And if such footsteps of thy love, Just as before yon noon-tide sun GR HYMN LXII. L. M. REATEST of Beings! Source of Life! Wak'd at thy call, the morning sun The moon, to the deep shades of night, And groves and vales, and rocks and hills, But man was form'd to rise to heaven; And, blest with reason's clearer light, Should view his Maker thro' his works, And glow with rapture at the sight: Subject to wants, to thee should look, And from thy goodness seek supplies: And when oppress'd with guilt should mourn, That grace may lift him to the skies. HYMN LXIII. L. M. YTOW cheerful along the gay mead, The daisy and cowslip appear! H The flocks, as they carelessly feed, The myrtles that shade the gay bowers, All rise to the praise of my God. Shall Man, the great master of all, Forbid it, Devotion and Love! The Lord, who such wonders could raise, HYMN LXIV. L. M. HILE Nature's voice is lifted high To praise the Maker of the sky; And creatures all unite to sing The glories of their sovereign King. Our grateful hearts, O Lord, would raise And with our thankful tongues declare, On Thee our lives and souls depend, Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care. O may we now be taught thy grace, Thus shall some happy fruits appear, And thus, O Lord, our hearts will raise, When praise shall all our powers employ In an eternal world of joy. HYMN LXV. L. M. ETER TERNAL God! Almighty Cause, Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown! Thy glorious Being singly stands, To Thee, the One Supreme, we bow; Reject their claims, renounce their sway. Spread thy great Name thro' every land; Subdue the world to thy command, H HYMN LXVI. C. M. AIL, Father, whose creating call, Jehovah, comprehending all Present alike in ev'ry place, Thy Godhead we adore, Beyond the bounds of time and space, Thou dwell'st for evermore. Not quite display'd to worlds above, Supreme and self-sufficient God, Thy name, Jehovah, be ador'd HYMN LXVII. P. M. HE Lord Jehovah reigns, TH The garments he assumes, Are light and majesty: His glories shine with beams so bright, No mortal eye can bear the sight. The Thunders of his hand, Keep the wide world in awe; His wrath and justice stand, To guard his holy Law; And where his love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace. |
