Where the streams refreshing flow,
He his fruitful branch shall spread,

Prosperous, he no leaf shall shed.
4 See, ah! see, a different fate

God's obdurate foes await!
See them, to his wrath consigned,

Fly like chaff before the wind.
5 When thy Judge, O earth, shall come,

And to each assign his doom;-
Say, shall then the impious band

With the just assembled stand ?
6 These, th' Almighty, these alone,

Objects of his love shall own;
While his vengeance who defy,
Whelmed in endless ruin lie.

Christ exalted and his Enemies warned.
1 WHY did the nations join to slay

The Lord's anointed Son ?
Why did they cast his laws away,

And tread his gospel down?
2 The Lord, who sits above the skies,

Derides their rage below;
He speaks, with vengeance in his eyes,

And strikes their spirits through.
3 “I call him my eternal Son,

“ And raise him from the dead ; “I make my holy hill his throne,

“ And wide his kingdom spread.”
p 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,

Obey the anointed Lord;
Adore the King of heavenly birth,

And tremble at his word.

His uncontrolled decree :“ Thou art my Son--this day, my heir,

“Have I begotten thee.

THIRD PART. S. M. Dover.
1 THE Lord ascends on high,

And asks to rule the earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads,

And pleads his heavenly birth.
2 He asks-and God bestows

A large inheritance:
Far as the world's remotest ends,

His kingdom shall advance.
3 The nations that rebel

Must feel his iron rod :
He'll vindicate those honors well,

Which he received from God.
4 Be wise, ye rulers, now,

And worship at his throne:
With trembling joy, ye people, bow

To God's exalted Son.
5 If once his wrath arise,

Ye perish on the place:
But blessed is the soul that flies

For refuge to his grace.

God our Defence. Morning.
1 0 LORD,

how many are my foes,
In this weak state of flesh and blood;
My peace they daily discompose,

But my defence and hope is God.
2 Tired with the burdens of the day,

To thee I raised an evening cry;
Thou heard'st when I began to pray,

And thine almighty help was nigh.
3 Supported by thine heavenly aid,

I laid me down, and slept secure;
Not death should make my heart afraid,

Though I should wake and rise no more. mf 4 But God sustained me all the night;

Salvation doth to God belong :
He raised my head to see the light,
And makes his praise my morning song.

SECOND PART. C. M. Dundee. mp 1 MY God, how many are my fears !

How fast my foes increase!
Their number-how it multiplies !

How fatal to my peace!
| 2 But thou, my glory and my strength,

Shalt on the tempter tread;
Shalt silence all my threatening guilt,

And raise my drooping head.
P 3 I cried, and from his holy hill,

He bowed a listening ear:
I called my Father, and my God,

And he subdued 'my fear.
mf 4 Guarded by him, I laid me down,

My sweet repose to take;
For 1 through him securely sleep,

Through him in safety wake.

For I through him securely sleep,

Through him in safety wake. 1 3 Salvation to the Lord belongs;

God our Portion.
I WHAT though th’unthinking world may say,

“Who will bestow some earthly good ?"
Lord, for thy light and love we pray;

Our souls desire this heavenly food.

At grace divine and love so great;
Nor will we change our happy choice,

For all their wealth and boasted state.

SECOND PART. L. M. Duke Street.

Rest and Peace in God. Evening.
1 THY favor, gracious Lord, impart,

With sacred joy to cheer my heart:
Howe'er the corn and wine increase,

Earth ne'er can yield such heavenly peace.
2 With thy protection kindly blest,

I'll lay me down in peace to rest;
Safe in thy care-from danger free,
To wake on earth--or wake with thee.
