2 THE OLD HUNDREDTH L. M.

4

1. All peo-ple that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheer-ful voice;

Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, Come ye be-fore Him, and re-joice. A-MEN.

2 The Lord ye know is God indeed;

Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. 3 O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto.

3 LOUVAN L. M.

Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why, the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

William Kethe, 16th C.

Virgil C. Taylor, 1847

1. Lord of all be-ing, thron'd a - far, Thy glo- ry flames from sun and star;

bb4

Cen-tre and soul of ev-'ry sphere, Yet to each lov-ing heart how near. A-MEN.

2 Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray Sheds on our path the glow of day; Star of our hope, Thy softened light Cheers the long watches of the night,

3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign; All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed
He brought us to His fold again.

3 We are His people, we His care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy name?

4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.

5 Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;

Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

1. Holy, holy, ho ly! Lord God Al-might- y!

Early in the

morn-ing our song shall rise to Thee;

Holy, holy, holy!

mer-ci-ful and might-y! God in Three Persons, bless-ed Trin-i - ty! A-MEN.

2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity,

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!

God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
