An ocean wide without a bound,
Where every noble wish is drowned,
And every want is filled.

3 To thee my warm affections move,
In sweet astonishment and love,
While at thy feet I fall :

I pant for nought beneath the skies;
To thee my ardent wishes rise,
O my eternal All!

HYMN 406. C. M. [#]
Spiritual and eternal Joy.

1 FROM thee, O God, my joys shall rise,
And run eternal rounds,
Beyond the limits of the skies,
And all created bounds.

2 The holy triumphs of my soul
Shall death itself outbrave,
Leave dull mortality behind,
And fly beyond the grave.

3 There, where my glorious Saviour reigns, In heaven's unmeasured space,

I'll spend a long eternity

In pleasure and in praise.

4 Millions of years my wondering eyes

Shall o'er thy beauties rove,

And endless ages I'll adore
The glories of thy love.

HYMN 407. C. M. [#]

Exulting in God's Praise.

1 My soul shall bless thee, O my God,
Through all my mortal days,
And to eternity prolong

Thy vast, thy boundless praise.

2 In each bright hour of peace and hope,
Be this my sweet employ;
Thy praise refines my earthly bliss,
And doubles all my joy.

3 When gloomy care, or keen distress,
Invades my throbbing breast,
My tongue shall learn to speak thy praise,
And soothe my pains to rest.

4 Nor shall my tongue alone proclaim
The honours of my God;

My life, with all my active powers,
Shall spread his praise abroad.

5 When death is past, in purer strains
My grateful praise I'll pay;

The theme demands a nobler song,
And an eternal day.

HYMN 408. L. M. [#]

A Call to universal and fervent Praise.

1 PRAISE ye the Lord! let praise employ,
In his own courts, your songs of joy ;
The spacious firmament again
Shall echo back the joyful strain.

2 Awake the trumpet's piercing sound,
To spread your sacred pleasure round;
And let the cymbal, sounding high,
To softer, deeper notes reply;

3 Let all whom life and breath inspire
Attend and join the blissful choir ;
Harmonious, let the concert rise,
And bear the rapture to the skies.

HYMN 409. S. M. [#]

Song of Moses and the Lamb.

1 AWAKE, and sing the

song

Of Moses and the Lamb;

Wake every heart and every tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of his dying love;

Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those whose sins he bore.

3 Sing till

ye feel your hearts Ascending with your tongues; Sing till the love of sin departs, And grace inspires your songs. 4 Soon shall ye hear him say,

Ye ransomed children, come; Soon will he call you hence away, And take his wanderers home.

HYMN 410. S. M. [#]

Christian Hope and Joy.

1 CHRISTIANS, dismiss your fear,
Let hope and joy succeed;
The welcome news with gladness hear;
The Lord is risen indeed!

2 The shades of death withdrawn,
His eyes their beams display;
So wakes the sun, when rosy dawn
Unbars the gates of day.

3 Angelic hosts above

The rising victor sing,

And all the blissful seats of love

With loud hosannas ring.

4 Ye pilgrims, too, below,

Your hearts and voices raise;
Let every breast with gladness glow,
And every mouth be praise.

HYMN 411. 10 & 11s. M. [#]

Praise and Exultation.

1 O PRAISE ye the Lord; prepare a new song, And let all his saints in full concert join; With voices united the anthem prolong,

And show forth his praises with music divine. 2 Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend; Let each grateful heart be glad in its King; The God whom we worship our songs will attend, And view with complacence the offering we bring.

3 Be joyful, ye saints, sustained by his might, And let your glad song awake with each morn; For those who obey him are still his delight;

His hand with salvation the meek will adorn. 4 Then praise ye the Lord; prepare a glad song, And let all his saints in full concert join; With voices united the anthem prolong, And show forth his praises with music divine.

HYMN 412. S. M. [#]

Rejoicing in the Hope set before us.

1 Now let our voices join

To form a sacred song;
Ye pilgrims, in Jehovah's ways,
With music pass along.

2 The flowers of paradise

In rich profusion spring;
The Sun of glory gilds the path,
And dear companions sing.

3 See Salem's golden spires

In beauteous prospect rise;
And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
Which sparkle through the skies.

4 All honour to his name,

Who marks the shining way;

To him, who leads the wanderers on
To realms of endless day!
