They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.

4 The storm is laid-the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will:

The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.

5 In 'midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we'll adore;
We'll praise thee for thy mercies past;
And humbly hope for more.

UNIVERSAL PRAISE.

HYMN 14.

6, 4.

MADAN'S COL.

Trinity, St. Clemens.

YOME, thou Almighty King,

Help us thy name to sing,

Help us to praise !

Father all glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days.

2 Jesus, our Lord, arise,
Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall!
Let thine almighty aid
Our sure defence be made :
Our souls on thee be stay'd;
Lord, hear our call!

s Come, thou, incarnate Word,
Gird on thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend!
Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy word success ;
Spirit of holiness,

On us descend!

4 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour!
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r.

5 To the great ONE in THREE,
The highest praises be,
Hence evermore !

His sovereign majesty,
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

HYMN 15. L. M. WATTS.

Wells, Old Hundred.

God exalted above all praise.

ETERNAL power! whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God;

In vain the tallest angel tries

To reach thy height with wond'ring eyes. 2 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name:

But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. S God is in heaven, but man below: Be short our tunes, our words be few: A sacred rev'rence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

HYMN 16.

5, 6.

MADAN'S COL.

Locke, Devonshire.

God's servants should praise him.

E servants of God,

Your Master proclaim,

And publish abroad

His wonderful Name;
The name all victorious
Of Jesus extol;
His kingdom is glorious,
And rules over all.

2 God ruleth on high,
Almighty to save;
And still he is nigh,
His presence we have:
The great congregation
His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation

To Jesus our King.

S Salvation to God

Who sits on the throne

Let all cry aloud

And honor the Son:

Our Jesus' praises
The angels proclaim;
Fall down on their faces
And worship the Lamb.

4 Then let us adore,
And give him his right;
All glory and power,
And wisdom and might:
All honor and blessing,
With angels above;
And thanks never ceasing,
And infinite love.

HYMN 17. 8,7.

SAINT

TAYLOR.

Sicilian Hymn, Northampton Chapel. AINTS, with pious zeal attending, Now a grateful tribute raise ; Solemn songs to heav'n ascending, Join the universal praise.

2 Round Jehovah's footstool kneeling, Lowly bend with contrite souls; Here his milder grace revealing, Here his wrath no thunder rolls.

3 Every secret fault confessing,

Deed unrighteous, thought of sin, Seize, O seize the proffer'd blessing, Grace from God and peace within. 4 Heart and voice with rapture swelling, Still the song of glory raise;

On the theme immortal dwelling,
Join the Universal praise.

HYMN 18.

L. M.

DODDRIDGE.

[ocr errors]

GOD

Portugal, Chatham, Bicester.

OD of my life, through all its days,
My grateful powers shall sound thy
praise;

The song shall wake with opening light,
And warble to the silent night.

2 When anxious cares would break my rest,
And griefwould tear my throbbing breast,
Thy tuneful praise I'll raise on high,
And check the murmur, and the sigh.
3 When death, o'er nature shall prevail,
And all its powers of language fail,
Joy thro' my swimming eyes shall break,
And mean the thanks I cannot speak.
4 But Oh! when that last conflict's o'er,
And I am chain'd to flesh no more,
With what glad accents shall I rise,
To join the music of the skies!

HYMN 19.

C. M. RIPPON.

Barby, Wareham.

HOW precious is the book divine,

By inspiration given !

Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heaven.
