For the pain which He endured,
Our salvation hath procured.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Jesus Christ is risen to-day,
Our triumphant holiday,

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Let us loud our triumph raise,

Hallelujah.

To our great Redeemer's praise.

Hallelujah.

PSALM XCVIII.

SING to the Lord a new-made song,
Who wondrous things has done;
With his right hand and holy arm
The conquest He has won.

The Lord has through th' astonish'd world
Display'd his saving might;

And made his righteous acts appear

In all the heathen's sight.

Of Israel's house his love and truth

Have ever mindful been;

Wide earth's remotest parts the pow'r
Of Israel's God have seen.

Let therefore earth's inhabitants
Their cheerful voices raise,

And all with universal joy
Resound their Maker's praise.

Monday in Easter Week.

PSALM LXXXIX.-Ver. 8. 13, 14.

LORD God of Hosts, in all the world
What one is like to Thee?
On every side, most mighty Lord,
Thy truth is seen to be.

Thine arm is strong and full of pow'r,
All might therein doth lie;

The strength of thy right hand each hour
Thou liftest up on high.

In righteousness and equity

Thou hast thy seat and place;

Mercy and truth are still with Thee,
And go before thy face.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

All glory be therefore;
As in beginning was, is now,

And shall be evermore.

Tuesday in Easter Week.

PSALM CXXIV.

If God were not on our side,
May Israel now say,

If God were not on our side,

When men rose up to slay,—

Then had they crush'd us in their wrath,
Proud waters then had drown'd
Our panting soul; the waves of death
Had darkly foam'd around!

But blessed, blessed be the Lord,
For He hath rescued us!

As from the fowler's snare the bird,
We are delivered thus.

The snare is broken-and, escap'd,

Our help is in the name

Of God, who this fair earth hath shap'd, And heaven's glorious frame.

First Sunday after Easter.

PSALM CXXXVI.

PRAISE the Lord, for He is love,
And his mercy lives for ever;
God of all the gods above,

For his mercy lives for ever.

Who by wisdom heaven array'd,
For his mercy lives for ever;
Earth above the waters laid,
For his mercy lives for ever.

Who did wondrous lights ordain,
For his mercy lives for ever;
The bright sun o'er day to reign,
For his mercy lives for ever.

Moon and stars for midnight sway,
For his mercy lives for ever :-
Who did Egypt's first-born slay,
For his mercy lives for ever.

Ransom'd Israel from their land,
For his mercy lives for ever;

With strong arm, and outstretch'd hand,
For his mercy lives for ever.

Praise God in his heavenly shrine,

For his mercy lives for ever :Lord of Lords, all praise be thine, For his mercy lives for ever.

PSALM XXXIV.

THROUGH all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,

The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.

O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt his name:
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.

The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just:
Deliv'rance He affords to all
Who on his succour trust.

O make but trial of his love;
Experience will decide,

How blest are they, and only they,

Who in his truth confide.

Fear Him, ye saints, and ye will then
Have nothing else to fear:

Make you his service your delight,
Your wants shall be his care.
