Who may share this great salvation?
Every pure and humble mind;
Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the dross of guilt refin'd:
Blessings all around bestowing,
God withholds his care from none;
Grace and mercy ever flowing
From the fountain of his throne.
3

Every stain of guilt abhorring,
Firm and bold in virtue's cause,
Still thy Providence adoring,
Faithful subjects of thy laws,-
Lord! with favour still attend us;
Bless us with thy wondrous love;
Thou, our Sun and Shield, defend us ;-
All our hope is from above.

28.

The God of Mercy adored.

1

PRAISE to God, the great Creator,
Bounteous Source of all our joy!
'Tis his hand upholds all nature,
And his word can all destroy :
Saints, with pious zeal attending,
Now the grateful tribute raise;
Solemn songs to heaven ascending,
Join the universal praise:

2

Round his awful footstool kneeling,
Lowly bend with contrite souls;
Here his milder grace revealing,
Here his wrath no thunder rolls:
Lo! the eternal page before us
Bears the covenant of his love;
Full of mercy to restore us,
Mercy beaming from above,

3

Every secret fault confessing,

Deed unrighteous, thought of sin;
Seize, oh seize, the proffer'd blessing,
Grace from God, and peace within :
Heart and voice with rapture swelling,
Still the song of glory raise;
On the theme immortal dwelling,
Join the universal praise.

29.

Universal Praise.

1

PRAISE to thee, thou great Creator!
Praise be thine from every tongue :
Join, my soul, with every creature;
Join the universal song.

2

For ten thousand blessings given,
For the hope of future joy,

Sound his praise through earth and heaven;
Sound Jehovah's praise on high.

30.

Universal Praise.

1

FROM all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise:

Let his redeeming love be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

2

Eternal are thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

31.

Praise on Earth and in Heaven.

1

HOLY, holy, holy Lord!

Be thy glorious name ador'd:
Lord thy mercies never fail
Hail, celestial Goodness, hail!

2

Though unworthy of thine ear,
Yet our hallelujahs hear:
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.

3

While on earth ordain'd to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way;
Then on high we'll joyful raise
Songs of everlasting praise.

4

There no tongue shall silent be;
All shall join in harmony;

And through heaven's all-spacious round,
Praise to thee shall ever sound.

5

Lord thy mercies never fail :
Hail, celestial Goodness, hail!

Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Be thy glorious name ador'd.

32.

General Thanksgiving.

1

FATHER of mercies! let our songs

With thee acceptance find: Thy loving-kindness we adore, To us and all mankind.

2

Thanks for creation are thy due,
For life preserv'd by thee,
And all the blessings life affords,
So great and yet so free.

3

Thanks for redemption, above all,
To us through Jesus given :
Thanks for the means of grace on earth,
And for the hope of heaven.

4

Oh let a sense of this thy grace
Our best affections move;

That, while our lips thy praise proclaim,
Our hearts may feel thy love.

5

Lord! may we give ourselves to thee,
And, walking in thy ways,

In righteousness and holiness,
Obey thee all our days.

33.

Glory to God.

1

GLORY be to God on high-
God, whose glory fills the sky!
Peace on earth, to man forgiven-
Man, the well-belov'd of heaven.
2

Sovereign Father, heavenly King!
Thee we now attempt to sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Various all, and numberless.
3

Hail! supreme, eternal Mind!
Self-existent, unconfin'd!
Thee, creation's wonders prove,
Lord of power and God of love.

4

Thee to praise, in songs divine,
Angels and archangels join :
We, with them, our voices raise,
Echoing thine eternal praise.

5

Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Thou by all thy works ador'd!
Full of thee, they ever cry,
Glory to be to God on high!'

34.

General Praise.

1

YE works of God! on him alone-
From earth his footstool, heaven his throne---
Be all your praise bestow'd:
His hand the beauteous fabric made;
His eye the finish'd work survey'd,
And saw that all was good.

2

Ye sons of men! his praise display,
Who stamp'd his image on your clay,
And gave it power to move :
Where'er you go, where'er you dwell,
From age to age successive, tell
The wonders of his love.

3

Ye spirits of the just and good,
Who, longing for that blest abode,
To heaven's bright mansions soar !
Oh let your songs his praise display,
Till nature's self shall waste away,
And time shall be no more.

35.

LET every creature join

To praise the eternal God:
