THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST.

4 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

The grace,& c. 2 Cor. xiii. 14. FATHER of Heaven, whose love profound A ransom for our souls hath found, Before thy throne we sinners bend; To us thy pard'ning love extend. 2 Almighty Son, Incarnate Word, Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord, Before thy throne we sinners bend; To us thy saving grace extend. 3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath The soul is rais'd from sin and death, Before thy throne we sinners bend; To us thy quick'ning power extend. 4 Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son!

Mysterious Godhead! Three in One! Before thy throne we sinners bend; Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

PSALM VIII.

11

10 THOU to whom all creatures bow

Within this earthly frame, Through all the world how great art Thou! How glorious is thy name!

C. M.

2 In heaven thy wondrous acts are sung, Nor fully reckon'd there; And yet Thou mak'st the infant tongue Thy boundless praise declare.

3 When heaven, thy beauteous work on high, Employs my wond'ring sight;

The moon, that nightly rules the sky, With stars of feebler light;

4 Lord, what is man, that Thou should'st deign To bear him in thy mind?

Or condescend to visit him,

In human flesh enshrined?
