1 GLORY to Thee, my God! this night,
For all the blessings of the light:
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings!
Beneath thine own almighty wings!

2 Forgive me, Lord! through thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep at peace may be.

3 O may my soul on Thee repose,

And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close!
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.

4 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
Praise him, all creatures here below!
Praise him above, ye neavenly choir!
O may his praise my soul inspire!

Thanksgiving for National Prosperity.

1 HOW rich thy gifts, Almighty King!
From Thee our public blessings spring:
The extended trade, the fruitful skies,
The treasures liberty bestows,
The eternal joys the gospel shows,

All from thy boundless goodness rise.

2 Here commerce spreads the wealthy store, Which pours from every foreign shore; Science and art their charms display; Religion teaches us to raise

Our voices to our Maker's praise,

As truth and conscience point the way.

3 With grateful hearts, with joyful tongues,
To God we raise united songs:

Here still may God in mercy reign;
Crown our just counsels with success,
With peace and joy our borders bless,
And all our sacred rights maintain.

Thanksgiving for Divine Mercy.

1 SOVEREIGN Lord of light and glory!
Author of our mortal frame!
Joyfully we bow before thee,
And extol thy holy name:
Hallelujah! Ever sacred be the theme!

2 Kind Dispenser of each blessing
Which surrounds the human race!
May we, gratefully possessing,

Still adore thy boundless grace:
Hallelujah! Praise to God, immortal praise!

3 Thus, with humble adoration,

We attend before thy throne;
And with graceful exultation

Thine abundant mercy own:
Hallelujah! Praise belongs to Thee alone!

4 In thy every dispensation,

Love and mercy we descry!
Thou, the God of our salvation,
To preserve us still art nigh:
Hallelujah! Glory be to God on high.

All Creatures invoked to praise God.

1 PRAISE the Lord! ye heavens adore him;
Praise him, angels in the height;
Sun and moon, rejoice before him;
Praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise the Lord, for he hath spoken;
Worlds his mighty voice obey'd;
Laws, which never can be broken,
For their guidance he hath made.
2 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,
Praise and magnify his name.

1 HOLY, holy, holy Lord,
Be thy glorious name ador'd;
Lord thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!

2 Though unworthy, Lord! thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.

3 While on earth ordain'd to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way;
Then on high we'll joyful raise
Songs of everlasting praise.

4 Lord! thy mercies never fail;
Hail, celestial goodness hail!
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Be thy glorious name ador'd.

Triumph over Death, in hope of the Resurrection.

1 AND must this body die,

This mortal frame decay?

And must these active limbs of mine
Lie mouldering in the clay?
Yes, death will lay me low,
And hold this mortal flesh,
Till my triumphant spirit comes
To put it on afresh.

2 Christ, my Redeemer lives,
And often from the skies
Looks down, and watches all my dust
Till he shall bid it rise.
Up-rais'd by sovereign grace,
Shall these frail bodies shine,
And every form and every face
Look heavenly and divine.

3 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love:

We would adore his grace below,
And sing his power above.
Dear Lord, accept the praise

Of these our humble songs,

Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues.

PRAISE God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above ye heavenly choir;
O! may his praise our souls inspire.

PRAISE God, the sovereign King,
For life's immortal word;

Let the redeemed shout, and sing
Their Saviour and their God.

PRAISE, O praise the God of love;
Praise the Saviour from above;

Praise the Spirit of his grace;
Praise him, all ye ransom'd race.

NOW to the God of love,
Whose mercies still endure ;
The Saviour from above,
Who taught devotion pure;
Be endless praise, and glory given,
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
