To worship God aright : 2 To praise a Trinity adored By all the hosts above ; And one thrice-holy God and Lord Through endless ages love. 3 Triumphant host ! they never cease To laud and magnify The triune God of Holiness, Whose glory fills the sky : 4 Whose glory to this earth extends, When God himself imparts, And the whole Trinity descends Into our faithful hearts. 5 By faith the upper choir we meet ; And challenge them to sing Jehovah, on his shining seat, Our Maker and our King. 6 But God made flesh is wholly ours, And asks our nobler strain ; The Father of celestial powers, The Friend of earth-born man ! 7 Ye seraphs, nearest to the throne, With rapturous amaze On us, poor ransom'd worms, look down For heaven's superior praise. 8 The King, whose glorious face ye see, For us his crown resign'd ; That fulness of the Deity, He died for all mankind ! ^02 J?or Believers Rejoicing. *HYMN 263. cm. 1 T^ATHER, how wide thy glory shines ! *- How high thy wonders rise ! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. l2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power ; Their motions speak thy skill ; And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 Part of thy name divinely stands On all thy creatures writ ; They show the labour of thy hands, Or impress of thy feet. 4 But when we view thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where vengeance and compassion join In their divinest forms ; 5 Here the whole Deity is known, Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice, or the grace. 6 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains ! Bright seraphs learn Immanuers name. And try their choicest strains. 7 O ! may I bear some humble part In that immortal song ! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart And love command my tongue.
