wide world's wondrous story With light and life since E-den's dawning day.

2 O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children

In all the ages, with the Fire and Cloud,

Through seas, dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering;

To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.

3 O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace, and Savior,
To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior,
And calming passion's wild and stormy gales.

4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-Giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase:
From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace.

5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we, that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

3 Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee;

Lo, all things serve Thee through Thy whole creation:
Hear us, Almighty, hear us as we raise Thee
Heart's adoration.

4 To the almighty triune God be glory:

Highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;
We, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy,
Now and for ever.

H. Smart, 1867

Praise the Rock of our sal va- tion, Laud His name from zone to zone;

[blocks in formation]

On that rock the Church is build-ed, Christ him-self the corner-stone;

[blocks in formation]
[blocks in formation]

on Winds and wa-ters, fire and hail;

I

her midst; a-gainst her Sin and hell shall not prevail.

2 Built of living stones, cemented
By the Spirit's unity,

Based on prophets and apostles,
Firm in faith and stayed on Thee,
May Thy Church, O Lord Incarnate,
Grow in grace, in peace, in love;
Emblem of the heavenly Zion,
The Jerusalem above.

3 Where Thou reignest, King of Glory,
Throned in everlasting light,
Midst Thy saints, no more is needed
Sun by day, nor moon by night:
Soon may we those portals enter
When this earthly strife is o'er;
There to dwell with saints and angels,
In Thy presence evermore.
