Art Thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God?-Hab. i. 12.

mp11GREAT God, how infinite art Thou!

What worthless worms are we! cr Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to Thee.

2 Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.

3 Nature and time quite naked lie
To thine immense survey,
From the formation of the sky
To the great burning day.

4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in Thy view; To Thee there's nothing old appears; Great God, there's nothing new. mp 5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,

And vexed with trifling cares;

cr While Thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

mp 6 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
What worthless worms are we!

f Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee. Amen.

The God of Abraham.-Gen. xxxi. 42

14 THE God of Abraham praise,

Who reigns enthroned above;

Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love.
Jehovah, great I AM,

By earth and heaven confessed: dim We bow and own the sacred name, For ever blest.

f 2 The God of Abraham praise,

At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand.
We all on earth forsake,

Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him our only portion make,

Our shield and tower.

3 The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide us through the wilderness
To see His face.

He is our faithful Friend;
He is our gracious God;
And He will save us to the end
Through Jesus' blood.

mf 4 He, by Himself, hath sworn;
We on His oath depend,

We shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:

cr We shall behold His face,
We shall His power adore,
ƒ And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.

ff 5 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high:
Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
They ever cry:

Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
We join the heavenly lays,
And celebrate with all our powers

His endless praise. Amen.
