1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,

He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His careOur souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name?

4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs;

High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand

tongues,

Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.

5 Wide as the world is Thy command; Vast as eternity Thy love;

Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand When rolling years shall cease to move. 2

1 GREAT One in Three, great Three in One,

Thy wondrous name we sound abroad;
Prostrate we fall before Thy throne,
O holy, holy, holy Lord!

2 Thee, holy Father, we confess;
Thee, holy Saviour, we adore;
And Thee, O Holy Ghost, we bless
And praise and worship evermore.

3 Thou art by heaven and earth adored; Thy universe is full of Thee,

3

O holy, holy, holy Lord!

Great Three in One, great One in Three !

Psalm 100.

1 YE nations round the earth rejoice Before the Lord, your sovereign King; Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice;

2

With all your tongues His glory sing.

The Lord is God; 'tis He alone Doth life, and breath, and being give; We are His work and not our own— The sheep that on His pastures live. 3 Enter His gates with songs of joy, With praises to his courts repair, And make it your divine employ To pay your thanks and honors there.

4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind; Great is His grace, His mercy sure; And the whole race of man shall find His truth from age to age endure.

dwell;

Thy power on earth be known abroad;
Let land to land Thy wonders tell.

2 My heart is fixed, my song shall raise
Immortal honors to Thy name.
Awake, my tongue, to sound His praise,
My tongue, the glory of my frame.

3 High o'er the earth His mercy reigns,
And reaches to the utmost sky;
His truth to endless years remains,
When lower worlds dissolve and die.
4 Be Thou exalted, O my God,
Above the heavens where angels
dwell;

Thy power on earth be known abroad Let land to land Thy wonders tell.

1 JEHOVAH reigns; He dwells in light,
Girded with majesty and might;
The world, created by His hands,
Still on its firm foundation stands.

2 But ere this spacious world was made,
Or had its first foundation laid,
Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Thyself the ever-living God.

3 Like floods the angry nations rise,
And aim their rage against the skies;
Vain floods that aim their rage so high!
At Thy rebuke the billows die.

4 Forever shall Thy throne endure,
Thy promise stand forever sure;
And everlasting holiness

Becomes the dwelling of Thy grace.

Psalm 97.

1 JEHOVAH reigns; His throne is high,
His robes are light and majesty;
His glory shines with beams so bright
No mortal can sustain the sight.

2 His terrors keep the world in awe;
His justice guards His holy law;
His love reveals a smiling face;
His truth and promise seal the grace.
3 Through all His works His wisdom
shines,

And baffles Satan's deep designs;.
His power is sovereign to fulfil
The noblest counsels of His will.

4 And will this glorious Lord descend
To be my father and my friend!
Then let my songs with angels join;
Heaven is secure, if God be mine.

1 AWAKE, my tongue! thy tribute bring To Him who gave thee power to sing; Praise Him who is all praise above, The source of wisdom and of love.

2 How vast His knowledge-how profound!

A depth where all our thoughts are drowned!

The stars He numbers, and their

names

He gives to all those heavenly flames.

3 Through each bright world above, behold.

Ten thousand thousand charms unfold;
Earth, air, and mighty seas combine
To speak His wisdom all divine,

4 But in redemption, O what grace!
Its wonders, O what thought can trace!
Here wisdom shines forever bright-
Praise Him, my soul, with sweet de
light.

1 PRAISE, everlasting praise, be paid
To Him who earth's foundation laid;
Praise to the God whose strong decrees
Sway the creation as He please.

2 Praise to the goodness of the Lord,
Who rules His people by His word;
And there, as strong as His decrees,
He sets His kindest promises.

30 for a strong, a lasting faith,
To credit what the Almighty saith;
To embrace the message of His Son,
And call the joys of heaven our own.
4 Then, should the earth's old pillars
shake,

And all the wheels of nature break, Our steady souls would fear no more Than solid rocks when billows roar.
