44 Psalm 145: 3. 140. And ye who tread this earthly ball; rious! Resound his praise from shore to shore; O'er sin, and death, and hell, now made victorious, He rules and reigns forevermore. 3 The Lord is great; his mercy how abounding! Ye angels, strike your golden chords; Oh, praise our God, with voice and harp resounding, Psalm 29. The King of kings and Lord of lords! 141. lls. 1 GIVE glory to God in the highest; give praise, Ye noble, ye mighty, with joyful accord; All-wise are his counsels, all-perfect his ways; In the beauty of holiness worship the 2 At the voice of the Lord the strong cedars are bowed, And towers from their base into ruin are hurled; The voice of the Lord, from the darkbosomed cloud, Dissevers the lightning in flames o'er the world. 3 The voice of the Lord, through the calm of the wood, Awakens its echoes, strikes light through its caves; The Lord sitteth king on the turbulent flood; The winds are his servants,—his servants the waves 2 3 4 Psalm 92. THOU who art enthroned above, Sweet the day of sacred rest, When we dwell within thy house, Hear thy word, and pay our vows ;— Notes to heaven's high mansions raise; Great Jehovah's awful name. From thy works our joys arise, 5 Warm our hearts with sacred fire; 7s. H. M. His glories shine with beams so bright, 2 The thunders of his hand Keep the wide world in awe; To guard his holy law; 3 Through all his perfect work, 4 Surprising wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell, And breaks their cursed designs: And can this mighty King My Father and iny Friend! I love his name, I love his word; 144. Psalm 96. C. P. M., 3 Thy sway is known below, above, 1 LET all on earth their voices raise, z He framed the globe, he built the sky, 3 Come the great day, the glorious hour,- All nations fear his name: Then shall the race of men confess 145. His saving grace proclaim. L.M. 61. 4 The final, awful hour is near, 45 Time paces on with ceaseless tread, When opening graves that voice shall hear, And render up the sleeping dead. 5 Oh, in that great decisive day, May we be found in Christ, and stand, While flaming worlds shall melt away, Accepted, owned, at thy right hand! 2 1 LET glory be to God on high: 2 O Lord, the sole begotten Son, Who bore the crimes which we had done; 3 Have mercy on us, through thy blood; Not now, on Zion's height alone The grateful song, the fervent prayer, To heaven, and find acceptance there. 148. Psalm 99. 1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns, L. M. 2 In Zion stands his throne; Ruler of heaven and earth beneath! 3 His honors are divine; His Church shall make his wonders known, For there his glories shine. How holy is his name! How fearful is his praise! Justice, and truth, and judgment join 1.

Beneath thine own almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill which I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed: Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the judgment-day. 4 Oh, let my soul on thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close! Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God when I awake. 5 Be thou my guardian, while I sleep, Thy watchful station near me keep; My heart with love celestial fill, And guard me from the approach of ill. 6 Lord, let my soul forever share, Philippians 4:7. The bliss of thy paternal care: 'Tis heaven on earth, 't is heaven above, To see thy face, and sing thy love! 155. 1 THE peace which God alone reveals, And by his word of grace imparts, Which only the believer feels, Direct, and keep, and cheer our hearts! 2 And may the holy Three in One, 3 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 156. Psalm 35: 18. 1 MILLIONS within thy courts have met, Millions, this day, before thee bowed; Their faces Zion-ward were set, 2 Vows with their lips to thee they vowed. Thy far-spread family awoke, Sabbath, all round the world, to keep. 3 From east to west, the sun surveyed, From north to south, adoring throngs; And still, when evening stretched her shade, The stars came out to hear their songs. 4 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble thou wert nigh: Not one hath sought thy face in vain. 5 Yet one prayer more!-and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord Fulfill thy promise to thy Son; Let all that breathe call Jesus LORD! 159. Luke 24: 29. 1 LORD, at this closing hour, Establish every heart Upon thy word of truth and power, To keep us when we part. 2 Peace to our brethren give; Fill all our hearts with love; 3 Through changes, bright or drear, 4 To God, the only wise, In every age adored, Let glory from the church arise |
