2 Thou shin'st with everlasting rays: Before the insufferable blaze

DESCRIBING

Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet, free as air thy bounty streams On all thy works; thy mercy's beams Diffusive, as thy sun's, arise.

3 Astonish'd at thy frowning brow,[ bow; Earth, hell, and heaven's strong pillars

Terrible majesty is thine!

Who then can that vast love express, Which bows thee down to me, who less Than nothing am, till thou art mine!

4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure still Thou sweetly orderest all that is: And yet thou deign'st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I, with thee

Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss. 5 Fountain of good, all blessing flows From thee; no want thy fulness knows: What but thyself canst thou desire? Yet, self- sufficient as thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart: This, only this, dost thou require.

6 Primeval Beauty! in thy sight, The first- born fairest sons of light See all their brightest glories fade: What then to me thine eyes could turn? In sin conceived, of woman born, A worm, a leaf, a blast, a shade!

7 Hell's armies tremble at thy nod, And, trembling, own the Almighty God, Sovereign of earth, hell, air, and sky: But who is this that comes from far, Whose garments roll'd in blood appear? " Tis God made man, for man to die.

80 God, of good the' unfathom'd Sea! Who would not give his heart to thee? Who would not love thee with his might, O Jesu, Lover of mankind? Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to thee unite?

1 ATHER, whose everlasting Love Thy only Son for sinners gave; Whose grace to all did freely move, And sent him down the world to save:

2 Help us thy mercy to extol, Immense, unfathom'd, unconfined; To praise the Lamb who died for all, The general Saviour of mankind.

3 Thy undistinguishing regard

Was cast on Adam's fallen race: For all thou hast in Christ prepared Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.

4 The world he suffer'd to redeem:

For all he hath the' atonement made: For those that will not come to him, The ransom of his life was paid.

5 Why then, thou universal Love, Should any of thy grace despair? To all, to all, thy bowels move, But straiten'd in our own we are.

6 Arise, O God, maintain thy cause! The fulness of the Gentiles call: Lift up the standard of thy cross, And all shall own thou diedst for all.

¹0 Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Under the

2

ow of thy throne, Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defence is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages, in thy sight, Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun.

5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their cares and fears, Are carried downward by the flood, And lost in following years.

6 Time, like an ever- rolling stream, Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 70 God! our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be thou our guard while life shall last, And our perpetual home.
