"O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever."

mf LET us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;

f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 mf Let us blaze His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

3 mf Who by His all-commanding might
Did fill the new-made world with light;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

4 mf And caused the golden-tressèd sun
All the day long his course to run;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

5 mf The horned moon to shine by night Amongst her spangled sisters bright;

f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

6 mf His chosen people He did bless
In the wasteful wilderness;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

7 He hath with a piteous eye
Beheld us in our misery ;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

8 mf All living creatures He doth feed,
And with full hand supplies their need;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

9 mf Let us therefore warble forth
His mighty majesty and worth;
f For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure. Amen.

"Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His wondrous works."

I mf GIVE to our God immortal praise;
Mercy and truth are all His ways
cres Wonders of grace to God belong;
Repeat His mercies in your song.

2 mf Give to the Lord of lords renown;
The King of kings with glory crown;
cres His mercies ever shall endure,

When lords and kings are known no

more.

3 mf He built the earth, He spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high: cres Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song.

4 mf He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the moon direct the night;

cres His mercies ever shall endure,

When sun and moon shall shine no more.

5 He sent His Son with power to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave; cres Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song.

6 mf Through this vain world He guides our feet,

And leads us to His heavenly seat; cres His mercies ever shall endure,

When this vain world shall be no more.

"Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit.'

I mf MY God, how wonderful Thou art!
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat,
In depth of burning light!

2 How dread are Thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord!

By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored.

3 mf How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity!

4 mf Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord, Almighty as Thou art,

For Thou hast stooped to ask of me dim The love of my poor heart.

5 No earthly father loves like Thee;
No mother, e'er so mild,

Bears and forbears as Thou hast done
With me Thy sinful child.

6 mf Father of Jesus, love's reward,
What rapture will it be,

Prostrate before Thy throne to lie, cres And gaze, and gaze on Thee! Amen.

2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present 4 mf Oh! spread Thy covering wings around,

Before Thy throne of grace;

cres God of our fathers, be the God

Of their succeeding race.

Till all our wanderings cease,

cres And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

5 mf Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore,

cres And Thou shalt be our chosen God
f And portion evermore.

Amen.

16 "O Lord, my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty."

If OH! worship the King
All-glorious above!
Oh gratefully sing
His power and His love!
Our Shield and Defender,

The Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendour
And girded with praise.
2 f 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 mf This earth, with its store
Of wonders untold,
Almighty! Thy power
Hath founded of old;
Hath 'stablished it fast

By a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast,

Like a mantle, the sea.

4 mf 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 plain,
And sweetly distils

In the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust,
And feeble as frail,
cres In Thee do we trust,

Nor find Thee to fail:
mf Thy mercies how tender!
How firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend!
6 ƒ O measureless Might!
Ineffable Love!
While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,

Though feeble their lays,

p With true adoration

cres Shall lisp to Thy praise! Amen.
