To watch your pillow while you sleep, 5 Adders and lions ye shall tread; 6 "Because on me they set their love, 7" My grace shall answer when they call;; In trouble I'll be nigh; "My power shall help them when they fall, "And raise them when they die. 8"Those that on earth my name have known, "I'll honour them in heaven: "There my salvation shall be shown "And endless life be given." 1 PSALM 92.—1st Part. L. M. [*] S WEET is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks and To shew thy love by morning light, [sing, And talk of all thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest, 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, 6 Sin (my worst enemy before) 7 Then shall I see, and hear, and know And every power find sweet employ PSALM 92.-2d Part. L. M. [*] Ver. 12, &c. The church is the garden of God. 1 LORD, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand In gardens planted by thy hand; 2 There grow thy saints in faith and love, 3 The plants of grace shall ever live; Time, that doth all things else impair, Still makes them flourish strong and fair. 4 Laden with fruits of age, they shew The Lord is holy, just and true : None that attend his gates shall find A God unfaithful or unkind. 1 PSALM 93.-L. M. [*] The eternal and sovereign God. 2 But ere this spacious world was made, S Like floods the angry nations rise, Forever shall thy throne endure :- Becomes the dwellings of thy grace. T PSALM 93.-1st Part. P. M. [*] HE Lord of glory reigns, he reigns on high: His robes of state are strength and majesty: This wide creation rose at his command, Built by his word, and 'stablished by his hand : Long stood his throne ere he began creation, And his own Godhead is the firm foundation. 2 God is th' eternal King. Thy foes in vain Raise their rebellion to confound thy reign: In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise, And roar and toss their waves against the skies.. Foaming at heaven, they rage with wild commotion, But heaven's high arches scorn the swelling ocean. 3 Ye tempests, rage no more; ye floods be still And the mad world submissive to his will: Built on his truth, his church must ever stand; Firm are his promises, and strong his hand : See his own sons, when they appear before him, Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him. 1 2 PSALM 93.—2d Part. P. M. [*] His head with awful glories crown'd; Upheld by thy commands, 3 In vain the noisy crowd, 4 .5 The surly nations fight, And dash like waves against the shore. Let floods and nations rage, Shall beat their madness down; Thy promises are true, There fix'd, thy church shall ne'er remove: Thy saints with holy fear Shall in thy courts appear, *Repeat the fourth stanza, if necessary." PSALM 94.-1st Part. C. M. [b] Ver. 1, 2, 7-14. Saints chastised, and sinners destroyed; or, instructive afflictions. GOD, to whom revenge belongs, 1 Proclaim thy wrath aloud; Let sovereign power redress our wrongs, 2 They say, "The Lord nor sees nor hears :" When will the fools be wise! Can he be deaf, who form'd their ears? 3 He knows their impious thoughts are vain, 4 But if thy saints deserve rebuke, Thy providences and thy book 5 Blest is the man thy hands chastise, Thy scourges make thy children wise, 6 But God will ne'er cast off his saints, He pardons his inheritance, |
