4 Then let me join this holy train,
And my glad offerings bring;
The Eternal God will not disdain
To hear an infant sing.

5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys,
And Angels shall rejoice,

To hear their mighty Maker's praise
Sung by my feeble voice.

SONG II.

PRAISE FOR CREATION AND PROVIDENCE.

1 I SING the Almighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise ;
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.

2 I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;

The moon to shine at His command,
And all the stars to obey.

3 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
That filled the earth with food:
He formed the creatures by His Word,
And then pronounced them good.

4 Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, Where'er I turn mine eye;

If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!

5 There's not a plant or flower below,
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Thy throne.

6 All creatures, numerous as they be, Are subject to Thy care;

There's not a place where we can flee, But God is present there.

7 In Heaven He shines with beams of love,

With wrath in hell beneath; "Tis on His earth I stand or move, And 'tis His air I breathe.

8 His hand is my perpetual guard,
He keeps me with His eye;

Why should I then forget the Lord,
Who is for ever nigh?

SONG III.

PRAISE TO GOD FOR OUR REDEMPTION.

1 BLEST be the wisdom and the power,
The justice and the grace,

That joined in council to restore
And save our ruined race.

2 Our father ate forbidden fruit, And from his glory fell;

And we, his children, thus were brought To death, and near to hell.

3 Blest be the Lord, that sent His Son
To take our flesh and blood;

He for our lives gave up His own,
To make our peace with God.
4 He honoured all His Father's laws,
Which man had disobeyed;
He bore our sins upon the Cross,
And our full ransom paid.

5 Behold Him rising from the grave;
Behold Him raised on high;

He pleads His merits there to save
Transgressors doomed to die.

6 There on a glorious throne He reigns, And by His power divine

Redeems us from the slavish chains

Of Satan and of sin.

7 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come,

And with a sovereign voice

Shall call, and break up every tomb,

While waking saints rejoice.

8 O! may I then with joy appear
Before the Judge's face,

And with the blest assembly there
Sing His redeeming grace!

SONG IV.

PRAISE FOR MERCIES SPIRITUAL AND

TEMPORAL.

1 WHENE'ER I take my walks abroad,

How many poor I see!

What shall I render to my God,
For all His gifts to me?
