To every heart of man :
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness,
In all our bosoms reign.
4 The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin,
The joy that human thought transcends,
Into our souls bring in :
5 The kingdom of establish'd peace,
Which can no more remove ;
The perfect power of Godliness,
The' omnipotence of Love.

1 /^OME, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
V_y One God in Persons Three,
Bring back the heavenly blessing, lost
By all mankind and me.
For Believers Rejoicing. 243
2 Thy favour, and thy nature too,
To me, to all restore ;
Forgive, and after God renew,
And keep us evermore.
3 Eternal Sun of Righteousness,
Display thy beams divine,
And cause the glories of thy face
Upon my heart to shine.
4 Light in thy light O may I see,
Thy grace and mercy prove ;
Revived, and cheer'd, and bless'd by thee,
The God of pardoning love.
5 Lift up thy countenance serene,
And let thy happy child
Behold, without a cloud between,
The Godhead reconciled !
6 That all-comprising peace bestow
On me, through grace forgiven ;
The joys of holiness below,
And then the joys of heaven !

■*- In whom we are, and move,

While earth repeats the joyful song,
And echoes through the sky.
^44 For Believers Rejoicing.
3 Incarnate Deity,
Let all the ransom' d race
Render in thanks their lives to thee,
For thy redeeming grace.

Ye heavenly choirs proclaim,
And cry, " Salvation to our God,
Salvation to the Lamb ! "
5 Spirit of Holiness,
Let all thy saints adore
Thy sacred energy, and bless
Thine heart-renewing power.
(I Not angel- tongues can tell
Thy love's ecstatic height,
The glorious joy unspeakable,
The beatific sight !
7 Eternal, Triune Lord !
Let all the hosts above,
Let all the sons of men, record
And dwell upon thy love.
8 When heaven and earth are fled
Before thy glorious face,
Sing all the saints thy love hath made
Thine everlasting praise !
