Let sinners tremble at his throne,
And saints be humble there.

2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns!—
Let earth adore its Lord;

Bright cherubs his attendants stand,
Swift to fulfill his word.

3 In Zion is his throne;

His honors are divine;

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

Justice and truth and judgment join,
In all his works of grace.

PSALM 99, Second Part, S. M.
A holy God worshiped with Reverence.

EXALT the Lord, our God,

And worship at his feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is his seat.

2 When Israel was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,

When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,--
He gave his people rest.

3 Oft he forgave their sins,

Nor would destroy their race;

And oft he made his vengeance known,
When they abused his grace.

PSALM 100, First Part, L. M.
Praise to our Creator.

E nations round the earth! rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
Serve him with cheerful heart and voice;
With all your tongues his glory sing.

2 The Lord is God; 't is he alone

Doth life and breath and being give;

We are his work, and not our own;
The sheep that on his pastures live.
3 Enter his gates with songs of joy;
With praises to his courts repair;
And make it your divine employ,

1

To pay your thanks and honors there.
4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
Great is his grace, his mercy sure;
And the whole race of man shall find
His truth from age to age endure.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people, we his care,

Our souls, and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker! to thy name?.

f" 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs ; High as the heavens our voices raise;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity, thy love;

100

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

PSALM 100, C. M.

The Creator adored.

SING, all ye lands!—with rapture sing,

And bless Jehovah's name;

With loud hosannas hail your King,--
Bow down-your God proclaim.

2 Know that the Lord is God alone,—
'T is he who made us all;
His people-we his sceptre own,
His sheep-we hear is call.

And in his courts bow down;

No bounds his mercy knows;

God's Goodness and Truth.

SING to

ING to the Lord most high:
Let every land adore;

With grateful voice make known
His goodness and his power:
With cheerful songs
Declare his ways,
And let his praise

Inspire your tongues.
2 Enter his courts with joy;

With fear address the Lord;
He formed us with his hand,
And quickened by his word;
With wide command,

He spreads his sway,
O'er every sea

And every land.

3 His hands provide our food,
And every blessing give;
We feed upon his care,
And in his pastures live:

With cheerful songs
Declare his ways,
And let his praise

Inspire your tongues.

4 Good is the Lord our God,

His truth and mercy sure;

While earth and heaven shall last,

His promises endure:

With wide command,

He spreads his sway,

O'er every sea
And every land.

Praise from all Lands.

I be joyful in the Lord,
Every land beneath the sun!
In his praise with glad accord,

Let all tongues and hearts be one:
For our God is God alone,
Whose we are, and not our own;
We his people are-the sheep
He will ever rule and keep.

Who Jehovah's praise proclaim:
In his courts, with grateful song,
Speak the honors of his name:
Rich his bounty to our race;
Inexhaustible his grace;
Ready to forgive and bless;
Ever sure his faithfulness.

PSALM 100, 11s and 8s.

Thanksgiving and Praise in the Sanctuary.

BE

E joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth!
Oh! serve him with gladness and fear;
Exult in his presence with music and mirth,
With love and devotion draw near.

2 Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,
Creator and ruler o'er all:

And we are his people, his sceptre we own;
His sheep, and we follow his call.

3 Oh! enter his gates with thanksgiving and song,
Your vows in his temple proclaim;

His praise with melodious accordance prolong,
And bless his adorable name.

4 For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,
And we are the work of his hand;
His mercy and truth from eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand.

PSALM 101, L. M.
The Magistrate's Song.

MEROY and judgment are my song;
And, since they both to thee belong,
My gracious God! my righteous King!
To thee my songs and vows I bring.

2 If I am raised to bear the sword,
I'll take my counsels from thy word;
Thy justice and thy heavenly grace
Shall be the pattern of my ways.

3 Let wisdom, all my actions guide,
And let my God with me reside:
No wicked thing shall dwell with me,
Which may provoke thy jealousy.

4 I'll search the land, and raise the just
To posts of honor, wealth, and trust;
The men, that work thy holy will,
Shall be my friends and fav'rites still.

PSALM 102, First Part, L. M.

Men mortal-the Church safe.

mp 1 IT is the Lord our Saviour's hand

Weakens our strength amidst the race; Disease and death, at his command, Arrest us, and cut short our days.

aff 2 Spare us, O Lord! aloud we pray, Nor let our sun go down at noon; Thy years are one eternal day,

And must thy children die so soon?

3 Yet, in the midst of death and grief,
This thought our sorrow should assuage;-
"Our Father and our Saviour live:
Christ is the same through every age."

4 The starry curtains of the sky,

Like garments shall be laid aside;
But still thy throne stands firm and high;
Thy church for ever must abide.

5 Before thy face, thy church shall live,
And on thy throne thy children reign;
This dying world shall they survive,

102

And the dead saints be raised again.

PSALM 102, Second Part, L. M.
The unchanging God.

1 REAT Former of this various frame!
Our souls adore thine awful name,
And bow and tremble, while they praise
The Ancient of eternal days.
