2 His breath is your life, your reason a ray
Effus'd from his light to guide all your way;
He heals your diseases, your wants he supplies,
And wipes away tears from the penitent's eyes.
3 Dash down your false gods of silver and stone;
Him worship who made earth and heav'n alone
His prophet, his son, his salvation receive;
Flee, flee from perdition, obey him and live.
4 O Father of men! in mercy command
The gospel to shine on all human land ;
That far as the sun e'er diffuses his flame,
Thy praises may rise in Messiah's great name.

HYMN 121. C. M.

Reverential Worship.

ING to the Lord Jehovah's name,
And in his strength rejoice :

When his salvation is our theme,
Exalted be our voice.

2 With thanks approach his awful sight,
And songs of honour sing:
The Lord's a God of boundless might,
The whole creation's King.

3 Let princes hear, let angels know,
How mean their natures seem;
Those gods on high, and gods below,
When once compar'd with Him.

4 Earth with its caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his spacious hand,

He fix'd the sea what bounds to keep,
And where the hills must stand.

5 Come, and with humble souls adore ;
Come, kneel before his face :

The same subject.

COME,

NOME, sound his praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;

Jehovah is the mighty God,
The universal King.

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.

Come, worship at his throne;

Come, bow before the Lord;

We are his work, 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 123. Sevens Metre.

Humble Adoration.

TOLY, holy, holy Lord!

Be thy golrious name ador'd.

Lord thy mercies never fail ;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail !
2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear ;
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.

3 There no tongue shall silent be;
All shall join in harmony;

That through heaven's capacious round,
Praise to thee may ever sound.

4 Lord thy mercies never fail:
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Be thy glorious name ador'd.

WITH

HYMN 124. L. M.

WITH one consent, let all the earth
To God their cheerful voices raise ;
Glad homage pay with joy and mirth,
And sing before him songs of praise.
2 Convinc'd that he is God alone,
From whom both we and all proceed;
We, whom he chooses for his own,
The flock that he vouchsafes to feed.
3 O! enter, then, his temple gate,
Thence to his courts devoutly press;
And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still his name with praises bless!
4 For he's the Lord, supremely good,
His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.

HYMN 125. L. M.

Praise to our Creator. Ps. c.
EFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy.

2 His sov❜reign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men ;
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people, we his care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame ;
What lasting honours shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name!

4 We'll crowd thy gates, with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise ;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

TATE.

5 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,

When rolling years shall cease to move.

HYMN 126. L. M.

Praise to God as the first and the last.

I AM the first, and I the last;

Time centres all in me:

Th' Almighty God, who was, and is,
And ever more shall be.

2 To him let ev'ry tongue be praise,
And ev'ry heart be love;

All grateful honours paid on earth,
And nobler songs above!

Glory to the Most High God.

YLORY be to God on high! Hallelujah!
God, whose glory fills the sky :

Lift your voice, ye people all,
Praise the God on whom ye call.

2 God his sov'reign sway maintains;
King o'er all the earth he reigns:
All to him lift up their eye;
He does ev'ry want supply.

3 Sons of earth, the triumph join,
Praise him with the host divine,
Emulate the heav'nly powers;
Their all-gracious God is ours.

4 Him, whose joy is to restore,
Him let all our hearts adore :
Earth and heaven repeat the cry,
Glory be to God on high.

Tens and Elevens Metre.

Hymn of Praise.

PRAISE, ye the Lord, prepare a new song, And let all his saints in full concert join: With voices united the anthem prolong,

And show forth his praises with music divine. 2 Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend, Let each grateful heart be glad in its King: The God, whom we worship, our songs will attend, And view with complacence the off'ring we bring. 3 Be joyful, ye saints, sustain'd by his might, And let your glad songs awake with each morn: For those who obey him are still his delight, His hand with salvation the meek will adorn. 4 Then praise ye the Lord, prepare a glad son And let all bis saints in full concert join; With voices united the anthem prolong, And show forth his praises with music divine.

HYMN 129. C. M.

Praise to the God of Nature.

EGIN, my soul, the lofty strain;
In solemn accents sing

A sacred hymn of grateful praise
To heaven's almighty King.

2 Ye curling fountains, as ye roll
Your silver waves along,

Whisper to all your verdant shores
The subject of my song.

3 Retain it long, ye echoing rocks,
The sacred sound retain,

And from your hollow winding caves
Return it oft again.

4 Bear it, ye winds, on all your wings,
To distant climes away,

And round the wide-extended world.
The lofty theme convey.
