Behold horv good and joyful a thing it is

It is like the precious ointment upon the

Like as the dew of Hermon ;
which fell
upon the hill of Sion.
For there the Lord promised His blessing;
and life for evermore.

Guide me O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land

I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me r,rith Thy powerful hand :
Bread of Heaven, (rebeat)
Feed me now and evermore.
Open nor.r'the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing streams do flow :
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey
through :
Strong Deliverer (refeatl
Be thou still my Strength and Shicl.i.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside ;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side r
Songs of praises (refeatl
I rvill ever give to Thee.

47. Hymn
The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun. from dav to dav.
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an Almighty hand.
What though in solemn silence, all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball,
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found ?
In Reason'.s ear thgy a1l rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
For ever singing as they shine,
The hand that made us is divine.
Patriarchal Benediction
(Omnes): " So mote it be."
