Tune 16.

8s & 7s.

From the doctrines I'll ne'er waver,
In the holy scriptures stored;
O what sweetness do I savor,

In each sacred covenant word.

2 And if I myself examine,

While the book I 'fore me hold,
To each truth my heart saith Amen,
One the other doth unfold.

3 Speak, O Lord, thy servant heareth
With deep awe attentively;
What thy holy word declareth
Shall my rule and practice be.

8s, 7s & 7s.

Tune 89.

PRECIOUS Bible! what a treasure
Does the word of God afford;
All I want for life or pleasure,

Food and medicine, shield and sword;
Let the world account me poor,
Having this I need no more.
2 In the hour of dark temptation
Satan cannot make me yield:
For this word of consolation

Is to me both sword and shield:
While the scripture truths are sure,
From his malice I'm secure.

THE HOLY TRINITY.

10.

Tune 22,

BLEST Trinity, from mortal sight
Veiled in thine own eternal light,
We thee confess, in thee believe,
To thee with loving hearts we cleave.

2 O Father, thou most holy one!
O God of God, eternal Son!
O Holy Ghost, thou love divine!
To join them both is ever thine.

11s.

3 The Father is in God the Son,
And with the Father he is one:
In both the Spirit doth abide,
And with them both is glorified.

4 Such as the Father, such the Son,
And such the Spirit, three in one:
The three one perfect verity,
The three one perfect charity.

5 Eternal Father, thee we praise;
To thee, O Son, our hymns we raise;
O Holy Ghost, we thee adore:
One mighty God for evermore.

O FATHER of mercy, be ever adored;
Thy love was displayed in sending our Lord
To ransom and bless us: thy goodness we
praise

For sending in Jesus salvation by grace.

2 Most merciful Saviour, who deignedst to die, Our curse to remove, and our pardon to buy; Accept our thanksgiving, almighty to save, Who openest heaven to all that believe.

3 O Spirit of wisdom, of love, and of power, We prove thy blest influence, thy grace we adore;

Whose inward revealing applies our Lord's blood,

Attesting and sealing us children of God.

HOLY, holy, holy Lord

God of hosts, eternal King!

Tune 581.

By the heavens and earth adored!—
Angels and archangels sing,
Chanting everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

2 Since by thee were all things made,
And in thee do all things live,
Be to thee all honor paid;

Praise to thee let all things give,
Singing everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand,
Spirits blest, before the throne,
Speeding thence at thy command;
And, when thy commands are done,
Singing everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

4 Cherubim and seraphim

Veil their faces with their wings;
Eyes of angels are too dim

To behold the King of kings,
While they sing eternally
To the blessed Trinity.

5 Thee, apostles, prophets, thee,
Thee, the noble martyr band,
Praise with solemn jubilee;

Thee, the church in every land,
Singing everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

6 Hallelujah! Lord! to thee,

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Godhead one, and persons three!

C. M.

Join with us the heavenly host,
Singing everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

13.

HAIL! holy, holy, holy Lord,
Whom one in three we know ;
By all thy heavenly hosts adored,
By all thy church below.

2 One undivided Trinity

Tune 14.

With triumph we proclaim;
Thy universe is full of thee,
And speaks thy glorious name.
3 Thee, holy Father, we confess :
Thee, holy Son, adore;
And thee, the Holy Ghost, we bless,
And worship evermore.

4 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord,
Our heavenly song shall be;
Supreme, essential one, adored
In co-eternal three.

C. M.

Tune 14.

OUR heavenly Father, source of love,
To thee our hearts we raise :
Thy all-sustaining power we prove,
And gladly sing thy praise.

2 Lord Jesus, thine we wish to be,
Our sacrifice receive:

Made and preserved, and saved by thee,
To thee ourselves we give.

3 Come, Holy Ghost, the Saviour's love
Shed in our hearts abroad:

So shall we ever live and move,
And be with Christ in God.
