Father of all! thy care we bless,
Father of light! conduct my feet,
Father of light! my footsteps guide,
Father of light! we sing thy name,
Father of mercies! God of love!
Father of mercies! in thy word,
Father of our feeble race!

Far from mortal cares retreating,
Far from these scenes of night,
Far from the world, O Lord! I flee,
Fountain of blessing! ever bless'd,
Frail life of man! how short its stay,
From north and south, from east and west,
From this world's joys and senseless mirth,

Doddridge.

Happy the meek whose gentle heart,
Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound,
Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!

I'll bless Jehovah's glorious name!
I'l praise my Maker whilst I've breath,

[blocks in formation]

Let party names no more,

Imposture shrinks from light,

In all thy dealings, gracious God,
Indulgent God! with pitying eye,
In glad amazement, Lord! I stand,
In sleep's serene oblivion laid,
In the soft season of thy youth,
Jehovah, God! thy gracious power,
Jehovah reigns! let every nation hear,
Jesus, our triumphant head,
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun,
Keep silence, all created things!
Lauded be thy name for ever!
Let coward guilt, with pallid fear,

Let one loud song of praise arise,

Let songs of praise from all below,
Let the whole race of creatures lie,
Life is a span, a fleeting hour,

Life is the time to serve the Lord,
Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,

Lift your voice, and joyful sing,
Like shadows gliding o'er the plain,
Lo! God is here, let us adore,

Merrick.

Lo! I behold the scattered shades,
Long have I sat beneath the sound,

Lord of life! all praise excelling,
Lord of the Sabbath! hear our vows,

Lord of the worlds above!
