3 But we have no fuch lengths to go,
Nor fuch a tedious road;
Where'er thy faints affemble now,
There is a houfe of God.

4 Arife, O King of grace, arife,
And enter to thy rest;

Lo thy church waits with longing eyes,
Thus to be own'd and bleft.
5 Enter, with all thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no fuch grace afford.

6 Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let thy praise be spread;
Blefs the provifions of thy houfe,
And fill thy poor with bread.

E fervants of th' eternal King,

YE

Your grateful hymns in triumph fing;
Ye who attend his courts by day,
And in the night your homage pay.

To execute his Maker's will!
The filver moon and planets roll,
In filence round the glowing pole.
3 As they difpenfe their fleady rays,
Like them be conftant in his praise;
Like them, harmoniously join

To celebrate the hand divine.

The bleffings of his boundlefs love.

Praife to the true and living God.

WAKE, ye faints, to praise your King ;
Your nobleft paffions raife;

The pious pleasure, while you fing,
Increafing with the praife.

2 Great is the Lord, and works of might
His majefty declare;

3

But ftill his faints are near his fight,
And find a parent's care.

Heaven, earth and fea confefs his hand ;
He bids the
vapours rife ;

Lightning and ftorm, at his command,
Sweep through the vaulted skies.

4 All power that kings or gods have claim'd, Is found with him alone :

But heathen gods fhould ne'er be nam'd
Where our Jehovah's known.

; Which of the stocks or ftones they truft
Can give them fhowers of rain :
In vain they pray to glittering duft,
And worthip gold in vain.

6 But ye who know the living GOD,
Serve him with holy fear;

He makes his church his bleft abode,
And claims your homage here.
