And strength and might, and earth and heaven,
And all therein is thine.
3 The kingdom, Lord, is thine alone,
Who dost thy right maintain;
And high on thy eternal throne,
O'er men and angels reign.
4 Riches, as seemeth good to thee,
Thou dost, and honor, give;
And kings their power and dignity
But of thy hand receive.
5 Thou hast on us the grace bestow'd,
Thy greatness to proclaim;
And therefore now we thank our God,
And praise thy glorious name.
6 Thy glorious name, and nature's powers,
Thou dost to us make known;
And all the Deity is ours,
Through thy incarnate Son.
THERE'S not a place in earth's vast round,
In ocean deep, or air,
Where skill and wisdom are not found,
For God is every where.
2 Around, within, below, above,
Wherever space extends,
There heaven displays its boundless love,
And power with mercy blends.
3 Then rise, my soul, and sing his name,
And all his praise rehearse,
Who spread abroad earth's wondrous frame, And built the universe.
4 Where'er thine earthly lot is cast, His power and love declare;
Nor think the mighty theme too vast,For God is every where.
HYMN 26 H. M.
THE Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty :
His glories shine with beams so bright,
No mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard his holy law;
And where his love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.
3 Through all his mighty works
Amazing wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their dark designs;
Strong is his arm, and shall fulfil
His great decrees and sovereign will,
4 And will this sovereign King
Of glory condescend?
And will he write his name,
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
Join all my powers to praise the Lord!
HYMN 27. C. M. [22]
ONE undivided Trinity,
With triumph we proclaim;
The universe is full of thee,
And speaks thy glorious name.
2 Thee, holy Father, we confess;
Thee, holy Son, adore;
Thee, Spir't of Truth and Holiness,
We worship evermore..
3 The incommunicable right,
Almighty God, receive!
Which angel choirs, and saints in light, And saints embodied give.
4 Three persons, equally divine, We magnify and love;
And both the choirs, ere long, shall join To sing thy praise above.
HYMN 28. C. M. [22]
A THOUSAND oracles divine,
Their common beams unite;
That sinners may with angels join
To worship God aright.
2 To praise a Trinity ador'd
By all the hosts above;
And one thrice holy God and Lord
Through endless ages love.
3 Triumphant host! they never cease
To laud and magnify
The Triune God of Holiness,
Whose glory fills the sky.
4 Whose glory to this earth extends,
When God himself imparts,
And the whole Trinity descends
Into our faithful hearts.
5 By faith the upper choir we meet,
And challenge them to sing
Jehovah, on his shining seat,
Our Maker and our King.
6 But God-made flesh, is wholly ours,
And asks our noblest strain;
The Father of celestial powers,
The Friend of earth-born man!
FATHER of heaven, whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pardoning love extend.
2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.
4 Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son!
Mysterious Godhead! Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.
FATHER, live, by all things fear'd;
Live the Son, alike revered;
Equally be thou ador'd,
Holy Ghost, eternal Lord.
2 Three in person, one in power,
Thee we worship evermore;
Praise by all to thee be given,
Endless theme of earth and heaven.
HYMN 31. H. M. [343]
I GIVE immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all my comforts here,
And better hopes above:
He sent his own eternal Son,
To die for sins that man had done.
2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting wo:
And now he lives, and now he reigns,
And sees the fruit of all his pains.
3 To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating power
Makes the dead sinner live;
His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.
4 Almighty God, to thee
Be endless honors done;
The undivided Three,
And the Mysterious One:
Where reason fails with all her powers
There faith prevails, and love adores.
