L. M.

'Ο

Lord's Prayer.

UR Father, thron'd in heav'n, divine,
To thy great name be praises paid;
Thy kingdom come,-Thy glory shine;
And thy good will be still obey'd.

2 Give us our bread from day to day,
And all our wants do thou supply:
With gospel-truth feed us, we pray,
That we may never faint, nor die.
3 Extend thy grace, our hearts renew,
Our each offence in love forgive;
Teach us divine forgiveness. too,
And freed from evil, let us live.
4 For thine's the kingdom, and the pow'r,
And all the glory waits thy name;
Let every saint thy grace adore,
And sound in songs their loud Amen.

HYMN 46. First Part.

Our Father.

C. M.

OV REIGN of all the worlds on high,
Allow our humble claim;

[heads,

Nor while poor worms would raise their

Disdain a Father's name.

2 Our Father God! how sweet the sound!

How tender and how dear!
Not all the melody of heav'n,
Could so delight the ear.

3 Come, sacred Spirit, seal the name
On my expanding heart;

And show, that in Jehovah's grace
I share a filial part.

4 Cheer'd by a signal so divine, Unwav'ring I believe:

1

Thou know'st, I, Abba, Father, cry,
Nor can thy word deceive.

HYMN 46. Second Part.

L. M.

Our Father and our Saviour are in Heaven.

ESCEND from heav'n, immortal Dove,

'D Stoop down and take us on thy wings;

And mount and bear us far above
The reach of these inferior things;
2 Beyond, beyond this lower sky,
Up where eternal ages roll,
Where solid pleasures never die,
And fruits immortal feast the soul.

3 O for a sight, a blissful sight

Of our almighty Father's throne!
There sits the Saviour crown'd with light,
Cloth'd in a body, like our own.

4 Adoring saints around him stand,

While thrones and pow'rs before him fall;
And God shines gracious thro' the man,
And sheds sweet glories on them all.

5 O what amazing joys they feel,
While to their golden harps they sing,
And sit on ev'ry heav'nly hill,

And spread the triumphs of their King!
6 When shall the day, dear Lord, appear,
That I shall mount, to dwell above,
And stand, and bow, and worship there,
And view thy face, and sing, and love?

HYMN 46.

Third Part.

C. M.

Rejoicing in God our Father.

YOME, shout aloud the Father's grace,
And sing the Saviour's love:

Soon shall you join the glorious theme
In loftier strains above.

2 God, the eternal, mighty God,
To dearer names descends:
Calls you his treasure and his joy,
His children and his friends.

3 My Father God! and may these lips
Pronounce a name so dear!

Not thus could heav'n's sweet harmony
Delight my list'ning ear.

4 Thanks to my God for ev'ry gift
His bounteous hands bestow;
And thanks eternal for that love
Whence all those comforts flow.

5 For ever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore;

1

Which gives ten thousand blessings now,
And bids me hope for more.

A

HYMN 47. First Part. C. M.
Hallowed be thy name.

MONG the princes, earthly gods, There's none hath pow'r divine; Nor are their names nor works, O Lord, Nor natures, like to thine.

2 Thy matchless pow'r, thy sov'reign sway, The nations shall adore;

Their long misguided prayers and praise To thee, O God, restore.

3 Let all confess thy name and know
The wonders thou hast done;
Let all adore thee, God supreme,
And own thee God alone.

4 While heav'n, and all who dwell on high, To thee their voices raise;

1

Let the whole earth assist the sky,
And join t' advance thy praise.

E

HYMN 47. Second Part. L. M.

The name of God exalted above all praise. TERNAL Pow'r! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of our God; Immensely far, beyond the bounds, Where stars revolve their little rounds.

2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tallest angel tries

To reach the height with wond'ring eyes.

3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?
We would adore our Maker too;

From sin and dust to thee we cry,
The Great, the Holy, and the High!

4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame,
And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name;
But O! the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.

5 God is in heav'n, but man below;
Rais'd be our thoughts; our words be few:
A sacred rev'rence checks our songs,
And praise sits silent on our tongues.

'Α

HYMN 48. First Part. L. M.

Thy kingdom come.

SCEND thy throne, almighty King, And spread thy glories all abroad; Let thine own arm salvation bring, And be thou known the gracious God. 2 Let millions bow before thy seat, Let humble mourners seek thy face; Bring daring rebels to thy feet, Subdued by thy victorious grace. 3 O! let the kingdoms of the world Become the kingdoms of the Lord; Let saints and angels praise thy name, Be thou thro' heav'n and earth ador'd.

B

HYMN 48. Second Part.

L. M.

Prayer for the spread of the gospel.
RIGHT as the sun's meridian blaze,
Vast as the blessings he conveys,
Wide as he shines from pole to pole,
And
permanent as his control:

2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come;
Let sin and hell's terrific gloom
Swift, at thy brightness, flee away,
And usher in the promis'd day.

3 Then shall the heathen, fill'd with awe,
Learn the blest knowledge of thy law:
And Antichrist, on ev'ry shore,

Fall from his throne to rise no more.

4 Then shall thy lofty praise resound
On Afric's shores-thro' Asia's ground;
And Europe with America

Shall stretch their eager arms to thee.
