FA HYMNS. 141-a. ATHER of boundless grace, Thou hast in part fulfill'd Thy promise made to Adam's race, In God incarnate seal'd. A few from every land At first to Salem came, And saw the wonders of thy hand, And saw the tongues of flame. 2 Yet still we wait the end,— The coming of our Lord; In unexhausted grace; 3 Beloved for Jesus' sake, By him redeem'd of old, All nations must come in, and make One undivided fold: While gather'd in by thee, And perfected in one, They all at once thy glory see 31 139-u. My off'rings all be offer'd through Be fix'd on thee alone: Thy name be praised on earth, on high; Thy will by all be done. 779 Whose trusteth in the Lord shall 139-c be safe. COMMIT thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To his sure trust and tender care 2 Thou on the Lord rely, So, safe, shalt thou go on; Fix on his work thy steadfast eye, By self-consuming care; To him commend thy cause,-his ear survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glo- ry died, My rich-est gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 145 WH 65-c. Glorying only in the cross. 3 Sec, from his head, his hands, his feet, 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, $2 ERR 'RE mountains rear'd their forms sublime, Or heaven and earth in order stood, Before the birth of ancient time, From everlasting thou art God. At once their various scenes display. 3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream, A passing thought, that soon is o'er,That fades with morning's earliest beam, And fills the musing mind no more. 4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give, Each passing moment so to spend, That we at length with thee may live Where life and bliss shall never end. 54-b. SAVIOUR of all, to thee we bow, 2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest, And make the contrite heart thy heaven. 3 Smell the sweet odour of our prayers; Our sacrifice of praise approve; And treasure up our gracious tears, Who rest in thy redeeming love. 4 Beneath thy shadow let us sit; Call us thy friends, and love, and bride, And bid us freely drink and eat Thy dainties, and be satisfied. 493 There remaineth a rest for the people 62-a. of God. COME, O thou greater than our heart, And make thy faithful mercies known; The mind which was in thee impart : Thy constant mind in us be shown. 2 O let us by thy cross abide, Thee, only thee, resolved to know, The Lamb for sinners crucified, A world to save from endless wo. 3 Take us into thy people's rest, And we from our own works shall cease With thy meek Spirit arm our breast, And keep our minds in perfect peace. 4 Jesus, for this we calmly wait; O let our eyes behold thee near! Hasten to make our heaven complete; Appear, our glorious God, appear: Each other's bur - dens learn to bear, And thus thy law of love ful 1035 More blessed to give than to receive. ELP us, O Lord, thy yoke to wear, 1 Delighting in thy perfect will; Each other's burdens learn to bear, And thus thy law of love fulfil. 2 He that hath pity on the poor, Lendeth his substance to the Lord; And, lo! his recompense is sure, For more than all shall be restored. 3 Teach us, with glad, ungrudging heart, As thou hast blest our various store, From our abundance to impart A lib'ral portion to the poor. 4 To thee our all devoted be, In whom we breathe, and move, and live; Freely we have received from thee; Freely may we rejoice to give. 5 And while we thus obey thy word, Does not the promise still remain, 4 Poor I may be-despised, forgot, 1030 G1 47-b. God, the nation's guardian. 3 Thy kindness to our fathers shown 4 Led on by thine unerring aid, Thy first and noblest bounties share. 5 Great God, our guardian, guide, and friend! 34 OLMSTED. C. M. C. M. (75) W. 1. Praise ye the Lord, ye' immortal choirs That fill the worlds above; That fill the worlds, etc. Praise him who formed you of his fires, And feeds you with his love, And feeds you, etc. 111 God worthy of ceaseless praise from all his creatures. PRAISE ye the Lord, ye' immortal choirs That fill the worlds above; Praise him who form'd you of his fires, 2 Shine to his praise, ye crystal skies, Or veil in shades your thousand eyes 3 Thou restless globe of golden light, 4 Thunder and hail, and fire and storms, The troops of his command, Appear in all your dreadful forms, Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas, Let wave to wave resound his praise, 6 Thus while the meaner creatures sing, LET every tongue thy goodness speak, Thou sov'reign Lord of all; Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak, 2 When sorrows bow the spirit down, 3 Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel, Thou hear'st thy children's cry; And their best wishes to fulfil, Thy grace is ever nigh 4 Thy mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere: Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love Is join'd with holy fear. 5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, And spread thy fame abroad; Let all the sons of Adam raise The honours of their God. 2 But there's a voice of sov'reign grace 3 My soul obeys the gracious call, I would believe thy promise, Lord; 4 To the blest fountain of thy blood, Here let me wash my guilty soul 5 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, Be thou my strength and righteousness,—— My Jesus, and my all. 4 But now, when evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, 5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail; I know thy mercy cannot fail;— 68 Heaven and earth are full of His glory. 82–b. ETERNAL Wisdom! thee we praise, Thee the creation sings: With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace, rings. 2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky, How glorious to behold! Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, 3 There thou hast bid the globes of light 4 Thy glories blaze all nature round, 5 Infinite strength, and equal skill, 6 But the mild glories of thy grace, |
