2 We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee,

We glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory;

O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.

3 O Lord the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ;

O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world:

Have mercy upon us.

4 Thou that takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us.

5 Thou that takest away the sins of the world, Receive our prayer.

6 Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, Have mercy upon us.

7 For thou only art holy,

Thou only art the Lord.

8 Thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost,

51

Art most high in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

HOU Maker of my vital frame,

THO

Unvail thy face, pronounce thy name;

Shine to my sight, and let the ear

Which thou hast formed, thy language hear:
Divide, ye clouds, and let me see
The Power that gives me leave to be.

2 Where is thy residence? oh! why
Dost thou avoid my searching eye!
Mysterious Being! Great Unknown,
Say, do the clouds conceal thy throne?
Or art thou all diffused abroad,
Through boundless space, a present God?

52

3 Is there not some delightful art
To feel thy presence at my heart?
To hear thy whispers, soft and kind,
In holy silence of the mind?—

Then rest, my thoughts; no longer roam
In quest of joy—for heaven's at home!

BAPTISMAL.

HUS saith the Lord that made thee, and formed

THUS thee, who will help thee,

Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.

2 The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

And his righteousness unto children's children,

3 To such as keep his covenant:

And to those that remember his commandments to do them.

4 One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob;

And another shall subscribe with his hand to the

Lord, and surname himself by the name of
Israel.

5 Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not. Thou, O Lord, art our Father, our Redeemer; from everlasting is thy name.

53

Before the Administration.

BAPTISMAL.

Go all

O ye and teach all nations, baptizing them

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

2 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have

commanded you;

And lo, I am with you alway, even to the end of the world.

3 Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them

not:

For of such is the kingdom of heaven.

After the Administration.

1 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall

be clean:

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will
I put within you,

2 And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh. And I will give you a heart of flesh.

3 For the promise is unto you, and to your children; And to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
