I PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING. HYMN 1. L. M. BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone; 2 His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; 5 Wide as the world is thy command; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, 1 HYMN 2. L. M. Y God, my Life, thy various praise 4 Let endless honours crown thy head; HYMN 3. C. M. 1 E humble souls, approach your God With songs of sacred praise; For He is good, immensely good, 2 All nature owns his guardian care; 3 He gave his Son, his only Son, 'Tis here he makes his goodness known In its diviner forms. 4 To this dear refuge, Lord, we come; A safe defence, a peaceful home, 5 Thine eye beholds with kind regard Their humble hope thou wilt reward 6 Great God, to thy almighty love 1 HYMN 4. C. M. ORD, when our raptur'd thought surveys All nature joins to teach thy praise, 2 Where'er we turn our gazing eyes, 3 The living tribes of countless forms The meanest flies, the smallest worms, 4 Thy wisdom, pow'r, and goodness, Lord, 5 From thee the breath of life he drew; His brittle frame sustains. 6 Yet nobler favours claim his praise, By revelation's brightest rays 7 Ou us thy providence has shone With gentle, smiling rays; 1 O may our lips and lives make known G HYMN 5. L. M. IVE to our God immortal praise! When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, he spread the sky, When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5 He sent his Son with pow'r to save Repeat his mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat. 1 His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more. F ROM all that dwell below the skies, Let the Redeemer's name be sung |
