THE

PART I.

HE God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love:

f Jehovah, Great I AM!

By earth and heaven confest ;
I bow and bless the sacred Name,
For ever blest.

mf 2 The God of Abraham praise,
At Whose supreme command
From earth I rise and seek the joys
At His right hand:

I all on earth forsake,

Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him my only Portion make
My Shield and Tower.

f3 The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days,
In all my ways.

He calls a worm His friend,
He calls Himself my God,
And He shall save me to the end
Through Jesu's blood.

af 4 He by Himself hath sworn,
I on His oath depend;

I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:

" I shall behold His face,

I shall His power adore,

ƒ And sing the wonders of His grace For evermore.

PART II.

f 1 THE goodly land I see,

With peace and plenty blessed;

A land of sacred liberty

And endless rest:

There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound;
And trees of life for ever grow,
With mercy crowned.

mf WE praise, we worship Thee, O God;

Thy sovereign power we sound
abroad;

All nations bow before Thy throne,
And Thee the Eternal Father own.

f 2 Loud hallelujahs to Thy name

Angels and seraphim proclaim;
The heavens and all the powers on high
With rapture constantly do cry,-

3 "O, holy, holy, holy Lord,

cr Thou God of Hosts, by all adored; f Earth and the heavens are full of Thee, Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty."

4 ST. OSWALD.

4 Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud immortal song ;
Prophets enraptured hear the sound,
And spread the hallelujah round.

f 5 Victorious martyrs join their lays
And shout the omnipotence of grace,
While all Thy Church, through all the
earth,

Acknowledge and extol Thy worth.

f 6 Glory to Thee, O God, most high !
Father, we praise Thy majesty ;
The Son, the Spirit, we adore;
One Godhead, blest for evermore. Amer

A men.

f4 Fathers to sons shall teach Thy name,
And children learn Thy ways;
Ages to come Thy truth proclaim,
And nations sound Thy praise.

mf 5 Thy glorious deeds of ancient date

Shall through the world be known; f Thine arm of power, Thy heavenly state, With public splendour shown.

mf 6 The world is governed by Thy hands, Thy saints are ruled by love; f And Thine eternal kingdom stands, Though rocks and hills remove. Amen I. WATTS, v. 6, 7. I altd.

But in the conscious breast;

Present to faith, though veiled from sight,
There doth His Spirit rest.

O come, Thou Presence Infinite!
And make Thy creature blest. Amen.

For of gods He is the God:
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Filled the new-made world with light:

Ever faithful, ever sure.

Caused all day his course to run:

Ever faithful, ever sure.

'Mong her spangled sisters bright:

Ever faithful, ever sure.]

His full hand supplies their need:

Ever faithful, ever sure.

In the wasteful wilderness :
