3 O for a sight, a blissful sight
Of our almighty Father's throne!
There sits the Saviour crown'd with light,
Cloth'd in a body, like our own.

4 Adoring saints around him stand,

While thrones and pow'rs before him fall; And God shines gracious thro' the man, And sheds sweet glories on them all. 5 O what amazing joys they feel, While to their golden harps they sing, And sit on ev'ry heav'nly hill,

And spread the triumphs of their King! 6 When shall the day, dear Lord, appear, That I shall mount, to dwell above,

And stand, and bow, and worship there,
And view thy face, and sing, and love?
HYMN 46. Third Part. C. M.

Rejoicing in God our Father.

1 COME shout aloud the Father's grace, And sing the Saviour's love :

Soon shall you join the glorious theme
In loftier strains above.

2 God, the eternal, mighty God,
To dearer names descends :
Calls you his treasure and his joy,
His children and his friends.

3 My Father God! and may these lips
Pronounce a name so dear!

Not thus could heav'n's sweet harmony
Delight my list'ning ear.

4 Thanks to my God for ev'ry gift
His bounteous hands bestow;
And thanks eternal for that love
Whence all those comforts flow.

5 Forever let my grateful heart His boundless grace adore;

1

Which gives ten thousand blessings now,
And bids me hope for more.

HYMN 47. First Part. L. M.

Hallowed be thy Name.

AMONG the princes, earthly gods,

There's none hath pow'r divine;

Nor are their names nor works, O Lord,
Nor natures, like to thine.

2 Thy matchless pow'r, thy sov'reign sway, The nations shall adore;

Their long misguided prayers and praise
To thee, O God, restore.

3 Let all confess thy name and know
The wonders thou hast done;
Let all adore thee, God supreme,
And own thee God alone.

4 While heav'n, and all who dwell on high,
To thee their voices raise ;
Let the whole earth assist the sky,
And join t' advance thy praise.

HYMN 47. Second Part. L. M.
The name of God exalted above all praise.

1 ETERNAL Pow'r ! whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of our God;
Immensely far, beyond the bounds,
Where stars revolve their little rounds.

2 The lowest step above thy seat
Rises too high for Gabriel's feet;

In vain the tallest angel tries

To reach the height with wond'ring eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too;

From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name; But O! the glories of thy mind

Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heav'n, but man below; Rais'd be our thoughts; our words be few: A sacred rev'rence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues. HYMN 48. First Part. L. M. Thy kingdom come.

1

ASCEND thy throne, almighty King,

And spread thy glories all abroad;

Let thine own arm salvation bring,
And be thou known the gracious God.
2 Let millions bow before thy seat,
Let humble mourners seek thy face;
Bring daring rebels to thy feet,
Subdued by thy victorious grace.
3 O! let the kingdoms of the world
Become the kingdoms of the Lord;
Let saints and angels praise thy name,
Be thou thro' heav'n and earth ador'd.
HYMN 48. Second Part. L. M.
Prayer for the spread of the gospel.

1 BRIGHT as the sun's meridian blaze,
Vast as the blessings he conveys,
Wide as he shines from pole to pole,
And permanent as his control :

2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come;
Let sin and hell's terrific gloom
Swift, at thy brightness, flee away,
And usher in the promis'd day.

3 Then shall the heathen, fill'd with awe,
Learn the blest knowledge of thy law :
And Antichrist, on ev'ry shore,

Fall from his throne to rise no more.
4 Then shall thy lofty praise resound
On Afric's shores-thro' Asia's ground;
And Europe with America

Shall stretch their eager arms to thee. 5 Then shall the Jew and Gentile meet In pure devotion at thy feet:

1

And earth shall yield thee, as thy due,
Her fulness and her glory too.

HYMN 48. Third Part. L. M.
Prayer for the Jews.

FATHER of faithful Abra'm, hear

Our earnest suit for Abra'm's seed;
Justly they claim the tend'rest prayer
From us, adopted in their stead :
2 Outcasts from thee, and scatter'd wide
Thro' ev'ry nation under heav'n,
Blaspheming whom they crucified,
Unsav'd, unpitied, unforgiv❜n.

3 But hast thou finally forsook,

Forever cast thine own away ?

Wilt thou not bid the murd❜rers look
On him they pierc'd, and weep and pray?
4 Come then, thou great Deliv’rer, come;
The veil from Jacob's heart remove,
O! bring thine ancient people home,
And let them know thy dying love!

HYMN 48. Fourth Part. L. M.
Millennium.

1 LOOK up, ye saints, with sweet surprise, Toward the joyful, coming day,

When Jesus shall descend the skies, And form a bright, and dazzling ray. 2 Nations shall in a day be born,

And swift, like doves, to Jesus fly;
The church shall know no clouds return,
Nor sorrows mixing with their joy.
3 The lion and the lamb shall feed
Together in his peaceful reign;
And Zion, blest with heav'nly bread,
Of pinching wants no more complain.
4 The Jew, the Greek, the bond, the free,
Shall boast their sep'rate rights no more;
But join in sweetest harmony,

Their Lord, their Saviour to adore.
5 Thus, till a thousand years be past,
Shall holiness and peace prevail;
And ev'ry knee shall bow to Christ,
And ev'ry tongue shall Jesus hail.
Then the redeem'd shall mount on high,
Where their deliv'ring Prince is gone;
And angels at his word shall fly,
To bless them with the conq'ror's crown.

HYMN 49. First Part. L. M.

Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

HOU reign'st, O Lord, thy throne is high;

TH

Thy robes are light and majesty;

Thy pow'r is sov'reign to fulfil

The holy counsels of thy will.

2 Thy will be done on earth below
As 'tis in heav'n; thy grace bestow
On us and all; may we and they
Renounce our wills, and thine obey.
3 While all the hosts of heav'n rejoice
To yield obedience to thy voice;
