4 Though earth and hell assail, And doubts and fears arise, The weakest shall prevail, And grasp the heavenly prize, And through an endless age record Thy love, thy changeless love, O Lord. LORD, thou art good! all nature shows Thy bounty through creation flows, 2 The whole in every part proclaims It shines in stars, and flows in streams, 3 We view it o'er the spreading main, 4 Through the whole earth it pours supplies, 5 Our highest admiration raise, Employ our tongues in songs of praise, 122 L. M. 6 lines. GREA REAT God of wonders, all thy ways But the bright glories of thy grace Beyond thine other wonders shine. Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 2 Pardon-from an offended God! Pardon-for sins of deepest dye! Pardon-bestowed through Jesus' blood! Pardon that brings us rebels nigh. Where is the pardoning God like thee? Or where the grace so rich and free? 3 0 may this glorious, matchless love— This godlike miracle of graceTeach mortal tongues, like those above, To raise this song of lofty praise. Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? GOD! how wonderful thou art, How beautiful thy mercy-seat In depths of burning light! 2 How dread are thine eternal years, 3 How beautiful, how beautiful The sight of thee must be, Thine endless wisdom, boundless power, And glorious purity! 4 O how we fear thee, Living God! With deepest, tenderest fears, And worship thee with trembling hope, 5 Yet we may love thee too, O Lord! For thou hast stooped to ask of us 60 then these worse than worthless hearts In pity deign to take, And make them love thee, for thyself 124 THE TRINITY. 7s. FATHER! be thy name adored, For the gift of Christ our Lord: 125 HOLY, holy, holy Lord, God of Hosts! when heaven and earth Out of darkness at thy word Issued into glorious birth, 2 All thy works before thee stood, Holy, holy, holy! Thee, Father, Son, and Spirit! we, 3 Holy, holy, holy! All Heaven's triumphant choirs shall sing, MAKER, Upholder, Ruler!-thee, Let all that live adore, Who art, and wast, and yet shalt be, 2 Redeemer, Prophet, Priest, and King! Appointed Judge of all! Let ransom'd souls thy triumphs sing, 3 Spirit of life, and light, and love! From heaven, descending like a dove, 4 Thee, Father, Son, and Spirit! thee, Thou art, thou wast, and thou shalt be, HOLY, holy, holy Lord! Bright in thy deeds and in thy name, For ever be thy name adored, Thy glories let the world proclaim! 2 O Jesus, Lamb once crucified To take our load of sins away, 3 O Holy Spirit from above, In streams of light and glory given, Thou source of ecstasy and love, Thy praises ring through earth and heaven! 4 O God triune, to thee we owe Our every thought, our every song; And ever may thy praises flow 128 From saint and seraph's burning tongue! 7s. MIGHTY God, the Holy One, How shall we approach thy throne! |
