10 PRAISE ye the Lord,
Prepare your glad voice,
His praise in the great
Assembly to sing:
In their great Creator
Let all men rejoice,
And heirs of salvation
Be glad in their King.
2 With glory adorned,
His people shall sing
To God, who defence
And plenty supplies;
Their loud acclamations
To him their Great King,
Through earth shall be sounded,
And reach to the skies.

TATE.

1 THY name, Almighty Lord,

WATTS.

Shall sound through distant lands;
Great is thy grace, and sure thy word;

Thy truth forever stands.

2 Far be thine honor spread,

And long thy praise endure,

Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchanged no more.

WATTS.

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suus shall rise and set no more.

X. THE GLORIOUS FUTURE.

P. M.

A. BALLOU.

1 GOD shall be all in all:—

And then shall marshalled warriors,
No more upon the plain,

Renew their battle fury,
To multiply the slain;
Then shall the peaceful era,
By Zion's bards foretold,
With all its promised glory,
The ransomed world enfold.

2 God shall be all in all :

And then the horrid slaver
Shall cross the waves no more,
Defenceless men to ravish
From Afric's injured shore;
And all the sable millions,
In bondage held abroad,
Present the grateful tribute,
To their Redeeming God.

3 God shall be all in all —

The church, long torn with faction,
Will lay each quarrel by,

And all her jealous watchmen,

See clearly eye to eye;

Attired in bridal garments,

She'll take her Lord's right hand,

And free from spot or wrinkle,

Fulfil his high command.

4 God shall be all in all :-
And then shall dark rebellion
Against his holy throne

Be hushed in endless silence,
Where'er his name is known;
The all-prevailing Victor
Will make an end of sins,
And only yield his sceptre,
When perfect love begins.

1 ROLL on, O Lord, the latter day,
When grace shall reign alone;
And all the nations of the world,
Shall bow before thy throne.

2 Then shall pure converts crowd to Christ, And bless the gospel sound;

While grace eternal sweetly shines,
To ravish all around.

3 Then shall the watchmen of the Lamb,
Exalt the cross on high;
And with a clear refulgent light,

Shall all see eye to eye.

4 Thus shall the glorious gospel fly;
To sound the Savior forth;

Till faith, and love, and joys divine,
Shall run through all the earth.

5 Then war shall cease, and wrath subside, peace immortal flow;

And

And saints unite in joy and peace,
And glory reign below.

1 MARK the soft falling snow,
And the descending rain!

Doddridge.

To heaven, from whence it fell,
It turns not back again;
But waters earth,
Through every pore,
And calls forth all
Her secret store.

2 Arrayed in beauteous green,
The hills and vallies shine,
And man and beast are fed
By providence divine;
The harvest bows
Its golden ears,
The copious seed

Of future years.

3 So, saith the God of grace,
My gospel shall descend,
Almighty to effect

The purpose I intend ;
Millions of souls
Shall feel its power,
And bear it down

To millions more.

RIPPON'S COL.

1 LORD, let the gospel tidings spread
The spacious earth around,

Till every tribe and every soul
Shall hear the joyful sound?
