2 Thy right would we give Thee,
True homage Thy due,
And honour eternal,
The universe through.
With all Thy creation,
Earth, heaven, and sea,
In one acclamation
We celebrate Thee.

3 Renewed by Thy Spirit,
Redeemed by Thy Son,
Thy children revere Thee
For all Thou hast done.
O Father! returning

To love and to light,
Thy children are yearning
To praise Thee aright.

4 Our souls mount aspiring To reach the Divine, Partaking Thy nature

Through Christ—even Thine. Through Him we are soaring,

With Him in accord,

We triumph adoring,
We joy in the Lord.

5 We join with the angels,
And now there is given,
From earth, Hallelujah!
In answer to heaven.
Amen! be Thou glorious,
Below and above;

O'er all hearts victorious,
O Infinite Love!

The God of Abraham.—Gen. xxxi. 42.

THE God of Abraham praise,

Who reigns enthroned above,

Ancient of everlasting days,

And God of Love.

Jehovah, great I AM!

By earth and heaven confessed;
We bow and own the sacred name,
For ever blessed.

2 The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand.

We all on earth forsake,

Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him our only portion make,
Our shield and tower.

The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace

Shall guide us through the wilderness,

To see His face.

He is our faithful Friend;

He is our gracious God;
And He will save us to the end,

Through Jesus' blood.

Before His glorious throne
The saints exulting stand,

And tell the wonders He hath done
With His right hand;

The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,

And sing in songs which never end,
His wondrous Name.

The grand Archangels sing,
And "Holy, holy, holy" cry,

'Almighty King!

"Who wast, and art, the same, "And evermore shalt be! "Jehovah, Father, great I AM, "We worship Thee!"

He by Himself hath sworn,
We on His oath depend.

We shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:

We shall behold His face,
We shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.

There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our Righteousness!
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace!
On Zion's sacred height

His kingdom still maintains,
And glorious with the saints in light
For ever reigns.

The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;

"Hail Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

They ever cry.

Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
We join the heavenly lays,

And celebrate with all our powers
His endless praise.

I will praise the Lord with my whole heart.
Ps. cxi. I.

UR hearts shall praise Thee, God of love,
Here in Thy courts below;

Praise Thee, as angels praise above,

For more than they we owe.

2 When did Thy people call, and Thou
Their supplication spurn?

And shall our souls refuse Thee now
Their utmost in return?

3 Though Thou art high and we are low,
We are Thy daily care,
Thy hand restrains our fiercest foe,
And heals our worst despair.

4 Lord, finish what Thou hast begun
In love and grace divine;
Thy perfect will in us be done,
And all the praise be Thine.

43 Thou hast created all things.-Rev. iv. 11.

I RAISE to Thee, Thou great Creator,

PRAISE
Praise be Thine from every tongue;

Join, my soul, with every creature,
Join the universal song.

Father, source of all compassion,
Pure, unbounded grace is Thine;
Hail! the God of our Salvation,
Praise Him for His love divine.

2 For ten thousand blessings given,
For the hope of future joy,
Sound His praise through earth and hea
Sound Jehovah's praise on high;
Joyfully on earth adore Him,

Till, in heaven, our song we raise;
There, enraptured, fall before Him,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
