4 Then let me join this holy train,
And my first offerings bring;
Th’ eternal God will not disdain
To hear an infant sing.

5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys,
And angels shall rejoice
To hear their mighty Maker’s praise
Sound from a feeble voice.

Song 2.
Praise for Creation and Providence.

1 I sing th’ almighty 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 Lord, how thy wonders are display’d
Where’er I turn mine eye,
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky.

5 There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from thy throne.

6 Creatures (as num’rous as they be)
Are subject to thy care: 
There’s not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.

7 In heaven he shines with beams of love,
With wrath in hell beneath: 
’Tis on his earth I stand or move,
And ’tis his air I breathe.

8 His hand is my perpetual guard,
He keeps me with his eye: 
Why should I then forget the Lord
Who is for ever nigh?

Song 3.
Praise to God for our Redemption.

1 Blest be the wisdom and the power,
The justice and the grace,
That join’d in council to restore
And save our ruin’d race!

2 Our father eat forbidden fruit,
And from his glory fell;
And we, his children, thus were brought
To death, and near to hell.

3 Blest be the Lord, that sent his Son
To take our flesh and blood;
He for our lives gave up his own,
To make our peace with God.

4 He honour’d all his Father’s laws,
Which we have disobey’d;
He bore our sins upon the cross,
And our full ransom paid.

5 Behold him rising from the grave;
Behold him rais’d on high: 
He pleads his merits there to save
Transgressors doom’d to die.

6 There on a glorious throne, he reigns,
And by his power divine
Redeems us from the slavish chains
Of Satan, and of sin.

7 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come,
And, with a sovereign voice,
Shall call, and break up every tomb,
While waking saints rejoice.

8 O may I then with joy appear
Before the Judge’s face,
And, with the blest assembly there,
Sing his redeeming grace!

Song 4.
Praise for Mercies Spiritual and Temporal.

1 Whene’er I take my walks abroad,
How many poor I see? 
What shall I render to my God
For all his gifts to me?
