5 But let the creatures fall around; Let death consign us to the ground; Let the last general flame arise, And melt the arches of the skies:6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we Can all the wreck of nature see; While grace secures us an abode Unshaken as the throne of God. 69. "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity?" Micah vii. 18. P. M. 1 GREAT God of wonders, all Thy ways And in the honour none shall share. 4 Oh, may this glorious, matchless love, 70. 1 2 3 Who is a pardoning God like Thee? "The God of Abraham." Gen. xxxi. 42. THE God of Abraham praise, By earth and heaven confessed: The God of Abraham praise, At whose supreme command, From earth we rise, and seek the joys We all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power; The God of Abraham praise, Shall guide us through the wilderness, To see His face. He is our faithful Friend; He is our gracious God; And He will save us to the end, 4 He by Himself hath sworn, We shall, on eagle-wing upborne, We shall behold His face, 5 The whole triumphant host 66 Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" Hail, Abraham's God and ours! We join the heavenly lays, HYMNS OF PRAISE TO THE REDEEMER. 71. "The Brightness of his Glory and the express Image of his person." Heb. i. 3. P. M. 1 THOU art the Everlasting Word, God manifestly seen and heard, Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou, 3 True Image of the Infinite, Whose Essence is concealed; 4 But the high mysteries of Thy name 5 Yet, loving Thee, on whom His love Thy glorious worshippers above, 6 Throughout the universe of bliss, The eternal theme of praise is this, Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou, 72. "And every creature...heard I saying, Blessing, honour, glory, and power be...unto the Lamb." Rev. v. 13. C. M. 1 We sing to Thee, Thou Son of God, Fountain of life and grace! We praise Thee, Son of Man, whose blood 2 Thee we acknowledge God and Lord, 3 To Thee all angels cry aloud, Of glory and of hosts! 4 The prophets' goodly fellowship, In radiant garments drest, Praise Thee, Thou Son of God! and reap The fulness of Thy rest. |
