FIFTH PART. 8s 7s & 4s. Tamworth

mf 1 SONGS anew of honor framing,
Sing ye to the Lord alone;

All his wondrous works proclaiming-
Jesus wondrous works hath done!
Glorious victory-

His right hand and arm have won.

mf 2 Now he bids his great salvation

Through the heathen lands be told:
Tidings spread through every nation,
And his acts of grace unfold:

All the heathen

Shall his righteousness behold.

ff 3 Shout aloud--and hail the Saviour;
Jesus, Lord of all proclaim!
As ye triumph in his favor,
All ye lands declare his fame:
Loud rejoicing-

Shout the honors of his name!

FIRST PART. S. M.

Southfield.

The Majesty and Grace of Jehovah.

1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns,

Let all the nations fear;
Let sinners tremble at his throne,
And saints be humble there.

f 2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,

Let earth adore its Lord;

Bright cherubs his attendants stand,
Swift to fulfil his word.

3 In Zion stands his throne,
His honors are divine;

His church shall make his wonders known,
For there his glories shine.

P 4 How holy is his name!

[ocr errors]

How fearful is his praise!

Justice, and truth, and judgment join
In all his works of grace.

SECOND PART. S. M.

1 EXALT the Lord our God,
And worship at his feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is his seat.

2 When Israel was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,

Dover.

When Moses cried-when Samuel prayed-
He gave his people rest.

- 3 Oft he forgave their sins,

Nor would destroy their race;

And oft he made his vengeance known,
When they abused his grace.

f 4 Exalt the Lord our God,

100

Whose grace is still the same;
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.

FIRST PART. L. M. Old Hundred.

All Nations exhorted to Adoration and Praise.

1 WITH one consent, let all the earth,

To God their cheerful voices raise;
Glad homage pay, with awful mirth,
And sing before him songs of praise.

2 Convinced that he is God alone,

From whom both we and all proceed;
We, whom he chooses for his own,
The flock which he vouchsafes to feed.

3 Oh enter then his temple gate,

Thence to his courts devoutly press;
And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still his name with praises bless.

4 For he's the Lord-supremely good,
His mercy is forever sure;

His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.

SECOND PART. L. M.

Brewer

1 YE nations round the earth, rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
Serve him with cheerful heart and voice,
With all your tongues his glory sing.
2 The Lord is God-'tis he alone

Doth life, and breath, and being give:
We are his work-and not our own,
The sheep that on his pastures live.
f 3 Enter his gates with songs of joy,
With praises to his courts repair;
And make it your divine employ,

To pay your thanks and honors there.
P 4 The Lord is good-the Lord is kind;
Great is his grace-his mercy sure;
And all the race of man shall find
His truth from age to age endure.

THIRD PART. L. M.

Appleton.

1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy:
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create-and he destroy.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay-and formed us men;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people-we his care-
Our souls, and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?

4 We'll crowd thy gates, with thankful songs,
High, as the heaven, our voices raise;
And earth, with all her thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide-as the world-is thy command,
Vast-as eternity-thy love;
Firm-as a rock-thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

100

FOURTH PART. C. M. Berwick.

1 O ALL ye lands, in God rejoice,
To him your thanks belong;

In strains of gladness, raise your voice,
In loud and joyful song.

2 Oh, enter ye his courts with praise,
His love to all proclaim;

To God the song of triumph raise,
And magnify his name.

3 For he is gracious, just, and good;
His mercy ever sure,

100

Through ages past has ever stood,
And ever shall endure.

FIFTH PART. S. M. Silver Street.

1 SING to the Lord most high;

Let every land adore;

With grateful heart and voice make known
His goodness and his power.

2 Enter his courts with joy ;

With fear address the Lord;

"Twas he, who formed us with his hand,
And quickened by his word.

3 His hands provide our food,

And every blessing give;
We're guarded by his daily care,
And on his bounty live.

4 Good is the Lord our God;
His truth and mercy sure;
And while eternity shall last,
His promises endure.

FIRST PART. L. M.

Dunstan.

Compassion of God for the Distressed.

1 DOWN from his lofty throne on high He looked-the Lord the world surveyed, He saw the race in ruin lie,

He pitied-and his grace displayed.

2 He hears the groaning prisoner's voice,
He hears the suppliant's trembling breath
From bonds released, the slaves rejoice;
He frees the captives doomed to death!

f 3 Let Zion now his name repeat,

102

His church his wonders shall record, Till kingdoms, crowding round his seat, Own him their Saviour, and their Lord.

SECOND PART. L. M.

Human Frailty and Divine Immutability.
1 SWIFT as declining shadows pass,
Our days in quick succession fly;
And, transient as the withering grass,
Amid our youthful hopes we die.

2 But thou, our Saviour, shalt endure,
Thy years unchanged, eternal Lord!
Thy grace through every age is sure,
And firm the promise of thy word.

102

THIRD PART. L. M.

1 IT is the Lord, our Saviour's hand
Impairs our strength amid the race;
Disease and death, at his command,

Arrest us, and cut short our days.

Aff 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our sun go down at noon:
Thy years are one eternal day,

mf

And must thy children die so soon?

3 Yet, in the midst of death and grief,

Bath.

Bath.

This thought our sorrows shall assuage 'Our Father and cur Saviour lives;

Thou art the same through every age.'

4 Before thy face, thy church shall live,
And on thy throne thy children reign:
This fading world shall they survive,
And rise to glorious life again.
