FOR A DAY OF THANKSGIVING,
Y GOD, my King, Thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days, Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song,
2 The wings of ev'ry hour shall bear Some thankful tribute to thine ear; And ev'ry setting sun shall see New works of duty done for Thee.
3 Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim; Thy bounty flows an endless stream, Thy mercy swift, Thine anger slow, But dreadful to the stubborn foe.
4 Thy works with sov'reign glory shine, And speak Thy Majesty divine; Let Britain round her shores proclaim The sound and honor of Thy name.
5 But who can speak Thy wond'rous deeds? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds ; Vast and unsearchable Thy ways! Vast and immortal be Thy praise !

1 Tim. ii. 1, 2. (Old 113th.)
1 LORD, Thou hast bid Thy people pray, For all who bear the sov'reign sway, And Thy vicegerents reign; Rulers, and governors, and pow'rs; And lo! we humbly pray for ours! Nor let us pray in vain.
2 O GOD, Thy chosen servant guard, And ev'ry threat'ning danger ward From His anointed head;
Bid all His griefs and troubles cease, Thro' paths of righteousness and peace Our King propitious lead.
3 Cover His enemies with shame, Abate their pride, defeat their aim, And make their counsels vain; Grant Him a long illustrious line- In virtue's splendid list to shine, Through latest age to reign.
4 Upon Him show'r Thy blessings down, Crown Him with grace, with glory crown, And everlasting joys;
While wealth, prosperity and peace, Our Nation and our Churches bless, And praise THE LAND employs.
PUBLIC WORSHIP IN GENERAL.
Prefixed to the Old English Bible printed in 1607. 1 HERE is the spring where waters flow, To quench the heat of sin;
Here is the tree where truth doth grow, To lead our lives therein.
2 The tidings of salvation dear Come to our ears from hence, The fortress of our faith is here, And shield of our defence.
3 Read not this book in any case But with a single eye;
Read not but first desire God's grace To understand thereby.-
4 Pray still in faith with this respect, To fructify therein :
That knowledge may have this effect, To mortify Thy sin.
5 Then happy thou in all Thy life, What e'er to Thee befalls! Yea, doubly happy shalt thou be, When GOD, by death, thee calls
1 GLORY be to GOD on high,
GOD, whose glory fills the sky; Peace on earth and man forgiv'n,- Man, the well belov'd of heav'n. 2. Sov'reign FATHER, heav'nly King, Thee we now presume to sing; Glad Thine attributes confess, Glorious all, and numberless. 8 Hail; by all Thy works ador'd! Hail, the everlasting LORD! Thee with thankful hearts we prove LORD of pow'r, and GoD of love.
4 CHRIST, our LORD, and Gop we own, CHRIST, the FATHER'S only SON, LAMB of GOD, for sinners slain, SAVIOUR of offending man.
1 LORD and GOD of heav'nly pow'rs,
Theirs, and O benignly ours! Glorious King, let earth proclaim, Saints attempt to chaunt Thy name. 2 Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Thou art LORD and only Thou! JESUS, in Thy name we prays Take, O take our sins away!
