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
Its mighty Author kind:

Thy bounty through creation flows,
Full, free, and unconfined.

2 The whole in every part proclaims
Thy infinite good will;

It shines in stars, and flows in streams,
And bursts from every hill.

3 We view it o'er the spreading main,
And heavens which spread more wide;
It drops in gentle showers of rain,
And rolls in every tide.

4 Through the whole earth it pours supplies,
Spreads joy through every part:
O may such love attract our eyes,
And captivate our heart!

5 Our highest admiration raise,
Our best affections move!

Employ our tongues in songs of praise,
And fill our souls with love!

REAT God of wonders, all thy ways
Are worthy of thyself-divine;

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,
Thy Majesty, how bright!

How beautiful thy mercy-seat

In depths of burning light!

2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord!
By prostrate spirits day and night
Unceasingly adored!

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,
And penitential tears.

5 Yet we may love thee too, O Lord!
Almighty as thou art,

For thou hast stooped to ask of us
The love of each poor heart.

60 then these worse than worthless hearts In pity deign to take,

And make them love thee, for thyself
And for thy glory's sake.

THE TRINITY.

FATHER! be thy name adored,

For the gift of Christ our Lord:
For the glorious fulness great,
We poor sinners in him meet.
2 Jesus! we thy name would praise,
For thy love in ancient days:
Thou didst undertake our cause,
And didst suffer on the cross.
3 Holy Spirit! Dove Divine!
Let thy mercy on us shine?
O! reveal the things of God,
And apply the Saviour's blood.
7s, double.

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,
And thine eye beheld them good,
While they sang with sweet accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Holy, holy, holy! Thee,
One Jehovah evermore,

Father, Son, and Spirit! we,
Dust and ashes, would adore;
Lightly by the world esteem'd,
From that world by thee redeem'd,
Sing we here with glad accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

3 Holy, holy, holy! All

Heaven's triumphant choirs shall sing,
When the ransom'd nations fall
At the footstool of their King:
Then shall saints and seraphim,
Hearts and voices swell one hymn,
Round the throne with full accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

MAKER, Upholder, Ruler!-thee,

Let all that live adore,

Who art, and wast, and yet shalt be,
God blessed evermore.

2 Redeemer, Prophet, Priest, and King! Appointed Judge of all!

Let ransom'd souls thy triumphs sing,
And foes before thee fall.

3 Spirit of life, and light, and love!
To us thy gifts impart;

From heaven, descending like a dove,
Come dwell in every heart.

4 Thee, Father, Son, and Spirit! thee,
Let heaven and earth adore;

Thou art, thou wast, and thou shalt be,
One God for evermore.

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,
Thine be the song that rolls its tide
Along the realms of upper day!

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,
Dwelling in eternity!

How shall we approach thy throne!
How should sinners come to thee!
