5 Who doth preserve our life and health,

Our ease and safe abode ?

They, adoring on their faces,
With thrice" Holy" sing his praises,
We too will extol the name
Of our God, and of the Lamb;
Be his glory ever sounded,

And his works which are unbounded!
We his ransom'd congregation
Thank and praise him, for our blessed
destination.

3 To the throne go undismayed,

Go with boldness, and approach the mercy-seat,

Since from God in Christ displayed, Nought but goodness, grace and favor you can meet;

Full of love, he longs to bless us,
Yea, to give his flesh and blood
And is ready to embrace us;
To us, as our highest good;
To his table we're invited,
And thro' grace with him united,
So that nought which may await us
Can from Jesus, and his love e'er sepa-

rate us.

4 He hath now his Godhead's treasure To the needy open'd, and hath stores enough,

Therefore 'tis his sov'reign pleasure, That no sinner, that not one should stand aloof;

Each may take, as were he named,
Grace for grace, nor stand ashamed,
Hungry souls who but believe,
Of his fulness may receive;
And this fulness never ceaseth,
Our enjoyment still increaseth;
Hence we drink, in richest measure,
From life's fountain, draughts of inex
hausted pleasure.

6 The mighty seraphs join, -And in thy praise combine; All their choirs thy glories sing,

Who shall dare with thee to vie, Mighty Lord, eternal King,

Sov'reign both of earth and sky!

7 The church thro' all her bounds With thy high praise resounds: The confessors fearless here Boldly praise their heav'nly King; Children's feebler voices there

To thy name hosannas sing.

8 'Midst danger's blackest frown, Thee hosts of martyrs own: Pain and shame alike they dare, Firmly trusting in their God; Glorying thy cross to bear, Sealing thus their faith with blood. 9 Arise, exert thy pow'r Thou glorious Conqueror! Help us to obtain the prize, Help us well to close our race; That with thee, above the skies, Endless joys we may possess. 560.*

T. 101.

THANKSGIVING, honor, praise

and might, Unto the slaughter'd Lamb be render'd, Who brought us to his kingdom's light, And bought us from all tongues and

kindred;

561.* *

T. 146. Now let us praise the Lord With body, soul and spirit, Who doth such wondrous things Beyond our sense and merit; Who from our mother's womb And earliest infancy Hath done great things for us, Praise him eternally!

2 O gracious God, bestow On us while here remaining, An ever-cheerful mind,

Thy peace be ever reigning: Preserve us in true faith

And christian holiness: That when we go from hence We may behold thy face.

ALMIGHTY Lord! :||:

Eternal Word,
Creation's Head,

By whom : the worlds were made,
Which in heav'n's spacious sphere :||:
Appear;
Who by thy blood
Brought'st us to God:
Thee we confess :||:

The Lord our Righteousness. :||:
2 Sure as thou liv'st, :||:
To all things giv'st
Both life and pow'r,
Supporting :||: them each hour;
Jehovah, great I AM, :||:
And Lamb:

So sure's thy blood
The highest Good
Of sinners poor; :||:
Till death shall be no more. :||:

*Heb. i. 2.

THE Lamb was slain! let us adore. With grateful hearts his mercy own, May all within us evermore

In silence at his feet fall down; Serve without dread, with rev'rence love

565. T. 159.

ADORED be the Lamb of God,
That he upon the cross

To God, by his most precious blood,
Hath reconciled us.

All praise be given to him, that we
Were born the day of grace to see,
When he his love to us reveal'd,
And thus our pardon seal'd.
2 To be his priests and witnesses
Is now our happy lot,
To sing in songs of endless praise
To Jesus who us bought,
We
now, like Mary, wish to sit
In spirit list'ning at his feet,

For Jesus' marriage-feast.

3 Meanwhile his promises we trust, And join our grateful lays, In concert with the ransom'd host,

To sing redeeming grace. While they who round his throneappear The wonders of his love declare, And sing, "The Lamb for us was slain"; Our hearts reply, Amen!

The name all victorious of Jesus extol,

We thy little flock adore Evermore show us thy love, Thee, our Lord, for evermore !

Till we join the choirs above!

569. T. 22.

2 God ruleth in heaven, almighty to

save,

And yet he is with us, his presence we have;

The great congregation his triumphs shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 3 Salvation be brought unto God on the throne,

Let all sing rejoicing, and honor the Son;

His favours claim thy highest praise; How can the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence, and forgot?

2 'Twas he, my soul, that sent his Son

done;

To die for crimes which thou hast
The hourly follies of our lives.
He paid the ransom, and forgives

Fall down on their faces, and worship

the Lamb.

4 Then let us adore him and give him his right,

All glory, and power, and wisdom, and might,

And honor, and blessing, with angels above,

And thanks never ceasing for infinite love.

568. T. 11. BRETHREN, let us join to bless Jesus Christ, our joy and peace; Let our praise to him be giv❜n, Who is Lord of earth and heav'n. 2 Jesus, lo! to thee we bow, Thou art Lord, and only Thou ; Thou the woman's promis'd Seed, Glory of thy church, and Head.

3 Thee the angels ceaseless sing,
Thee we praise, our Priest and King ;
Worthy is thy name of praise,
Full of glory, full of grace.

Let all mankind adore his grace;
Let us with all our powers sing
Praise to our Saviour, God and King.
