2 Praise ye the Lord for all His loving kindness, And all the tender mercies He hath shown; Praise Him who pardons all our sin and blindness, And calls us sons, and takes us for His own. 3 Praise ye Jehovah, source of every blessing; Before His gifts earth's richest boons are dim; Resting in Him, His peace and joy possessing, All things are ours, for we have all in Him. 4 Praise ye the Father, God the Lord who gave us, With full and perfect love, His only Son; Praise ye the Son who died Himself to save us; Praise ye the Spirit, praise the Three in One!

2 Pure in their nature, good, and true, 'Tis their delight Thy will to do; From heaven they come the souls to guard
That trust in Thy most holy word. 3 They joy when but one sinner turns; Their zeal for Jesus ever burns; They serve His people night and day, And turn full many an ill away. 4 All little ones, awake, asleep,
And every child of Thine, they keep; O'er all Thy kingdom, far and near, They give their kind and loving care.
5 When death approaches, then they come,
To soften pain, and guide us home; And when the spirit leaves the clay, To waft us to the realms of day.
6 Give us, O Lord, the grace and power To serve Thee well each day and hour; Grant us the zeal and fervent love To serve as angels serve above.
7 Let these good spirits with us be, When in Thy house we worship Thee; And bid them all our path defend Till this our life on earth shall end. Latin, by Philip Melanchton, 1543
2 Taught by Thine unerring Spirit, Boldly we draw nigh to God; Only in Thy spotless merit, Only through Thy precious blood: By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
3 From the depth of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within, By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
4 When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour, By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
5 When the world around is smiling, In the time of wealth and ease, Earthly joys our hearts beguiling, In the day of health and peace, By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
6 In the weary hours of sickness, In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weakness, When all human help is vain: By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
7 In the solemn hour of dying, In the awful judgment day, May our souls, on Thee relying, Find Thee still our rock and stay: By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
John James Cummins, 1839
