Join, all my powers, And praise the Lord.
+HYMN 48. P. M. [#] Jehovah reigns.
I JEHOVAH reigns! let every nation hear, And at his footstool bow, with holy fear: Let heaven's high arches echo with his name, And all the peopled earth his praise proclaim; Wide, and more wide, the homage still extending Through boundless space, and ages'never ending. 2 He rules, with wide and absolute command, O'er the wild ocean and the steadfast land; Jehovah reigns unbounded and alone, And all creation hangs beneath his throne : He reigns alone; let no inferior nature Usurp the honours of the sole Creator.
3 He bade the struggling beams of infant light Shoot through the massy gloom of ancient night; His spirit hushed the elemental strife,
And fed the kindling flame of nature's life; Seasons and months began their long procession, And measured o'er the year in bright succession.
HYMN 49. 7's M. [#] Glory to God.
1 GLORY be to God on high! God, whose glory fills the sky: Lift your voice, ye people all, Praise the God on whom ye call.
2 God his sovereign sway maintains; King o'er all the earth he reigns: All to him lift up their eye; Every want his hands supply.
3 Sons of earth, the triumph join, Praise him with the host divine; Emulate the heavenly powers; Their all-gracious God is ours. 4 Him, whose joy is to restore, Him, let all our hearts adore; Earth and heaven repeat the cry, Glory be to God on high!
HYMN 50. 7's M. [#] Supreme Adoration.
1 HOLY, holy, holy Lord, Be thy glorious name adored! Lord, thy mercies never fail ; Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear, Deign our humble songs to hear Purer praise we hope to bring, When around thy throne we sing.
3 There no tongue shall silent be; Al shall join in harmony;
And through heaven's capacious round, Praise to thee shall ever sound.
4 Lord, thy mercies never fail; Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Be thy glorious name adored!
HYMN 51. C. M. [#]
Divine Perfections celebrated.
1 THE glories, Lord, thy works proclaim, Our pious wonder raise;
Thy Word still more reveals thy name, Ånd more exalts thy praise.
2 Thy mercies, far beyond the rounds Of earth and heaven extend; Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds Where time and nature end.
3 Thy righteousness maintains its throne, Though mountains sink to dust; Thy judgments are a deep unknown, Yet always wise and just.
4 Unbounded is thy goodness, Lord! How bright its wonders shine! Of present, past, and future good, The glory all be thine.
HYMN 52. C. M. [#]
Gratitude for divine Mercies.
1 WHEN all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise.
2 To all my weak complaints and cries Thy mercy lent an ear,
Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned To form themselves in prayer.
3 Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed.
4 Through hidden dangers, toils and death, It gently cleared my way,
And saved me from those scenes of vice Where thousands go astray.
HYMN 53. L. M. [#]
Preserving Goodness.
1 ETERNAL God, we bless thy name; The same thy power, thy grace the same; The tokens of thy friendly care Open, and close, and crown the year. 2 Supported by thy guardian hand, Amidst ten thousand deaths we stand, And see, when we survey thy ways, Ten thousand monuments of praise. 3 Thus far thine arm has led us on,
Thus far we make thy mercy known; And, whilst we tread this desert land, New mercies shall new songs demand.
4 Our grateful voice, on Jordan's shore, Shall raise one sacred pillar more; Then bear, within thy courts above, Inscriptions of immortal love.
HYMN 54. 11's. M. [#]
God our Shepherd and Guardian.
1 THE Lord is our Shepherd, our Guardian and Guide;
Whatever we want he will kindly provide : His care and protection his flock will surround; To them will his mercies forever abound.
2 The Lord is our Shepherd; what, then, shall we fear?
Shall dangers affrighten us while he is near? O, no: when he calls us we'll walk through the
The shadow of death, but our hearts shall not fail. 3 Afraid, of ourselves, to pursue the dark way, Thy rod and thy staff be our comfort and stay: We know by thy guidance, when once it is past To life and to glory it brings us at last.
4 The Lord is become our salvation and song, His blessings have followed us all our life long ; His name will we praise, while he lends to us breath,
Be joyful through life, and resigned in our death.
HYMN 55. C. M. [#]
Divine Protection.
1 HOSANNA, with a cheerful sound, To God's upholding hand! Ten thousand snares attend us round, And yet secure we stand.
