Midst songs of grateful praise.

We spread thy praise abroad; Through all the world thy fame shall fly,

FOURTH PART. 7's. Lincoln 1 HASTEN, Lord, the glorious time,

When, beneath Messiah's sway,
Every nation, every clime,

Shall the gospel call obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own,

Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o'erthrown,

Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,

Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,

Undisturbed shall ever reign.
[ 4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord,

Ever praise his glorious name;
All his mighty acts record,

All his wondrous love proclaim.

73 First Part. L. M. Middlebury.

Folly of envying the Prosperity of Sinners.
1 LORD, what a thoughtless wretch was I,

To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,

In pride, and robes of honor shine!
Aff 2 But oh! their end-their dreadful end!

Thy sanctuary taught me so ;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,

And fiery billows roll below.
3 Now I esteem their mirth and wine

Too dear to purchase with my blood;

Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, mf

My life, my portion, and my God.

73 SECOND PART. C. M. Dundee.

God the Portion of the Soul.
1 GOD, my supporter, and my hope,

My help forever near,
Thine arm of mercy held me up,

When sinking in despair.
2 Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet,

Through this dark wilderness;
Thine hand conduct me near thy seat,

To dwell before thy face.
3 Were I in heaven, without my God,

"Twould be no joy to me;,
And while the earth is my abode,

I long for none but thee.
4 What if the springs of life were broke,

And flesh and heart should faint,
Thou art my soul's eternal rock,

The strength of every saint.
5 Then to draw near to thee, my God,
중

Shall be my sweet employ ;
My tongue shall sound thy works abroad,
And tell the world my joy.

H. M.

Bethesda.
God only to be feared and worshipped.
1 THY glories, mighty God!

Alone our reverence claim:
Thy terrors spread abroad,

How awful is thy name!
Thine anger shown,

Who dare appear
Thy judgments near, Before thy throne ?
2 Let man his anger raise,

With persecuting rage,
His wrath shall work thy praise,

The rest thy hands assuage :
Then still obey

1

Your offerings bring,
Th’ Eternal King,

And vows repay.
3 Let all, who round his throne

With holy gifts draw near,
There lay their offerings down,

Jehovah claims their fear :
Before his word

And princes know
The world shall bow, Thy terrors, Lord.

C. M.

Dedham.
Despondency forbidden.
1 TO God I cried, with mournful voice,

I sought his gracious ear,
In the sad day when trouble rose,

And filled my heart with fear.
2 Will he forever cast me off?

His promise ever fail?
Has he forgot his tender love?

Shall anger still prevail ?
3 But I forbid this hopeless thought,

This dark despairing frame,
Remembering what thy hand has wrought-

Thy hand is still the same.
