Who bought us with his blood,
Who saves from endless woe:

And now on high he lives and reigns,
And sees the fruits of all his pains.

To God the Holy Ghost
Immortal honours give,
Whose new-creating power
Can make the dead to live:
His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

Immortal praise to thee,

O Father, Spirit, Son,

The undivided Three,

The great mysterious One:

Where reason fails, with all her powers,
There faith prevails, and love adores.

To him that chose us first,
Before the world began,-
To him who bore the curse
To save rebellious man;

To him that forms our hearts anew,
Are endless praise and glory due.

2 Let ev'ry saint above,

3

And angels round the throne,
For ever bless and love

The sacred Three in One:

The heavens shall raise his honours high;

Him all shall praise eternally.

To God the Father, Son,

And Spirit ever blest,
Eternal Three in One,
All honour be addrest:

Let ceaseless praise to God be given,
By all in earth, and all in heav'n.

O Holy Three!-Let there be Light.

THOU, whose Almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight!
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the gospel-day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
"Let there be light."

Thou who didst come to bring,
On thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight;
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O! now to all mankind
"Let there be light."

Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,

Speed forth thy flight;
Move on the waters' face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
"Let there be light."

Blessed and Holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,

Wisdom, Love, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide,

Rolling in fullest pride,

Thro' the world far and wide

"Let there be light."

Praise to the Holy Trinity.

10 HOLY, holy, holy Lord,

Bright in thy deeds and in thy name,
For ever be thy name ador'd,
Thy glories let the world proclaim !
2 O Jesus, Lamb, once crucified
To take our load of sins away,
Thine be the hymn that rolls its tide
Along the realms of upper day!
3 O Holy Spirit from above,

In streams of light and glory given, Thou source of ecstacy and love, Thy praises sing thro' earth and heaven! 4 O God Triune, to thee we owe Our ev'ry thought, our ev'ry song; And ever may thy praises flow

From saint and seraph's burning tongue! 115

Prayer to the Eternal Trinity.

1 FATHER of heav'n whose love profound,
A ransom for our souls hath found;
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pardoning love extend.
2 Almighty Son! Incarnate Word!
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death;
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quick'ning pow'r extend.

4 Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son,-
Mysterious Godhead! Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life to all extend.

116 C. M.

God incomprehensible.

10 SELF-EXISTENT One in Three,
Jehovah, God alone

In glory wrapt, invisible,
By revelation known!

2 Incomprehensible thou art,
And all research is vain;
Nor even can the wise in heart
The mystery explain.

3 Yet does the holy word declare,
That we may learn thy name;
That they who worship thee in truth,
Thy praises shall proclaim.

4 Then teach us, Lord, thy name of love,
By revelation known;
Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord,
Jehovah, God alone.

117 8.8.6.

Praise to the Trinity.

1 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One. In earth and heaven ador'd:

Our hearts, and hands, and voice we raise, With humble prayer, and grateful praise, And own our Sov'reign Lord.

2 Father, Redeemer, heav'nly Guide!
May we by faith in thee abide,
And bless thy constant love;
Till we in heav'n thy glory see,
And praise thee thro' eternity,
With angel-hosts above.

FIFTH OF NOVEMBER,

IS OBSERVED AS A DAY OF NATIONAL THANKSGIVING FOR THE PROVIDENTIAL DELIVERANCE OF KING JAMES I. AND THE TWO HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT, FROM THE INTENDED MASSACRE BY GUNPOWDER: AND ALSO, FOR THE HAPPY ARRIVAL OF HIS MAJESTY KING WILLIAM III., ON THIS DAY, TO DELIVER OUR CHURCH AND NATION FROM POPISH PLOTS AND TYRANNY.

(Appropriate Psalms.)

[7. 11 Version i. 12. 18 Part i. 64. 124. 125.]

God's deliverance of our Country.

1 WHILE Britain, favour'd of the skies, Recals the wonders God hath wrought, Let grateful joy adoring rise,

And warm to rapture ev'ry thought.

2 When wicked men combin'd their power, And doom'd these isles their certain prey; Thy hand forbad the fatal hour;

Their evil plots in ruin lay.
