To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom earth and heaven a - dore, From the xviii. Psalm of David.-PART 1. 1. No change of time shall ever shock My firm affection, Lord, to thee; My trust is in thy mighty power; To whom all praise we justly owe; SELECTION 27. From the xxxii. Psalm of David. 1. HE's blest whose sins have pardon gained, No more in judgment to appear; Whose guilt remission has obtained, And whose repentance is sincere. 2. No sooner I my wound disclosed, The guilt that tortured me within, But thy forgiveness interposed, And mercy's healing balm poured in. ORGAN. 3. Sorrows on sorrows multiplied, The hardened sinner shall confound; But them who in his truth confide, Blessings of mercy shall surround. 4. His saints that have performed his laws, SELECTION 38. From the xliii. Psalm of David. 1. LET me with light and truth be blessed; Be these my guides to lead the way, Till on thy holy hill I rest, And in thy sacred temple pray. 2. Then will I there fresh altars raise, 3. Why then cast down, my soul? and why So much oppressed with anxious care? On God, thy God, for aid rely, Who will thy ruined state repair. From the lvii. Psalm of David. 1. O GOD, my heart is fixed, 'tis bent, Its thankful tribute to present; And with my heart, my voice I'll raise, To thee, my God, in songs of praise. 2. Awake, my glory; harp and lute, No longer let your strings be mute: And I, my tuneful part to take, Will with the early dawn awake. 3. Thy praises, Lord, I will resound To all the list'ning nations round; Thy mercy highest heaven transcends, Thy truth beyond the clouds extends. 4. Be thou, O God, exalted high; And as thy glory fills the sky, So let it be on earth displayed, Till thou art here, as there, obeyed. SELECTION 48. From the lxii. Psalm of David. 1. My soul, for help on God rely, On him alone thy trust repose: My rock will health and strength supply, To bear the shock of all my foes. ORGAN. From the lxv. Psalm of David-PART 1. 2.
