The Same. L. M.

From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise!
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue!

Eternal are thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends thy word

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
Praise him, all creatures here below!
Praise him, above, ye heavenly throng!
Praise God, our Father, in your song.

O thou, whose power o'er moving worlds presides,
Whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides!
On darkling man in pure effulgence shine,
And cheer the clouded mind with light divine!

'Tis thine alone to calm the pious breast
With silent confidence and holy rest;

From thee, great God! we spring, to thee we tend,
Path, motive, guide, original, and end.

120.

The Same. C. M.

In vain we plant without thine aid,
And water, too, in vain;

Lord of the harvest, God of grace,
Send down thy heavenly rain.

Then shall our cheerful hearts and tongues
Begin this song divine

"Thou, Lord, hast given the rich increase, And be the glory thine."

121.

The Same. C. M.

May He from whom all blessings flow
Our sacred rites attend,
Uniting all in wisdom's ways
Till life's short journey end.

LET CHILDREN SING AND LEARN.

Oh say not, dream not, heavenly notes
To childish ears are vain,

That the young mind at random floats,
And cannot reach the strain.

Dim or unheard the words may fall,
And yet the heaven-taught mind
May learn the sacred air, and all
The harmony unwind.

And if some notes be false or low,
What are all prayers beneath
But cries of babes, that cannot know
Half the deep thought they breathe?
