PSALM 116.

How just and merciful is God,
How gracious is the Lord!
Who saves the harmless, and to me
Does timely aid afford.

Then free from pensive cares, my soul,
Resume thy wonted rest;
For God has wond'rously to thee
His bounteous love exprest.

When death alarm'd me, he remov'd
My dangers and my fears;
My feet from falling he secur'd,
And dry'd my eyes from tears.

Therefore my life's remaining years,
Which God to me shall lend,
Will I in praises to his name,

And in his service spend.

PSALM 117.

WITH cheerful notes let all the earth
To heav'n their voices raise;
Let all, inspir'd with godly mirth,
Sing solemn hymns of praise.

God's tender mercy knows no bound,
His truth shall ne'er decay;
Then let the willing nations round,
Their grateful tribute pay.

The God that doth in Sion dwell,
Is our eternal King;

From age to age his reign endures;
Let all his praises sing.

H

PSALM 117.

LET thy various realms, O earth, Praises yield to heav'n's high Lord;

Praise him all of human birth,

And his wond'rous acts record.

See his

mercy o'er our land
Spread its ever-healing wing,
And his truth through ages stand;
Praise, O praise th' eternal King.

PSALM 117.

O ALL ye nations of the world,
Praise ye the Lord always;
And all ye people ev'ry where,
Set forth his noble praise.

For great his kindness is to us,
His truth doth not decay;

Wherefore praise ye the Lord our God,
Praise ye the Lord alway.

PSALM 118.

LIFT your voice, and thankful sing
Praises to your heav'nly King;
For his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

Israel, thy Creator bless,

And with joyous tongue confess,
That his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

Aaron, let thy chosen line
Grateful in th' avowal join;
That his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

Ye who make his will your care,
With assenting voice declare,
That his mercies far extend,

And his bounty knows no end.
