We glory in Thy name,
Thy fulness, love, and pow'r

Worthy art Thou, who once was slain,
Thro' endless years to live and reign.

O HOLY GHOST, to Thee,

To Thee our hearts we raise!

Accept our humble lay,

And deign t' inspire our praise.
THEE TRIUNE GOD we trust to adore,
When heav'n and earth are known no more.

231

Rev. i. 5, 6.

1 SING Hallelujah! praise the LORD!

Sing with a cheerful voice:

Exalt our GOD with one accord,
And in His name rejoice;

Ne'er cease to sing, thou ransom'd host,
Praise FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST,
Until in realms of endless light
Your praises shall unite.

2 May we to all eternity

There join the angelic lays;

And sing in perfect harmony,
To GOD our SAVIOUR'S praise;
He hath redeem'd us by His blood,

Hath made us kings and priests to GOD,
FOR US, FOR US THE LAMB was slain,
PRAISE YE THE LORD. AMEN.

(P.M.)

PSALM CXIX. 1st. Metre. CXXII.

Rev. iv. 8, &c.

1 HAIL holy, holy, holy LORD!

Thrice blessed TRINITY!

By all Thy heav'nly hosts ador'd,
E'er man began to be:
Worship'd by all the saints below,
The GoD of truth and grace;

(C. M.)

Thro' faith the great THREE-ONE they know,
And triumph in Thy praise.

2 The upper and the lower choir
Shall soon be join'd in one,
And both triumphantly conspire
To worship round Thy throne:
Angels and saints, when time shall end,

Shall all Thy love display,

And in Thy glorious praises spend

1 F

An everlasting day.

233

ATHER of all above, below,

(L. M. Old 112th.)

Thy praise let ev'ry creature shew, In Thee who live, and move and are, The FATHER'S Everlasting SON, Eternal Sharer of His throne,

Let all in heav'n and earth declare.

2 Hail, HOLY GHOST! alike ador'd,"
ONE with the FATHER and the WORD,
The LORD of Life, the great I AM!
Co-equal, Co-eternal THREE,
Thy glorious TRIUNE DEITY
Let all eternally proclaim.

Psalm i. xvi. lxxxiv.

THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.

PSALM CXIX. 2nd. Metre LXIII.

Luke xiv. 16.

1 RISE, my soul, with joy obey The mandate of thy LORD;

"All things are ready, come away,"
Thus speaks the sacred word.

2 In CHRIST, the FATHER reconcil'd
Invites our souls to come:
The penitent He calls His child,
And kindly welcomes home.

30 then return unto the Lord,
The world and sin forsake;
See happiness in CHRIST restor❜d,
And all His gifts partake.

40 come, and with His children taste
The blessings of His love;

While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.

5 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th' eternal throne,

Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice
In extacies unknown.

6 And yet ten thousand thousand more,
Are welcome still to come:
Arise, my soul, the grace adore:
Approach, "there yet is room."
Psalm lxxxvi. cxxxv. cxlv,

(C. M.)

THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.

PSALM CXIX. 3rd. Metre. (Old 112th.)

Micah. vii. 18.

1 GREAT GOD of wonders, all Thy ways
Are matchless, God-like and divine;
But the fair glories of Thy grace

More God-like and unrivall'd shine.
Who is a pard'ning God like Thee !
Or who has grace so rich and free?
2 Sins of such numbers to forgive,

Guilty, offending worms to spare;
This is Thy grand prerogative.
And none shall in the glory share,
Who is, &c.

3 Angels and men, resign your claim
To pity, mercy, love and grace;
These glories crown JEHOVAH's name
With an incomparable blaze.

Who is, &c.

4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy, We take the pardon of our GoD; Pardon for sins of deepest dye,

A pardon bought with JESU's blood.
Who is, &c.

5 0 may this great, this matchless grace,
This God-like miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
And all angelic hosts above!

Who is a pard'ning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free ?
Psalm iv. lxxxix, xei.

THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.

PSALM CXIX. 4th. Metre.

Rom. viii, 18.

1 LORD! what are all our suff'rings here,
May we but with Thy saints appear,

And see the glories of Thy face,
Reveal'd in truth and righteousness.
2 Expecting blessings at Thy gates,
For Thee the whole creation waits;
And full deliv'rance seeks from Thee
Thy children's glorious liberty.""
3 O gracious SAVIOUR, and our GOD,
Array'd in majesty and blood, “
Be thou our life! our souls in Thee
Possess their full felicity.

4 All our immortal hopes are laid,
In Thee our Surety and our Head,
Thy cross, nativity and throne,
Are full of glory yet unknown.
50 may our joyful faith proclaim,
Life thro' MESSIAH's sacred name,
A word of Thine Almighty breath,
Disarms the sting and fears of death.
6 Here may my soul for ever lie,

Beneath the blessings of Thine eye;
'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above,
To see Thy face, to praise Thy love.

Psalm viii. xc. XCV.

(L. M.)
