HYMN 8. Second Part. L.M.
The triune God, the God of our salvation. (cont.)

3	Immanuel to the choice agreed, And thus secur'd a niim'rous seed.
4	He sends his Spirit from above To call the objects of his love; Not one shall perish nor be lost: He bought them dear; his blood they cost.
5	What high displays of sov'reign grace! What love to save a ruin'd race! My soul, adore his lovely name, By whom thy free salvation came.

HYMN 8. Third Part. C.M.
A song of praise to the Holy Trinity.

1	LET them neglect thy glory, Lord,    Who never knew thy grace; But our loud songs shall still record    The wonders of thy praise.
2	We raise our shouts, O God, to thee,    And send them to thy throne; All glory to th' united Three,    The undivided One.
3	'Twas he, (and we'll adore his name)    That form'd us by a word; 'Tis he, restores our ruin'd frame;    Salvation to the Lord!
4	Hosanna! let the earth and skies    Repeat the joyful sound; Rocks, hills and vales reflect the voice    In one eternal round.

HYMN 9. First Part. L.M.
God the Father, the almighty Creator.

1	ALMIGHTY God we praise, and own Thee our Creator, King alone; All things were made to honour thee, O Father of eternity!

HYMN 9. First Part. L.M.
God the Father, the almighty Creator. (cont.)

2	To thee all angels loudly cry, The heav'ns and all the pow'rs on high, Cherubs and seraphims proclaim, And cry, thrice holy to thy name.
3	Lord God of hosts, thy presence bright Fills heav'n and earth with beauteous light; Th' apostles' happy company, And ancient prophets all praise thee.
4	The crowned martyrs' noble host, The holy church in ev'ry coast, Their Maker, for their Father own, Now reconcil'd in Christ his Son.

HYMN 9. Second Part. C.M.
Creation.

1	LORD, when our raptur'd thought surveys    Creation's beauties o'er, All nature joins to teach thy praise.    And bid our souls adore.
2	Where'er we turn our gazing eyes,    Thy radiant footsteps shine; Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,    And speak their source divine.
3	The living tribes of countless forms,    In earth, and sea, and air. The meanest flies, the smallest worms,    Almighty pow'r declare.
4	Thy wisdom, pow'r, and goodness, Lord,    In all thy works appear: And, O! let man thy praise record,    Man, thy distinguished care.
5	From thee the breath of life he drew;    That breath thy pow'r maintains: Thy tender mercy, ever new,    His brittle frame sustains.
