BEVERLEY (66 66 88).

Greatorex's Parochial Psalmody, 1823.

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost."

1 I GIVE immortal praise

To God the Father's love, For all my comforts here,

And better hopes above;

He sent 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 sees the fruit of all His pains.

3 To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live;
His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

4 Almighty God, to Thee

Be endless honours done;

The undivided Three,

Yet the mysterious One!

Where reason fails with all her powers,
There faith prevails, and love adores.

BOHEMIA (II II II II).

FIRST TUNE.

German Melody of 15th Century.

"Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the heights."

1 PRAISE the Lord of heaven, praise Him in the height,
Praise Him, all ye angels, praise Him, stars and light;
Praise Him, skies, and waters, which above the skies,
When His word commanded, stablished did arise.

2 Praise the Lord, ye fountains of the deeps and seas,
Rocks and hills and mountains, cedars and all trees;
Praise Him, clouds and vapours, snow, and hail, and fire,
Stormy wind, fulfilling only His desire.

3 Praise Him, fowls and cattle, princes and all kings,
Praise Him, men and maidens, all created things;
For the name of God is excellent alone;

Over earth His footstool, over heaven His throne.
