HYMN 74. C.M.
Thanksgiving. (cont.)
7 |
Had I ten thousand hearts, dear Lord,
I'd give them all to thee:
Had I ten thousand tongues, they all
Should join the harmony.
|
8 |
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God, whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
|
HYMN 75. C.M.
Hosanna.
1 |
SHOUT and proclaim the Saviour's love,
Ye saints, that taste his wine;
Join with your kindred saints above,
In loud Hosannas join.
|
2 |
A thousand glories to our God,
Who gives such joy as this;
Hosanna! let it sound abroad,
And reach where Jesus is.
|
3 |
To praise the Father, and the Son,
And Spirit all divine,
The One in Three, and Three in One,
Let saints and Angels join.

HYMN 76. C.M.
Frail life, and succeeding eternity.
1 |
THEE we adore, eternal Name!
And humbly own to thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame;
What dying worms are we!
|
2 |
Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As months and days increase;
And ev'ry beating pulse we tell,
Leaves the small number less.
|
3 |
The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath at first it gave;
Whate'er we do, where'er we go,
We're traveling to the grave.
|
4 |
Dangers stand thick thro' all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
|
5 |
Great God! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things!
Th' eternal state of all the dead
Upon life's feeble strings.
|
6 |
Infinite joy or endless woe
Attends on ev'ry breath;
And yet how unconcern'd we go
Upon the brink of death!
