3 Thy praises, Lord, we will resound To all the listening nations round; Thy mercy highest heaven transcends; Thy truth beyond the clouds extends. 4 Be thou, O God, exalted high; And as thy glory fills the sky, So let it be on earth displayed, Till thou art here, as there, obeyed. 150. 7s. M. Salisbury Coll. Adoration. 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, Be thy glorious name adored; Lord, thy mercies never fail; Hail, celestial goodness, hail! 2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear, Deign our humble songs to hear; Purer praise we hope to bring, When around thy throne we sing. 3 There no tongue shall silent be; All shall join in harmony; That, through heaven's capacious round, Praise to thee may ever sound. 4 Lord, thy mercies never fail; Hail, celestial goodness, hail! Holy, holy, holy Lord, Be thy glorious name adored. 151. 10s. & 11s. Grant. God Glorious. 1 O, worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love, Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 3 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 4 Father Almighty, how faithful thy love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays With true adoration shall lisp to thy praise. 152. C. M. Hemans. Invitation to offer Praise. 1 Praise ye the Lord; on every height Songs to his glory raise; Ye angel hosts, ye stars of night, Join in immortal praise. 2 O fire and vapor, hail and snow, Ye servants of his will; O stormy winds, that only blow His mandates to fulfil;-- 3 Mountains and rocks, to heaven that rise Fair cedars of the wood; Creatures of life that wing the skies, Or track the plains for food;-- 4 Judges of nations; kings, whose hand Waves the proud sceptre high; O youths and virgins of the land; O age and infancy;-- 5 Praise ye his name, to whom alone All homage should be given, Whose glory, from th' eternal throne, Spreads wide o'er earth and heaven. 153. 7s. M. Milton. Praise to God. 1 Let us, with a gladsome mind, Praise the Lord, for he is kind; For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. 2 Let us sound his name abroad, For of gods he is the God; Who, with all-commanding might, Filled the new-made world with light;
