3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song ; And infant-voices shall proclaim Their young Hosannas to his name. 4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains ; The weary find eternal rest ; And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where he displays his healing power, Death and the curse are known no more : Jn him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. 634 The Kingdom s 6 Let every creature rise, and bring Its grateful honours to our King ; Angels descend with songs again, And earth prolong the joyful strain. HYMN 698. l. m. Psalm xix. 1 rT^HE heavens declare thy glory, Lord, ■*- In every star thy wisdom shines ; But when our eyes behold thy word, We read thy name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And night and day, thy power confess ; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand ; So when thy truth began its race, It touch'd and glanced on every land. 4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world thy truth has run ; Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light or feel the sun. 5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise, Bless the dark world with heavenly light : Thy gospel makes the simple wise ; Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right. HYMN 699. 8's. Psalm cxvii. 1 T^ROM all that dwell below the skies, -J- Let the Creator's praise arise : of Christ 635 Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Through every land, by every tongue. 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ; Eternal truth attends thy word : Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more. 3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring ; In songs of praise divinely sing ; The great salvation loud proclaim, And shout for joy the Saviour's name. 4 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ; Praise him, all creatures here below ; Praise him above, ye heavenly host ; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !
