C.M.

How glorious is our heavenly King,
Who reigns above the sky!
How shall a child presume to sing
His dreadful majesty ?

How great His power is, none can tell!
Nor think how large His grace;
Not men below, nor saints that dwell
On high before His face.

Not angels that stand round the Lord
Can search His secret will;

But they perform His heavenly word,
And sing His praises still."

Then let me join this holy train,
And my first offerings bring,
The eternal God will not disdain
To hear an infant sing.

My heart resolves, my tongue obeys,
And angels shall rejoice

To hear their mighty Maker's praise
Sound from a feeble voice.

Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D. (died 1748).

Come, let us all unite and sing

God is love!

While heaven and earth their praises bring-
God is love !

Let every soul from sin awake,

Each in his heart sweet music make,
And sweetly sing for Jesus' sake-
God is love!

O tell to earth's remotest bound-
God is love!

In Christ is full redemption found-
God is love!

His blood can cleanse our sins away;
His Spirit turns our night to day,
And leads our souls with joy to say-
God is love!

How happy is our portion here-
God is love

His promises our spirits cheer-
God is love!

He is our Sun and Shield by day,
By night He near our tents will stay,
He will be with us all the way-
God is love!

What though our heart and flesh should fail-
God is love!

Through Christ we shall o'er death prevail-
God is love!

Through Jordan's swell we will not fear,
For Jesus will be with us there,
Our soul above the waves to bear-
God is love!

In Zion we shall sing again-
God is love!

Yes, this shall be our highest strain,-
God is love!

Whilst endless ages roll along,

In concert with the heavenly throng,
This shall be still our sweetest song-
God is love!

For all that God in mercy sends;

For health and children, home and friends,
For comfort in the time of need.
For every kindly word and deed,
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk,

For everything give thanks!
