PSALM XCIX.

S. M.

1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns!
Let all the nations fear:
Let sinners tremble at His throne,
And saints be humbled there.

2 The mighty Saviour reigns!
Let earth adore its Lord:
Angelic hosts around Him stand,
To hear and do his word.

3 In Zion is his throne;

His honours are divine:

The church shall make his wonders known, For there his glories shine.

4 Before Him prostrate fall,

And worship at his feet;
For perfect justice He maintains,
Enthroned on mercy's seat.

5 The Lord Jehovah reigns!
Let every creature fear;
Let sinners tremble at his throne,
And saints be humbled there.

PSALM C. L. M.

1 ALL people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

O Lord our great God, How dost Thou appear! So passing in glory,

That great is thy fame; Honour and Majesty

In Thee shine most clear.

With light as a robe
Thou hast thyself clad,
Whereby all the earth
Thy greatness may see:
The heav'ns in such sort
Thou also hast spread,
That they to a curtain
Compared may be.

His chamber beams lie
In the clouds full sure,
Which as his chariots
Are made him to bear:
And there with much swiftness
His course doth endure,

Upon the wings riding

Of winds in the air.

1 O RENDER thanks and bless the Lord; Invoke his sacred Name:

Acquaint the nations with his deeds,
His matchless deeds proclaim.

2 Sing to his praise in lofty hymns, His wond'rous works rehearse;

Make them the theme of your discourse, And subject of your verse.

3 Rejoice in his Almighty Name, Alone to be ador'd,

And let their hearts o'erflow with joy, That humbly seek the Lord.

PSALM CVI. L. M.

10 RENDER thanks to God above,
The fountain of eternal love;
Whose mercy firm through ages past
Has stood, and shall for ever last.

2 Who can His mighty deeds express,
Not only vast, but numberless?
What mortal eloquence can raise
His tribute of immortal praise ?

3 Happy are they, and only they,
Who from thy judgments never stray;
Who know what's right-nor only so,
But always practice what they know.

4 Extend to me that favour, Lord,
Thou to thy chosen dost afford;-
When Thou return'st to set them free,
Let thy salvation visit me,

C. M.

PSALM CVII.

1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defence!
Eternal Wisdom is their guide,
Their help Omnipotence.

2 In foreign realms and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,

Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt,
And live in tainted air.

3 When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,

They know Thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.

4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;

The sea, that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.

5 In midst of dangers, fears, and death, Thy goodness we'll adore;

We'll praise Thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.

6 Thy Providence, that life hath kept,
Thy breath did first impart;

Oh may we ne'er forget thy love,
Nor from thy law depart.

PSALM CVIII.

C. M.

1 O God, my heart is fully bent To magnify thy name;

My tongue, with cheerful songs of praise,
Shall celebrate thy fame.

2 Awake, my lute; nor thou, my harp,
Thy choicest notes delay;
While I with early hymns of joy
Prevent the dawning day.

3 To all the list'ning tribes, O Lord,
Thy wonders I will tell;
And to those nations sing thy praise
That round about me dwell:

4 Be Thou, O God, exalted high
Above the starry frame;

And let the world, with one consent,
Confess thy glorious Name.

PSALM CXVI.

C. M.

1 I LOVE the Lord! for He hath heard My supplicating voice:

I love the Lord! and in His love
Will evermore rejoice.

2 Now, O my soul! from all thy woes,
Return to God, thy rest,

Who graciously hath dealt with thee, And bountifully blest.
