HYMN XXXIII. S. M.

HOME sound his praise abroad,

C And hymns of glory sing;

Jehovah is the sovereign Lord,
The universal King.

He form'd the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bounds;
The wat'ry worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

Come worship at his throne;
Come bow before the Lord;
We are his works and not our own,
He form'd us by his word.

To-day attend his voice,

Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

HYMN XXXIV. C. M.

REAT God I own thy sentence just,
And nature must decay;

GR

I yield my body to the dust,

To dwell with fellow clay.

Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave,
And trample on the tombs ;

My Jesus, my Redeemer lives,

My God my Saviour comes.

The mighty conqu'ror shall appear,
High on a royal seat;

And death the last of all his foes,
Lie vanquish'd at his feet.

Then shall I see thy lovely face,
With strong immortal eyes;
And feast upon thine unknown grace,
With pleasure and surprize.

HYMN XXXV. C. M.

TOY to the world, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King;

JOY

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns,
Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and

Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;

(plains,

He comes to make his blessings flow,
Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
He makes the nations prove,

The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

HYMN XXXVI. P. M.

AGAIN the day returns of holy rest,

Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest; When, like his own, he bade our labour cease, And all be piety, and all be peace.

decree,

sage
While impious men despise the
From vain decent, and falso philosophy;
Let us its wisdom own, its blessings feel,
Receive with gratitude, perform with zeal.

Let us devote this consecrated day,
To learn his will, and all we learn obey;
In pure religion's hallow'd duties share,
And join in penitence, and join in prayer.

So shall the God of Mercy pleas'd receive,
That only tribute, man has pow'r to give;
So shall he hear, while fervently we raise,
Our choral harmony in hymns of praise.

CHORUS.

Father of heav'n, in whom our hopes confide, Whose pow'r defends us, and whose precepts guide:

In life our guardian, and in death our friend, Glory supreme be thine till time shall end.

HYMN XXXVII. P. M.

OON will the evening star with silver ray, Shed its mild lustre on this sacred day; Resume we then, 'ere sleep and silence reign, The rites that holiness and heav'n ordain.

Still let each awful truth our thoughts engage,
That shines reveal'd on inspirations page;
Nor these blest hours in vain amusements waste,
Which all, who lavish, shall lament at last.

Here humbly let us hope our maker's smile,
Will crown with meet success our weekly toil;
And here, on each returning sabbath join
In pray'r, in penitence, and praise divine.

CHORUS.

Father of heav'n, in whom our hopes confide, Whose pow'r defends us, and whose precepts guide:

In life our guardian, and in death our friend, Glory supreme be thine till time shall end.

Lo!

Judgment Hymn.

HYMN XXXVIII. P. M.

O! he comes with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain; Thousand, thousand saints attending, Swell the triumphs of his train. Hallelujah!

Both the triumphs of his train. Every eye shall then behold him, Rob'd in dreadful majesty ; Those who set at nought and sold him, Piere'd and nail'd him to the tree, Deeply wailing shall the true Messiah see. Every island, sea, and mountain, Heav'n and earth shall flee away; All who hate him most confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day, Come to judgment, come away. Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All his saints by men rejected, Now shall meet him in the air, Hallelujah! see the day of God appear.

HYMN XXXIX. P. M.

(REAT God! what do I see and hear, The end of things created;

G

The judge of mankind does appear
On clouds of glory seated.
