4 Wake, all ye soaring throngs, and sing; Ye feathered warblers of the spring, Harmonious anthems raise
To him who shaped your finer mould, Who tipped your glittering wings with gold, And tuned your voice to praise.
5 Let man, by nobler passions swayed, Let man, in God's own image made, His breath in praise employ;
Spread wide his Maker's name around, Till heaven shall echo back the sound, In songs of holy joy.
FOURTH PART. H. M. Darwell's.
1 YE boundless realms of joy, Exalt your Maker's name: His praise your songs employ Above the starry frame:
Your voices raise, And seraphim,
2 Let all adore the Lord, And praise his holy name, By whose almighty word They all from nothing came;
His firm decree Stands ever fast.
FIFTH PART. H. M. Harwich.
1 YE tribes of Adam, join
With heaven, and earth, and seas, And offer notes divine
To your Creator's praise.
In worlds of light
Begin the song.
2 The shining worlds above In glorious order stand, Or in swift courses move By his supreme command.
And Pilt the word, He spake
To praise the Lord. From nothing came
3 Let all the nations fear The God that rules above; He brings his people near,
And makes them taste his love:
His honors high.
His saints shall raise
f 1 PRAISE the Lord! ye heavens, adore him; Praise him, angels in the height; Sun and moon, rejoice before him; Praise him, all ye stars of light!
2 Praise the Lord-for he hath spoken; Worlds his mighty voice obeyed; Laws which never can be broken, For their guidance he hath made. Hallelujah, Amen.
3 Praise the Lord-for he is glorious; Never shall his promise fail; God hath made his saints victorious, Sin and death shall not prevail. Hallelujah, Amen.
4 Praise the God of our salvation, Hosts on high his power proclaim; Heaven and earth, and all creation, Praise and magnify his name!
FIRST PART. C. M. Nottingham.
1 ALL ye that love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new;
Amidst the church, with cheerful voice, His later wonders shew.
2 The Jews, the people of his grace, Shall their Redeemer sing;
And Gentile nations join the praise, While Zion owns her King.
3 The Lord takes pleasure in the just, Whom sinners treat with scorn; The meek, who lie despised in dust, Salvation shall adorn.
4 Saints shall be joyful in their King, E'en on a dying bed:
And like the souls in glory sing,
For God shall raise the dead.
5 When Christ his judgment-seat ascends, And bids the world appear,
Thrones are prepared for all his friends, Who humbly loved him here.
149 SECOND Part. 10s & 11s. St. Michael's.
111 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. 2 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.
3 With glory adorned, his people shall sing
To God, who defence and plenty supplies: Their loud acclamations to him, their great King, Thro' earth shall be sounded, and reach to the skies.
4 Ye angels above, his glories who've sung,
In loftiest notes, now publish his praise: We mortals, delighted, would borrow your tongue; Would join in your numbers, and chant to your lays.
1 OH praise the Lord in that blest place, From whence his goodness largely flows: Praise him in heaven-where he his face Unveiled in perfect glory shows.
2 Praise him for all the mighty acts,
Which he in our behalf hath done; His kindness this return exacts, With which our praise should equal run.
3 Let all who vital breath enjoy,
The breath he doth to them afford, In just returns of praise employ: Let every creature praise the Lord.
f11 PRAISE ye the Lord-let praise employ, In his own courts, your songs of joy; The spacious firmament around Shall echo back the joyful sound.
2 Recount his works in strains divine,
His wondrous works-how bright they shine! Praise him for all his mighty deeds, Whose greatness all your praise exceeds. 3 Awake the trumpet's lofty sound, To spread your sacred pleasure round; Awake each voice-and strike each string, And to the solemn organ sing.
4 Let all, whom life and breath inspire, Attend, and join the blissful choir; But chiefly ye, who know his word, Adore, and love, and praise the Lord!
THIRD PART. C. M. St. Ann's. !! 1 IN God's own house pronounce his praise, His grace he there reveals;
To heaven your joy and wonder raise, For there his glory dwells.
2 Let all your sacred passions move, While you rehearse his deeds; But still the work of saving love, Your highest praise exceeds.
3 All that have motion, life, and breath Proclaim your Maker blest;
Yet when my voice expires in death, My soul shall praise him best.
150 FOURTH PART. 6s & 4s. Italian Hymn.
1 PRAISE ye Jehovah's name, Praise through his courts proclaim, Rise and adore:
High o'er the heavens above Sound his great acts of love,
While his rich grace we prove,
Vast as his power.
2 Now let the trumpet raise Sounds of triumphant praise, Wide as his fame:
There let the harp be found; Organs, with solemn sound, Roll your deep notes around, Filled with his name.
3 While his high praise ye sing, Shake every sounding string; Sweet the accord!
He vital breath bestows; Let every breath that flows His noblest fame disclose- Praise ye the Lord.
1 PRAISE the Lord-his glory bless— Praise him in his holiness;
Praise him as the theme inspires, Praise him as his fame requires.
2 Let the trumpet's lofty sound Spread its loudest notes around Let the harp unite in praise, With the sacred minstrel's lays. 3 Let the organ join to bless God, the Lord of righteousness; Tune your voice to spread the fame Of the great Jehovah's name.
4 All who dwell beneath his light, In his praise your hearts unite; While the stream of song is poured, Praise and magnify the Lord.
f 1 PRAISE-oh praise the name divine, Praise him at the hallowed shrine; Let the firmament on high To its Maker's praise reply.
2 All who vital breath enjoy,
In his praise that breath employ; Heaven and earth the chorus join; Praise-oh praise the name divine.
