Eph. ii. 1. 6.

P. M. 8, 7,

H 1.

AIL, Thou Source of ev'ry blessing,
AIL
Sov'reign Father of mankind l
Gentiles now thy grace possessing,
In Thy courts admission find.
Grateful now we fail before Thee,
In Thy church obtain a place,
Now by faith behold Thy glory,
Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace.
Once far off, but now invited,
We approach Thy sacred throne,
In Thy Covenant united,

Reconcil'd, redeem'd, made one,
Now reveal'd to eastern sages,

See the star of mercy shine, Myst'ry hid in former ages; Myst'ry great of love divine.

3 Hail, Thou universal SAVIOUR! Gentiles now their off'rings bring, In Thy temple seek Thy favor,

1

JESUS CHRIST our LORD and KING:
May we, body, soul and spirit,
Live devoted to Thy praise,
Glorious realms of bliss inherit,
Grateful anthems ever raise.

RISE, O Sun of righteousness

L.M.

The nations of the world to bless;
With healing in Thy, beams arise, buo.I
Display Thy glories thro' the skies.

2 As rain on meadows newly mown,
So send, O LORD, Thy influence downa/.
Thy grace on fainting souls distils; well
Like heav'nly dew on thirsty hills.

8 Let heathen lands that lie beneath
The shades of overspreading deathynde &
Revive at Thy first dawning light, bu
And desarts blossom at the sight.vdy

4 The saints shall flourish in Thy days,
Drest in the robes of joy and praise,
Peace, like a river, from Thy throne,
Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

my soul be stuif. eo.

All the promises do travail

With a glorious day of grace:

Hallelujah

Once obtain❜d on Calvary.
Let the gospel

Loud resound from pole to polė.

3 Kingdoms wide, that sit in darkness.
Grant them LORD the glorious light,
And from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night,
Hallelujah!

Rise to light eternal day.

Fly abroad thou mighty Gospel,
Spread Thy conquests, never cease;
May Thy lasting wide dominions an
Multiply, and still increase;
Sway, thy Sceptre !

SAVIOUR all the world around. 6 4 4st druka

See around the glory shine,
On thee view the LORD arising,
Cloth'd in brightness all divine;

To Thy fight the nations come.

Day of JEsu's deathless fame!
When the fulness of the Gentiles
Shall exult to own His name.
Reign for ever!

KING of Kings, and LORD of Lords.

But in Tay Life the Law appearstava ol
Drawn out in living characters. gas, A.

2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such deff'rence to Thy FATHER'S will, o Such love and meekness so divine,

I would transcribe and make them mine.

3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witness'd the fervor of Thy pray'r;
The desart Thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and Thy vict'ry too.

4 Be Thou my pattern, make me bear
More of Thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge shall own my name
Amongst the follow'rs of the LAMB.

PSALM XIV. i

Rom. v. 21.

PARISE, O LORD, reveal Thy face,

Teach and inspire our tongues

To make Thy sov'reign, reigning grace
The subject of our songs.

No sweeter subject can invite ví
A grateful heart to sing,ma
Or more display the glorious right
Of our exalted King.

2 This subject fills the starry plains
With wonder, joy, and love:
And furnishes the noblest strains bạ
For all the harps above.

While the redeem'd in praise combine

To grace upon the throne,

Angels in solemn chorus join, Ji

And make the theme their own cont

3 LORD, when this changing If we may see Thy

life is past E

love at last

How shall we praise and love at

And sing Thy truth and grace Yet let us at while staceye

Thy mercy to display ;

And own, at least, the debt we owe,
Altho' we ne'er can pay.
