While the wide world esteem it strange, 6. Power of the Gospel. L. M. 1 WHAT shall the dying sinner do, That seeks relief for all his wo? Where shall the guilty conscience find Ease for the torment of the mind? Watts. 2 How shall we get our crimes forgiven, 4 This is the pillar of our hope 1 GOD. Watts' Ser. 7. Praise to the Creator. L. M. BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne Ye nations bow, with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when like wandering sheep we stray'd, 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, Firm as a rock thy truth must stand 8. Child's thoughts of God. L. M. 1 THERE is a GOD, who reigns above, Lord of the heaven, and earth, and seas; I fear his wrath, I ask his love, And with my lips I sing his praise. For I have often broke thy law. 4 There is an hour when I must die, Nor do I know how soon 'twill come; 5 Let me improve the hours I have, There's no repentance in the grave, 9. Child's song of praise. Watts. C. M. 1 HOW glorious is our heavenly King, How shall a child presume to sing 2 How great his power is, none can tell, Not men below, nor saints who dwell 3 Not angels who stand round the Lord 4 Then let me join this holy train, Th' eternal God will not disdain 5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys, To hear their mighty Maker's praise 10. God Omnipresent. L. M. A Child's Hymn. Watts. 1 AMONG the deepest shades of night 2 When every eye around me sleeps, 3 If I could find some cave unknown, On every side there would be GOD. 5 Yet I may flee-He shows me where; Known through the earth by thousand signs, 2 But when we view thy strange design Where vengeance and compassion join 3 Here the whole Deity is known; 4 Now the full glories of the Lamb Bright seraphs learn Emmanuel's name, 5 Oh, may I bear some humble part Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. Watts' Lyr. 1 12. Praise to God. C. M. 1 YE humble souls, approach your God For he is good, supremely good, 2 All nature owns his guardian care, 3 He gave his Son, his only Son, 'Tis here he makes his goodness known 4 To this dear refuge, Lord, we come, 5 Thine eye beholds, with kind regard, 6 Great God, to thine Almighty love 13. Universal praise. L. M. FROM all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise; Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Through every land, by every tongue. 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Eternal truth attends thy word: Steele. |
