For the Lord's Day Morning. 1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear 2 Up to the hills, where Christ is gone 3 Thou art a God, before whose sight 4 But to thy house will I resort, 5 O may thy Spirit guide my feet The Penitent's Prayer and Triumph. 1 O SPARE me, Lord, nor o'er my head The fullness of thy vengeance shed; With pitying eye my weakness view, Heal my vex'd soul, my strength renew. 2 And O, if yet my sins demand The wise corrections of thy hand, Yet give my pains their bounds to know, 3 While clouds of grief around me roll, God's Observance of, and Displeasure at, the Wicked. 1 TO God, my soul, for help repair Who makes the faithful heart his care; Th' impartial Judge, whose eyes each day, Indignant, scenes of guilt survey. 2 If man his law refuse to know, He whets his sword, he bends his bow, 3 Sin's baneful growth do thou control, And guard from ill the upright soul; For thou, just Lord, with searching eye, The heart and inmost reins canst try. PSALM VIII. C. M. The Glory and Condescension of the Creator. 1 THOU, to whom all creatures bow, Within this earthly frame; Through all the world how great art thou; 2 When heav'n, thy beauteous work on high, Employs my wond'ring sight: The moon that nightly rules the sky, 3 What's man, say I, that, Lord, thou lov'st To keep him in thy mind? Or what his offspring, that thou prov'st 4 0 thou, to whom all creatures bow, Through all the world how great art thou! PSALM IX. C. M. Praise to God us the sure Refuge of his Saints. 1 TO celebrate thy praise, O Lord, I will my heart prepare; To all the listing word y works, 2 The thoughts them sail to my soul Exaited nieasure ring: While to thy name, O thou Most High, Triumphant praise I sing. 3 God is a constant sure defence As troubles rise, his needful aids 4 All those who have his goodness prov'd, Prayer heard, Saints saved, and Oppressors punished. 1 WHY doth the Lord stand off so far, And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, 2 Lord, shall the wicked still deride Shall they advance their heads in pride, |
