6 On Thee we cast our care; we live
Through Thee, who know'st our everyneed;
O feed us with Thy grace, and give
Our souls this day the living bread!

L.M.
PART III.

J. WESLEY.

ETERNAL, spotless Lamb of God,

Before the world's foundation slain
Sprinkle us ever with Thy blood;
O cleanse, and keep us ever clean!
2 To every soul (all praise to Thee!)
Our bowels of compassion move;
And all mankind by this may see
God is in us; for God is love.

S Giver and Lord of life, whose power
And guardian care for all are free,
To Thee in fierce temptation's hour,
From sin and Satan let us flee.

4 Thine, Lord, we are, and ours Thou art, In us be all Thy goodness showed; Renew, enlarge, and fill our heart

With peace, and joy, and heaven, and God. 5 Blessing and honour, praise and love, Co-equal, co-eternal Three,

In earth below, and heaven above,
By all Thy works, be paid to Thee!
6 Thrice Holy! Thine the kingdom is,
The power omnipotent is Thine;
And when created nature dies,
Thy never-ceasing glories shine.

FATHER of earth and sky,

name we magnify:

C. WESLEY

O that earth and heaven might join,
Thy perfections to proclaim;
Praise the attributes Divine,

Fear and love Thy awful name!

When shall Thy Spirit reign
In every heart of man?

Father, bring the kingdom near,
Honour Thy triumphant Son;
God of heaven, on earth appear,
Fix with us Thy glorious throne.
Thy good and holy will,
Let all on earth fulfil;

Men with minds angelic vie,

Saints below with saints above, Thee to praise and glorify,

Thee to serve with perfect love.
This day with this day's bread
Thy hungry children feed;
Fountain of all blessings, grant
Now the manna from above;
Now supply our bodies' want,
Now sustain our souls with love.
Our trespasses forgive:

And when absolved we live,
Thou our life of grace maintain;
Lest we from our God depart,
Lose Thy pardoning grace again,
Grant us a forgiving heart.
In every fiery hour

Display Thy guardian power;
Near in our temptation stay,
With sufficient grace defend,
Bring us through the evil day,
Make us faithful to the end.
7 Father, by right divine,

Assert the kingdom Thine;
Jesus, Power of God, subdue
Thy own universe to Thee;
Spirit of grace and glory too,
Reign through all eternity.

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,

WATTS.

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 honours shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy name?

4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is Thy command;
Vast as eternity Thy love;

16

Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

ALL people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell'; Come ye before Him and rejoice. 2 Know ye, the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His flock, He doth us feed; And for His sheep He doth us take. 8 O enter, then, His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. 5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel host, Be praise and glory evermore.

COME, sound His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah!
2 He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

Come, worship at His throne;

Come, bow before the Lord:

We are His works, and not our own;
He formed us by His word.

To-day attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;

Come, like the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.

10s & 11s.

YE servants of God,

Your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad
His wonderful name,
The name all victorious
Of Jesus extol;

His kingdom is glorious,

And rules over all.

2 God ruleth on high,
Almighty to save;
And still He is nigh,
His presence we have;

C. WESLEY.

The great congregation
His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation

To Jesus our King.
3'Salvation to God,

Who sits on the throne,'-
Let all cry aloud,

And honour the Son!
Our Jesus's praises
The angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces,
And worship the Lamb.

4 Then let us adore,

And give Him His right,
All glory and power,
And wisdom and might,
All honour and blessing,
With angels above,
And thanks never-ceasing,
And infinite love.

5 O Jesus, lead on

Thy militant care,
And give us the crown
Of righteousness there,-
Where dazzled with glory
The seraphim gaze,
Or prostrate adore Thee
In silence of praise.

[blocks in formation]

YOUNG men and maidens, raise

Your tuneful voices high;

Old men and children, praise
The Lord of earth and sky;

Him Three in One, and One in Three,
Extol to all eternity.

2 The universal King

Let all the world proclaim;

Let every creature sing

His attributes and name!
