17. PSALM XXII. + L C. M. ORD, in thy sacred courts will I 2 The meek companions of my grief And all that seek the Lord shall be 3 Then shall the glad converted world 4 Then shall a chosen spotless race, 1 To their admiring heirs his truth 18. TH PSALM XXIII. C. M. HE Lord himself, the mighty Lord, The shepherd, by whose constant care 2 In tender grass he makes me feed, Then leads me to cool shades, and where 3 He does my wand'ring soul reclaim, 4 I pass the gloomy vale of death, 5 Since God does thus his wond'rous love 19. PSALM XXV. S. M. 1HY mercies and thy love, O Lord, recall to mind; And graciously continue still, 2 Let all my youthful crimes And, for thy wond'rous goodness' sake, 3 His mercy and his truth The righteous Lord displays, In bringing wand'ring sinners home, 4 Through all the ways of God 20. 1 SI INCE mercy is the grace Forgive my And so advance thy name. 2 Whoe'er with humble fear To God his duty pays, 3 His quiet soul with peace Shall be for ever blest, And by his num'rous race the land 4 For God to all his saints His secret will imparts, S. M. And does his gracious cov'nant write 21. 1 PSALM XXVII. C. M. "HOM should I fear, since God to me. Is saving health and light? Since strongly he my life supports, 2 Through him my heart, undaunted, dares With mighty hosts to cope; Through him, in doubtful straits of war, 3 Henceforth within his house to dwell His wond'rous beauty there to view, 4 For there may I with comfort rest, And safe as on a rock abide, 22. 1 CON PSALM XXVII. C. M. ONTINUE, Lord, to hear my voice, In mercy my complaints receive, Nor my requests deny. 2. Since us to seek thy glorious face, Thy glorious face I'll always seek, 3 Then hide not thou thy face, O Lord, My God and Saviour, leave not him 4 My soul, God's time with faith expect, Who will inspire thy breast With inward strength; do thou thy part, And leave to him the rest. 23. T PSALM XXIX. L. M. O God's great name fresh altars raise, Him in his holy temple praise, Where he's with solemn state ador'd. 2 "Tis he that with amazing noise The wat'ry clouds in sunder breaks; The ocean trembles at his voice, When he from heaven in thunder speaks. 3 When God in thunder loudly speaks, And scattered flames of lightning sends, The forest nods, the desert quakes, And stubborn Kadesh lowly bends. 4 God rules the angry floods on high; His boundless sway shall never cease; His saints with strength he will supply, And bless his own with constant peace. PSALM XXX. 24. 1 N my distress I cried to God, Who kindly did relieve, C. M. And from the grave's expecting jaws |
