A collection of hymns adapted to congregational worship, by W. Urwick

6 Come saints, with all your pow'rs, and bow In lowly homage at his feet; He waits t'accept your tribute now, He waits upon the mercy-seat. 7 Trusting the Mediator's name, With filial fear and joy draw nigh; Unite his glories to proclaim,

Approach, and sound his honours high.

6.8.4. Praise to the God of Abraham. Gen. xxxi. 42.

THE God of Abr'am praise,
Who reigns enthron'd above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love!
Jehovah, great I AM!

By earth and heav'n confess'd;
We bow and bless the sacred name,

For ever bless'd.

The God of Abrʼam 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 pow'r;
And Him our only portion make,
Our shield and tow'r.

The God of Abr'am 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.

The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high:

"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry.

Hail, Abr'am's God and ours!

We join the heav'nly lays,

And celebrate, with all our pow'rs,
His worthy praise.

L. M. Universal Praise. Isai. vi. 1-3; Rev. v. 13, 14.

1 WE praise, we worship thee, O God,
Thy sov'reign pow'r we sound abroad;
All nations bow before thy throne,
And thee the great Jehovah own.
2 Loud hallelujahs to thy name,
Angels and seraphim proclaim;
By all the pow'rs and thrones in heav'n,
Eternal praise to thee is giv❜n.

3 O Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!

Thou God of Hosts, by all ador'd!
Earth and the heav'ns are full of thee,
Thy light, thy pow'r, thy majesty !
4 Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud triumphant song;
Prophets and martyrs hear the sound,
And spread the hallelujah round.
5 Glory to thee, O God most high!
Father, we praise thy majesty!
The Son, the Spirit, we adore ;-
Creator, Saviour, Comforter !

C. M. God's praise perpetuated. Psalm cxlv. 1—13.

1 LONG as we live we'll praise thy name,
Our King, our God of love;

Our bless'd employ shall be the same
In the bright world above.

2 Great is the Lord, his pow'r unknown,
And let his praise be great;

We'll sing the honours of his throne,
His works of grace repeat.

3 God reigns on high, but not confines
His goodness to the skies;

Through the whole earth his bounty shines,
And ev'ry want supplies.

4 Creatures with all their endless race,
His pow'r and skill proclaim;
But saints who taste his richer grace,
Delight to bless his name.

5 Fathers to sons his name shall bear,
And make them learn his ways;
Ages to come his truth declare,
And nations sound his praise.

6 The world was fashion'd by his hands;
His saints are rul'd by love;
And his eternal kingdom stands,
Though rocks and hills remove.

L.M. Praise to God for his perfections and works. Ps.cxlv.
1 O Gon, our King, thy various praise
Shall fill the remnant of our days;
Thy grace employ our humble tongues,
Till death and glory raise our songs.
2 Thy truth and justice we'll proclaim;
Thy bounty flows, an endless stream;
Thy mercy swift; thine anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn foe.

3 Let distant times and nations raise
The long succession of thy praise;
And unborn ages make our songs.
The joy and labour of their tongues.

8 Let princes hear, let angels know,
How mean their natures seem;
Those gods on high, and gods below,
When once compar'd with him.

4 Earth, with its caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his spacious hand;

He fix'd the seas what bounds to keep
And where the hills must stand.

5 Come, and with humble souls adore ;
Come, bow before his face;

O may the creatures of his pow'r
Be children of his grace!

L. M. Praise to the Divine Majesty. 1 Tim. vi. 15, 16.

1 IF subjects of an earthly king

Their monarch's glories wide proclaim,
The saints with greater zeal may sing
The honours of Jehovah's name.

2 His majesty exceeds all thought,
His judgments are unsearchable,

His will the world from nothing brought, How great his grace no tongue can tell. 3 In robes of uncreated light"

He fills his throne of brightness great;
Invisible to mortal sight

The bless'd and only Potentate.

4 The purpose which his will records,
His arm omnipotent maintains;
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
O'er all the universe he reigns.

5 Angels their noblest anthems raise
To him as God alone ador'd;
While seraphim respond his praise,
The Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!

Approach, and sound his honours high.

6. 8. 4. Praise to the God of Abraham. Gen. xxxi. 42.

THE God of Abr'am praise,

Who reigns enthron'd above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love!
Jehovah, great I AM!
