Ie@ HYMNS.CL. HYMN CL. The sane a; the cxlviiith Psalm. 1 JOIN all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and pow'r, That ever mortals knew That angels ever bore All are too mean To speak his worth, Too mean to set My Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle terms, What condescending ways Doth our Redeemer use To teach bis heav'nly grace ! Mine eyes withjoy And wonder see What forms of love Ile bears for me. 3 (Array'd in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commission'd from His Father's throne, To make his grace To mortals known.) 4 (Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless thy name; By thee thé joyful news Of our salvhtion came ; The joyful news Of sins forgiv'n Of hell subdn'd, And peace with hoax's.) 5 (Be thou mÿ Counsellor, My Pattern and my Guide; And thro' this desert land Still keep me near thy side O let my feet Ne'e run astray, Nor rove, nor seek The crooked way. 6 (I love my Shepherd's voice, , His watchful eyes shall keep My wand'ring soul among The thousands of his sheep : He feeds his flock, He calls their names, His bosom bears.
