Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.
2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
'Till suns shall rise, and set, no more.
S. M. Kibworth. [*]

1T shall sound through distant lands;

HY name, almighty Lord,

Great is thy grace, and sure thy word;
Thy truth for ever stands.

2 Far be thine honour spread,
And long thy praise endure;
'Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchang'd no more.

PSALM 118. C. M. FIRST PART. Meur. [*]
V. 6-15.-Deliverance from a Tumult.
1 [THE Lord appears my helper now,
Nor is my faith afraid

What all the sons of earth can do,
Since heav'n affords its aid.

2 'Tis safer, Lord, to hope in thee,
And have my God my friend,
Than trust in men of high degree,
And on their truth depend.

3 Like bees my foes beset me round,
A large and angry swarm;
But I shall all their rage confound,
By thine Almighty arm.

4 'Tis through the Lord my heart is strong,
In him my lips rejoice;

While his salvation is my song,

How cheerful is my voice!

5 Like angry bees they girt me round;
When God appears they fly:

So burning thorns, with crackling sound,
Make a fierce blaze and die.

6 Joy to the saints, and peace belongs;
The Lord protects their days:
Let Israel tune immortal songs,
To his almighty grace.]

V. 17-21.-Public Praise for Deliverance from Death. 1 ORD, thou hast heard thy servant cry, And rescu'd from the grave;

Now shall he live: (and none can die,
If God resolve to save.)

2 Thy praise, more constant than before,
Shall fill his daily breath;

Thy hand that hath chastis'd him sore,
Defends him still from death.

o 3 Open the gates of Zion now,
For we shall worship there-

The house where all the righteous go,
Thy mercy to declare.

• 4 Among th' assemblies of thy saints,
Our thankful voice we raise;
Here we have told thee our complaints,
And here we speak thy praise.

V. 22, 28.-CHRIST the Foundation of his Church.

1 BEHOLD, the sure foundation stone,

Which God in Zion lays,

To build our heav'nly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.

e 2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
And saints adore the name;

They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.

e 3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;

Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.

g 4 What though the gates of hell withstood,
Yet must this building rise;

'Tis thy own work, almighty God,

And wondrous in our eyes.

And Satan's empire fell;

To-day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.

To David's holy Son;

Salvation from thy throne.

But God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envy, and the Jews.

The joy and wonder of our eyes!
o This is the day that proves it thine,
The day that saw our Saviour rise.

Hosanna, let his name be blest;
A thousand honours on his head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!

Salvation to our dying race;

o Let the whole church address their King,
With hearts of joy, and songs of praise.

PSALM 119.

I have collected and disposed the most useful verses of this Psalm under eighteen different heads, and formed a Divine Song upon each of them. But the verses are much transposed to attain some degree of connexion.

In some places, instead of the words law, commands, judgments, testimonies, I have used gospel, word, grace, truth, promises, &c. as more agreeable to the New Testament, and the common language of Christians, and it equally answers the design of the Psalmist, which was to recommend the Holy Scriptures,

PSALM 119. C. M. FIRST PART. Bedford. [*] ̧. Blessedness of Saints, and Misery of Sinners.

0 1

BEST are the undefil'd in heart,

Whose ways are right and clean;

Who never from thy law depart,
But fly from ev'ry sin. -

2 Blest are the men who keep thy word,

And practise thy commands;

• With their whole heart they seek thee, Lord, And serve thee with their hands.

Ver. 165.

e 3 Great is their peace who love thy law,
How firm their souls abide!
-Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steady feet aside.

Ver. 6.

b 4 Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all thy statutes I obey,
And honour all thy name.

Ver. 21, 118.

e 5 But haughty sinners God will hate,
The proud shall die accurst;
The sons of falsehood and deceit,
Are trodden to the dust.

Ver. 119, 155.

p 6 Vile as the dross the wicked are;
And those, who leave thy ways,
Shall see salvation from afar,
But never taste thy grace.

C. M. SECOND PART. Canterbury. [*]

Devotion: Constant Converse with God. 1 NO thee, before the dawning light, My gracious God, I pray;

T

I meditate thy name by night,
And keep thy law by day.

Ver. 81.

2 My spirit faints to see thy grace;
Thy promise bears me up:
And while salvation long delays,

Thy word supports my hope.
N.164.

3 Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.

V..62.

4 When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call thy works to mind; hi....
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find.
