict us no more. 5 No horrid alarum of war

Shall break our eternal repose ; No sound of the trumpet is there,

Where Jesus's Spirit o’erflows : Appeased by the charms of thy grace,

We all shall in amity join, And kindly each other embrace,

And love with a passion like thine. 486 Pelham-p. 128.]

S. M. VATHER, our hearts we lift

And thank thee for the precious gift

Of thine incarnate Şon!
The gift unspeakable

We thankfully receive,
And to the world thy goodness tell,

And to thy glory live. 2 Jesus, the holy child,

Doth by his birth declare That God and man are reco

econciled, And one in him we are. Salvation through his name

To all mankind is given,
And loud his infant cries proclaim

A peace 'twixt earth and heaven. 3 A peace on earth he brings,

Which never more shall end ;

The Lord of hosts, the King of kings,
Declares himself our friend;
Assumes our flesh and blood,
That we his grace may gain:
The everlasting Son of God,
The mortal son of man.
4 His kingdom from above
He doth to us impart,
And pure benevolence and love
O'erflow the faithful heart:
Changed in a moment, we
The sweet attraction find,
With open arms of charity
Embracing all mankind.
50 might they all receive

The new-born Prince of peace!

And meekly in his Spirit live,

And in his love increase!

Till he convey us home,

Cry every soul aloud,

Come, thou Desire of nations, come,

And take us up to God!
