AGLORY in the Word we find

C. M.

When grace restores our sight; But sin has darken'd all the mind, And veil'd the heavenly light.

2 When God the Spirit clears our view, How bright the doctrines shine! Their holy fruits and sweetness show The Author is divine.

3 How blest are we with open face
To view thy glory, Lord,

And all thine image here to trace
Reflected in thy word!

4 O, teach us, as we look, to grow
In holiness and love,

That we may long to see and know
Thy glorious face above.

HYMN

ERALDS of creation! cry,

HE

Praise the LORD, the LORD most high!

Heaven and earth! obey the call,

Praise the LORD, the LORD of all.

2 For He spake, and forth from night
Sprang the universe to light:
He commanded, - Nature heard,
And stood fast upon His word.

3 Praise Him, all ye hosts above,
Spirits perfected in love;

Sun and moon! your voices raise,
Sing, ye stars! your Maker's praise.

4 Earth from all thy depths below,
Ocean's hallelujahs flow,

Lightning, vapour, wind, and storm,
Hail and snow! His will perform.

5 Vales and mountains! burst in song;
Rivers! roll his praise along;
Clap your hands, ye trees! and hail
GOD, who comes in every gale.

6 Birds on wings of rapture soar,
Warble at His Temple door;
Joyful sounds from herds and flocks,
Echo back, ye caves and rocks!

7 Kings! your Sovereign serve with awe;
Judges own His righteous law;
Princes! worship Him with fear;
Bow the knee, all people! here.

8 Let His truth by babes be told,
And His wonders by the old;
Youths and maidens ! in your prime,
Learn the lays of heaven betime.

9 High above all height His throne,
Excellent His name alone;
Him let all His works confess,
Him let every being bless.

HYMN

III. 1.

ET us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us sound His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God,
Who by wisdom did create
Heaven's expanse and all its state;

2 Solid earth He did ordain
How to rise above the main;
And, by His commanding might,
Fill'd the new-made earth with light;
Caused the golden-tressed sun
All the day his course to run;
And the moon to shine by night,
'Mid her spangled sisters bright.

3 All His creatures God doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need;
Let us therefore warble forth
His high majesty and worth.
He His mansion hath on high,
Past the reach of mortal eye;
And His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

HYMN

NE

With its ten thousand tongues The everlasting sea proclaims, Echoing angelic songs.

2 The raging fire, the roaring wind,
His boundless power display:
But in the gentler breeze we find
The Spirit's viewless way.

3 Two worlds are ours: 'tis only sin Forbids us to descry

The mystic heaven and earth within, Plain as the sea and sky.

4 Thou, who hast giv'n me eyes to see,
And love this sight so fair,
Give me a heart to find out Thee,
And read Thee everywhere.

HYMN

I

SING the almighty power of God, That made the mountains rise; That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies.

2 I sing the wisdom that ordain'd
The sun to rule the day:

The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.

3 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
That fill'd the earth with food;

He form'd the creatures with His word,
And then pronounced them good.

4 Lord, how Thy wonders are display'd, Where'er I turn mine eyes, Though I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the skies!

5 There's not a plant or flower below, But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne.

6 Creatures, as numerous as they be,
Are subject to Thy care;
There's not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.

7 In heaven are seen His beams of love, His wrath in hell beneath; 'Tis on His earth I stand or move, And 'tis His air I breathe.

8 His hand is my perpetual guard,
He keeps me with His eye:
Why should I then forget the Lord,
Who is for ever nigh?
