And rules the swelling seas.

Before his throne with songs appear. 2. His wondrous acts demand,

His wisdom and his grace,
The labours of our hands,
And transports of our praise.
Rehearse his name to ev'ry shore,

Where'er his pow'r his works proclaim. 3. The trumpet's martial voice,

The timbrel's softer sound,
The organ's solemn peal,
United praise resound,
To swell the song, with highest joy,
Let man employ his tuneful tongue.

REAT God, the nations of the earth

2.

G 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 treasur'd in thy mind. 3. Lord, when shall these glad tidings spread

The spacious earth around,
"Till ev'ry tribe, and ev'ry soul :

Shail hear the joyful sound ?

4. O when shall Afric's sable sons

Enjoy the heav'nly word,
And vassals long-enslav'd become

The freemen of the Lord ?

A dark, bewilder'd race,
Sit down at our Immanuel's feet,
And learn and feel his

grace ?

Their cruelty to love;
Soften the tyger to a Lamb,

The vulture to a dove.

To spread the gospel's rays,
And build on sin's demolish'd throne

The temples of thy praise.
