Earth's utmost ends
His power obey;
His glorious sway
The sky transcends.

Praise to God. Ps. 136.

1 LET us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for he is kind;
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us blaze his name abroad,
For of gods he is the God;
For his mercies, &c.

MILTON.

3 Who, with all-commanding might, Filled the new-made world with light; For his mercies, &c.

4 Caused the golden-tressed sun
All day long his course to run;
For his mercies, &c.

5 And the moon to shine by night,
'Mongst her spangled sisters bright;
For his mercies, &c.

6 His own people he did bless,
In the wasteful wilderness;
For his mercies, &c.

7 He hath, with a piteous eye, Viewed us in our misery;

For his mercies, &c.

8 All his creatures he doth feed; His full hand supplies their need; For his mercies, &c.

9 Let us, therefore, warble forth His high majesty and worth; For his mercies, &c.

Ps. 67.

1 O GOD, with goodness all thy own,
In mercy cause thy face to shine;
So shall thy ways on earth be known,
Thy saving health and power divine:
O, let the gladdening nations sing,

And praise thy name with hallowed mirth, For thou of righteousness art King,

And rulest all the subject earth.

2 O, let the people praise the Lord; The people all thy praise express; And earth her plenty shall afford,

And God, yea, our own God, shall bless : Our God his blessing shall bestow; His power, his goodness shall appear; And all the ends of earth shall know And worship him with holy fear.

Praise. Ps. 96.

1 SING ye with praise unto the Lord
New songs of joy and mirth;
Sing to the Lord with one accord,
All people of the earth.

2 Yea, sing unto the Lord, I say,
And magnify his name;

From day to day his praise display,
His saving health proclaim.

3 Before him honor stands in sight,
With majesty and grace;
Adored might and beauty bright
Are in his holy place.

4 Ye people, give unto the Lord,
Let every stock and tribe
Unto the Lord, with joint accord,
Glory and strength ascribe.

5 Give glory to the Lord the King,
Due to his name on high;
Devoutly bring an offering,
And to his courts draw nigh.

6 Yea, let the field and every thing
Therein lift up their voice;

The trees shall sing, the woods shall ring,
And mutually rejoice

7 Before the Lord; for, lo, he comes
The earth to judge and try;

To us he comes, with righteous dooms
Of truth and equity.

Praise to God from all Creatures. Ps. 148.

1 YE tribes of Adam, join

With heaven, and earth, and seas,

And offer notes divine

To your Creator's praise.

Ye holy throng

Of angels bright,
In worlds of light,
Begin the song.

2 Thou sun, with dazzling rays,
And moon, that rul'st the night,
Shine to your Maker's praise,
With stars of twinkling light.
His power declare,

Ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly

In empty air.

3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move
By his supreme command:
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came
To praise the Lord.

4 He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,

And each his word fulfils

While time and nature last:

In different ways
His works proclaim
His wondrous name,

And speak his praise.

5 Let all the nations fear

The God that rules above:

He brings his people near,

And makes them taste his love:

11

While earth and sky
Attempt his praise,
His saints shall raise
His honors high.

Universal Praise. Ps. 67.

1 TO bless thy chosen race,
In mercy, Lord, incline,

And cause the brightness of thy face
On all thy saints to shine;

2 That so thy wondrous way

May through the world be known, Whilst distant lands their tribute pay, And thy salvation own.

3 Let differing nations join
To celebrate thy fame;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine
To praise thy glorious name.

4 O, let them shout and sing,
Dissolved in pious mirth;

For thou, the righteous Judge and King, Shalt govern all the earth.

5 Let differing nations join

To celebrate thy fame;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine
To praise thy glorious name.
