y filled
Of thy majestic sway."
4 Th' apostles' glorious company,
And prophets, crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.
5 The holy church throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses thee--
That thou eternal Father art
Of boundless majesty.

God of our Salvation.
1 Praise to thee, thou great Creator;
Praise be thine from every tongue;
Join, my soul, with every creature,
Join the universal song.
2 Father, source of all compassion,
Free, unbounded grace is thine:
Hail the God of our salvation;
Praise him for his love divine.
3 For ten thousand blessings given,
For the hope of future joy,
Sound his praise through earth and heaven,
Sound Jehovah's praise on high.
4 Joyfully on earth adore him,
'Till in heaven our song we raise;
There, enraptured, fall before him,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

1 All, from the sun's uprise,

Filled with celestial flame.
His sons we are;
Sheep by him led,
Preserved and fed
With tender care.
3 O to his portals press
In your divine resorts:
With thanks his power profess,
And praise him in his courts.
How good! How pure!
His mercies last;
His promise past,
Forever sure.
167. C. M. M. Rayner.

And joys that never end;
In whom all creatures live and move:
Creator, Father, Friend.
2 All space is with thy presence crowned:
Creation owns thy care;
Each spot in nature's ample round,
