Boyful in Him with gladness and fear;

E joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth;

Exult in His presence with music and mirth With love and devotion draw near.

2 For Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone, Creator and Ruler o'er all;

And we are His people, His sceptre we own; His sheep, and we follow His call.

3 Oh, enter His gates with thanksgiving and song; Your vows in His temple proclaim;

His praise with melodious accordance prolong, And bless His adorable name.

4 For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good, And we are the work of His hand;

5.

His mercy and truth from eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand.

OH

10, 10, 11, 11. H, worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilion'd in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of His might, and sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

YOME, sound His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing!
Jehovah is the sov'reign God,
The universal King.

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

3 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.

4 To-day attend His voice,

Nor dare provoke His rod;

Come, like the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God!

TAND up, and bless the Lord,

Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart, and soul, and voice.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,

Who would not fear His holy name,
And laud, and magnify?

3 Oh, for the living flame
From His own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
And His salvation ours;

Then be His love in Christ proclaim'd
With all our ransom'd powers.

5 Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;

8 (48).

Stand up, and bless His glorious name,
Henceforth, for evermore!

O your Creator God,

Your great Preserver, raise,

Ye creatures of His hand,
Your highest notes of praise.
Let ev'ry voice
Proclaim His power,
His name adore,

And loud rejoice.

2 Let all the creatures join
To celebrate His name,
And all their various powers
Assist th' exalted theme.

Let nature raise

From every tongue
A general song

Of grateful praise.

3 But oh! from human tongues
Should nobler praises flow;
And ev'ry thankful heart
With warm devotion glow.

H. M

Your voices raise,

9 (895).

Ye highly blest
Above the rest;

Declare His praise.

ROM all who dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.
2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends Thy word;

L.M.

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more. 3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring; In songs of praise divinely sing; The great salvation loud proclaim, And shout for joy the Saviour's name. 4 In ev'ry land begin the song; To ev'ry land the strains belong; In cheerful sounds all voices raise, And fill the world with loudest praise. 10.

H, join ye the anthems of triumph that rise
From the throng of the blest, from the

hosts of the skies;

Alleluia, they sing, in rapturous strains, Alleluia, the Lord God omnipotent reigns! 2 He gave to the light its beneficent wings; He controlleth the councils of senates and kings; From His throne in the clouds the lightnings are hurl'd,

And He ruleth the factions that rage through the world.

3 Rejoice, ye that love Him; His power cannot fail,
His omnipotent goodness shall surely prevail·
The triumph of evil will shortly be pass'd,
The omnipotent King shall conquer at last.

RAISE the Lord! ye heavens, adore Him!
Praise Him, angels in the height;

PRAISE

Sun and moon, rejoice before Him;
Praise Him, all ye stars of light!

2 Praise the Lord for He hath spoken;
Worlds His mighty voice obey'd;
Laws which never shall be broken,
For their guidance He hath made.
3 Praise the Lord-for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail;
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.

4 Praise the God of our salvation,
Hosts on high His power proclaim;
Heaven and earth, and all creation,
Laud and magnify His name.

WAKE, and sing the song
A of Moses and the Lamb;

Wake, ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of His dying love;

Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above,
For us whose sins He bore.
