Your voices raise,
Ye Cherubim
And Seraphim,
To sing his praise.
2 Thou moon, that rul'st the night,
And sun, that guid'st the day,
Ye glitt'ring stars of light,
To him your homage pay:
His praise deciare,
Ye heavens above,
And clouds that move
In liquid air.
3 Let them adore the LORD,
And praise his holy Name,
By whose almighty word
They all from nothing came;
And all shall last,
From changes free;
His firm decree
Stands ever fast.
4 Let earth her tribute pay:
Praise him ye dreadful whales,
And fish that through the sea
Glide swift with glitt'ring scales
Fire, hail, and snow,
And misty air,
And winds that where
He birds them blow.
5 By hills and mountains, all
In grateful concert join'd;
By cedars stately tall,
And trees for fruit design'd;
By every beast,
And creeping thing,
And fowl of wing,
His name be blest.
6 Let all of highest birth,
With those of humbler name,
And judges of the earth,
His matchless praise proclaim.
In this design,
Let youths with maids,
And hoary heads
With children, join.
7 United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise, Whose glorious Name alone Deserves our endless praise: Earth's utmost ends His power obey; His glorious sway
The sky transcends.
8 His chosen saints to grace, He sets them up on high; And favors Israel's race,
Who still to him are nigh.

From the exlix. Psalm of David
10 PRAISE ye the LORD,
Prepare your glad voice
His praise in the great
Assembly to sing:
In their great Creator
Let Israel rejoice;
And children of Sion
Be glad in their King.
2 Let them his great Name
Extol in their songs,
With hearts well attuned
His praises express:
Who always takes pleasure
To hear their glad tongues,
And waits with salvation
The humble to bless.
3 With glory adorn'd,
His people shall sing
To GOD, who their heads
With safety doth shield;
Such honor and triumph
His faver shall bring:
O therefore, for ever
All praise to him yield'

From the cl. Psalm of David.
1 O PRAISE the LORD in that blest place From whence his goodness largely flows Praise him in heaven, where he his tace, Unveil'd, in perfect glory snows.
2 Praise him for all the mighty acts Which he in our behalf has done; His kindness this return exacts,
With which our praise should equal run. S Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice Make rocks and hills his praise rebound Praise him with harp's melodious noise And gentle psalt ry's silver round.
4 Let them who joyful hymns compose,
To cymbals set their songs of praise;
To well-tuned cymbals, and to those
That loudly sound on solemn days.
5 Let all, that vita, breath enjoy,
The breath he does to them ford
In just returns of praise employ:
Let every creature praise the LORD!

Hear, O my people, to my law.
He's blest whose sins have pardon gain'd
He that has GOD his guardian made.
How bless'd are they who always keep
How biest is he who ne'er consents
How good and pleasant must it be.
How long wilt thou forget me, LORD
How manifold thy works, O LORD
LORD, though at times surprised by fear
LORD, to my brethren I'll declare
LORD, what's in man that thou should'st love
LORD, who's the happy man that may
Magnify Jehovah's name
May Jacob's Gon defend.
Mine eyes, alas, begin to fail
My GoD, my GOD, why leav'st thou me
My grateful soul shall bless the LORD
My off'rings to God's house I'll bring
My soul, for help on GOD rely.
My soul, howe'er distress'd and poor
My soul, inspired with sacred love
My soul, oppress'd with deadly care
My soul, with grateful thoughts of love
My soul with long expectance faints
No change of time shall ever shock
O all ye people, clap your hands
O bless the LORD, my soul

O Thou, to whom all creatures bow

Save me, O GOD, from waves that roll
Say ye, the LORD shall not regard
Sing to the LORD a new-made song
Sing to the LORD a new-made song.
