2 Before our Father's feet,
We love with those to meet,
Who fear His holy name;
Who, hearts and voices raise
To celebrate His praise,

And spread His righteous fame.

3 The same almighty love,
That fills each heart above,
And tunes each golden lyre;
Invites our cheerful songs,
Inspires our grateful tongues,
With holy rapturous fire.

4 We'll banish every dread,
Our hearts before Him spread,
In all their grateful joy;
The light we have perceived,
The powers we have received,
His service shall employ.

5 We'll praise Him all our days,
We'll sing His wondrous ways,
And loud His love proclaim;
Until with yon blest throng,
We join the nobler song

Of Moses and the Lamb.

And every conflict's o'er;
There we shall dwell in endless peace,
And never hunger more.

Enraptured myriads sing;

For God Himself is King.

But soon shall gain our rest.

GOD of heaven, whose power benign
Doth o'er the world in mercy shine,
Accept our praise, for we are Thine.

2 O Father uncreated Lord,
Be thou in every land adored;
Be thou by all with faith implored.

3 O Son of God, for sinners slain,
We bless Thee Lord, whose dying pain
For us did endless life regain.

4 O Holy Ghost, whose guardian care,
Doth us for heavenly joys prepare,
May we in Thy communion share.

5 O holy, blessed Trinity,

With faith we sinners bow to Thee;
In us, O God, exalted be.

WHILE these commands endure,

These promises are sure;

And 'tis an easy task

To knock, to seek, to ask.

Sinner, hast thou the willing mind?
Saint, art thou thus inclined ?
Dost thou expect, desire, believe ?
Then knock and enter, seek and find,
Ask and receive.

1 RETURN, once more return,
wand'rer to thy God;

A voice yet on thee calls;
A finger points the road.

2 Where'er thy steps are bent,
Death hovers by thy side;

Thou knowest not what an hour
May to thy fate betide.

3 Behold the mighty sun,
He metes out day by day;

6.6.6.6.

Each new-moon's circuit saith, A month hath pass'd away." 4 The seasons to thy heart, Still whisper, as they roll; "Nearer and nearer draws To judgment-day thy soul." 5 Before the Cross cast down The burden of thy sin ; The Old Man crucify, And a new life begin.

6 So, walking in the light
By Revelation given,

Through darkness and through death,
Thy path shall lead to heaven.

JERUSALEM divine,

6.6.8.6.6.8.

When shall I call thee mine?

And to thy holy hill attain

Where weary pilgrims rest, And in thy glories blest, With God Messiah ever reign ? There saints and angels join In fellowship divine,

And rapture swells the solemn lay :

While all with one accord.

Adore their glorious Lord,

And shout His praise in endless day.
