And set their Maker's greatness forth 4 Awake my soft and tuneful lyre, 5 Thou, round the heav'nly arch dost draw A vast and sable veil ; Which all the beauties of the world 6 Again the sky with golden beams, 7 And as the gloomy night returns, Thy constant goodness still my soul 8 For this, I'll midnight vows to thee JEHOVAH lives, and be his name By ev'ry heart ador'd ! From age to age he is the same, 2 He is our Rock when troubles rise, And storms and tempests low'r ; He rides triumphant in the skies, 3 Salvation to the Lord belongs, 4 He saves from danger, death, and hell, 5 Great is the mercy we have found, HYMN 295. C. M. IMMORTAL Fountain of my life, My last, my noblest end; Eternal Centre of my soul, 2 Thou object of my dearest love, The spring of all my flowing joys, 3 My God, my hope, my vast reward, Still more than these pathetic names Now to our God a song of praise, For holy is his name; Gracious and true are all his ways, 2 See from his throne divinely flow 3 He is the Lord our only God, 4 Jesus, thou hast to us made known 5 To thee our songs of praise arise, HYMN 297. C. M. THE gracious Saviour bow'd his head, 2 Three days, so High Behest ordain'd, Death triumph'd o'er his prize ; The hour of grace at length arriv'd, 3 As at this glorious time he rose, 4 Vast was the grace that gave to death 5 With ev'ry grateful thought inspir'd, Our humble voice to mercy's throne, 6 Nor is this all; our grateful life HYMN 298. L. M. THE joyful happy day appears, Jehovah dries his Zion's tears! 2 Great God, my praise shall rise to thee, Thy seeming anger's turn'd from me ; My comforts now thou wilt restore, And weeping Zion weep no more. Behold our God, the mighty God, Who spread the num'rous worlds abroad, Is our salvation; we rejoice, And praise his name with cheerful voice. 4 We'll trust in him, nor be afraid, He is our strength, his arm is strong, 5 Wells of salvation open stand, HYMN 299. L. M. PRAISE ye the Lord, adore his name, Jesus is God, and God alone. 2 Thine honour and thy name we sing, 3 Now for a shout of sacred joy ! 4 Hosanna to thy name, O Lord! X |
