I O LORD, our heavenly King,

Thy name is all divine;

Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heavens they shine.

2 When I survey the stars,

And all their shining forms,

Lord, what is man, that worthless thing, Akin to dust and worms?

3 Lord, what is worthless man,

That Thou shouldst love him so? Next to Thine angels is he placed,

And lord of all below.

4 How rich Thy bounties are!

How wondrous are Thy ways!

Of dust and worms Thy power can frame

A monument of praise.

5 O Lord, our heavenly King,

Thy name is all divine;

Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heavens they shine.

I STAND up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of His choice;

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

2 Oh for a living flame,

From His own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, And wing to heaven our thought!

3 God is our strength and song,

And His salvation ours;

Then be His love in Christ proclaimed,

With all our ransomed powers.

4 Stand up, and bless the Lord,

The Lord your God adore;

Stand up, and bless His glorious name, Henceforth for evermore.

4 To-day attend His voice,

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

I THE Lord Jehovah reigns;
Let all the nations fear;
Let sinners tremble at His throne,
And saints be humble there.

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns;

Let earth adore its Lord;

Bright cherubs His attendants stand,
And swift fulfil His word.

3 In Zion is His throne;

His honors are divine;

His church shall make His wonders known,

For there His glories shine.

4 How holy is His name!

How terrible His praise!

Justice, and truth, and judgment join, In all His works of grace.

I My God, Thy boundless love I praise ;

How bright on high its glories blaze!

How sweetly bloom below!

It streams from Thy eternal throne ;
Through heaven its joys forever run,
And o'er the earth they flow.

2 'Tis love that paints the purple morn,
And bids the clouds, in air upborne,
Their genial drops distil;

In every vernal beam it glows,
It breathes in every gale that blows,
And glides in every rill.

3 It robes in cheerful green the ground,
And pours its flowery beauties round,
Whose sweets perfume the gale ;
Its bounties richly spread the plain,
The blushing fruit, the golden grain,

And smile in every vale.

4 But in Thy word, I see it shine
With grace and glories more divine,
Proclaiming sin forgiven;
There Faith, bright cherub, points the

way

To realms of everlasting day,
And opens all her heaven.

5 Then let the love that makes me blest
With cheerful praise inspire my breast,
And ardent gratitude;

And all my thoughts and passions tend
To Thee, my Father and my Friend,
My soul's eternal good!
