Psalm 104

23
1 O WORSHIP the King, all glorious above,

O gratefully sing His power and His love ;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,

Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,

Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath deep thunder-clouds form,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 The 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 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,

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail :
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love!

While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise.

The Lord's Prayer.
1 Our Father in heaven, we hallow Thy Name:

May Thy kingdom holy on earth be the same:
O give to us daily our portion of bread :

It is from Thy bounty that all must be fed.
2 Forgive our transgressions, and teach us to know

That humble compassion which pardons each foe;
Keep us from temptation, from evil and sin,
And Thine be the glory, forever! Amen!

24

3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, 6 Hallelujah! Lord, to Thee, Spirits blest, before the throne,

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Speeding thence at Thy command, Godhead One, and Persons Three;

And when Thy commands are done, Join with us the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly,

Singing everlastingly, To the Blessed Trinity.

To the Blessed Trinity.

IO
1 The God of Abraham praise,

4 The whole triumphant host Who reigns enthroned above,

Give thanks to God on high ; Ancient of everlasting days,

“Hail! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !* And God of Love !

They ever cry: Jehovah ! Great I AM !

Hail ! Abraham's God, and mine! By earth and heaven confest ;

I join the heavenly lays ;
I bow and bless the sacred Name, All might and majesty are Thine,
Forever blest !

And endless praise !
2 The God who reigns on high, 5 The God of Abraham praise,
The great archangels sing,

At whose

supreme command And, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” cry,

From earth I rise, and seek the joys “Almighty King!

At His right hand : Who was, and is, the same,

I all on earth forsake, And evermore shall be !"

Its wisdom, fame, and power; Jehovah ! Father ! Great I AM ! And Him my only portion make, We worship Thee !

My shield and tower. 3 Before the Saviour's face

6 He by Himself hath sworn; The ransomed nations bow,

I on His oath depend ; O'erwhelmed at His Almighty grace, I shall, on angel wings upborne, Forever new :

To heaven ascend : He shows His prints of love ;

I shall behold His face,
They kindle to a flame,

I shall His power adore,
And sound, through all the worlds above, And sing the wonders of His grace
The slaughtered Lamb !

For evermore.
