Mercy and grace are thine alone, 3 We cannot speak one useful word, 1 O GOD, thy power is wonderful, Thy glory passing bright; Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, A rapture to the sight. 2 I see thee in the eternal years Ere round thine uncreated fires 3 I see thee walk in Eden's shade, 4 I see thee when the doom is o'er 5 Angelic spirits, countless souls, Thy joy and glory still. 6 O little heart of mine! shall pain FREDERICK W.

Wisdom, love, power. 1 THINE, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone; Justice and truth before thee stand: Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne, Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 2 Each evening shows thy tender love, Each rising morn thy plenteous grace; Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, Thy willing mercy flies apace. 3 To thy benign, indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great Source of being, flow. 4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is thine; And when created nature dies, 128 Immanuel, God with us. 1 ETERNAL depth of love divine, In Jesus, God with us, displayed; How bright thy beaming glories shi How wide thy healing streams spread! 2 With whom dost thou delight to d Sinners, a vile and thankless race O God, what tongue aright can tell How vast thy love, how great grace! 3 The dictates of thy sovereign will With joy our grateful hearts receiv All thy delight in us fulfill; Lo, all we are to thee we give. 4 To thy sure love, thy tender care, 129 For the grace of the Holy Trinit 3 O holy Father, holy Son, GOD-BEING AND ATTRIBUTES.

The Lord is King. THE Lord is King! lift up thy voice, 2 The Lord is King! child of the dust, 3 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains; Your God is King, your Father reigns; And he is at the Father's side, 1 LORD of all being! throned afar. 2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray 5 Grant us thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that burn for thee, Till all thy living altars claim |
