Repentance
And inquire, from what quarter they came ? My full heart it replies, They are born from the skies, And gives glory to God and the Lamb. 10 All honour and praise To the Father of grace, To the Spirit, and Son, I return ! The business pursue, He hath made me to do, And rejoice that I ever was born. For Relievers Rejoicing. 22o 11 In a rapture of joy My life I employ, The God of my life to proclaim ; 'Tis worth living for this, To administer bliss And salvation in Jesus's name. 12 My remnant of days ] spend in his praise, Who died the whole world to redeem : Be they many or few, My days are his due, And they all are devoted to him. 1 VTOUNG men and maidens, raise A Your tuneful voices high ; Old men and children, praise The Lord of earth and sky ; Him Three in One, and One in Three, Extol to all eternity. 2 The universal King Let all the world proclaim ; Let every creature sing His attributes and name ! Him Three in One, and One in Three, Extol to all eternity. 3 In his great name alone All excellencies meet, Who sits upon the throne, And shall for ever sit : Him Three in One, and One in Three, Extol to all eternity. 4 Glory to God belongs ; Glory to God be given, Above the noblest songs Of all in earth or heaven ! Him Three in One, and One in Three, Extol to all eternity. ^I2o For Believers Rejoicing. HYMN 233. 7's. 1 TTAPPY man whom God cloth aid ! -*■ -*- God our souls and bodies made ; God on us, in gracious showers, Blessings every moment pours ; Compasses with angel-bands, Bids them bear us in their hands ; Parents, friends, 'twas God bestow'd ; Life, and all, descend from God. 2 He this flowery carpet spread, Made the earth on which we tread ; God refreshes in the air ; Covers with the clothes we wear ; Feeds us with the food we eat ; Cheers us by his light and heat ; Makes his sun on us to shine ; All our blessings are divine !
