"Praise Him, all ye People."
Ps. cxvii. 1. Rom. xv. II.
2 When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him, whate'er betide,
His love is all-sustaining;
Triumphant songs of praise
To Him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,
"O praise our God alway;"
Let all His saints adore Him.
3 Rejoice to day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His name;
For He is God alone
Who hath His mercy shewn;
Let all His saints adore Him.

sing, Help us to praise :
Father all- glorious, O'er all victorious, Come, and reign over us, Ancient of days.
"Let there be Light."
Gen. i. 3. 2 Cor. iv. 6.
I THOU, whose almighty Word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight;
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the Gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
"Let there be light."
2 Thou, who didst come to bring
On Thy redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O, now to all mankind
"Let there be light."
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight:
Move o'er the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
"Let there be light."
4 Blessed and Holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might;
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world, far and wide,
"Let there be light."

1. THEE we a - dore, e - ternal Lord, We praise Thy name with one ac - cord ;
Thy saints, who here Thy good- ness see, Through all the world do worship Thee.
z To Thee aloud all angels cry,
The heavens and all the powers on high:
Thee, Holy, holy, holy King,
Lord God of Hosts, they ever sing.
3 Th' apostles join the glorious throng;
The prophets swell th' immortal song;
The martyrs' noble army raise
Eternal anthems to Thy praise.
4 From day to day, O Lord, do we
Highly exalt and honor Thee:
Thy name we worship and adore,
World. without end, for evermore.
5 Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray,
To keep us safe from sin this day:
Have mercy, Lord, we trust in Thee;
O let us ne'er confounded be.
3 O Holy Spirit from above,
In streams of light and glory given, Thou source of ecstacy and love,
Thy praises ring through earth and heaven.
4 O God Triune, to Thee we owe
Our every thought, our every song;
And ever may Thy praises flow
From saint and seraph's burning tongue.
Rev. James Wallis Eastburn. (1797-1819.) 1819.
God with us, and in us.
I ETERNAL Father, when to Thee,
Beyond all worlds, by faith I soar,
Before Thy boundless majesty
I stand in silence, and adore.
2 But, Saviour, Thou art by my side:
Thy voice I hear, Thy face I see.
Thou art my friend, my daily guide;
God over all, yet God with me.
3 And Thou, Great Spirit, in my heart
Dost make Thy temple day by day:
The Holy Ghost of God Thou art,
Yet dwellest in this house of clay.
4 Blest Trinity, in Whom alone
All things created move or rest,
High in the heavens Thou hast Thy throne,
Thou hast Thy throne within my breast.
Rev. Hervey Doddridge Ganse. (1822-) 1872.
The Trinity humbly worshipped.
2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend:
To us Thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death, Before Thy throne we sinners bend: To us Thy quickening power extend.
4 Jehovah,-Father, Spirit, Son,
I PRAISES to Him whose love has given,
In Christ, His Son, the Life of Heaven;
Who for our darkness gives us light,
And turns to day our deepest night.
2 Praises to Him, in grace who came,
To bear our woe, and sin, and shame;
Who lived to die, who died to rise,
The God-accepted sacrifice.
3 Praises to Him the chain who broke,
Opened the prison, burst the yoke,
Sent forth its captives glad and free,
Heirs of an endless liberty.
4 Praises to Him who sheds abroad
Within our hearts the love of God;
The Spirit of all truth and peace,
Fountain of joy and holiness!
5 To Father, Son, and Spirit now
The hands we lift, the knees we bow;
To Thee, Jehovah, thus we raise
The sinner's endless song of praise.
Rev. Horatius Bonar. (1808-) 1861. ab. and alt.
I BLEST Trinity, from mortal sight
Veiled in Thine own eternal Light,
We Thee confess, in Thee believe,
To Thee with loving hearts we cleave.
2 O Father, Thou most Holy One!
O God of God, Eternal Son!
O Holy Ghost, Thou Love divine!
To join them Both is ever Thine.
3 The Father is in God the Son,
And with the Father He is One:
In Both the Spirit doth abide,
And with them Both is glorified.
4 Such as the Father, such the Son,
And such the Spirit, Three in One:
The Three one perfect Verity,
The Three one perfect Charity.
5 Eternal Father, Thee we praise;
To Thee, O Son, our hymns we raise;
O Holy Ghost, we Thee adore:
One mighty God for evermore.
Santolius Maglorianus. (1624-1684.) Tr. by Rev. Sir Henry Williams Baker. (1821-) 1861.
