Angels and arch-angels join;
We, with them, our voices raise,
Echoing Thine eternal praise.

Live, by heav'n and earth ador'd;
Let Thy praises fill the sky,
"Glory be to Gop on high."

Glory to our GOD and King;

To rehearse His solemn praise.

Angels, help the chearful sound
Publish thro' the world aloud,
Glory to th' eternal GOD.

Gracious, Thou, our thanks receive;
Holy FATHER, sov'reign LORD,
Ev'ry where be Thou ador'd;

4 Thro' the world's extent proclaim,
Endless praise to JESU's name:
SAVIOUR, Thee we ever bless,
Thee our LORD and GOD confess.

I COME Thou incarnate WORD,

Gird on Thy mighty sword,

Our prayer attend:

Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy word success;
SPIRIT of holiness,

On us descend.

2 Come, holy COMFORTER,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour :
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in ev'ry heart;
And ne'er from us depart,
SPIRIT of pow'r!

Eternal praises be,
Hence evermore :
His Triune Majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity,
Love and adore !

Psalm lxxxiv. 1.

(s. M.)

1 WELCOME, sweet day of rest,

That saw the LORD arise:

Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!

2 The King himself comes near,
To bless His saints to day;
Here may we meet, and see Him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.

3 One day amidst the place,

Where Thou, my GoD, hath been,
Is better than ten thousand days
Of vanity and sin.

40 that my soul could stay
In such a frame as this,

And sing Thy praise, and soar away,
To everlasting bliss.

1 LORD of glory, and salvation,
Reign ador'd by all creation,
Men below and hosts above;
Saints with praises, never ceasing,
Worship, honour, glory, blessing,

Chaunt the triumphs of Thy love.

2 Saints on earth, their off'rings bringing,
Join the Church triumphant, singing,
Ever be Thy name ador'd.

Heav'n and earth unite their praises,
One blest theme the chorus raises,
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD.

3 Praise eternal, praise ascending,
Hallelujahs never ending,

Through eternity be Thine! Perfect with Thy saints in glory, Be our bliss to bow before Thee, And adore Thy LOVE DIVINE.

(Ord 148th)

Matt. xiii. 23. Rev. xxii. 20, 25.

1 ON what has now been sown, Thy blessing, LORD, bestow;

The pow'r is Thine alone,

To make it spring and grow;
Do Thou the gracious harvest raise,
And Thou alone shalt have the praise.

2 To Thee our wants are known,
From Thee are all our pow'rs

Accept what is Thy own,

And pardon what is ours;

Our praises, LORD, and pray'rs receive,
And to Thy word a blessing give.

3 Oh grant that each of us

Now met before Thee here, May meet together thus,

When Thou and Thine appear! And follow Thee, to heav'n our home, E'en so, Amen, LORD JESUS, come.

Old 113th.

PRAISE GOD the LORD enthron'd on high;
Praise GOD THE SON, who deign'd to die,
And GOD THE HOLY GHOST adore.
Praise to th' Eternal Three be giv'n,
By all in earth, and all in heav'n,
Both now, henceforth, for evermore.

308

1 GIVE to the FATHER praise
Give glory to the SON;

And to the SPIRIT of His grace
Be equal honours done.

2 TO CHRIST th' anointed King,
Be endless blessings giv'n:
Let the whole earth His glory sing,
And all the hosts of heav'n.
