GOD THE FATHER: HIS PRAISES.

L. M.

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 The Lord, ye know, 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.
3 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;

1

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

S. M.

NOME, sound His praise abroad,

hymns of glory sing;

Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2 He form'd the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

1.

2.

3 Come, worship at His throne;
Come, bow before the Lord:
We are His works, and not our own;
He form'd us by His word.

4

3.

To-day attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;
Come, as the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.

7s & 6s.

EET and right it is to sing,
In every time and place,
Glory to our heavenly King,

The God of Truth and Grace:
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join:
Holy, holy, holy Lord,

Eternal praise be Thine!

2 Vying with that happy choir,
Who chant Thy praise above,
We on eagles' wings aspire,
The wings of faith and love:
Thee they sing with glory crown'd;
We extol the slaughter'd Lamb;
Lower if our voices sound,

Our subject is the same.

3 Father, God, Thy love we praise,
Which gave Thy Son to die;
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Alike we glorify;
Spirit, Comforter divine,

Praise by all to Thee be given,

Till we in full chorus join,

And earth is turn'd to heaven.

L. M.

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.

4.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to His fold again.

3 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.
4 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.

10s & 11s.

WORSHIP the King, All glorious above;

Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of days, [praise. Pavilion'd in splendour, And girded with 2 tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space! His chariots of wrath Deep thunder-clouds form, [storm. And dark is His path On the wings of the 3 Frail children of dust, And feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail : Thy mercies how tender! How firm to the end!

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

4 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love! While angels delight To hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, Though feeble their lays,

With true adoration Shall lisp to Thy praise. 6-8s 2nd Metre.

'LL praise my Maker while I've breath;

I'LL

Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.

2 Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God: He made the sky,

And earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth for ever stands secure;

He saves the' opprest, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain. 3 The Lord pours eye-sight on the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the labouring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow, and the fatherless,

And grants the prisoner sweet release.
