With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign.
4 Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and One in glory, While eternal ages run.
From John Mason Neale. 1851.
1 COME Thou now, and be among us, Lord and Maker, while we pray: Let Thy presence fill the temple Which we dedicate to-day; And, Thyself its Consecrator, Dwell within its walls alway.
2 Grant that all Thy faithful people May Thy truer temple be; Neither flesh, nor soul, nor spirit, Know another Lord than Thee; But, to Thee once dedicated,
Serve Thee everlastingly.
3 Bright be here the Monarch's altar, With the presents that we bring; Held in holy veneration,
Rich with many an offering; Ever hallowed, ever quiet,
Ever dear to God its King.
4 Here our souls, as Thy true altars, Deign to hallow and to bless, O Thou future Judge of all men, With Thy grace and holiness: That Thy gifts, sent down from heaven, We may evermore possess.
5 Praise and honor to the Father; Praise and hopor to the Son; Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; Consubstantial, coeternal, While unending ages run.
1 LORD of hosts, to Thee we raise Here a house of prayer and praise; Thou Thy people's hearts prepare Here to meet for praise and prayer. 2 Let the living here be fed
With Thy Word, the heavenly bread; Here, in hope of glory blest,
May the dead be laid to rest. 3 Here to Thee a temple stand, While the sea shall gird the land; Here reveal Thy mercy sure, While the sun and moon endure. 4 Hallelujah!-earth and sky To the joyful sound reply; Hallelujah!-hence ascend
Prayer and praise till time shall end.
1 LET all the earth their voices raise, To sing the choicest psalm of praise, To sing and bless Jehovah's Name: His glory let the heathen know, His wonders to the nations show,
And all His saving works proclaim.
2 He framed the globe; He built the sky; He made the shining worlds on high, And reigns complete in glory there: His beams are majesty and light; His beauties, how divinely bright! His temple, how divinely fair!
3 Come the great day, the glorious hour, When each shall feel His saving power,
And barbarous nations fear His Name: Then shall the race of men confess The beauty of His holiness,
And in His courts His grace proclaim. Watts. 1719.
1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His Love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost.
6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.
1 GREAT God, the nations of the earth Are by creation Thine;
And in Thy works, by all beheld,
Thy radiant glories shine.
2 But, Lord, Thy greater Love has sent Thy Gospel to mankind,
Unveiling what rich stores of grace Are treasured in Thy mind.
3 Lord, when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, Till every tribe and every soul Shall hear the joyful sound?
4 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt To spread the gospel's rays;
And build, on sin's demolished throne, The temples of Thy praise.
1 O'ER those gloomy hills of darkness Look, my soul, be still and gaze: All the promises do travail
With a glorious day of grace. Blessed Jubilee,
Let thy glorious morning dawn.
2 Let the Indian, let the negro, Let the rude Barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest, Once obtained on Calvary;
Wide resound from pole to pole.
3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night; And redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day. 4 May the glorious day approaching, Thine eternal Love proclaim, And the everlasting Gospel Spread abroad Thy holy Name O'er the borders
Of the great Immanuel's land. 5 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway Thy sceptre,
Savior, all the world around.
William Williams. 1772. a.
1 FROM Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though.every prospect pleases, And only man is vile:
In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown: The heathen, in his blindness, Bows down to wood and stone.
