O HYMN 530. P. M. Concluding Hymn of General Praise. NE general song of praise arise DODDRIDGE. To him whose goodness ceaseless flows; Rise then, our active powers, your task fulfil, $2 Let all of good theis bosom fires, To him, sole good, give praises due : To him our every thought ascend, To him our hopes, our wishes bend. From earth's wide bounds let louder hymns arise, And his own word convey the pious sacrifice. 3 In ardent adoration join'd, Obedient to thy holy will, To thee our noblest powers we bring : O may thy hand direct our wandering way, Obid thy light arise, and chase the clouds away.
