He struck from night thy peerless ray, Marked out thy path, and guides thee there. 3 Ye starry lamps, to whom 'tis given Night's sable horrors to illume, Praise him who hung you high in heaven, With vivid fires to gild the gloom. 4 Lightnings that round Jehovah play, Thunders that from his arm are hurled, The grandeur of your God convey, Blazing, or bursting on the world. 5. At once let nature's ample round To God the vast thanksgiving raise: His high perfection knows no bound, But fills immensity of space.

HYMN 14. 7 & 6's M. [#}·

Praise to Jehovah.

1 PRAISE the Lord, who reigns above,
And keeps his court below;
Praise the holy God of love,

And all his greatness show;
Praise him for his noble deeds;

Praise him for his matchless power;
Him, from whom all good proceeds,
Let heaven and earth adore.

2 Publish, spread to all around
The great Jehovah's name;
Let the trumpet's martial sound
The Lord of hosts proclaim;
Praise him, every tuneful string;
All the reach of heavenly art,

GENERAL PRAISE

All the powers of music, bring,
The music of the heart.

3 Him, in whom they move and live,
Let every creature sing,
Glory to their Maker give,
And homage to their King:
Hallowed be his name beneath;
As in heaven on earth adored;
Praise the Lord in every breath:
Let all things praise the Lord.

HYMN 15. C. M. [#]
Triumphant Praise.

10 FOR a shout of sacred joy
To God the sovereign King!
Let every land their tongues employ,
And hymns of triumph sing.

2 Whilst angels shout his lofty praise,
Let mortals learn their strains;
Let all the earth their voices raise;
O'er all the earth he reigns.

3 Rehearse his praise with awe profound ;
Let knowledge lead the song;
Nor mock him with a solemn sound
Opon a thoughtless tongue.

4 In Israel stood his ancient throne;
He loved that chosen race:

But now he calls the world his own,
And heathens taste his grace.

HYMN 16. H. M. [#]

Grateful Praise.

To your Creator, God,

Your great Preserver, raise,
Ye creatures of his hand,
Your highest notes of praise:
Let every voice
Proclaim his power,
His name adore,

And loud rejoice.

2 Thon source of light and heat,
Bright sovereign of the day,
Dispensing blessings round,
With all-diffusive ray,
From morn to night,
With every beam,
Record his name,

Who made thee bright.

3 Fair regent of the night, With all thy starry train, Which rise, in silent hosts, To gild the azure plain, With countless rays Declare his name, Prolong the theme, Reflect his praise.

4 Let all the creatures join

To celebrate his name,
And all their various powers
Assist the lofty theipe:
