6. Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. James Montgomery, 1819. 69 8, 5, 8 l Lord, ’tis not that I did choose Thee, That could never be, For this heart would still refuse Thee; Thou hast chosen me, Hast from all the sin that stained me Washed and set me free And unto this end ordained me, That I live to Thee. 2. ’Twas Thy love and mercy called me, Taught my opening mind; Else the world had yet enthralled me, To Thy glories blind. Now my heart owns none above Thee; For Thy grace I thirst; Knowing well that, if I love Thee, Thou didst love me first. 3. Praise the God of all creation For His boundless love; Praise the Lamb, our Expiation, Priest enthroned above; Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom we live; Undivided adoration To the Godhead give! Josiah Condor, † 1855. 70 L. M. Give to our God immortal praise! Mercy and truth are all His ways, Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song. 2. Give to the Lord of lords renown, The King of kings with glory crown. His mercies ever shall endure When lords and kings are known no more. 3. He built the earth, He spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high. Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song. 4. He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the moon direct the night; His mercies ever shall endure When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5. He sent His Son with power to save From guilt and darkness and the grave. Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song. 6. Through this vain world He guides our feet And leads us to His heavenly seat. His mercies ever shall endure When this vain world shall be no more. Ps. 136. Isaac Watts, 1719. 71 7s 6 l God of mercy, God of grace, Show the brightness of Thy face! Shine upon us, Savior, shine, Fill Thy Church with light divine, And Thy saving health extend Unto earth’s remotest end. 2. Let the people praise Thee, Lord! Be by all that live adored; Let the nations shout and sing Glory to their Lord and King, At Thy feet their tribute pay, And Thy holy will obey.
