If earthly idol have our heart,
We, too, the Lord do mock!

FOURTH VERSION.-S. M. St. Thomas. Westminster.

Praise to God.

f 1 PRAISE ye the Lord on high!
Praise ye his holy name,
Extol his glorious majesty,
And his great love proclaim!

2 O, praise Him, for He's good ;
And joyful praises sing,

All ye, who in his house have stood:-
O, praise your heav'nly King!

$ In heaven is his throne,

Whose hosts his orders keep;

And through the earth He reigns alone,
And in the mighty deep!

4 The lightning is his sword,
And executes his will:

The rushing tempest bears his word,
And doth his law fulfil.

5 His truth, in swifter might,
Fulfils his kind intent ;

It shines forth glorious as the light,
Kindling the firmament!

f 6 Praise ye the Lord on high!
Praise ye his holy name,

Extol his glorious majesty,
And his great love proclaim!

ALLEN.

" 1 PRAISE ye the Lord, extol his name,
Ye, who in his house adore ;

All his wondrous works proclaim,—
Works of majesty and power!

2 God is great and God is good,
Great in might and rich in love;
Heav'n, and earth, and bill'wy flood
Show his pow'r, below, above.

3 Mists, that rise from wat❜ry plain,
Lightnings, gleaming from the cloud,
Rushing wind and hurricane,

All his glories speak abroad!

mp 4 Egypt mourn'd her first-born dead;
Egypt's monarch, in his pride,
Sank in waters deep, like lead,
Smitten by the Pow'r defied.

f

5 Lord, thy name fore'er endures,
Thy memorial in each age:
Mercy to thy saints secures
Heav'n's high, lasting heritage!

Wondrous Works of God.

1 GIVE to our God immortal praise ;
Mercy and truth are all his ways:
Wonders of grace to God belong ;
Repeat his mercies in your song!

2 He built the earth, He spread the sky,
And fix'd the starry lights on high:
He fills the sun with morning light,
He bids the moon direct the night.

3 His people, freed from Pharaoh's hand,
He guided to the promis'd land:
Give the Lord of lords renown,

The King of kings with glory crown!
mp 4 He saw the Gentiles dead in sin,
And felt his pity work within ;

He sent his Son with pow'r to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave.

And leads us to his heav'nly seat:
Wonders of grace to God belong ;
Repeat his mercies in your song!
