3 What wise provision hast thou made, That all thine offspring may enjoy 4 Then will we join our hearts and hands HYMN 539. C. M. [#] 1 MERE human powers shall fast decay, 2 They, with unwearied feet, shall tread With growing ardour onward move, 3 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar,— HYMN 540. L. M. [#] Triumph of Light and Truth. 1 O GOD of truth, arise, and shine, On this benighted world of thine, 2 O send thy gracious beams abroad, Through sin and death's extended night, And cheer the nations with thy word, Which brings immortal truth to light. 3 No more let persecution's hand Sway o'er the world its iron rod, 4 Let senseless idols share no more HYMN 541.

[#] 1 SOUND the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea; How vain was their boasting! the Lord hath but spoken, And chariots and horsemen are sunk in the wave. Sound the loud timbrel, &c. 2 Praise to the Conqueror, praise to the Lord; His word was our arrow, his breath was our sword. Who shall return to tell Egypt the story Of those she sent forth in the hour of her pride? For the Lord hath looked out from his pillar of glory, And all her brave thousands are dashed in the tide. Sound the loud timbrel, &c. HYMN 543. 61. L. M. [#] The preeminent Glory of God. 2 Though voice nor sound inform the ear, 3 Waked from thy touch, the morning sun Comes like a bridegroom from his bower, And, like a giant, glad to run His bright career with speed and power; Life through the depths of nature's heart. Thy word reveals, transcending sense: DOXOLOGIES. HYMN 544. L. M. [#] 1 PRAISE God, from whom all blessings HYMN 545. C. M. [#] 1 ALMIGHTY Father, gracious Power, 2 Forever hallowed be thy name, HYMN 546. S. M. [#] 1 To heaven's eternal King, 2 His name, as sovereign Lord, Shall sound through distant lands; Great is his grace, and sure his word; His truth forever stands. HYMN 547. 78. M. [#] 1 HOMAGE pay to God above,- 2 All our hopes of life and heaven |
