HYMN 110.
[How glorious are the Morning Stars]
Job 38. 7. When the Morning-stars sang together, &c.
[The First Part.]
How glorious are the Morning Stars!
How doth their glory shine!
Angels most glorious Creatures are,
Yea, holy and divine:
How doth their glory shine!
Angels most glorious Creatures are,
Yea, holy and divine:
They sang together at the first
Jehovah's glorious praise,
And we of them also learn must
To sing to God always;
Jehovah's glorious praise,
And we of them also learn must
To sing to God always;
Nay, with united voices sing
In Consort with much joy,
Since Christ has overcome our Foes,
Who would our Souls destroy:
In Consort with much joy,
Since Christ has overcome our Foes,
Who would our Souls destroy:
266
And did they not a second time
Sing unto God on high,
When Jesus Christ our Lord was born?
And yet shall Saints deny
Sing unto God on high,
When Jesus Christ our Lord was born?
And yet shall Saints deny
This is our work? No, no, it doth
Sharply indeed reprove
Such who would rob the holy God
Of that which he doth love.
Sharply indeed reprove
Such who would rob the holy God
Of that which he doth love.
It is his due, and it belongs
To him as his just Right;
His Praise to celebrate in Songs
Is lovely in his sight.
To him as his just Right;
His Praise to celebrate in Songs
Is lovely in his sight.
Psalm 89.
Thy Mercies, Lord, then we will sing,
Thy Truth to all proclaim;
The heav'nly Angels sacred Choir
Shall celebrate the same.
Thy Truth to all proclaim;
The heav'nly Angels sacred Choir
Shall celebrate the same.
These never with the Lord dispute,
Nor his Commands contest,
But give attendance at his Throne,
With awful fear possess'd.
Nor his Commands contest,
But give attendance at his Throne,
With awful fear possess'd.
