5 There dwells the sov'reign Lord of all, The God that all the worlds adore; With whom is bliss that cannot pall, And joys that last for evermore.

HYMN 521. P. M. 78

Songs of Praise.

ONGS of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with hallelujahs rang,

When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake and it was done.

2 Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of peace was born;
Songs of praise arose, when he
Captive led captivity.

3 Heav'n and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day.
God will make new heav'ns and earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come!
No:-the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death :
Then, amidst eternal joy,

Songs of praise their pow'rs employ

REVELATION Xv. 3, 4.

OW wondrous and great thy works, God of praise!

How just, King of saints, and true are thy ways! O who shall not fear thee, and honour thy name? Thou only art holy, thou only supreme!

2 To nations long dark thy light shall be shown; Their worship and vows shall come to thy throne. Thy truth and thy judgments shall spread all abroad, Till earth's ev'ry people confess thee their God.

Adoring Praise. PSALM CİV.

PRAISE

PRAISE ye the Lord. his greatness proclaim: Jehovah, our God, how awful thy name! How vast is thy power, thy glory how great! Lo, myriads of spirits thy mandates await! 2 Thy canopy's heav'n, in splendour so bright; Thy chariot the clouds, thy garment the light. The works of creation thy bidding perform; Thou ridest the whirlwind, directest the storm. 3 What wisdom is shown, what power display'd In all that thy hand hath fashion'd and made! The earth full of riches, in beauty complete; The fathomless ocean, with wonders replete. 4 O thou, our great God, Redeemer, and King! With hearts full of love to thee will we sing; To life's latest moment our voices we'll raise, And join in the chorus of blessing and praise.

HYMN 524. L. M.

God exalted above all Praise.

TERNAL Pow'r! whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God;

Infinite lengths beyond the bounds
Where stars revolve their little rounds!
2 Far in the depths of space, thy throne
Burns with a lustre all its own:
In shining ranks beneath thy feet,
Angelic pow'rs and splendours meet.
3 Lord, what shall feeble mortals do?
We would adore our Muker too:
With lowly minds to thee we cry,
The Great, the Holy, and the High.
4 God is in heav'n, and man below:
Short be our tunes, our words be few:
Let sacred rev'rence check our songs,
And praise sit silent on our tongues.

HYMN 525. L. M.

God's Power and Majesty.

LORD God of armies, who can boast

Of strength or pow'r like thine renown'd? Of such a num'rous faithful host,

As that which does thy throne surround?

2 What seraph of celestial birth

To vie with Israel's God shall dare?
Or who among the gods of earth
With our Almighty Lord compare?

3 Thine arm is potent, high thy hand :
Yet, Lord, thou dost with justice reign.

Possess'd of absolute command,
Thou truth and mercy wilt sustain.

4 With rev'rence and religious dread,
Thy saints shall to thy temple press;
Thy fear through all their hearts shall spread,
Who thine almighty name confess.

5 And in thy strength shall they advance;
Their conquests from thy favour spring:
The Lord of hosts is their defence,
And Israel's God is Israel's King

HYMN 526. L. M.

The Presence of God makes every Place delightful

1

O'tar whom no grief can long abide!

H thou, by long experience try'd,

All scenes alike engaging prove

To souls impress'd with sacred love. 2 I can be calm and free from care On any shore, since thou art there; And with my God to guide my way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

3 Could I be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot :
But regions none remote I call,
Secure of finding thee in all.

HYMN 527. P. M. 8s.

God Omnipresent and Omniscient.

SEARCHER of hearts! to thee are known
The inmost secrets of my breast.

At home, abroad, in crowds, alone,
Thou mark'st my rising and my rest,
