John, 3: 16.

H, for a shout of joy,

High as the theme we sing!

To this divine employ

Your hearts and voices bring:

J. YOUNG.

Sound, sound, through all the earth abroad,
The love, th' eternal love, of God!

2 Unnumbered myriads stand,
Of seraphs bright and fair;
Or bow at his right hand,

And pay their homage there :
But strive in vain, with loudest chord,
To sound the wondrous love of God.

3 Though earth and hell assail,
And doubts and fears arise,

The weakest shall prevail,

And grasp the heavenly prize;
And through an endless age record,
The love, th' unchanging love, of God.

Rev. 5: 9-14.

HALL hymns of grateful love

And all the hosts above

CUMMINS.

arches ring,

Their songs of triumph sing;
And shall not we take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?

2 Shall they adore the Lord,

Who bought them with his blood,
And all the love record

That led them home to God;

And shall not we take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?
3 Oh, spread the joyful sound!

The Saviour's love proclaim;
And publish all around

Salvation through his name:
Till all the world take up the strain,
And send the echo back again!

Psalm 95.

NOME, sound his praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing:
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2 He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at his throne,

Come, bow before the Lord;

We are his work and not our own;
He formed us by his word.

4 To-day attend his voice,

Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

Jude 24, 25.

O God, the only wise,

Our Saviour and our King;

Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
2 He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.

3 Then all the chosen seed

Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.

Ps. 135: 1-5.

TAND up, and bless the Lord,

STAND

MONTGOMERY,

Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart, and soul, and voice.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,

Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud, and magnify?

3 Oh, for the living flame

From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.

Psalm 103.

Y soul, repeat his praise,

MY

Whose mercies are so great:
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.

2 God will not always chide;

And when his wrath is felt,
Its strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.

3 His power subdues our sins,
And his forgiving love,

Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.

4 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace,
Our highest thoughts exceed.

H, worship the King, all glorious above;

GRANT

love!

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of his might, oh, sing of his grace,

Whose robe is the light, whose canopy, space!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite ?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plains,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rains.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

YE

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.

3 "Salvation to God, who sits on the throne,"
Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son;

Our Saviour's high praises the angels proclaim,— Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb. UXBRIDGE. L. M.

Psalm 103.

WATTS.

Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad:

Let all the powers within me join

In work and worship so divine.

2 Bless, O my soul! the God of grace:
His favors claim thy highest praise;
Why should the wonders he hath wrought
Be lost in silence, and forgot?

3 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son

To die for crimes which thou hast done;
He owns the ransom, and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives.

4 Let every land his power confess;
Let all the earth adore his grace:
My heart and tongue with rapture join,
In work and worship so divine.
