Hark! universal nature shook and groand,
Twas the last trumpetsee the Judge enthroned:
Rouse all your courage at your utmost need,
Now summon every virtue, stand and plead.
What! silent? Is your boasting heard no more?
That self-renouncing wisdom, learnd before,
Had shed immortal glories on your brow,
That all your virtues cannot purchase now.
All joy to the believer! He can speak
Trembling yet happy, confident yet meek.
Since the dear hour that brought me to thy foot,
And cut up all my follies by the root.
I never trusted in an arm but thine,
Nor hoped, but in thy righteousness divine:
My prayers and alms, imperfect and defiled,
Were but the feeble efforts of a child.
Howeer performd, it was their brightest part,
That they proceeded from a grateful heart:
Cleansed in thine own all-purifying blood,
Forgive their evil and accept their good.
I cast them at thy feetmy only plea
Is what it was, dependence upon thee:
While struggling in the vale of tears below,
That never faild, nor shall it fail me now.
Angelic gratulations rend the skies,
Pride fall unpitied, never more to rise,
Humility is crownd, and Faith receives the prize. {William Cowper}
Thank You, Sovereign Lord, that All our Hope is in Jesus Christ.
We Trust You, we Love You, and we Worship Your Majestic Name.
Be Pleased, Your Grace, to Help us to Live to Your Praise.
Thank You for the Promises of Your Word.
"For the Mountains may Depart and the Hills Disappear, but my Kindness
Shall not Leave you. My Promise of Peace for you will Never be Broken,
Says the Lord Who has Mercy Upon you." (Is.54:10)
"The Blessing and the Honor and the Glory and the Power
Belong to the One Sitting On the Throne
And to the Lamb Forever and Ever. Amen!" (Rev.5:13)
