GOD eternal, Lord of all!
Lowly at thy feet we fall:
All the world doth worship thee;
We amidst the throng would be.
All the holy angels cry,

Hail, thrice-holy, God most high!
Lord of all the heavenly powers,
Be the same loud anthem ours.

2 Glorified apostles raise,
Night and day, continual praise;
Hast thou not a mission too
For thy children here to do?
With the prophet's goodly line
We in mystic bond combine;
For thou hast to babes revealed
Things that to the wise were sealed.

3 Martyrs, in a noble host,
Of thy cross are heard to boast;
Since so bright the crown they wear,
We with them thy cross would bear.
All thy church, in heaven and earth,
Jesus! hail thy spotless birth;-
Seated on the judgment-throne,
Number us among thine own!

J. E. Millard, tr.

150 "In Excelsis."

GLORY be to God on high,-
God, whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth to man forgiven, -
Man, the well-beloved of heaven.
Sovereign Father, Heavenly King!
Thee we now presume to sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.

2 Hail, by all thy works adored!
Hail, the everlasting Lord!
Thee with thankful hearts we prove,-
God of power, and God of love!
Christ our Lord and God we own,-
Christ the Father's only Son;
Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.

3 Jesus! in thy name we pray,
Take, oh, take our sins away!
Powerful Advocate with God!
Justify us by thy blood.
Hear, for thou, O Christ! alone,
Art with thy great Father one;
One the Holy Ghost with thee;-
One supreme eternal Three.

Charles Wesley.

And all the tender mercy he hath shown;

THE God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love!
Jehovah! great I AM!

By earth and heaven confessed; 1 bow and bless the sacred name, For ever blest!

2 The God of Abraham praise!
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand:

I all on earth forsake,

Its wisdom, fame, and power,
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

2 The God of Abraham praise:
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days
In all my ways:

He calls a worm his friend!
He calls himself my God!
And he shall save me to the end
Through Jesus' blood!

Universal Adoration.

ANGELS holy, high and lowly,

Sing the praises of the Lord! Earth and sky, all living nature, Man, the stamp of thy Creator,

Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord! 2 Sun and moon, bright night and moonlight; Starry temples, azure-floored; Cloud and rain, and wild wind's madness, Sons of God that shout for gladness, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord! 3 Ocean hoary, tell his glory, Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared! Pulse of waters, blithely beating, Wave advancing, wave retreating, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

GRÖNINGEN. P. M.

4 Rock and high land, wood and island, Crag, where eagle's pride hath soared; Mighty mountains, purple-breasted, Peaks, cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord! 5 Rolling river, praise him ever,

From the mountains' deep vein poured; Troubled torrent, wildly rushing, Silver fountain, clearly gushing,

Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord! 6 Praise him ever, bounteous Giver;

Praise him, Father, Friend and Lord! Each glad soul its free course winging, Each glad voice its free song singing, Praise the great and mighty Lord!

John Stuart Blackie.
