5 Raiser of the dead to life! 6 Op'ner of the prison door! L HYMN 47. C. M. His wisdom writ in fairest lines, KNEELAND. 2 The heav'ns, adorn'd with moon and stars, The day his strong impression bears, 3 Their language through the earth is heard ; Proclaims the cheering, peaceful word, 4 Behold yon glowing, radiant sun, 5 Such is thy law, O God of grace! A law of love, and truth, and peace, 6 Nor shall its moral light grow dim, The present, gentle, rising beam TURNER. WHEN my astonish'd eyes behold My Maker's works, below, above; And read his name in lines of gold, I wonder men don't praise the Lord, my God is Love." 4 Now heav'nly courage I'll put on, And loud proclaim, "My God is Love." 2 HYMN 49. S. M. Christ fairer than men. Ps. xlv. 1,2. And fill my soul with heav'nly love, While I attune my lyre. Help me the joyful theme With pleasure to indite; 3 Ten thousand times more fair 4 Art thou, my Saviour, and my Lord, Into thy lips were pour'd Celestial streams of grace; That thou might plent'ously afford To souls in keen distress. H.BALLOU. 5 God hath anointed thee HYMN 50. L. M. S. STREETER. The True Light, John i. 9, &c. And in his name shall all confess, KNEELAND. TO wand'rers in the dismal road То Which leads to sin's most fatal woe, Religion points the way to God, And gives the peace of heaven below. 2 The slaves to error, the destroy'd, Who neither joy nor comfort know, In iron servitude employ'd, Find in Religion-heaven below. 3 To the opprest, the poor not fed, Who from the rich quite empty go, Religion brings fair Zion's bread, And fills the soul with heav'n below. 4 Those who in riches, fame and pow'r, Nothing but anxious cares can know, Find in Religion's humble bow'r, That peace which makes a heaven below. 5 The sick, the weak, the dying too, Of things which makes a heaven below. TH H. BALLOW. HYMN 52. L. P. M. From Ps. lxxiv. 16, 17. HOU art, O God! the life and light Are but reflections caught from thee. 3 When night, with wings of starry gloom, 4 When youthful spring around us breathes, Sacred Melodies. HYMN 53. C. M. Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. IN the soft season of thy youth, In nature's smiling bloom, Ere we arrive and trembling wait ; 2 Remember thy Creator God; 3 He shall defend and guide thy cause Till thou art landed on the shore 4 Then seek the Lord betimes, and choose The earth affords no lovelier sight Than a religious youth. L HYMN 54. L. M. A Christmas Hymn. Salisbury Coll ET all the powers of music join, Loud anthems to the theme divine, And fill all heaven and earth with praise, 2 To us is born a Son, to reign High on a throne of grace divine, |
