5 How infinite, O LORD, art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And give their praise to thee.

And aid my tongue, to bless his Name

Whose favours are divine.

2 O bless the LORD, my soul;
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.

3 'Tis he forgives thy sins;
"Tis, he relieves thy pain;
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.

4 He crowns thy life with love,

When ransomed from the grave:
He that redeemed my soul from hell,
Hath sov'reign power to save.

5 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.

9.

GOD, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art GOD,
To endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.

5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,

Be thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

10.

GOD is the refuge of his saints,

When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid.

2 Let mountains from their seats be hurl'd
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.

3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

4 There is a stream whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God;

Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And watering our divine abode.

5 Sion enjoys her monarch's love,
Secure against a threat'ning hour;
Nor can her firm foundations move,
Built on his truth, and arm'd with pow'r.

11.

THAT the LORD would guide my ways,
To keep his statutes still!

O that my GOD would grant me grace,
To know and do his will!

2 O send thy SPIRIT down to write
Thy law upon my heart;
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar's part.

3 Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, LORD,
But keep my conscience clear.

4 My soul hath gone too far astray,
My feet too often slip;

Yet since I've not forgot thy way,
Restore thy wandering sheep.

5 Make me to walk in thy commands,
"Tis a delightful road;

Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands,
Offend against my God.

12.

THE GOD of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And GOD of love;
Jehovah, Great I Am!

By earth and heaven confess'd;
I bow, and bless the sacred name,
For ever bless'd.

The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command

From earth I rise-and seek the joys
At his right hand :

I all on earth forsake,

Its wisdom, fame, and power,
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace

Shall guide me all my happy days,
In all his ways:

He calls a worm his friend!

He calls himself my GOD!

And He shall save me to the end,
Through Jesus' blood.
