And ev'ry virtue we possess,
And ev'ry victory won,
And ev'ry thought of holiness,
Are His alone.
Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying see;
O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And meet for thee. Amen.
PRAISE and blessing, Lord, be given
Unto Thee, our hope, our all;
Lord most highest, earth and heaven
Low before Thy presence fall.
All creation Thou sustainest,
Father, with Thy powerful hand:
Thou, O Jesu, ever reignest,
Ever shall Thy kingdom stand.
Holy Spirit, who restorest
Deaden'd hearts to life divine, Heavenly light on earth Thou pourest, As the stars in darkness shine.
Mighty Father, we confess Thee,
And with Thee the Son adore ;
Holy Ghost, we laud and bless Thee,
God o'er all for evermore.
PRAISE, O praise our God and King!
Hymns of adoration sing:
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Praise Him that He made the Sun
Day by day his course to run:
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
And the silver Moon by night,
Shining with her gentle light:
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Praise Him that He gave the rain,
To mature the swelling grain :
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield:
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Praise Him for our Harvest-store,
He hath fill'd the Garner-floor :
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
And for richer Food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss:
For His mercies still endure,
Every faithful, ever sure.
Glory to our bounteous King!
Glory let Creation sing!
Glory to the Father, Son,
And blest Spirit, Three in One. Amen.
PRAISE the Lord, ye heavens, adore Him;
Praise Him, angels, in the height;
Sun and moon, rejoice before him;
Praise Him, all ye stars and light.
Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken,
Worlds His mighty voice obey'd;
Laws which never shall be broken
For their guidance hath He made.
Praise the Lord, for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail :
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation;
Hosts on high His power proclaim;
Heaven and earth, and all creation,
Laud and magnify His Name.
Worship, honour, glory, blessing,
Lord, we offer to Thy Name;
Young and old Thy praise expressing,
Join their Saviour to proclaim.
As the saints in heaven adore Thee, We would bow before Thy throne; As Thine angels serve before Thee, So on earth Thy will be done.
PRAISE to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;
Bounteous Source of every joy,
Let Thy praise our tongues employ :
All to Thee, our God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow.
All the blessings of the fields,
All the stores the garden yields,
Flocks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripen'd grain :
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
Clouds that drop their fat'ning dews,
Suns that genial warmth diffuse,
All the plenty Summer pours,
Autumn's rich o'erflowing stores:
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
Peace, prosperity, and health,
Private bliss and public wealth,
Knowledge, with its gladd'ning streams,
Pure religion's holier beams:
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
PUT thou thy trust in God,
In duty's path go on,
Walk in His strength with faith and hope,
So shall thy work be done.
Commit thy ways to Him,
Thy works into His hands,
And rest on His unchanging word,
Who heaven and earth commands.
Though years on years roll on, His covenant shall endure; Though clouds and darkness hide His path, The promis'd grace is sure.
Through waves, and clouds, and storms, His power will clear thy way: Wait thou His time, the darkest night Shall end in brightest day.
ROCK of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy wounded Side which flow'd,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
