A Holy God. Ps. 99.

1Exalt the Lord our God,

And worship at his feet;

His nature is all holiness,

And mercy is his seat.

2When Israel was his church,

When Aaron was his priest,

When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,

He gave his people rest.

3Oft he forgave their sins,

Nor would destroy their race;

And oft he made his vengeance known,

When they abused his grace.

4Exalt the Lord our God,

Whose grace is still the same;

Still he's a God of holiness,

And jealous for his name.

God's Condescension.

1O Thou, to whom all creatures bow

Within this earthly frame,

Through all the world how great art thou!

How glorious is thy name!

2When heaven, thy glorious work on high,

Employs my wondering sight,--

The moon, that nightly rules the sky,

With stars of feebler light,--

3Lord, what is man, that he is blessed

With thy peculiar care!

Why on his offspring is conferred

Of love so large a share?

4O Thou, to whom all creatures bow

Within this earthly frame,

Through all the world how great art thou!

How glorious is thy name!
