Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.

2 Immortal honor to the Son,

Who makes thine anger cease; Our lives he ransom'd with his own, And dy'd to make our peace.

3 To thine Almighty Spirit be Immortal glory given,

Whose influence brings us near to thee, And trains us up for Heaven.

4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th' eternal God,

And spread his honors and their joys,
Through nations far abroad.

5 Let faith, and love, and duty join,
One general song to raise :

Let saints in earth and Heaven combine, In harmony and praise.

1 OD moves in a mysterious way,

G

His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sov'reign will.

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

HYMN 13. C. M.

1Hi

ADDISON.

Servants of God always safe.

OW are thy servants bless'd, O Lord,
How sure is their defence!

Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help, Omnipotence.

2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care;

Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.

3 When by the dreadful tempest borne,
High on the broken wave

They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save.

4 The storm is laid-the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will:

The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.

5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we'll adore;
We'll praise thee for thy mercies past;
And humbly hope for more.

UNIVERSAL PRAISE.

HYMN 14. 6, 4.

COM

MADAN'S COL.

OME, thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,

Help us to praise!

Father all glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,

Ancient of days.

2 Jesus, our Lord, arise,
Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall!
Let thine almighty aid
Our sure defence be made:
Our souls on thee be stay'd;
Lord, hear our call!

3. Come, thou incarnate Word
Gird on thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend!

Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness,

On us descend!

4 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour!
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

5 To the great ONE in THREE,
The highest praises be,
Hence evermore!

His sovereign majesty,
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

HYMN 15. L. M. WATTS.
God exalted above all praise.

ETERNAL power! whose high abode

Becomes the grandeur of a God

In vain the tallest angel tries

To reach thy height with wond'ring eyes. 2 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name;

But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 3 God is in heaven, but man below: Be short our tunes, our words be few: A sacred rev'rence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

HYMN 16. 5, 6. MADAN'S COL.
God's servants should praise him.

1 Y Your Master proclaim,

E servants of God,

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:
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 honor the Son:
