As still shall be through endless days.

BY angels in heav'n

As it has been, now is,
And ever shall be.

With Christ and the Spirit, one God ever bless'd,
All glory and worship from earth and from heav'n,

ALL glory and praise to the Father be given,
The Son and the Spirit from earth and from heaven;

And ever shall be, to the God of salvation.

TO the Father, to the Son,
And Spirit ever bless'd,

Praise from all above, below,
As throughout the ages past,
Now is given, and shall be so
While endless ages last.

When used to Hymn 185, in line 6 read,

As was throughout the ages past.

COME, let us adore him, come, bow at his feet,
O give him the glory, the praise that is meet;
Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise,

And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

Whenever the Hymns are used at the celebration of divine service, a certain portion or portions of the Psalms of David in metre shall also be sung.

Almighty Father! bless the word,
Almighty Lord! before thy throne,
Although the vine its fruits deny,

And are we now brought near to God,
And wilt thou, O eternal God,
And will the Judge descend?
Another six days' work is done,
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat,
Arise, my soul! with rapture rise!
As panting in the sultry beam,
As when the weary trav'ller gains,
As o'er the past my memory strays,

As the sweet flow'r that scents the morn,

God of our Fathers! by whose hand
Go forth, ye heralds, in my name
"Go preach my gospel," saith the Lord,
Grace! 'tis a charming sound!
Great first of beings! mighty Lord,
Great God! this sacred day of thine,
Great God! to thee my evening song,
Great God! what do I see and hear?
Great God! with wonder and with praise
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,

[blocks in formation]

Hark! from the tombs a mournful sound,
Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes,
Hark! the herald angels sing,

Hasten, sinner, to be wise;

Hear, gracious God, my humble moan,

Hear what the voice from heaven declares,
