May we as Angels on our Thrones

HV MN LXI.
WE give immortal Praise
To God the Father's Love
For all our Comforts here,
And better Hopes above.
He fent his own
Eternal Son,
To die for Sins
That Man had done.
2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal Glory too,
Who bought us with his Blood,
From everlasting Woe.
And now he lives,
And now he reigns,
And fees the Fruit
Of all his Pains.
3 To God the Spirit's Name,
Immortal Worship give;
Whose new-creating Pow'r
Makes the dead Sinner live.
His Work compleats
The great Defign,
And fills the Soul
With Joy divine.
4 Almighty God, to thee
Be endless Honours done;
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One!
Where Reason fails
With all her Pow'rs,
There Faith prevails
And Love adores.
HYMN
COME, thou almighty King,
Help us thy Name to fing,
Help us to praise !
Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Antient of Days!
2 Jefus, our Lord, arise,
Scatter our Enemies,
And make them fall!
Let thine almighty Aid
Our fure Defence be made,
Our Sculs on thee be stay'd;
Lord, hear our Call!
3 Come, thou incarnate Word,
Gird on thy mighty Sword,
Our Pray'r attend!
Come and thy People bless,
And give thy Word Succefs,
Spirit of Holiness,
On us defcend!
4 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy facred Witness bear,
In this glad Hour!
Thou who a mighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry Heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of Pow'r!
5 To the great One in Three
Eternal Praises be
Hence evermore!
His fov'reign Majesty
May we in Glory fee,
And to Eternity
Love and adore.
HYMN
IHAIL, hail, reviv'd reviving Spring!
Fair Type of Heav'n's eternal Year!
While Nature's Works thy Praises fing,
Lo, Gratitude falutes thee here!
Swell, gently fwell the folemn Song,
Now pour the bounding Notes along;
Teach Choirs below to Choirs above
To echo back the common Lay;
And as they praise unbounded Love,
To join in Bounty's Holiday.
CHOR U S.
To God the univerfal King,
Be facred every grateful Choir!
In ceafelefs Hymns, all Praifes fing,
That endless Bounty can inspire!
2 All loft beneath stern Winter's Reign,
Creation's genial Powers appear'd;
Spring call'd them into Life again,
See! budding Verdure fhews they heard
Blefs, blefs, O Man! the kind Defign,
Whose nobler Counter-Part is thine:
Thy Powers a gloomier Winter froze,
Till thy Meffiah's cheering Ray,
Prolific of fair Truth arofe,
And shed the Blaze of mental Day.
3 All spotless as the Truth he taught,
Free as the Mercy he display'd,
He fhew'd what human Duty ought,
He did what heav'nly Goodness bade;
Enforc'd each juft Command he gave,
Nor liv'd, nor dy'd in vain to save.
His Realms on high, his Worlds below,
All witness'd his unwearied Care;
The Victim here of gen'ral Woe,
The Captain of Salvation there.
CHO. To God, &c.
HYMN LXIV.
1 BENIGN Creator, bounteous Lord,
Wheree'er I turn my ravish'd Eyes, Fruits of thy Wisdom, Power and Love, In beauteous, various Order rise.
2 The flow'ry Meads, the verdant Vales,
The bleating Flocks, the lowing Kine,
The fpringing Herb, the blooming Trees,
All in thy joyful Praises join.
3 Hark, how the facred Theme resounds!
Whilt the fweet Warblers of the Grove,
Wing through the Air their traceless Way,
With fuft harmonious Notes of Love.
4 My Soul, and canft thou filent lie
Beneath the Bounties of thy God?
Awake, my Heart, awake, my Tongue,
And spread your Maker's Praise abroad,
