JEHO

PSALM 93, First Part, L. M.
The eternal and sovereign God.

HOVAH reigns; he dwells in light,
Girded with majesty and might:
The world, created by his hands,
Still on its first foundation stands.

2 But, ere this spacious world was made,
Or had its first foundations laid,
Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Thyself, the ever-living God.

3 Like floods, the angry nations rise,
And aim their rage against the skies:
Vain floods, that aim their rage so high!-
At thy rebuke the billows die.

4 For ever shall thy throne endure,
Thy promise stands for ever sure;
And everlasting holiness

Becomes the dwellings of thy grace.

PSALM 93, Second Part, L. M.

Dominion and Power of God.

mf 1 THE Lord, the God of glory, reigns, In robes of majesty arrayed;

D

His rule omnipotence sustains,

And guides the worlds his hands have made.

2 Ere rolling worlds began to move,

Or ere the heavens were stretched abroad,
Thine awful throne was fixed above;
From everlasting thou art God.

3 The swelling floods tumultuous rise-
Aloud the angry tempests roar,

Lift their proud billows to the skies,

And foam and lash the trembling shore.

mf 4 The Lord, the mighty God on high,
Controls the fiercely-raging seas;
He speaks!-and noise and tempest fly;
The waves sink down in gentle peace.
5 Thy sovereign laws are ever sure;
Eternal holiness is thine;

And, Lord! thy people should be pure,
And in thy blest resemblance shine.

PSALM 93, S. P. M.

The Majesty of God.

HE Lord Jehovah reigns,

THE

And royal state maintains,

His head with awful glories crowneċ;
Arrayed in robes of light,

Begirt with sovereign might,

And rays of majesty around.

2 Upheld by thy commands,

The world securely stands,

And skies and stars obey thy word;
Thy throne was fixed on high
Before the starry sky;

Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord!

3 Let floods and nations rage,

And all their power engage;

Let swelling tides assault the sky:

The terrors of thy frown

Shall beat their madness down;

Thy throne for ever stands on high.

mf 4 Thy promises are true,

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small]

Thy grace is ever new;

There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove;

Thy saints, with holy fear,

Shall in thy courts appear,

And sing thine everlasting love.

YE ser Master

Your Master proclaim,

And publish abroad

His wonderful name;

The name, all-victorious,
Of Jesus extol;

His kingdom is glorious,
And rules over all.

2 God ruleth on high,
Almighty to save;
And still he is nigh,
His presence we have:
The great congregation
His triumph shall sing,

Ascribing salvation

To Jesus, our King.

mp

3 "Salvation to God

Who sits on the throne !"—

Let all cry aloud,

And honor the Son:
Immanuel's praises

The angels proclaim;
Fall down on their faces,
And worship the Lamb.

f 4 Then let us adore,

94

And give him his right;
All glory and power,

And wisdom and might;
All honor and blessing,-
With angels above,—
And thanks never ceasing,
And infinite love.

PSALM 94, C. M.

Help in God.

aff 1 HAD not the Lord, my rock, my help, Sustained my fainting head,

Λ

My life had now in silence dwelt,
My soul among the dead.

af 2 "Alas! my sliding feet," I cried;
if
Thy promise was my prop;

95

Thy grace stood constant at my side,
Thy Spirit bore me up.

3 While multitudes of mournful thoughts
Within my bosom roll,

Thy boundless love forgives my faults,
Thy comforts cheer my soul.

COME,

PSALM 95, L. M.

Warning against Delay.

mf 1OME, let our voices join, to raise
A sacred song of solemn praise;
God is a sovereign King;-rehearse
His honors in exalted verse.

2 Come; let our souls address the Lord,

Who framed our natures with his word;

[ocr errors]

m

He is our shepherd;—we the sheep,
His mercy chose, his pastures keep.
3 Come, let us hear his voice to-day,
The counsels of his love obey;

Nor let our hardened hearts renew
The sins and plagues that Israel knew.

4 Look back, my soul! with holy dread,
And view those ancient rebels dead:
Attend the offered grace to-day,
Nor lose the blessing by delay.

mf 5 Seize the kind promise, while it waits,
And march to Zion's heavenly gates;
Believe, and take the promised rest;
Obey, and be for ever blest.

PSALM 95, C. M.

Preparation for Prayer.

SING to the Lord Jehovah's name,
And in his strength rejoice;
When his salvation is our theme,
Exalted be our voice.

2 With thanks approach his awful sight,
And psalms of honor sing;

The Lord's a God of boundless might,-
The whole creation's King.

3 Come, and with humble souls adore;
Come, kneel before his face:
Oh! may the creatures of his power
Be children of his grace.

4 Now is the time;-he bends his ear,
And waits for your request;

The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at his throne;

Come, bow before the Lord:
We are his works, and not our own;
He formed us by his word.

4 To-day attend his voice,

Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

5 But, if your ears refuse

[ocr errors]

The language of his grace,

And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jew
That unbelieving race ;—

6 The Lord, in vengeance dressed,
Will lift his hand and swear,-
'You, that despise my promised rest,
Shall have no portion there."

PSALM 95, H. M.

Seeking God to-day.

COME, let us gladly sing
To God, our Saviour King;
With thanks his presence seek,

In psalms his praises speak;

He's God most high; let all draw nigh,
And crown him-Lord of earth and sky.
He gave the mountains birth,
He made this spacious earth;
His are the sea and land-
They rose at his command:
With reverence all before him fall,
And on his name devoutly call.
Come, kneel before his throne,
For he is God alone;

We are the flock he leads-
The sheep his bounty feeds:
To-day,-to-day, his voice obey ;-
Grieve not the Holy Ghost away.

PSALM 95, 8s.

Public Worship.

1 OH! come, let us sing to the Lord,

In God, our salvation, rejoice;
