By earth and heav'n confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise, and seek the joys At his right hand: I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and pow'r; And him my only portion make, My Shield and Tower. 3 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend; I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, To heav'n ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. 4 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest, A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crowned. 5 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness; Triumphant over the world and sin, The Prince of Peace On Zion's sacred height His kingdom still maintains, And glorious with his saints in light For ever reigns. 6 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; "Hail Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen. Scripture: Jeremiah 33:16 Used With Tune: LEONI

[He walks awhile concealed In a self-flatt'ring dream, Till his dark crimes at once revealed Expose his hateful name.] His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banished from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil He sets his heart, and hand, and head, To practise all that's ill. But there's a dreadful God, Though men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. His truth transcends the sky, In heav'n his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! O never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7

But there's a hastening hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power. 4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgements are a world unknown, A deep, unfathom'd sea. 5 Above the heavens' created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds, Where time and nature end. 6 Safety to man thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy children chuse to rest. 7 [From thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. 8 Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day Where clouds can never rise. Scripture: Psalm 36:9
