In thy salvation raise their voice,
To magnify the Lord.

4 Be thou our help in time of need,
To thee, O Lord, we pray;

In mercy hasten to our aid,
Nor let thy grace delay.

1 GREAT God! at whose all-powerful call,
At first arose this beauteous frame,
By thee the seasons change, and all
The changing seasons speak thy name.

2 Thy bounty bids the infant year,
From winter storms recovered, rise;
When thousand grateful scenes appear,
Fresh opening to our wondering eyes.

3 Aloft, full beaming, reigns the sun,
And light and genial heat conveys;
And, while he leads the seasons on,
From thee derives his quickening rays.

4 Around us, in the teeming field,
Stands the rich grain, or purpled vine;
At thy command they rise, to yield
The strengthening bread, or cheering wine.

5 Indulgent God! from every part,
Thy plenteous blessings largely flow;
We see we taste-let every heart
With grateful love and duty glow.

1 GREAT God! let all our tuneful powers
Awake, and sing thy mighty name:
Thy hand rolls on our circling hours,
The hand, from which our being came.
2 Seasons and moons, revolving round
In beauteous order, speak thy praise;
And years, with smiling mercy crowned,
To thee, successive honors raise.

3 To thee we raise the annual song;
To thee the grateful tribute give;
Our God doth still our years prolong,
And, midst unnumbered deaths, we live.

4 Each changing season on our souls
Its sweetest, kindest influence sheds;
And every period, as it rolls,

Showers countless blessings on our heads.

5 Our lives, our health, our friends, we owe
All to thy vast unbounded love;
Ten thousand precious gifts below,
And hope of nobler joys above.

1 GREAT God of grace! arise and shine,
With beams of heavenly light:

From this dark world of sin dispel
The long and gloomy night.

2 No more let senseless idols share
The honors due to thee:

May every nation know thy name,
And thy salvation see.

3 No more may persecution dare
To lift her iron rod;

No longer shed the blood of saints,
And plead a zeal for God.

4 With its own pure and native light,
Lord! may thy gospel shine:
And error fly like noxious mists
Before this light divine.

5 While heaven born truth her charms reveals,
May love our breasts inspire;
Nor one base passion ever mix,
To quench this sacred fire.

1 GREAT God! our earthly vows to thee
With gratitude we 'll bring,

To thee we 'll wake the sounding lyre,
And touch the tuneful string:

2 Thou round the heavenly arch dost draw
A close and sable veil;

And all the beauties of the world
From mortal eyes conceal.

3 Again the sky with golden beams,
Thy skilful hands adorn,

And paint with cheerful splendor gay
The fair ascending morn.

4 And as the gloomy night returns,
Or smiling day renews,

Thy constant goodness still our souls
With benefits pursues.

5 For this we will our vows to thee,
With ev'ning incense bring,
And at the rosy dawn of day,
Thy lofty praises sing.

1 GREAT God! our Father and our Friend,
On whom we cast our constant care,
On whom for all things we depend!
To thee we raise our humble prayer.

2 Endue us with a holy fear;

The frailty of our hearts reveal;
Sin and its snares are always near,
Thee may we always nearer feel.

3 O that to thee each constant mind
May with a steady flame aspire;
And each the earliest motions find,
And check the rise of wrong desire.

4 O that our watchful souls may fly
The first perceived approach of sin;.
Look up to thee when danger 's nigh,
And feel thy fear control within!

5 Search, gracious God! each inmost heart;
From guilt and error set us free;
Thy light and truth and peace impart,
And guide us safe to heaven and thee.

1 GREAT God! the followers of thy Son,
We bow before thy mercy-seat,
To worship thee, the Holy One,
And pour our wishes at thy feet.

2 O grant thy blessing day by day!
O give thy people joy and peace!
The tokens of thy love display,
And favor, that shall never cease.

3 We seek the truth which Jesus brought;
His path of light, we long to tread;
Here be his holy doctrines taught,
And here, their purest influence shed.

4 May faith, and hope, and love abound;
Our sins and errors be forgiven;

And we, in thy great day be found
Children of God, and heirs of heaven.

60. c. M.

1 GREAT God! thine attributes divine,
Thy glorious works and ways,
The wonders of thy power and might,
The universe displays.
