HYMN.

Praises! praises! Lord on high!
Humbler of the haughty eye;
Strength in weakness, friend in need,
Glorious God! in word and deed.

Thee we thank, and Thee we trust;
Holy, holy, true, and just!
Thine the power, the kingdom thine—
Which are deathless and divine.

Unto Thee, O God! above,
To thy Son—the sent in love,
And thy Holy Spirit's power
Thanks! and praises! every hour.
