AGAIN the Lord of life and light... A God! a God! the wide earth shouts.. Ah, wretched souls, who strive in vain All nature dies, and lives again.. All nature feels the attractive power.. All powerful, self-existent God.. All-seeing God! 't is thine to know. Almighty Father! gracious Lord!. Almighty Father of mankind. Almighty Maker, God! Almighty Maker, Lord of all!. Am I a soldier of the cross..... Amidst a world of hopes and fears.. And art thou with us, gracious Lord And is the gospel peace and love?.. And now another day is gone.. And now to Heaven's eternal King Angel, roll the rock away! Another six days' work is done. Arise, my soul, on wings sublime. As pants the hart for cooling streams... At length, by certain proofs, 't is plain Author of good! we rest on thee.. Awake, my soul! and with the sun.... Awake, my soul ! lift up thine eyes. Awake, my soul ! stretch every nerve. Awake, my soul, to hymns of praise·· Awake, our souls; away, our fears. Away from every mortal care......

How happy is he born and taught. How rich thy gifts, Almighty King! How short and hasty is our life How still and peaceful is the grave. How vain are all things here below. How vast is the tribute I owe...... How vast must their advantage be.
IF solid happiness we prize.. I'll bless Jehovah's glorious name.•••• Imposture shrinks from light.
In all my vast concerns with thee..................... Indulgent God, whose bounteous care. In sleep's serene oblivion laid. In thee I put my steadfast trust. In the soft season of thy youth. In vain opposing nations rage. In vain the erring world inquires.
JEHOVAH bids the morning ray.
