Immanuel to the choice agreed, He bought them dear; his blood they cost. 1 LET them neglect thy glory, Lord, Who never knew thy grace; But our loud songs shall still record 2 We raise our shouts, O God, to thee, All glory to th' united Three, The undivided One. 3 'Twas he, (and we'll adore his name) That form'd us by a word; 'Tis he, restores our ruin'd frame; Salvation to the Lord! 4 Hosanna! let the earth and skies Repeat the joyful sound; 1 Rocks, hills and vales reflect the voice HYMN 9. First Part. L. M. God the Father, the almighty Creator. ALMIGHTY LMIGHTY God we praise, and own All things were made to honour thee, 2 To thee all angels loudly cry, And cry, thrice holy to thy name. 3 Lord God of hosts, thy presence bright Fills heav'n and earth with beautious light; 'Th' apostles' happy company, And ancient prophets all praise thee. 4 The crowned martyrs' noble host, The holy church in ev'ry coast, Their Maker, for their Father own, Now reconcil'd in Christ his Son. 1 HYMN 9.
