BHis power and
His power and might revealing;
The voice of the archangel hear,
To earth's far corners pealing:
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
From sea and land a countless store;
The quick are called to meet him.
The holy angel host attend
Their lord and king surrounding:
The saints which slept in Christ ascend,
In blifsful peace abounding;
No gloomy thoughts their souls dismay,
His presence sheds eternal day
On all prepared to meet him.
But unbelievers, filled with fears,
Remorse their hearts afsailing,
Come forth to learn that now their tears
And cries are unavailing :
Shame and contempt upon their head,
Their righteous judge they justly dread;
With trembling they shall meet him.
Thanksgiving, Lord, to thee we raise,
True faith and hope professing;
Thou art our God, and thee we praise,
Unfeigned love exprefsing:.
Thou art our blest redeemer Lord,
Our sure exceeding great reward,
Our crown and high rejoicing. Amen.
LORY to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, king of kings.
Beneath thine own almighty wings.
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done ;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
Teach me to live that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
To die, that this vile body may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
my soul on thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
If in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, angelick host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
GOD, through countless ages king,
And wondrous in thy sovereign ways,
To thee let all thy children bring
An evening sacrifice of praise.
Great cause, most blessed Lord, have we
To close the day with thankful voice;
And, lifting high the heart to thee,
In thine eternal love rejoice.
With thoughtful, never failing care
Thou daily dost our life sustain :
Through thee redemption's grace we share,
Salvation's hope through thee we gain.
For thousand tender mercies past,
And joys which now thy gifts afford, And pleasures that shall ever last,
Be thou, blest Trinity, adored. Amen.
