1. God is love; his mercy brightens
All the path in which we move;
Bliss he grants, and woe he lightens :
God is light and God is love.
2. E'en the hour that darkest seemeth,
His unchanging goodness proves;
From the mist his brightness streameth:
God is light and God is love.
3. He our earthly cares entwineth
With his comforts from above;
Everywhere his glory shineth:
God is light and God is love.
1. I SING the mighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise;
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
2. I sing the wisdom that ordain'd
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at his command,
And all the stars obey.
3. I sing the goodness of the Lord, That fill'd the earth with food:
He form'd the creatures with his word,
And then pronounced them good.
4. There's not a plant or flower below.
But makes thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from thy throne.
1. ALMIGHTY God, thy piercing eye
Strikes through the shades of night,
And our most secret actions lie
All open to thy sight.
2. There's not a sin that we commit,
Nor wicked word we say,
But in thy dreadful book 'tis writ
Against the judgment-day.
3. And must the crimes that I have done
Be read and publish'd there?
Be all exposed before the sun,
While men and angels hear?
4. Lord, at thy feet ashamed I lie,
Upward I dare not look;
Pardon my sins before I die,
And blot them from thy book.
5. Remember all the dying pains
That my Redeemer felt,
And let his blood wash out my stains
And answer for my guilt.
1. BLESS, O my soul, the living God,
Call home try thoughts that rove abroad,
Let all the powers within me join
In work and worship so divine.
2. Bless, O my soul, the God of grace:
His favours claim thy highest praise:
Why should the wonders he hath wrought
Be lost in silence and forgot?
3. 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done:
He owns the ransom, and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives.
4. Let the whole earth his power confess,
Let the whole earth adore his grace:
The Gentile with the Jew shall join
In work and worship so divine.
1. ONCE more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To Him who rules the skies.
2. 'Tis he supports my mortal frame:
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
3. Great God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a peaceful night.
1. COME, sound his praise abroa 1,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.
2. He form'd the deeps unknown,
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.
3. Come, worship at his throne;
Come, bow before the Lord:
We are his work, and not our own,
He form'd us by his word.
4. To-day attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

1. SING, my soul, His wondrous love,
Who, from yon bright world above,
Ever watchful o'er our race,
Still to man extends his grace:
Sing, my soul, his wondrous love.
2. Heaven and earth by him were made, He by all must be obey'd;
What are we, that he should show
So much love to us below?
Sing, my soul, his wondrous love.
3. God, thus merciful and good,
Bought us with a Saviour's blood,
And, to make our safety sure,
Guides us by his Spirit pure:
Sing, my soul, his wondrous love.
4 Sing, my soul, adore his name,
Let his glory be thy theme;
Praise him till he calls thee home,
Trust his love for all to come:
Praise, oh, praise the God of love.
1. POOR and needy though I be,
God, my Maker, cares for me;
Gives me clothing, shelter, food,
Gives me all I have of good.
2. He will listen when I pray,
He is with me night and day,
When I sleep and when I wake,
Keeps me safe for Jesus' sake.
3. He who reigns above the sky
Once became as poor as I;
He whose blood for me was shed
Had not where to lay his head.
4. Though I labour here a while,
He will bless me with his smile;
And when this short life is past,
I shall rest with him at last.
1. LORD, thou hast search'd and seen me
Thine eye commands, with piercing view,
