SIN

PSALM XCVI. P. M.

NING to the Lord a new made song, Let earth in one assembled throng Her common Patron's praise resound, Sing to the Lord, and bless his name, From day to day his praise proclaim, Who us hath with salvation crown'd.

CHORUS.

To heathen lands his fame rehearse,
His wonders to the universe.

Proclaim aloud, Jehovah reigns,
Whose power the universe sustains,
And banish'd justice will restore :
Let therefore heav'n new joys confess,
And heav'nly mirth let earth express:
It's loud applause the ocean roar.

CHORUS.

Its mute inhabitants rejoice,

And for their triumph find a voice.

For joy let fertile vallies sing,

The cheerful groves their tribute bring:
The tuneful choir of birds awake,

The Lord's approach to celebrate,
Who now sets out with awful state,
His circuit through the earth to take.

CHORUS.

From heav'n to judge the world he's come, With justice to reward and doom.

PSALM. C. L. M.

ALL people that an earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed :
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

For why the Lord our God' is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

PSALM C. Version 2. L. M.

WI

ITH one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise, Glad homage pay, with awful mirth, And sing before him songs of praise.

Convinc'd that he is God alone,

From whom both we and all proceed; We whom he chooses for his own,

The flock that he vouchsafes to feed.

O enter then his temple gate,

Thence to his courts devoutly press, And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless.

For he's the Lord, supremly good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.

TH

PSALM CII. L. M.

HE strong foundations of the earth
Of old by thee were laid;

Thy hands the beauteous arch of heav'n
With wond'rous skill have made.

Whilst thou for ever shalt endure,
They soon shall pass away;
And like a garment often wore,
Shall tarnish and decay.

Like that, when thou ordain'st the change
To thy command they bend;
But thou continu'st still the same,

Nor have thy years an end.

Thou to the children of the saints

Shall lasting quiet give,

Whose happy race securely fix'd,
Shall in thy presence live.

PSALM CIII. S. M.

BLESS the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,

And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favours are divine.

O bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgetten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.

'Tis he forgives thy sins;
'Tis he relieves thy pain;
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses
And gives thee health again.

He crowns thy life with love,
When rescu'd from the grave;
He that redeem'd thy soul from death,
Hath sov'reign pow'r to save.

His wond'rous works and ways:
He made by Moses known:

But sent the world his grace and truth
By his beloved Son.

PSALM CIV. P. M.

LESS God, O my soul, rejoice in his

BLE

name,

O Lord! let my voice thy greatness proclaim Surpassing in honour, dominion and might, Thy footstool the sky, thy garment the Fight.

The heav'ns we behold a curtain display'd,.
Thy chambers sublime on waters are laid;
The clouds are a chariot, thy glory to bear,
On wings thou art wafted, thou ridest on air.

As rapid as fire, thy angels on high.
Convey thy commands; thy ministers fly;
The earth on its basis eternal sustain'd
Is fix'd in the station, thy wisdom ordain'd.

Rejoice then, O Lord! in glory secure;
The works thou hast made, thro' ages endure
Yet aw'd by thy presence, when thou draw-
trembles with fear. (est near,
Smoke burst from the mountains, each

Thus Lord! let me sing, thy glory to raise, Delightful the strain when tun'd to thy praise The vile have their suff'rings, the just their reward;

Bless God, O my sprit, O praise ye the Lord..

PSALM CV. L. M..

IVE praises unto God the Lord, And call devoutly on his name; Thro' earth's remotest regions round, Spread ye abroad Jehovah's fame.

Hail him with hymns and psalms divine, His wond'rous deeds in verse record, Which mix'd with music's solemn strain, May best extol your righteous Lord..
