2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,

Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.

3 Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.

4 Thus, till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing.

"Serve the Lord with Fear, and Rejoice with Trembling.” 1 ETERNAL POWER! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God! Exalted far above the bounds

Where stars revolve their little rounds.

2 Thy throne is in the dazzling blaze
Where angels tremble as they gaze;
And through the heaven, thy praise is sung
By the rapt seraph's burning tongue.

3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?
We would adore our Maker too;

Lo! from the dust to thee we cry,
The Great, the Holy, and the High.

4 Earth from afar hath heard thy fame,
And children learned to lisp thy name;
But the full glories of thy mind

Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.

"Hallowed be Thy name."

1 HOLY and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;

Thrice holy Lord, the angels cry;
Thrice holy, let us sing.

2 The deepest reverence of the mind
Pay, O my soul, to God;

Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.

3 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.

4 Thou holy God! preserve my soul
From all pollution free;

The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.

The Holiness of God. Ps. 99.

1 EXALT the Lord our God,
And worship at his feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is his seat.

2 When Israel was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,

When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed, He gave his people rest.

3 Oft he forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft he made his vengeance known,
When they abused his grace.

4 Exalt the Lord our God,
Whose grace is still the same:
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.

1 HALLELUJAH! Raise, O raise
To our God the song of praise:
All his servants, join to sing,
God, our Saviour and our King.

2 Blessed be for evermore

That dread name which we adore!
Round the world his praise be sung,
Through all lands, in every tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,-
Higher than the heavens his throne,-
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty ?

4 Yet to view the heavens he bends:
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Raising up the poor to stand
With the princes of the land.

5 He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of his ways!
Praise his name,-for ever praise.

The Delights of Worship. Ps. 84.

1 My soul, how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
"Tis heaven to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.

2 There the great Monarch of the skies His saving power displays,

And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quickening rays.

3 There, mighty God, thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.

4 My heart and flesh cry out for thee,
While far from thine abode :

When shall I tread thy courts, and see
My Saviour and my God?

Song of Adoration.

1 HOLY, holy, holy Lord!
Be thy glorious name adored;
Lord, thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial Goodness, hail!

2 Though unworthy, Lord! thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.

3 There no tongue shall silent be; All shall join in harmony;

And through heaven's all-spacious round
Praise to thee shall ever sound.

4 Lord! thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Be thy glorious name adored.

Cheerful Praise. 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 aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

3 He, with all-commanding might, Filled the new-made world with light, For his mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

4 He his chosen race did bless,
In the wasteful wilderness;
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

5 All things living he doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need;
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
