2 When with a loud united voice
The universe shall ring;

And every creature shall rejoice,
And God's high praises sing?

3 All tongues and hearts with joy shall join, Without a jarring sound,

To circle with a joy divine

The glorious throne around.

ཀ

4 Blessing and honour, glory, power,
To God upon the throne,
And to the Lamb for evermore,
All voices join in one.

5 With joy we now anticipate
The glories of that day,
When all Jehovah did create
Shall willing homage pay.

Winchester.

XXXVII. HYMN.-C. M.

1 SALVATION! O the joyful sound!
'Tis music to our ears;

A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Salvation! O the power and grace That here triumphant reign,

D

To raise from death our sinful race
To life and God again!

3 Salvation! let the echo fly,
The spacious earth around;
And all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

XXXVIII. HYMN.-P. M.

1 SOVEREIGN Lord of light and glory,
Author of our mortal frame!
Joyfully we bow before thee,
And extol thy holy name:
Hallelujah!

Ever sacred be the theme!

2 Kind dispenser of each blessing
Which surrounds the human race!
May we, gratefully possessing,
Still adore thy boundless grace:
Hallelujah!

Praise to God, immortal praise!

3 Thus, with humble adoration,
We attend before thy throne;
And with grateful exultation,
Thy abundant mercy own:
Hallelujah!

Praise belongs to thee alone.

4 In thy every dispensation,
Love and mercy we descry;
Thou, the God of our salvation,
To preserve us still art nigh:
Hallelujah!

Glory be to God on high!

XXXIX. HYMN.- -S M.

1 Let party-strife no more

The Christian world o'erspread; Gentile, and Jew, and bond, and free, Are one in Christ their head.

2 Among the saints on earth

Let mutual love be found-
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crown'd.

3 Envy and strife be gone,

And kindness only known,

Where all one common Father have,
One common Master own.

4 Thus of the joys of heaven.
Some foretaste shall we prove,
Where purest pleasures will arise,
And every heart be love.

D 2

XL. HYMN. -L.M.

1 ALL-SEEING God! 'tis thine to know
The spring whence wrong opinions flow;
To judge, from principles within,
When frailty errs, and when we sin.

2 Who among men, great Lord of all! Thy servant to his bar shall call;

Judge him, for modes of faith, thy foe, And doom him to the realms of woe?

3 Who with another's eye can read,
Or worship by another's creed?
Trusting thy grace, we form our own,
And bow to thy commands alone.

4 If wrong, correct; accept, if right;
While faithful we improve our light-
Condemning none, but zealous still,
To learn and follow all thy will.

5 When shall our happy eyes behold
All Christians fashion'd in thy mould;
And charity our lineage prove
Deriv'd from thee, O God of love.

XLI. HYMN.-S. M.

1 IMPOSTURE shrinks from light, And dreads the curious eye;

But sacred truths the test invite;
They bid us search and try.

2 May we, O Lord, maintain
A meek inquiring mind,

Assur'd we shall not search in vain,
But hidden treasures find.

3 With understanding bless'd,
Created to be free,

Our faith on man we dare not rest,
Subject to none but thee.

4 Lord, give the light we need;
With soundest knowledge fill;
From baneful error guard our creed;
From prejudice our will.

5 The truth thou shalt impart,
May we with firmness own;
Abhorring each evasive art,
And fearing thee alone.

XLII. HYMN.-C. M.

1 WHEN blooming youth is snatch'd away By death's resistless hand,

Our hearts the mournful tribute pay,
Which sorrow must demand.

D 3
