Thy universe is full of Thee,
And speaks thy glorious name.
3. Thee, Holy Father, we confess;
Thee, Holy Son, adore;
Thee, Spirit of Truth and Holiness,
We worship evermore.
4. Three Persons equally divine,
We magnify and love;
And saints and angels soon shall join,
To sing Thy praise above.
(See also DOXOLOGIES.)
WHO shall ascend the heavenly place,
Great God, and dwell before,Thy face?—
The man that minds religion now,
And humbly walks with God below.
2. Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean:
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbour wrong.
3. He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and grind the poor,
Sweet Charity attends his door.
4. He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same,
That he would hope or wish from them.
5. Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone ;—
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord, with Thee.

BLEST are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty:
Treasures of grace to them are given,
And crowns of joy laid up in heaven.
2. Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart;
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.
3. Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supplied, and fed
With living streams and living bread.
4. Blest are the men whose bowels move,
And melt with sympathy and love;
From Christ the Lord shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.
5. Blest are the pure, whose hearts are clean, From the defiling power of sin;
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.
6. Blest are the sufferers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
Glory and joy are their reward,
Thy universe is full of Thee,
And speaks thy glorious name.

Place which God hath made thine own.
319 C. M. His Protection and Safety. WATTS.
UNSHAKEN as the sacred hill,
And firm as mountains be,
Firm as a rock the soul shall rest,
That leans, O Lord, on Thee.
2. Not walls nor hills could guard so well
Old Salem's happy ground,
As those eternal arms of love,
That every saint surround.
3. Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere,
And lead them safely on,
To the bright gates of paradise,
Where Christ their Lord is gone.
DIVINELY sheltered, on life's ocean,
We its fiercest storms defy;
Calm amidst tumultuous motion,
Knowing that our Lord is nigh:
Waves obey Him,
And the storins before him fly.
2. Rendered safe by His protection,
We shall pass the watery waste;
Trusting to his wise direction,
We shall gain the port at last;
And, with wonder,
Think on toils and dangers past,
