Put forth the strength that he hath granted;
Your noblest work is to adore.

O soul and body, make ye meet
With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet.

3 Ye forest-leaves so green and tender,
That dance for joy in summer air;
Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender;
Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair :
Ye live to show his praise alone;
Help me to make his glory known.

4 O all things that have breath and motion, That throng with life earth, sea, and sky,

Now join me in my heart's devotion,
Help me to raise his praises high.
My utmost powers can ne'er aright
Declare the wonders of his might.

The darkness falls at thy behest;
To thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.

2 We thank thee that thy Church, unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night.

Moredun. I2S, IOS. [WITH HYMN 691 ONLY.]

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; Bow down before him, his glory pro-claim;

Gold of 0- bedience and in-cense of low-liness Bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

691.

I WORSHIP the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
Bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
Bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
High on his heart he will bear it for thee;
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

3 Fear not to enter his courts, in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, -
These are the offerings to lay at his shrine.

4 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
Bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
Bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

our rest.

3 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.

4 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away,
But stand, and rule, and grow forever,
Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

What-e'er my God or-dains is right, Ho ly his will a bid eth; will be still, whate'er he doth, And follow where he guid - eth.

I WHATE'ER my God ordains is right,

Holy his will abideth;

I will be still, whate'er he doth,
And follow where he guideth.
He is my God;

Though dark my road,

He holds me that I shall not fall,
Wherefore to him I leave it all.

2 Whate'er my God ordains is right,
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path,
I know he will not leave me,
And take content
What he hath sent;

His hand can turn my grief away,
And patiently I wait his day.

St. Sebastian.

3 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup in drinking
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it all unshrinking :
Tears pass away
With dawn of day :

Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.

4 Whate'er my God ordains is right,
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;
My father's care

Is round me there;

He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to him I leave it all.
