PSALM 48 S. M.

Praise and Trust

DIADEMATA

George J. Elvey

I Within Thy temple, Lord, In that most holy place,

We

on Thy lov - ing - kind ness dwell, The won-ders of Thy grace.

Men sing Thy praise, O God, Where'er Thy Name is known;

By ev ery deed Thy hand hath wrought Thy right-eous - ness is shown.

2 Let Zion now rejoice,

And all her children sing;

Let them with thankfulness proclaim
The judgments of their King.
Mount Zion's walls behold,

About her ramparts go,
And number ye the lofty towers
That guard her from the foe.

3 Observe her palaces,

[Selected Stanzas]

Mark her defenses well,

That to the sons that follow you
Her glories you may tell;

For God as our own God

Forever will abide,

And till life's journey close in death Will be our faithful guide.

All of high and low de gree, Rich and poor, give heed to

me.

I Dust to dust, the mor-tal dies, Both the fool-ish and the wise; None for-ever can re-main,

Each must leave his hoard-ed gain. Yet with- in their heart they say That their hous- es

are for aye, That their dwell - ing pla-ces grand Shall for gen er - a- tions stand.

PSALM 50 L. M.

Sins of Hypocrisy

RAKEM

Isaac B. Woodbury

I Thus speaks the Lord to wick-ed men: My stat-utes why do ye

de - clare?

Why take My covenant in your mouth, Since ye for wisdom do not care?

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

For ye My holy words pro-fane And cast them from you in

disdain.

2 Ye have consented with the thief,
Ye have partaken with the vile,
Your mouths to evil words ye give,
Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile,
Ye glory in your brother's shame,
Your mother's son do ye defame.

3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept,
And this has been your secret thought,
That I was wholly as yourselves,

To take your evil deeds as nought;

I will reprove you and array
Your deeds before your eyes this day.

4 Consider this, who God forget,
Lest I destroy with none to free;
Who offers sacrifice of thanks,
He glorifies and honors Me;

To him who orders well his way
Salvation free I will display.

[Stanzas 7-10]
