O GOD, whose presence glows in all
Within, around us, and above,
Thy word we bless, thy name we call,
Whose word is Truth, whose name is Love.

That truth be with the heart believed
Of all who seek this sacred place;
With power proclaimed, in peace received;
Our spirits' light, thy Spirit's grace.

That love its holy influence pour,
To keep us meek, and make us free,
And throw its binding blessing more
Round each with all, and all with thee.

A heavenly calm pervades the breast, The earnest of that glorious rest Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains.

With joy, great God, thy works we view,

In various scenes, both old and new: With praise, we think on mercies past; With hope, we future pleasures taste.

In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures, pass away;
How sweet, a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end!

GREAT God, attend, while Zion sings The joy that from thy presence springs; To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.

Might I enjoy the meanest place
Within thy house, O God of grace,
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
Should tempt my feet to leave the door.

God is our Sun; he makes our day: God is our Shield; he guards our way From all th' assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within.

GREAT God, what do I see and hear?

The end of things created: The Judge of man I see appear,

On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him.

The dead in Christ shall first arise,

At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day

On those prepared to meet him.

But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing :
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.

Great God, what do I see and hear?
The end of things created:
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
Before his cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him.

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy ;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy.

His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men ;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.

We are his people, we his care;
Our souls and all our mortal frame ;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?

We'll crowd thy gates, with thankful songs;
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

Wide as the world is thy command;
Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

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.
