Universal Praise to God.

f 1 PRAISE the LORD, ye Saints below!
Angels too, in heav'n which glow!
Praise Him for his mighty deeds,
And his love, which thought exceeds!
f 2 Praise Him, thron'd in glorious light!
Praise Him, God of matchless might!-
Let the harp's sweet strings rejoice,
And loud trumpet join its noise!

3 In his praise let timbrels ring ;-
Let the flute its softness bring,
While the organ's awful sound

ff< In his praise doth shake the ground!

4 Praise Him on the cymbals sharp;
Praise with voice, more sweet than harp!
O, let ev'ry breathing thing

Praise to God, JEHOVAH, sing!

His praise let the psalt'ry and harp too rebound,
With timbrel,and cymbal,and deep organ's roar;-
All ye, who have breath, praise the Lord, and

OF GOD AND HIS WORKS.

L. M.

St. Paul's. Trenton.

God the almighty Creator.

aff 1 ALL-glorious God! thy boundless power
And wondrous goodness we adore!
Thou dwellest in eternal light,
O'er-dazzling to created sight!

2.

2 Yet, Lord, the countless worlds, which shine,
Display thy majesty divine:

At thy command, O Thou most high,
They fill'd the arch of yon blue sky.

3 When Thou didst say, "Let there be light,"
Then glory burst out on the sight:—

By Thee were earth's foundations laid,
And earth in beauty was arrayed.

4 But all, which beams out on the eye,
From earth beneath and yonder sky,
Are faint reflections of thy power
And of thy love, which we adore!

L.M.

ALLEN.

Arnheim. Winchelsea.

The Creation of the World.

1 GOD spake, and from chaotic night
At once sprung forth the cheering light,
The earth in beauty was arrayed,
All things his wondrous pow'r displayed.
