BOOK III.
PRAISE.
349

5 We praise thee, and would praise tliee more ;
To thee our all we owe,
The precious Saviour, and the power
That makes him precious too.

Grace and Providence. C.

 
1 ALMIGHTY King ! whose wondrous hand
Supports the weight of sea and land,
Whose grace is such a boundless store
No heart shall break that sighs for more,

2 Thy providence supplies my food,
And tis thy blessing makes it good ;
My soul is nourish d by thy word
Let soul and body praise the Lord.

3 My streams of outward comfort came
From him, who built this earthly frame ;
Whate er I want his bounty gives,
By whom my soul for ever lives.

4 Either his hand preserves from pain,
Or, if I feel it, heals again ;
From Satan s malice shields my breast,
Or over-rules it for the best.

5 Forgive the song that falls so low
Beneath the gratitude I owe !
It means thy praise, however poor,
An angel s song can do no more.

82.
Praise for redeeming Love.

 
1 LET us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Saviour s name!
He has hush d the Law s loud thunder,
He has quench d mount Sinai s flame:
He has wash d us with his blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.

2 Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
