Carey's.

Though, in a bare and rugged way,
Through pathlefs, lonely, wilds I ftray,
His bounty fhall my pains beguile:
The barren wilderness fhall fmile,
With fudden greens and herbage crown'd,
And ftreams fhall murmur all around.

Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My stedfast heart fhall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still:
Thy friendly staff shall give me aid,

And guide me through the dreadful shade.

PSALM

St. Ann's.

XXIII.

My Shepherd is the living Lord,
He gives me all I need:

In pastures green, where waters flow,
He leads me forth to feed.

He shall convert and glad my foul,
My heart and mind shall frame,
To feek the paths of righteousness
To bless and praise his name.

Though in the gloomy vale of death

No evil will I fear :

Thy rod and staff shall comfort bring;

Thy help shall then be near.

Thou, through my life, through all my days,

To me haft mercy fhown,

Hence in thy houfe my dwelling-place

Shall be with Thee alone.

PSALM XXIV.

St. James's.

W LIFT

up your heads, eternal gates! Sebe

Your lofty arches rear,

Ye everlasting doors!-Behold

The King of Glory near!

Who is this King of Glory ?-Who?

The Lord of Hofts renown'd;

In battle mighty; o'er his foes
Triumphant conqu'ror crown'd.

Lift up your heads, eternal doors!
Your lofty arches rear,

Ye everlasting gates !-Behold

The King of Glory near!

Who is this King of Glory?-Who?—
The Lord of Hofts renown'd:

Of Glory He alone is King,

Alone with glory crown'd.

PSALM XXIX.

Eafter Hymn.

SING, ye fons of men, O fing

Praise to Heav'n's eternal King!
Yield the homage that his name

From a creature's lips may claim. Hallelujah.

Hark! His voice in thunder breaks.-

Hufh'd to filence, while He fpeaks,

Ocean's waves, from pole to pole,

Hear the awful accents roll. Hallelujah.

Now the bursting clouds give way,

Now the vivid lightnings play,

And the wilds, by man untrod,

Hear difmay'd th'approach of God. Hallelujah.

Eafter Hymn.

He the swelling fea commands;
Fixt his throne for ever stands,
Sing, ye fons of men, O fing

Praise to Heav'n's eternal King! Hallelujah!
