6 Israel he fed with lib'ral hand,
And made his goodness known;
He gave the midnight clouds command
To pour the manna down.

7 His murm'ring people, in distrust,
The heavenly food despise;
Flesh only could appease their lust:
And God in wrath replies.

8 The lustful die; the rest return,
And seek the Lord with tears;
Under the rod they seek and mourn,
But soon forget their fears.

9 Lord, give us grace to know thy ways,
Nor thy good gifts abuse;

Thy chastenings own, thy mercies praise,
And thy commandments choose.

Further meditation on God's dealings with Israel in the wilderness.---Numb. xiv. 19---22.

10 GREAT God! how oft did Israel prove
By turns thy anger and thy love!

They sinn'd; their years were doom'd to flow
In trouble, and their years in woe.

11 Rous'd by the terror of thy power,
They sought thee in each dreadful hour:
Call'd thee the Rock of their abode,
Their High Redeemer, and their God.

12 Yet on their lips dissembling hung,
And flatt'ry cloth'd with lies their tongue;
While their rebellious tempers prove
False to thy covenant and love.

13 Mercy did still o'er wrath prevail;
Still did the arm of vengeance fail;
Thine anger oft away was turn'd,
Or else with gentle flame it burn'd.

6 Holy art thou, O God, and great!
Who can like Thee be found?
Thou doest wonders, and thy flock
Hast with deliv'rance crown'd.

7 The waters saw thee, mighty God!
The waters saw, and fled:

Earth trembled, and thy thunder roar'd;
Thine arrowy lightning sped.

8 Ocean thy way,-thy path the sea,-
Thy footsteps were not seen,
Which led thy flock, by Moses' hand,
To Canaan's peaceful scene.
PSALM 78.

God's dealings with Israel to be handed down for the admonition of successive generations.-- 1 Cor. x. 1---11.

1 LET children hear the mighty deeds
Which God perform'd of old;
Which in our younger days we saw,
And which our fathers told.

2 He bids us make his glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
To ev'ry rising race.

3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs:
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

4 Thus shall they trust in God alone
Their everlasting stay;

Nor latest times his works forget,

But his commands obey.

The punishment of the Israelites, when dissatisfied with manna, and lusting for flesh.---Numb. xi.- -Deut. vi. 11; ix. 22.

5 GOD his forgetful people tries,

And chastens them in love;

Humbles their pride, their wants supplies,
Their treach'rous hearts to prove.

6 Israel he fed with lib'ral hand,
And made his goodness known;
He gave the midnight clouds command
To pour the manna down.

7 His murm'ring people, in distrust,
The heavenly food despise;
Flesh only could appease their lust:
And God in wrath replies.

8 The lustful die; the rest return,
And seek the Lord with tears;
Under the rod they seek and mourn,
But soon forget their fears.

9 Lord, give us grace to know thy ways,
Nor thy good gifts abuse;

Thy chastenings own, thy mercies praise,
And thy commandments choose.
