e Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! -4 Fools never raise their thoughts so high; 0 5 But I shall share a glorious part, g 7 Then shall I see and hear and know, And ev'ry pow'r find sweet employ, L. M. SECOND PART. Quercy. [*] 1 LORD, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand, Let me within thy courts be seen, PSALM 93. L. M. FIRST PART. Old Hundred. [*] The eternal and sovereign GoD. EHOVAH reigns; he dwells in light, Girded with majesty and might; 1 The world, created by his hands, • 2 But ere this spacious world was made, • 3 Like floods, the angry nations rise, 1 4 For ever shall thy throne endure; Thy promise stands for ever sure: And everlasting holiness Becomes the dwellings of thy grace. P. M. FIRST PART. Walworth. [*] THE THE Lord of glory reigns, he reigns on high; His robes of state are strength and majesty; This wide creation rose at his command, Built by his word, and 'stablish'd by his hand: g Long stood his throne, ere he began creation, And his own Godhead-is the firm foundation. o 2 God is th' eternal King: thy foes in vain Raise their rebellion, to confound thy reign: In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise, And roar, and toss their waves against the skies; Foaming at heav'n, they rage with wild commotion; But heav'n's high arches scorn the swelling ocean. d 3 Ye tempests, rage no more; ye floods, be still; And the mad world, obedient to his will: Built on his truth, his church must ever stand; 1 God's Power, and Zion's Safety. HE Lord Jehovah reigns, THE And royal state maintains; Array'd in robes of light, And rays of majesty around. go Thy throne was fix'd on high, Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord. e 3 In vain the noisy crowd, Like billows fierce and loud, Against thine empire rage and roar; In vain with angry spite, The surly nations fight, And dash like waves against the shore, d 4 Let floods and nations rage, And all their pow'rs engage,- Shall beat their madness down; There fix'd, thy church shall ne'er remove: Shall in thy courts appear, And sing thine everlasting love. PSAM 94. C. M. FIRST Part. V. 1, 2, 7—14.—Saints chastised, and Sinners destroyed. [ 10 Proclaim thy wrath aloud; Let sov'reign pow'r redress our wrongs, ? They say, "The Lord nor sees nor hears;" Can he be deaf, who form'd their ears? Or blind, who made their eyes? 3 He knows their impious tho❜ts are vain, And they shall feel his pow'r; His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain, 4 But if thy saints deserve rebuke, Thy providences, and thy book, Shall make them know their God. 5 Blest is the man thy hands chastise, And to his duty draw: Thy scourges make thy children wise, 6 But God will ne'er cast off his saints, For their Redeemer's sake.] PSALM 94. C. M. SECOND PART. Reading. [b] V.16-23. Deliverance from Temptation and Persecution. 1 WHO will arise, and plead my right, Against my num'rous foes; While earth and hell their force unite, 2 Had not the Lord, my Rock, my Help, e My life had now in silence dwelt, My soul amongst the dead. p 3 "Alas, my sliding feet!" I cry'd, Thy promise was my prop; Thy grace stood constant by my side, e 4 While multitudes of mournful thoughts, o Thy boundless love forgives my faults, Thy comforts cheer my soul. -5 Pow'rs of iniquity may rise, And frame pernicious laws; o But God, my refuge, rules the skies, He will defend my cause. -6 Let malice vent her rage aloud; Let bold blasphemers scoff; g The Lord our God shall judge the proud, PSALM 95. C.M. Bedford. Plymouth. [*] 1 CING to the Lord Jehovah's name, When his salvation is our theme, Exalted be our voice. 2 With thanks approach his awful sight, And psalms of honour sing; The Lord's a God of boundless might, 3 Let princes hear, let angels know, 4 Earth, with its caverns dark and deep, Lies in his spacious hand; He fix'd the seas what bounds to keep, e 5 Come, and with humble souls adore; O may the creatures of his power o 6 Now is the time: he bends his ear, Come, lest he rouse his wrath, and swear, "Ye shall not see my rest. 1 PSALM 95. S. M. Peckham. [*] 102 YOME, sound his praise abroad, Jehovah is the sov'reign God, 2 He form'd the deeps unknown; e 3 Come, worship at his throne, 4 To-day attend his voice, Come, like the people of his choice. 5 [But if your ears refuse The language of his grace, And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews, That unbelieving race; 6 The Lord, in vengeance drest, |
