PSALM CXLVIII.
1. YE boundless realms of joy,
Exalt your Maker's name;
In praise your songs employ
Above the starry frame:
Your voices raise, Ye cherubim,
And seraphim, To sing His praise.
2. Thou moon that rul'st the night,
And sun that guid'st the day;
Ye glitt'ring stars of light,
To Him your homage pay:
His praise declare, Ye heavens above,
And clouds that move, In liquid air.
3. Let them adore the Lord,
And praise His holy name,
By whose almighty word
They all from nothing came:
For all shall last, From changes free
His firm decree Stands ever fast.

PSALM LXXXIV.
1. LORD of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples are!
To Thine abode My heart aspires,
With warm desires, To see my God.
2. O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; And happy they
That love the way To Zion's hill !
3. They go from strength to strength
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
And each in heav'n appears;
O glorious seat! The Lord, our King,
Shall thither bring Our willing feet.
1. Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heav'n, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesus! Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter ev'ry longing heart.
2. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promis'd rest;
Take away the love of sinning.
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3. Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive! Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thine hosts above; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love.
4. Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted, may we be:
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by Thee!
Chang'd from glory into glory,
Till in heav'n we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
WESLEY.
1. GLORY be to God on high,
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth, and man forgiven,
Man, the well-beloved of heaven.
2. Sovereign Father, heavenly King,
Thee with love and awe we sing;
Glad thine honours to confess,
Glorious all and numberless.
3. Hail, by all Thy works adored !
Hail, the everlasting Lord!
Thee, with thankful hearts we prove,
Lord of power and God of love.
4. Holy Spirit, Thee we own;
Thee, O Christ, the only Son;
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.
5. Praise the name of God most High;
Praise Him all below the sky;
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
1. LORD, if Thou Thy grace impart,
Poor in spirit, meek in heart,
Like the Saviour we shall be,
Cloth'd with his humility.
2. Simple, teachable, and mild;
Humble as a little child;
Pleas'd with what the Lord provides;
Wean'd from all the world besides.
3. Father, fix our souls on Thee;
Ev'ry evil let us flee;
Always happy in Thy love;
Looking for our rest above.
