2. My soul repeat His praise,
Whose mercies are so great,
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.

3. High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.

4. His power subdues our sins, And His forgiving love,

Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove.

5. The pity of the Lord,

To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame.

4. And yet the songs I frame
Are faithless to Thy cause,
And steal the honors of Thy name
To build their own applause.

d

4. These speak of Thee with loud acclaim;
They thunder forth Thy praise-
The glorious honor of Thy name,
The wonders of Thy ways.

5. But Thou art not in tempest-flame,
Nor in the solar blaze.

We hear Thy voice, when thunders roll
Through the wild fields of air.

6. The waves obey Thy dread control;
Yet still Thou art not there:
Where shall I find Him, O my soul!
Who yet is every where?

1. GREAT God, how infinite art Thou!
What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee.
2. Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.

3. Eternity, with all its years,

Stands present in Thy view;
To Thee there's nothing old appears-
Great God, there's nothing new.

4. Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vexed with trifling cares;
While Thine eternal thoughts move on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

5. Great God, how infinite art Thou!
What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee.

1. FATHER! how wide Thy glory shines! How high Thy wonders rise! [signsKnown through the earth by thousand By thousand through the skies.

6. In Thy fair book of life and grace, O, may I find my name Recorded in some humble place, Beneath my Lord, the Lamb.

WATTS.

1. I SING th' almighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.

2. I sing the wisdom that ordained
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 filled 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.

6. Creatures that borrow life from Thee
Are subject to Thy care;

There's not a place where we can flee
But God is present there.

1. LORD! when my raptured thought surveys

Creation's beauties o'er,

All nature joins to teach Thy praise,
And bid my soul adore.

2. Where'er I turn my gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.

3. On me Thy providence hath shone
With gentle, smiling rays;

Oh! let my lips and life make known
Thy goodness and Thy praise.

4. All-bounteous Lord! Thy grace impart; Oh! teach me to improve

Thy gifts, with ever-grateful heart,
And crown them with Thy love.

1. How long, sometimes, a day appears!
And weeks, how long are they!
Months move on slow, as if the years
Would never pass away.

2. But even years are passing by,
And soon must all be gone;
For day by day, as minutes fly,
Eternity comes on.

3. Days, months, and years must have an end, Eternity has none;

"Twill always have as long to spend
As when it first begun.

4. Great God! a creature can not tell
How such a thing can be,

I only pray that I may dwell
That long, long time with Thee.
