ve, All people to bless

O praise ye the Lord! prepare your glad voice,
His praise in the great assembly to sing;.
In their great Creator let all men rejoice,

And heirs of salvation, be glad in their King.
Let them his great name devoutly adore;

In loud swelling strains his praises express,
Who graciously opens his bountiful store,

Their wants to relieve, and his children to bless.

With glory adorned, his people shall sing

To God, who defence and plenty supplies;

Their loud acclamations to him, their great King,

Through earth shall be sounded, and reach to the skies.

Ye angels above, whose anthems divine,

In loftiest notes, are sounding his praise,

With you in the rapture our spirits shall join,
And sing of the blessings our Saviour displays.

HYMN 476.

O worship the King all glorious above!
O gratefully sing his unsearchable love!
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Whose love is the splendour, inspiring to praise!

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail;
In Thee is our trust, which never can fail!
Thy mercies how tender! how sure to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend!

O wonderful might! ineffable love!
While angels delight to hymn thee above,

reation though feeble our lays.

O thou who, in mourning o'er friends who depart,
Desirest the comforts which faith can impart,
And prayest from doubting and gloom to be free,-
The voice of the Spirit is whispering to thee.

O heed thou its teachings, and learn to confide
In him who is ever our Guardian and Guide;
In meekness rely on the mercy above,-
The words of the Saviour are breathings of love.

O thou who art praying that mercy may win,
All nations and kindreds from error and sin,-
Attend thou in silence, and ponder thy plea;-
The voice of the Spirit is whispering to thee.
Our Father and Saviour is better than thou;-
Believe in his wisdom, and gratefully bow,-
Rejoice in the grace of the heavenly Dove-
The words of the Saviour are breathings of love.

The reign of transøression and darkness shall cease
