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

3 To Father, Son, and Holy-Ghost,
Immortal glory be;

As 'twas, and is, and shall be still,
To all eternity.

PSALM 118.

10 Praise the Lord, for he is good,

His mercies ne'er decay;

That his kind favours ever last,
Let thankful Israel say.

2 Then open wide the temple gates
To which the just repair,
That I may enter in, and praise
My great deliv'rer there.

3 Within those gates of God's abode,
To which the righteous press;
Since thou hast heard, and set me safe,
Thy holy Name I'll bless.

4 That which the builders once refus'd Is now the corner stone:

This is the wondrous work of God,
The work of God alone.

5 This day is God's; let all the land Exalt their cheerful voice:

Lord, we beseech thee, save us now,
And make us still rejoice.

PSALM 119.

1 HOW blest are they who always keep The pure and perfect way;, :

Who never from the sacred paths
Of God's commandments stray!

2 How bless'd, who to his righteous laws Have still obedient been;

And have with fervent humble zeal
His favour sought to win!

3 Such men their utmost caution use
To shun each wicked deed;
But in the path which he directs
With constant care proceed.

4 Thou strictly hast enjoin'd us, Lord,
To learn thy sacred will;

And all our diligence employ

Thy statutes to fulfill.

5 0 then that thy most holy will
Might o'er my ways preside!
And I the course of all my life
By thy direction guide!

PART 2.

1 INSTRUCT me in thy statutes, Lord, Thy righteous paths display;

And I from them, through all my life,
Will never go astray.

2 If thou true wisdom from above

Wilt graciously impart.

To keep thy perfect laws I will
Devote my zealous heart.

3 Do thou to thy most just commands
Incline my willing heart,

Let no desire of worldly wealth
From thee my thoughts divert.

4 From those vain objects turn my eyes,
Which this false world displays;
But give me lively pow'r and strength
To keep thy righteous ways.

Most graciously, O Lord;

Repeated benefits bestow'd.

According to thy word.

Of thy Almighty hands,

In their observance spend.

PART 4.

1 WITH favour, Lord, look down on me, Who thy relief implore;

As thou art wont to visit those
Who thy bless'd name adore.

Let all my footsteps be;

Dominion have o'er me.

Lord, make thy face to shine:

And shall be evermore.

According to thy word.

Before thy throne appear;
According to thy plighted word
For my relief draw near.

3 Then shall my grateful lips return
The tribute of thy praise,

When thou thy counsels hast reveal'd,
And taught me thy just ways.

4 My tongue the praises of thy word
Shall thankfully resound,
Because thy promises are all
With truth and justice crown'd.

PSALM 121.

O Sion's hill I lift my eyes, From thence expecting aid; From Sion's hill, and Sion's God,

Who heav'n and earth has made.

2 Then thou, my soul. in safety rest,
Thy guardian will not sleep;
His watchful care, that Israel guards,
Will Israel's monarch keep.

3 Shelter'd beneath th' Almighty's wings
Thou shalt securely rest,
Where neither sun nor moon shall thee
By day or night molest.

4 From common accidents of life

His care shall guard thee still;

From the blind strokes of chance, and foes That lie in wait to kill.

5 At home, abroad, in peace, in war,
Thy God shall thee defend;

Conduct thee through life's pilgrimage
Safe to thy journey's end.
