Who shall ascend the heavenly place,
And stand upon the mount of God,
And see his Maker face to face ?
4 The man whose hands and heart are clean
That blessed portion shall receive ;
Whoe'er by grace is saved from sin,
Hereafter shall in glory live.
5 He shall obtain the starry crown ;
And, number' d with the saints above.
The God of his salvation own,
The God of his salvation love
Hymns of Adoration. 535
HYMN 573. s. m
Public Worship.
1 OOME, sound his praise abroad,
^-^ And hymns of glory sing ;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.
2 He form'd the deeps unknown ;
He gave the seas their bound ;
The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.
3 Come, worship at his throne ;
Come, bow before the Lord :
We are his works, and not our own ;
He form'd us by his word.
4 To-day attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod ;
Come, as the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.
HYMN 574, 6-8\s.
Psalm lxxxiv.
1 TTOW lovely are thy tents, O Lord !
X J. Where'er thou choosest to record
Thy name, or place thy house of prayer,
My soul outflies the angel -choir,
And faints, o'erpower'd with strong desire,
To meet thy special presence there.
2 Happy the men to whom 'tis given,
To dwell within that gate of heaven,
And in thy house record thy praise ;
Whose strength and confidence thou art,
Who feel thee, Saviour, in their heart.
The Wav, the Truth, the Life of grace :
536 Hymns of Adoration.
3 Who, passing through the mournful vale,
Drink comfort from the living well,
That flows replenish'd from above ;
From strength to strength advancing here,
Till all before their God appear,
And each receives the crown of love,
4 Better a day thy courts within
Than thousands in the tents of sin ;
How base the noblest pleasures there !
How great the weakest child of thine !
His meanest task is all divine,
And kings and priests thy servants are.
5 The Lord protects and cheers his own,
Their light and strength, their shield and sun
He shall both grace and glory give :
Unlimited his bounteous grant ;
No real good they e'er shall want ;
