1 To God, the only wise,

Our Savior and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.

2 By his unfailing love,

His counsel, and his care,
Displayed in mercy from above,
He guards from every snare.
3 He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.

4 There all his numerous sons
Shall meet around his throne,
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.

5 To God, the only wise,
All majesty belongs;

And be his power and grace adored
In everlasting songs!

HYMN 124. H. M. [# or b]

Confidence in God.

1 UPWARD I lift mine eyes;
From God is all my aid,-
The God that built the skies,
And earth and nature made:

God is the Tower

To which I fly;
His grace is nigh
In every hour.

2 My feet shall never slide,
And fall in fatal snares,

Since God, my Guard and Guide,
Defends me from my fears:
Those wakeful eyes,

That never sleep,
Shall Israel keep
When dangers rise.

3 No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air,
Shall take my health away
If God be with me there:
Thou art my Sun,
And thou my Shade,
To guard my head
By night or noon.

4 Hast thou not given thy word
To save my soul from death?
And I can trust my Lord
To keep my mortal breath:
I'll go and come,

Nor fear to die,

Till from on high

Thou call me home.

HYMN 125. S. M. [#]

Praise for Mercies.

10 BLESS the Lord, our souls,
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.

2 'Tis he forgives our sins;
'Tis he relieves our pain;
"Tis he that heals our sicknesses,
And gives us strength again.
3 He crowns our lives with love,
When rescued from the grave;
He, who redeems our souls from death,
From every ill can save.

4 He fills the poor with good

He gives the sufferers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And grace for the oppressed.

4 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known,

But sent the world his truth and grace
By his anointed Son.

HYMN 126. L. M.

Sabbatic Rest.

[#]

I LORD of the Sabbath, hear our vows,
On this thy day, in this thy house;
And let our songs and worship rise
Like grateful incense to the skies.
