Till heaven's wide arch repeat the sound--
The general burst of joy.

A Call to Praise.

1 O praise ye the Lord--prepare a new song,
And let all his saints in full concert join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his praises with music divine.

2 Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend;
Let each grateful heart be glad in its King;
The God whom we worship our songs will attend,
And view with complacence the offering we bring.

3 Be joyful, ye saints sustained by his might,
And let your glad songs awake with each morn;
For those who obey him are still his delight--
His hand with salvation the meek will adorn.

4 Then praise ye the Lord--prepare a glad song,
And let all his saints in full concert join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his praises with music divine.

163. L. M. Watts.

Universal Praise.

1 Wide as his vast dominion lies,
Make the Creator's name be known;
Loud as his thunders speak his praise,
And sound it lofty as his throne.

2 Jehovah!--'tis a glorious word;
O may it dwell on every tongue;
But saints, who best have known the Lord,
Are bound to raise the noblest song.

3 Speak of the wonders of that love
Which Gabriel plays on every chord;
From all below, and all above,
Loud hallelujahs to the Lord.

164. C. M. Patrick.

Te Deum.

1 O God, we praise thee, and confess,
That thou the only Lord
And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored.

2 To thee all angels cry aloud--
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry--

3 "O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory 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.

165. 8s. & 7s. M. Fawcett.
