IV PREFACE.

promising to restore to the Church the almost lost religious aid of song. It is to bo regretted that some, in their zeal for Congregational Singing, have supposed it necessary to set their faces against choirs, and have even gone so far as to reject the services of such associations. The fact that choirs have, in a great degree, failed to present a method of song truly religious in its influence, is not to be attributed wholly to them; but probably quite as much to those clergymen and people who have mistaken a mere musical excitement for the " quickening and raising up of the affections to God."

That it is unsafe to depend exclusively upon choirs, is abundantly proved in the history of the Church. The great danger of such a dependence is, that the whole service will degenerate into a mere attempt at musical display. Nor is it safe to trust to the Congregational method alone, for without con- stant care, tne singing will then be very liable to fall into neglect, and become uninteresting, in- effective, and even wearisome. Let the two methods exist together, strengthening one another, Congregational Singing can not be dispensed with by those who seek for the religious influence of Church Song ; and choirs may do much to promote the true service of Psalmody, by their guidance and encouragement of universal song. Whenever it is practicable, then, let the people who are de- sirous of Congregational Singing avail themselves of the advantages to be derived from such choirs as formed from among themselves, and disposed to exert a religious influence in the singing exercises, will enlist the sympathy and cooperation of all the people.

But that the present efforts for Congregational Singing, or that any efforts for the improvement of the Service of Song be in any satisfactory degree successful, we regard it as essential that both methods be practically understood — at least by those who guide this service — since any attempt to build up the one on the basis of the other must, necessarily, in a great degree fail. Those who seek for Con- gregational Singing on the principles of Choir Singing, will probably soon give it up as impracticable, and return again to the Choir Singing as the only available method.

The Congregational is nature's method of praise. It is in a great degree independent of art culture, being indeed above art. It is adapted alike to the voices of the young and the old, of the uncultivated and of the cultivated. It engages all in the simultaneous exercise of the same emotions, furnishes something for every one to do, admits of no listeners, and thus excludes that bane of all true wor- ship, criticism. As individual voices are lost in the chorus of the many, one is naturally led to feel hid own insignificance. That essential feature of Chorus Singing, the blending of voices, by which the impurity of individual tones is neutralized, and dissonance harmonized, and in which consists in a great degree its strength and its beauty, is obtained almost without effort when many voices, (even fifty or a hundred,) join in one melody. It is adapted to awaken within us ideas of greatness. It belongs to the sublime in tone; the sublime in nature rather than in art. It may be compared to the mouutains, which owe their majesty, not to their fertile soil, nor to any elaboration of architectural skill, but to that Power which commanded the light to shine out of darkness, and brought up from the depths the rough and diversified materials in which consists the "strength of the hills'' The mountains are not more necessary to fit the earth to be the habitation of man than is this great method of song to the highest development of that religious life which is perfected through Psalmody.

Choir Singing is the method of art ; and although for the common purposes of Church Song no very high degree of artistic attainment is required, yet, that Choir Singing which is worthy of the nam y, must be the result of the proper training of a suitable number of persons who have a more than* ordinary por- tion of intuitive musical ability. It belongs to the beautiful. It depends upon flowing melody, with measure symmetrical, in such soft, elegant, and delicate style as to awaken delight. It may bo re- garded as one of Zion's "beautiful garments," so that in the proper union of the two methods, it may be said of the Service of Song, "strength and beauty are in the sanctuary."

That we may, if possible, throw still further light upon a subject which we consider of vital im- portance to the success of Church Song, we will mention somo conditions which are indispensable to Choir Singing, but not to Congregational Singing.

1. It is not indispensable, though it is desirable, in order to qualify one to take a part in Congrega- tional Singing, that one should be able to read written music. Let properly conducted singing schools bo maintained, and let all be encouragod to attend them; and especially let all children receive, while they are yet young, appropriate vocal training, and be practically taught the elements both of nm-ie and D itation. And let all be encouraged, whether they have learned any thing of singing or not, to join vocally in the Psalmody as a religious exercise, regarding it as their duty aud privilege.

2. Purity of tone is not indispensable, though it is desirable, to qualify one to unite in Congrega- tion d Singing. Although one's tone maybe of a nasal or guttural quality, he is not to be denied the privilege of singing his Maker's praises in the congregation of tho people. Yet it may often be the

churches by Ambrose, in tho fourth century. Choir singing probably had it-? origin in anti- phonal singing, and hence come Anthems. This form was retained by the English church at the timo of the Reformation, though generally rejected elsewhere. In its primitive use it was exclu- sively by choirs, yet iu a simple form it is quite practicable in Congregational Singing, and may be mi le a feature of much interest and usefulness.

The Metrical Tu.ve is tint form which, although known to a limit id extent in earlier times, came into general use in public worship, at tho time of the Reformation, an 1 has ever since been retained in the Protestant, and in a portion of the Romish church. It was the musical form of tho restored method of song, in which the people were the actors, and consisted in a simple melody, which, being within tho compass of all voices, was sung in unison by the congregation. Iu the German and other churches on tho continent of Europe, the original character of Congregational Tunes and of Congre- gational Singing still continues, and almost universally prevails to this day. But in England tho influence of choirs soon led to the introduction of the ditferent vocal parts, which, although at first not intended for the people, were gradually introduced into Congregational Singing, though seldom, if ever, in such proportion as to produce any thing like symmetrical harmony.

The Sabbath IIyjin and Tuxb Book is designed as a Manual for C mgregatioual Singing. In re- gard to the principles which have guided its editors in the selection of hymns, the reader is referred to the Preface to The Sabbath IIvmx B>ok. In setting the hymns to music, we have valued musical art, only so far as it might be made to contribute to the religious purpose in view. Music is em- ployed as a means and not as an end. Our constant object has therefore been to provide for tho best rdnjious expression of the words.

The aim has been to secure tunes of not merely negative, but of positive merit — tunes possessing such salient points as are at once marked and relevant, with such agreeableness of melody, and individ- uality of character as shall cause them to be apprehended, quickly learned, easily sang, always remem- bered. Tunes free from all such difficulties as would render them impracticable to the musically un- learned, and possessing such peculiar excellences as will render them attractive to all. Nor has it been forgotten that the tunes, generally, are to be sung not only in the larger assembly of public worship (to which some of them more properly belong), but also in social worship, where, olten without much musical ability, Christians pray to God, and ''admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs."

It is evident that in preparing a book like the present the most obvious musical material is* to be found in the well-known tanes which are commonly used. It was an important object to secure as complete a collection of these as possible. A circular letter of inquiry was therefore addressed to clergymen and those having charge of church music in various parts of the country. Lists of tunes actually in use were thus obtaine 1, all of which were carefully compared and collated, and from them an index was' formed, showing what tunes are most used, and what is the degree of their popularity. This index has been employe I as a guide in selecting tunes. As many of these tunes are copyright property, it may lie well to add that the editors have been able to insert every tune which they desired, a privi- lega not olten enjoyed by the compilers of similar works. Yet notwithstanding all our care and facilities it is quite probable that some persons will miss in this collection tunes which are to them favorites. There are tunes which have become popular in certain localities, but which are not so gen- erally known or of such intrinsic merit, as ta cl.ti n a place in a collection like this. In the nature of things it is probable that hardly any man will find in any such book, every tune which he would be glad to have inserted.

We have, of course, felt obliged sometimes to sacrifice our own taste to what has appeared to be a public demand, and to admit tunes which we rega-d as having structural defects as tunes for Congre- gational Singing.

The rejietilion of well-known and most useful tunes is a new feature in this book. There are a few tunes which are very widely known and constantly used. If one of these be presented in but one place, it can bo in connection with but few hymns, and therefore will not bo frequently sung. Such tunes are repeated in this volume, some of them several times, and each.of them is therefore in connection with a large number of hymns.

The Sabbath Hymn and Tun*e Book contains many New Tanes, or such, bo they old or new, as are net generally known iu our churches. Theso aro needed not merely for the sake of variety, though tin-' might lie a sufficient reason for their introduction. There are hymns of new meters which m ist be suppli 1 1 with Innes; and there are in some hymus of the more usual meters, pecu-

or that any one tune is always to be sung in exactly the samo time ; there will naturally be a slight vari- ation, depending upon the hymn, and the circumstances of the occasion. We deem it important, how- over, to remark that there should never be any apparent cha.ige of time, daring the singing of a hymn ; but one movement should be preserved throughout all the stanzas, however they may appear to differ.

A second rhythmic form, one which has become vory popular within the last twenty -five or thirty years, consists of tones mostly of two lengths, as before, but in alternate groups of two. The tunos Hebron, Denfield, Downs, Boylston, afford specimens of this rhythm. A pendulum of from thirty to forty inches will give the time for the shorter tone3 in these tunes. It is mast important in this class of tunes, that every approach to staccato in the short tones be carefully avoided ; on the contrarv, they should usually be sung quite legato, and sustained to their full length. On the other hand, the longer tones must not be too long. Indeed there may be a little accommodation between the two, so that the shorter tones may be, as it were, a little longer, and the longer tones a little shorter, than the exact time indicated by the notes, but this must be done without breaking up a proper distinction be- tween the two, or disturbing the general choriambic character.

A third rhythmic form consists of tones of two lengths as before, but mostly in groups of four. The tunes Uxbridge and Olden illustrate this form. A pendulum of from thirty to thirty-six inches will give the time. The remark in respect to the accommodation between the tones of different lengths applies also to this rhythm.

A fourth class includes tunes in which the longer and shorter tones regularly alternate ; Ortonvillc, Ray, Rayford, Anley, and many other Tunes belong to this class. A pendulum from sixteen to twenty-four inches will give the time of quarter notes in these tunes. A somewhat modified form of this general rhythmic structure may be seen in the tunes Becker, Albon, Ware, Albec, and others These tunes, on account of the prevalence of the shorter tones, require a somewhat slower movement, as indicated by a pendulum of from twenty to twenty-six inches. Again, another modification of the form may be found in such tunes as Bethany and (xlyn, which, because of the prevalence of the longer tones, require a somewhat quicker movement, as of a pendulum of ten or twelve inches in length.

Each of the foregoing classes, with slight exceptions, is adapted to a syllabic utterance, or the sink- ing of a single tone to each syllable. The last is, perhaps, somewhat less adapted to Congregational Singing.

A fifth rhythmic form includes tunes in equal (double or quadruple) measure, embracing a greater variety in the length of tones, brought together with less regard to the symmetrical relation of length, and containing syncopes, suspensions, etc. See Duke Street, Federal Street, Lanesboro', Ernan, Ham- burg, Lyte, Ward, Dedham, Medfield.

Tunes in unequal (triple or sextuple) measure, but in other respects similar to class five, may be brought together as the last rhythmic class which we need to present. Illustrative of this class, are Howard, St. Martins, Rothwell, Abridge, Mendon, All Saints, Thatcher. A pendulum of from twenty-five to thirty inches will indicate the time of the quarter notes in the last two varieties.

There may be a few tunes which can hardly be assigned to either of the above classes, but in re- gard to all, whatever may be the movemsnt, sufficient time must always be taken to speak the words with propriety ; for nothing merely musical can justify a movement, be it quick or slow, which shall interfere with an appropriate delivery of the words.

The Adaptation of Tunes to Hymns is a department of our labor upon which most careful consider- ation has been bestowed, in the belief that it is of great importance to the usefulness of religious song. This has, indeed, been by far the most difficult department of labor in the preparation of this volume. A good hymn may be sung to a good tune, and the two together form an unsatisfactory whole. One may prove a detriment rather than an assistance to the other. The mere metrical fitness of one for the other, though necessary, is a simple, and the very lowest consideration. The music must be suitable to express the emotion which the words describe or imply. A first question then is, what is the emotional condition which the hymn supposes ? A second question is, what strains will best assist the expression of this emotion ? Is tho liymn one of worship, or is it merely didactic, hortatory, or descriptive ? Does it imply direct or immediate homage, or only that which is indirect or mediate ? These questions have been minutely considered at every step.

Our experience has led us to reject all such aids to musical expression as the marginal marks found in some books of psalmody. We are satisfied of the injurious effects of such notation. It encourages, almost necessitates, a dramatic spirit in singing, which is wholly at variance with the spirit of worship.

X PREFACE.

It is desirable that thoso who can do so should sing heartily, with open mouth and full voice, and not in the smothered, uncertain manner, which is too common, and affords poor encouragement and assistance to others.

The advantage of occasional meetings for singing need hardly be alluded to. We have reference now, not to tho usual singing school, the object of which is to teach those who attend to read music, though it is most desriable that such should be encouraged, but to gatherings of all the people for tho purpose of learning the tunes chiefly by rote. Those should not degenerate into mere singing, but should be relig cms meetings. Let the hymns lie sung through, and this with meaning. Success in Congregational Singing can not be expected without effort. There must bo a willingness on the part of tho people to make and p ^severe in this effort.

Finally, eaeli one should make tho song his own, assuming the words as real expressions of the in- ward sense of his own soul. Even although they may not always be strictly applicable to one's circumstances, yet sympathizing with others, we should surely in this universal and delightful Song Service, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. An esteemed writer. already quoted, in speaking of the old tunes, says: "If wc would have these old tunes to perfec- tion, we must attain more of tho old fashioned piety with which they were formerly sung." If music be substituted for religion, and singing for devotion, the best tune and the best voices will neither increase religion, nor aid devotion. Unless Congregational Singing rest upon a religious foun- dation, it will be like tho house built upon th? sand. Unless it be conducted as a religious duty and privilege, it will fail to secure its legitimate ends. But where it is attempted and pursued in a right spirit and with proper efforts, there is no danger from the want of artistic culture.

" We now offer ' The Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book' to the churches, invoking tho blessing of the Great Head of the Church upon our labors, that they may meet the wants of devout worshipers, and especially that they may be found conducive to the spirituality of 'The Service of Song in the House of the Lord.'

jl» oM Version of the Eiahty -fourth Psalm

1 How lovely are thy dwellings fair,

O Lord of hosts ! how dear The pleasant tabernacles are, Where thou dost dwell so near i

2 My soul doth long and, fainting, sigh

Thy courts, O Lord, to sec ; My heart and flesh, aloud do cry, O living God, for thee !

.3 Happy, who in thy house reside, Where thee they ever praise ; Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy ways.

4 They journey on from strength to strength

With joy and gladsome cheer, Till all before our God at length In Zion do appear.

5 For God the Lord, both sun and shield,

Gives grace and glory bright ; No good from them shall be withheld, Whose ways are just and right.

6 Lord God of hosts, who reign'st on high !

That man is truly blest Who doth on thee alone rely, In thee alone doth rest.

'•Who, in the heaven, can be compared unto the Lord."— Psalm 89.

132

1 With reverence let the saints appear,

And bow before the Lord ; His high commands with reverence hear, And tremble at his word.

2 Great -God! how high, thy glories rise !

How bright thine armies shine ! Where is the power with thee that vies, Or truth compared to thine !

3 The northern pole, and southern, rest

On thy supporting hand ; Darkness and day, from east to west, Move round at thy command.

Thy words the raging winds control, And rule the boisterous deep ;

Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep.

5 Heaven, earth, and air, and sea are thine, And the dark world of hell ; How did thine arm in vengeance shine, When Egypt durst rebel ! G Justice and judgment are thy throne, Yet wondrous is thy grace ; While truth and mercy joined in one, Invite us near thv face.

196.

"In this will I be confident." — Psalm 4G.

1 God is our refuge and our strength,

When trouble's hour is near : A veiy present help is he ; Therefore we will not fear.

2 Athough the pillars of the earth

Shall clean removed be, The very mountains carried forth, And cast into the sea ; *

3 Although the waters rage and swell,

So that the earth shall shake : Yea, and the solid mountain roots Shall with the tempest quake ; —

4 There is a river that makes glad

The city of our God, — The tabernacle's holy place Of the Most High's abode.

5 The Lord is in the midst of her;

Removed she shall not be, Because the Lord our God himself Shall help us speedily. t> The Lord our strength and refuge is, When trouble's hour is near : A very present help is he ; Therefore we will not fear.

1" Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through A. . Tliy wo;*."— Psalm 92.

1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night.

2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest ;

No mortal cares shall seize my breast : Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound !

3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word ; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine ! How deep thy counsels, how divine !

4 Fools never raise their thoughts so high , Like brutes they live, like brutes they die ; Like grass they flourish, till thy breath Blast them in everlasting death.

5 But I shall share a glorious part, When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head.

6 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below ;

And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

| ^. "I heard the voice of a great multitude.''

1 Millions within thy courts have met, Millions, this day, before thee bowed ; Their faces Zion-ward were set, Vows with their lips to thee they vowed.

2 Soon as the light of morning broke O'er island, continent, or deep, Thy far-spread family awoke, Sabbath, all round the world, to keep.

3 From east to west, the sun surveyed, From north to south, adoring throngs; And still, when evening stretched her

shade, The stars came out to hear their songs.

4 Not angel-trumpets sound more clear ; Not elders' harps, nor seraphs' lays, Yield sweeter music to thine ear. Than humble prayer and thankful praise.

5 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath failed this day some suit to gain ; To those in trouble, thou wert nigh : Not one hath sought thy face in vain.

6 Yet one prayer more ! — and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord: Fulfill thy promise to thy Son ;

Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord !

1 Sweet is the work, O Lord,

Thy glorious acts to sing, To praise thy name, and hear thy word, And grateful offerings bring.

2 Sweet, at the dawning light,

Thy boundless love to tell ; And when approach the shades of night, Still on the theme to dwell.

To join in heart and voice With those who love and serve thee host, And in thy name rejoice.

Unvails the beauties of his face,

And sheds his love abroad !

2 Here, on the mercy-seat,

With radiant glory crowned, Our joyful eyes behold him sit, And smile on all around.

3 To him our prayers and cries

Our humble souls present ;

He listens to our broken sighs,

And grants us every want.

4 Give me, O Lord, a place

Within thy blest abode, Among the children of thy grace, The servants of my God.

ZJ- Q Clirist the Day-star.

1 We lift our hearts to thee,

Thou Day-star from on high : The sun itself is but thy shade, Yet cheers both earth and sky.

2 Oh, let thy rising beams

Dispel the shades of night; And let the glories of thy love, Come like the morning light !

3 How beauteous nature now !

How dark and sad before! — With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature's God adore.

4 May we this life improve,

To mourn for errors past ; And live this short, revolving day As if it were our last.

£) £) # " Welcome, sioeet day of rest."

1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,

That saw the Lord arise ! Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes !

2 The King himself comes near,

And feasts his saints to day ; Here may we sit, and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray.

3 One day, amid the place

Where my dear Lord hath been, Is sweeter than ten thousand days Within the tents of sin.

4 My willing soul would stay

In such a frame as this, And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.

'■ HWcowe, delightful morn."

1 Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest ! I hail thy kind return ; —

Lord, make these moments blest :

From the low train Of mortal toys,

I soar to reach Immortal joys.

2 Now may the King descend And fill his throne of grace ; Thy scepter, Lord, extend,

While saints address thy face :

Let sinners feel

Thy quickening word,

And learn to know And fear the Lord.

3 Descend, celestial Dove,

With all thy quickening powers ; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless the sacred hours :

Then shall my soul Xew life obtain,

Nor Sabbaths be Enjoyed in vai:i.

58

" The day that God hath blessed."'

1 Awake, ye saints, awake !

And hail this sacred day ; In loftiest songs of praise

Your joyful homage pay : Come bless the day that God hath blest, The type of heaven's eternal rest.

2 On this auspicious morn

The Lord of life arose; lie burst the bars of death, And vanquished' all our foes ; And now he pleads our cause above, And reaps the fruit of all his love.

3 All hail, triumphant Lord !

Heaven with hosannas rings,

And earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings : Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain, Thro' endless years to live and reign.

1 14

-L J- ^E. " Praise the Lord from the earth.''

1 xIngels, assist to sing

The honors of your God ; Touch every tuneful string,

And sound his name abroad : Come, pour the trembling notes along, And swell the grand, immortal song.

2 And ye of meaner birth,

Your joyful voices raise ; All ye who dwell on earth,

Your great Creator praise ; Let loud hosannas joyful rise, Roll round the earth and pierce the skies.

3 Let day and dusky nightf

In solemn order, join His praises to recite,

And speak his power divine : Let every hill, and every vale, Re-echo with the sacred talc.

4 Ye winds and raging seas,

With wild tempestuous roar Resound, in mightier lays.

His name from shore to shore : Ye thunders, spread his name abroad ; Ye lightnings, flash before your God.

5 Let every creature sing

The honors of our God ; Touch every tuneful string, And spread his praise abroad : Come, pour your trembling notes aloi g, And swell the universal song.

4 Oh, come, behold the works of God !

And then with me you '11 own That he to all the sons of men Hath wondrous judgments shown.

^ I . "-Peace be within thee." — Psalm 122.

1 How did my heart rejoice to hear

My friends devoutly say : " In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day."

2 I love her gates, I love the road ;

The church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace, built for God, To show his milder face.

3 Up to her courts, with joys unknown,

The holy tribes repair; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there.

4 He hears our praises and complaints;

And, while his awful voice Divides the sinners from the saints, We tremble and rejoice.

5 Peace be within this sacred place,

And joy a constant guest ! With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest !

6 My soul shall pray for Zion still,

While life or breath remains : There my best friends, my kindred, dwell ; There God, my Saviour, reigns.

The sun to rule the day ; The moon shines full at his command, And all the stars obey. -

3 I sing the goodness of the Lord,

That rilled the earth with food ; He formed the creatures with his word, And then pronounced them good.

4 Lord, how thy wonders are displayed,.

Where'er I turn mine eye; If I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the sky \

5 There's not a plant or flower below

But makes thy glories known ; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from thy throne.

2 While thy glorious praise is sung, Touch my lips, unloose my tongue ; That my joyful soul may bless Thee, the Lord, my Righteousness.

3 While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love ! to mine attend : Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads; Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

4 While I hearken to thy law, Fill my soul with humble awe, Till thy gospel bring to me Life and immortality.

4 Be thou exalted, O my God !

Above the heavens where angels dwell ; Thy power on earth be. known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell.

J7 Q. An ancient Hymn of Praise to God.

1 Thee wc adore, eternal Lord !

We praise thy name with one accord ; Thy saints, who here thy goodness sec, Through all the world do worship thee.

2 To thee aloud all angels cry,

The heavens and all the powers on high : Thee, holy, holy, holy King, Lord God of hosts, they ever sing.

3 Th' apostles join the glorious throng ; The prophets swell th' immortal song ; The martyrs' noble army raise Eternal anthems to thy praise.

4 From day to day, O Lord, do we Highly exalt and honor thee ! Thy name we worship and adore, World without end, for evermore !

5 Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray, To keep us safe from sin this day ; Have mercy, Lord ! we trust in thee ; Oh, let us ne'er confounded be !

God exalted. — Psalm 57.

100.

1 Be thou exalted, 0 my God !

Above the heavens where angels dwell ; Thv power on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell.

2 My heart is fixed ; my song shall rate •

Immortal honors to thy name : Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise, My tongue, the glory of my frame.

3 High o'er the earth his mercy reigns,

And reaches to the utmost sky ; His truth to endless years remains, When lower worlds dissolve and die.

1 (JO. Brief Call to Praise, from Psalm 117.

1 From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise ;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ; Eternal truth attends thy word :

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more !

1^9. The GlonJ °f God-

1 Come, O my soul ! in sacred lays, Attempt thy great Creator's praise : But, oh, what tongue can speak his fame ! What mortal verse can reach the theme !

2 Enthroned amid the radiant spheres, He glory, like a garment, wears ; To form a robe of light divine,

Ten thousand suns around him shine.

3 In all our Maker's grand designs, Almighty power, with wisdom, shines; His works, thro' all this wondrous frame, Declare the glory of his name.

4 Raised on devotion's lofty wing, Do thou, my soul, his glories sing ; And let his praise employ thy tongue, Till listening worlds shall join the song !

DOXOLOGY.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ! Praise him, all creatures here below ! Praise him above, ye heavenly host ! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !

When ransomed from the grave ; He who redeemed my soul from hell, Hath sovereign power to save.

l> He fills the poor with good : He gives the sufferers rest : The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for th' oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known ; But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.

'And all that is icilhin, me bless Ills holy name." — Psalm 103.

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul !

His grace to thee proclaim ; And all that is within me join

To bless his holy name. Oh, bless the Lord, my soul !

His mercies bear in mind; Forget not all his benefits :

The Lord to thee is kind.

' This i. the day which the Lord hath made.''' Psalm 113.

1 This is the day the Lord hath made ;

He calls the hours his own : Let heaven rejoice, let earth he glad, And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day he rose, and left the dead,

And Satan's empire fell ; To-day the saints his triumph spread, And all his wonders tell.

3 Hosanna to th' anointed King,

To David's holy Son : Help us, O Lord ! descend and bring Salvation from thy throne.

4 Blest be the Lord who comes to men

With messages of grace ; Who comes in God his Father's nanir. To save our sinful race.

5 Hosanna in the highest strains

The church on earth can raise ; The highest heavens, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise.

60.

" Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

Again the Lord of life and light

Awakes the kindling ray, Unseals the eyelids of the morn,

And pours refulgent day.

Oh, what a night was that which wrapt

A guilty world in gloom ! Oh, what a Sun, which broke this day,

Triumphant from the toinb !

This day be grateful homage paid,

And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart,

And praise on every tongue. Ten thousand thousand lips shall join

To hail this happy morn,

Which scatters blessings from its wings On nations yet unborn.

<j£ \ . " Tlie unsearchable riches of Christ."

1 To our Redeemer's glorious name

Awake the sacred song; Oh, may his love — immortal flame ! — Tune every heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach !

What mortal tongue display ', Imagination's utmost stretch Jn wonder dies away.

3 Dear Lord, while we, adoring, pay

Our humble thanks to thee,

May every heart with rapture say,

" The Saviour died for me !"

4 Oh, may the sweet, the blissful theme,

Fill every heart and tongue ! Till strangers love thy charming name, And join the sacred song.

4:0 O. The M,,le the light °f ihe World.

1 A glory gilds the sacred page,

Majestic, like the sun : It gives a light to every age ; It gives, but borrows none.

2 The hand that gave it still supplies

The gracious light and heat : Its truths upon the nations rise ; They rise, but never set.

3 Let everlasting thanks be thine

For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day.

4 My soul rejoices to pursue

- The steps of him I love. Till glory breaks upon my view In brighter worlds above !

' Our feet shall stand witkim thy gate* salmi." — Psalm 122.

OJe,

56.

1 The festal morn, my God, is com;'. That calls rac to thy sacred dome,

Thy presence to adore : My feet the summons shall attend, With willing steps thy courts ascend,

And tread the hallowed floor.

2 With holy joy I hail the day That warns my thirsting soul away

To dwell among the Idlest ! For, lo ! my great Redeemer's power Unfolds the everlasting door,

And leads me to his rest !

3 Hither, from earth's remotest end, Lo ! the redeemed of God ascend,

Their tribute hither bring : Here, crowned with everlasting joy, In hymns of praise their tongues employ,

And hail th' immortal King.

J. A 7 . There is a God.

1 I sing of God, — the world he made, The glorious light, the soothing shade ;

Dale, plain, and grove, and hill ; The wide and fathomless abyss, Where nature joys in secret bliss,

And wisdom hides her skill.

2 " Tell them, I am," Jehovah said : The listening earth did hear in dread;

And, smitten to the heart, At once, above, beneath, around, All nature, without voice or sound,

Replied, " O Lord, Thou akt ! "

i UO. T,ie Fi'Ilnens of Olvrists Lore.

1 O love divine, how sweet thou art ! When shall I find my willing heart

All taken up by thee ? I thirst, I faint, 1 die to prove The greatness of redeeming love, —

The love of Christ to me.

2 Stronger his love than death or hell : No mortal can its riches tell,

Nor first-born sons of light : In vain they long its depths to sec ; They can not reach the mystery, —

The length, the breadth, the height.

3 God only knows the love of God ; Oh that it now were shed abroad

In this poor, stony heart ! For love I sigh, for love I pine ; This only portion, Lord, be mine —

Be mine this better part.

4 Oh that I could for ever sit

In transport at my Saviour's feet !

Be this my happy choice ; My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth, be this,

To hear my Saviour's voice.

DOXOLOGY.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God, whom heaven's triumphant host

And saints on earth adore, Be glory as in ages past, [s now, and shall for ever last.

When time shall be no more !

4 When troubles rise, and storms appear,

There may his children hide ; God has a strong pavilion, where He makes my soul abide.

5 Now shall my head be lifted high

Above my foes around ; And songs of joy and victory Within thy temple sound.

A Q "My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning." ttO. Psalm 5.

1 Lord ! in the morning thou shalt hear

My voice ascending high ;

To thee will I direct my prayer,

To thee lift up mine eye ;

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone,

To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before whose sight

The wicked shall not stand ;

Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,

Nor dwell at thy right hand.

4 But to thy house will I resort,

To taste thy mercies there ; I will frequent thy holy court, And worship in thy fear.

5 Oh, may thy Spirit guide my feet

In ways of righteousness ! Make every path of duty straight, And plain before my face.

J. O . " Peace be within thy walls." — Psalm 122.

1 With joy we hail the sacred day

Which God hath called his own ; With joy the summons we obey To worship at his throne.

2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair !

Where willing votaries throng To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, And pour the choral song.

3 Spirit of grace ! Oh, deign to dwell

Within thy church below ; Make her in holiness excel, With pure devotion glow.

4 Let peace within her walls be found ;

Let all her sons unite To spread, with grateful zeal, around Her clear and shining light.

5 Great God, we hail the sacred day

Which thou hast called thine own; With joy the summons we obey To worship at thy throne.

' One thing have I desired of the Lord.'' Psalm 27.

20.

1 The Lord of glory is my light,

And my salvation, too ; God is my strength, nor will I fear What all my foes can do.

2 One privilege my heart desires ;

Oh, grant me an abode Among the churches of thy saints, The temples of my God !

3 There shall I offer my requests,

And see thy beauty still ; Shall hear thy messages of love, And there inquire thy will.

1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone ! Let ray religious hours alone :

Fain would mine eyes my Saviour sec ; I wait a visit, Lord, from thee.

2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire : Come, my dear Jesus ! from above, And feed my soul with heavenly love.

3 Blest Saviour ! what delicious fare, How sweet thine entertainments are ! Never did angels taste, above, Redeeming grace and dying love.

4 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine ! In thee thy Father's glories shine : Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One That eyes have seen, or angels known !

4:0. ' " Thou art mV Corf."— Psalm 63.

1 Great God, indulge my humble claim ;

Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest ; The glories that compose thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest.

2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise,

Thou art my Father and my God ; And I am thine, by sacred ties —

Thy son, thy servant, bought with blood.

3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands,

For thee I long, to thee I look ; As travelers, in thirsty lands,

Pant for the cooling water brook.

4 With early feet I love t' appear

Among thy saints, and seek thy face ; Oft have I seen thy glory there.

And felt the power of sovereign grace.

1 Sun of my soul ! thou Saviour dear, It is not night if thou be near : Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes !

2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, — how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast !

3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I can not live ; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die.

4 Be near to bless me when I wake, Ere through the world my way I take ; Abide with me till in thy love I lose myself in heaven above.

. " I will both lay me dmon in peace and slee/i. ''

1 Thus far the Lord has led me on ; Thus far his power prolongs my days ;

And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial ofhis grace.

2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home ;

But he forgives my follies past :

He gives me strength for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep ; Peace is the pillow for my head ;

"While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed.

4 Faith in thy name forbids my fear ; Oh, may thy presence ne'er depart!

And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart.

5 Thus, when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,

And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.

1 Blest morning ! whose young dawning

rays Beheld our rising God ; That saw him triumph o'er the dust, And leave his dark ahode.

2 In the cold prison of a tomb

The great Redeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th' appointed day.

3 Hell and the grave unite their force

To hold our God, in vain ; The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain.

4 To thy great name, almighty Lord,

These sacred hours we pay ; And loud hosannas shall proclaim The triumph of the day.

5 Salvation and immortal praise

To our victorious King ! Let heaven, and earth, and rocks, and seas, With glad hosannas ring.

X i \) , Condescension of God. — Psalm S.

1 O thou, to whom all creatures bow

Within this earthly frame, Through all the world, how great art thou ! How glorious is thy name !

2 When heaven, thy beauteous work on

high, Employs my wondering sight ; The moon that nightly rules the skv, With stars of feebler light ; —

3 Lord, what is man,, that thou shouldst

deign To bear him in thy mind ! Or what his race, that thou shouldst prove To them so wondrous kind !

How wondrous are thy ways ! Let earth beneath, and heaven above, Combine to sing thy praise.

2 Man in immortal beauty shone,

Thy noblest work below ; Too soon by sin made heir alone To death and endless woe.

3 Then, " Lo ! I come," the Saviour said ;

Oh, be his name adored, Who, with his blood, our ransom paid, And life and bliss restored !

4 O Lord, how infinite thy love !

How wondrous are thy ways ! Let earth beneath, and heaven above, Combine to sing thy praise.

I y t/. " lam not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.'''

1 Dear Lord, and will thy pardoning love

Embrace a wretch so vile ? Wilt thou my load of guilt remove, And bless me with thy smile ?

2 Hast thou the cross for me endured,

And suffered all my shame ?

And shall I be ashamed, O Lord,

To own thy precious name ?

3 No, Lord, I 'in not ashamed of thee,

Nor of thy cross and death : Oh, do not be ashamed of me, AVhen I resign my breath !

' Let us go into the house of the Lord.' Psalui 122.

1 How pleased and blest was I To hear the people cry,

" Come, let us seek our God to-day ! "

Yes, with a cheerful zeal

AVe haste to Zion's hill, And there our vows and honors pay.

2 Zion, thrice happy place, Adorned with wondrous grace,

And walls of strength embrace thee round In thee our tribes appear To pray, and praise, and hear

The sacred Gospel's joyful sound.

3 May peace attend thy gate, And joy within thee wait

To bless the soul of every guest :

The man who seeks thy peace, And wishes thine increase,

A thousand blessings on him rest !

4 My tongue repeats her vows,

" Peace to this sacred house ! " For here my friends and kindred dwell ; Ami since my glorious God Makes thee his blest abode, My soul shall ever love thee well.

121.

' Jehovah reigntJ"

1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, And royal state maintains, His head with awful glories crowned ;

Arrayed in robes of light, Begirt with sovereign might, And rays of majesty around.

2 Upheld by thy commands, The world securely stands,

And skies and stars obey thy word : Thy throne was fixed on high Before the starry sky :

Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord !

3 Let floods and nations rage, And all their powers engage ;

Let swelling tides assault the sky : The terrors of thy frown Shall beat their madness down :

Thy throne for ever stands on high.

4 Thy promises are true ; Thy grace is ever new ; '

There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove Thy saints, with holy fear, Shall in thy courts appear,

And sing thine everlasting love.

Q \J (J # Christian, Concord. — Psalm 133.

1 How pleasant 'tis to see Kindred and friends agree, —

Each in his proper station move, And each fulfill his part, With svmpathizing heart,

In all the cares of life and love !

2 Like fruitful showers of rain, That water all the plain,

Descending from the neighboring hills, Such streams of pleasure roll Through every friendly soul,

Where love, like heavenly dew, distills.

His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record ; Israel, the nation, whom he chose, And rescued from their mighty foes.

3 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray ; He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land.

4 Oh, let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord ! How great his works ! how kind his ways ! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

1 AQ " To-day, if ye trill hear Bis voice." X\J U> Psalm 95.

1 Come, let our voices join to raise A sacred song of solemn praise : God is a sovereign King ; rehearse His honors in exalted verse.

2 Come, let our souls address the Lord, Who framed our natures with his word : He is our Shepherd, we the sheep

His mercy chose, his pastures keep.

3 Come, let us hear his voice to-day ; The counsels of his love obey ; Nor let our hardened hearts renew The sins and plagues that Israel knew.

4 Seize the kind promise while it waits, And march to Zion's heavenly gates : Believe, and take the promised rest ; Obey, and be for ever blest.

m" While I live will I praise the Lord." Psalm 146.

1 Praise ye the Lord ! my heart shall join In work so pleasant, so divine :

My days of praise shall ne'er be passed. While life, and thought, and being last.

2 Happy the man, whose hopes rely On Israel's God : he made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train : And none shall find his promise vain.

3 His truth for ever stands secure ;

He saves th' oppressed, he feeds the poor ; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless.

4 He loves his saints, he knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell : Thy God, 0 Zion, ever reigns ;

Praise him in everlasting strains.

1 ^ " OK that m»tl would praise the Lordf.tr lut« Ilia goodness. .'" — Psalm 107.

1 Give thanks to God ; he reigns above ; Kind are his thoughts, his name is love :

Providence and Grace of God.— Psalm 86.

157.

1 High in the heavens, eternal God !

Thy goodness in full glory shines ;

Thy truth shall break thro' every cloud

That vails and darkens thy designs.

2 For ever firm thy justice stands,

As mountains their foundations keep : Wise are the wonders of thy hands ; Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

3 My God, how excellent thy grace !

Whence all our hope and comfort springs ; The sons of Adam, in distress, Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

4 From the provisions of thy house

We shall be fed with sweet repast : There, mercy, like a river, flows, And brings salvation to our taste.

5 Life, like a fountain, rich and free,

Springs from the presence of my Lord ; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word.

1 Q "Beautiful for /situation, the joy of the whole ■LO' earth."— Psalm 48.

1 Far as thy name is known,

The world declares thy praise ; Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne, Their songs of honor raise.

2 With joy thy people stand

On Zion's chosen hill, Proclaim the wonders of thy hand, And counsels of thy will.

3 Let strangers walk around

The city where we dwell, Compass and view thine holy ground, And mark the building well —

4 The order of thy house,

The worship of thy court, The cheerful songs, the solemn vows ; And make a fair report.

5 How decent, and how Aviso !

How glorious to behold ! Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorned with gold.

6 The God we worship now

Will guide us till we die ; Will be our God, while here below, And ours above the sky.

"I 0 £\ *? " n°w beautiful upon the mountains." LVUA. Isaiah 52 : T.

1 How beauteous are their feet

Who stand on Zion's hill ! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal.

2 How charming is their voice !

How sweet the tidings are ! —

"Zion, behold thy Saviour King!

He reigns and triumphs here."

8 How happy are our ears,

That hear this joyful sound,

Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found !

4 How blessed are our eyes,

That see this heavenly light ! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight.

5 The watchmen join their voice,

And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,

And deserts learn the joy. C The Lord makes bare his arm

Through all the earth abroad : Let every nation now behold

Their Saviour and their God.

1 C\ *? *7 " T/ie Head-stone of the corner."

l"-l- Psalm ilS.

1 See what a living stone

The builders did refuse ! Yet God hath built his church thereon, In spite of envious Jews.

2 The scribe and angry priest

Reject thine only Son \, Yet on this rock shall Zion rest, As the chief corner-stone.

3 The work, O Lord, is thine,

And wondrous in our eyes : This day declares it all divine ; This day did Jesus rise.

4 This is the glorious day

That our Redeemer made : Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray ; Let all the church be glad.

5 Hosanna to the King,

Of David's royal blood ! Bless him, ye saints ! he comes to bring Salvation from your God.

6 We bless thine holy word,

Which all this grace displays, And offer on thine altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.

3 Blest are the saints, who sit on high, Around thy throne above the sky : Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love.

4 Blest are the souls, who find a place Within the temple of thy grace ; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.

5 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate :

God is their strength ; and thro' the road They lean upon their helper, God.

G Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length ; Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.

VllM "I trill love T7,ee, O Lord, my strength." w v a ' Psalm 18.

1 Thee will I love, O God, and own My strength is in thine arm alone. Jehovah is my rock, my tower, My Saviour in the darkest hour ;

My God, my strength, my confidence, My buckler, helm, and high defense : On him I call, and bless his name; Ne'er shall my hope be put to shame.

2 With forms of death on every side. Beset with foes, my courage died ; Hell compassed me with horrors dread, The snares of death were round me

spread : In my distress to God I prayed, I called upon my God for aid ; He heard my cry ; it reached his throne : Thee will I love, O God, alone.

M" Blessed are they that Axcell in 77a/ house." • Psalm 84.

1 How pleasant, how divinely fair,

O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are ! With long desire my spirit faints. To meet th' assemblies of thy saints.

2 My flesh would rest in thine abode ; My panting heart cries out for God : My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee !

Joy in the House of God.— Psalm 84.

15.

"Early will J seek Tfiee."— Psalm 63.

1 Early, my God ! without delay,

I haste to seek thy face ; My thirsty spirit faints away, Without thy cheering grace.

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 I 've seen thy glory and thy power

Through all thy temple shine : My God ! repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine.

4 Not life itself, with all its joys,

Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As thy forgiving love.

5 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.

Tliou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb.'

333.

1 Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,

I love to hear of thee ; No music's like thy charming name, Nor half so sweet can be.

2 Oh, may I ever hear thy voice

In mercy to me speak ; In thee, my Priest, will I rejoice, And thy salvation seek.

3 My Jesus shall be still my theme,

While on this earth I stay ;

I '11 sing my Jesus' lovely name,

When all things else decay.

4 When I appear in yonder cloud, With all his favored throng, Then will I sing more sweet, more loud, And Christ shall be my song.

1 The Lamb is the light thereof.'"

334.

1 O thou, who art enrobed with light,

How pure the soul must be, When, placed within thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight

Can live and look on thee !

2 Lord, how can I, whose native sphere

Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before thy radiant light appear, And on my naked spirit bear

Thine uncreated beam ?

3 Is there a way for man to rise

To that sublime abode ? Thine ofFring and thy sacrifice, Thy pains, and groans, and-tears,and cries,

Thy death, O Lamb of God!—

4 These, these prepare us for the sight

Of Majesty above ; The sons of ignorance and night Can dwell in the eternal Light,

Through the eternal Love.

(vAQ "Be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven UUt/. " thee."— Matt. 9: 2.

1 Mv Saviour, let me hear thy voice

Pronounce the word of peace, And all my warmest powers shall join To celebrate thy grace.

2 With gentle smiles call me thy child,

And speak my sins forgiven : The accents mild shall charm my car, Like the sweet harps of heaven.

1 Rejoice, ye saint?, rejoice and praise The blessings of redeeming grace ! Jesus, your everlasting tower,

Stands firm against the tempest's power.

2 lie is a refuge ever High ;

His love endures as mountains high ; His name 's a rock, which winds above, And waves below, can never move.

3 While all things change, he changes not ; He ne'er forgets, though oft forgot ; His love will ever be the same ;

His word, enduring as his name.

4 Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise The blessings of this wondrous grace ! Jesus, your everlasting tower,

Can bear, unmoved, the tempest's power.

T;«J \J. " He hath done all things well." — Mark 7 : ST.

1 Now, in a song of grateful praise,

To my dear Lord my voice I '11 raise ; With all his saints I '11 join to tell That Jesus hath done all things well.

2 Wisdom, and power, and love divine, In all his works, unrivaled, shine, And force the wondering world to tell That lie alone did all things well.

3 Howe'er mysterious are his ways, Or dark and sorrowful my days; And though my spirit oft rebel,

I know he still doth all things well. -4 And when I stand before his throne, And all his ways are fully known, This note in sweetest strains shall swell, That Jesus hath done all things well.

i tj(j . " Ashamed of Jesus /"

1 Jesus ! and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee?

Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine thro' endless days ?

2 Ashamed of Jesus ! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star : He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine.

3 Ashamed of Jesus ! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend ! No : when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name.

4 Ashamed of Jesus ! yes, I may, When I 've no guilt to wash away ; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save.

5 Till then — nor is my boasting vain — Till then I boast a Saviour slain ! And, oh, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me !

2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy various charms be known : Then decked in robes of righteousness. The world thy glories shall confess.

3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread : No more shall hell's insulting host Their vict'ry and thy sorrows boast.

4 God, from on high, thy groans will hear ; His hand thy ruin shall repair ;

Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.
