3 Him, in whom they move and live,
Let ev'ry creature sing;
Glory to their Maker give,

And homage to their King:
Hallow'd be His name beneath,

As in heav'n, on earth ador'd! Praise the LORD in ev'ry breath :

LET ALL THINGS PRAISE THE LORD.

GLORIA PATRI. (Old 148.)

Ye boundless realms of joy,

Exalt JEHOVAH's name;
His praise your songs employ,
Above the starry frame:
Your voices raise, ye cherubim
And seraphim, to sing His praise.
Ye saints in glory, sing

MESSIAH'S endless praise,
Angels, archangels, bring

Your sweetest, noblest lays;
Join the whole family above,
In endless praise, in perfect love.
To the ETERNAL GOD,

The FATHER, and the SON,
The SPIRIT, all divine,

The glorious THREE in ONE, Salvation, pow'r, and praise be giv's, By all on earth, and all in heav'n.

HALLELUJAH! AMEN.

MORNING HYMN

BY BISHOP KENN.

1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run:

Shake off dull sloth and early rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Redeem thy mis-spent time that's past;
Live this day, as it were thy last,
Improve thy talents, take due care,
For the great day thyself prepare.

3 Let all thy converse be sincere ;
Thy conscience as the noon-day clear:
Think how th' all-seeing GOD thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

4 Wake and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part;
Who all night long unwearied sing,
Glory to the eternal King.

[ocr errors]

5 Glory to Thee, who safe has kept,
And hast refresh'd me while I slept;
Grant LORD, when I from death awake,
I may of endless life partake.

6 LORD, I my vows to Thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;

Guard my first spring of thought and will,
And with Thy grace my spirit fill.

7 Direct, controul, suggest this day,
All I design to do, or say;

That all my pow'rs with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

8 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host:
Praise FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST.

Evening.

1 GLORY to Thee, my GOD, this night,
For all the blessings of the light,

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Under Thy own Almighty wings.

2 Forgive me LORD, thro' CHRIST Thy SON,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread,
The grave as little as my bed!
Teach me to die, that so I may
Triumphant rise, at the last day.

(L. M.)

40 may my soul on Thee repose;
And with sweet sleep mine eye lids close :
Sleep that may me more active make,
To serve my GOD, when I awake.

5 Praise GOD, from whom all blessings flow, &c.

PART II. 153.

BY BISHOP ΚΕΝΝ.

1 BLESS'D angels, while we silent lie,
You hallelujahs sing on high;

You joyful chaunt the EVER BLEST,
Before the throne, and never rest.

2 I with your choir celestial join
In off'ring up a hymn divine;
With you in heaven I hope to dwell,
And bid the night and world farewell.

30 may I always ready stand,

With my lamp burning in my hand!
May I in sight of heav'n rejoice
Whene'er I hear my SAVIOUR's voice.

[blocks in formation]

(L. M.)

With thoughts and love of Thy great name!

5 Praise GOD, &c.

Evening.

1 NOW from the altar of my heart
Let inceuse flames arise,

Assist me LORD to offer up.
My evening sacrifice..
2 Minutes and mercies multiplied
Have made up all this day;

Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet, more free than they.

3 LORD of my time, whose hand hath set
New time upon my score;
Thee may I praise for all my time-
When time shall be no more..
