mf 5 All ye who on the Lord rely, And rest your hopes above,

[blocks in formation]

He shall with strength your hearts supply,
And bless you with his love.

FOURTH PART. S. M. St. Thomas.

1 DEFEND me, Lord, from shame;
For still I trust in thee;

As just and righteous is thy name,
From danger set me free.

2 Bow down thy gracious ear,
And speedy succor send;

Do thou my steadfast rock appear,
To shelter and defend.

3 How great thy mercies are

To such as fear thy name;

Which thou, for those that trust thy care,
Dost to the world proclaim!

4 Ye that on God rely,

Courageously proceed;

For he will yet your hearts supply
With strength, in time of need.

FIFTH PART. S. M.

1 THY goodness, Lord, how great'
Eternally the same!

Before the sons of men laid up

For those who fear thy name.

2 Thy presence shall protect;
Thy watchful care shall hide :
In the pavilion of thy love,
Secure thy saints abide.

3 Forever bless the Lord,

His great salvation tell:

Hudson.

His marvellous loving-kindness keeps
The city where we dwell.

4 Despond not of his truth,
Nor yield to anxious grief:

God heard my voice, when in distress
I sought-and found relief.

PSALMS.

FIRST PART. L. M.

Uxbridge.

Blessedness of the Penitent and Pardoned.
1 BLEST is the man-forever blest,

Whose guilt is pardoned by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confessed,
And covered with his Saviour's blood.
2 From guile his heart and lips are free;
His humble joy-his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree,

And join to prove his faith sincere.
3 How glorious is that righteousness,
That hides and cancels all his sins!
While brightest evidence of grace
Through all his life appears and shines.

SECOND PART. L. M.

Medway.

1 I SPREAD my sins before the Lord,
And all my secret faults confess;
Thy gospel speaks a pardoning word,
Thy Holy Spirit seals the grace.

2 How safe beneath thy wings I lie,

32

When days grow dark, and storms appear!
And when I walk-thy watchful eye
Shall guide me safe from every snare.

THIRD PART. S. M. Bladenburg.

1 OH! blessed souls are they,

Whose sins are covered o'er;
Divinely blest-to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more.

mp 2 They mourn their follies past,

And keep their hearts with care;
Their lips and lives, without deceit,
Shall prove their faith sincere.

3 While I concealed my guilt,
I felt the festering wound;
But I confessed my sins to thee,
And ready pardon found.

Let saints keep near the throne; Our help, in times of deep distress, 1s found in God alone.

Rejoicing in God.

Nottingham.

ET all the just, to God with joy,
Their cheerful voices raise;
For well the righteous it becomes
To sing glad songs of praise.
2 For faithful is the word of God;
His works with truth abound;
He justice loves--and all the earth
Is with his goodness crowned.

3 Whate'er the mighty Lord decrees,
Shall stand forever sure;

The settled purpose of his heart
To ages shall endure.

4 Our soul on God with patience waits;
Our help and shield is he;
Then, Lord, let still our hearts rejoice,
Because we trust in thee.

5 The riches of thy mercy, Lord,
Do thou to us extend;

Since we, for all we want or wish,
On thee alone depend.

Praise for signal Deliverance.

1 LORD, I will bless thee all my days;
Thy praise shall dwell upon my tongue;
My soul shall glory in thy grace,

While saints rejoice to hear the song.

2 Come, magnify the Lord with me;
Let every heart exalt his name;
I sought th' eternal God-and he
Has not exposed my hope to shame.

P 3 I told him all my silent grief,

My secret groaning reached his ears;
He gave my inward pains relief,

And calmed the tumult of my fears.

Around the men who serve the Lord;
Oh fear and love him, all his saints,
Accept his grace—and trust his word.

SECOND PART. C. M.

Corinth.

1 I'LL bless the Lord from day to day;
How good are all his ways!
Ye humble souls that use to pray,
Come help my lips to praise.

2 Sing to the honor of his name;
In deep distress I cried;

Nor was my hope exposed to shame,
Nor was my suit denied.

P 3 I told the Lord my sore distress,
With heavy groans and tears;
He gave my sharpest sorrows ease,
And silenced all my fears.

And let your own experience prove
The sweetness of his grace.

His eye regards the just:

How greatly blest their portion is,
Who make the Lord their trust!

THIRD PART. C. M. St. Martin's.

Trusting and Praising God.

1 THROUGH all the changing scenes of life, In trouble, and in joy,

The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. 2 Of his deliverance I will boast, Till all, that are distressed, From my example comfort take, And charm their griefs to rest.

3 Oh! magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt his name;

When in distress, to him I called,
He to my rescue came.

4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance he affords to all,
Who on his succor trust.

5 Oh! make but trial of his love,
Experience will decide

How blest are they, and only they,
Who in his truth confide.

6 Fear him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear;

34

Make you his service your delight,
He'll make your wants his care.

FOURTH PART. C. M.

1 THEE will I bless, O Lord, my God,
To thee my voice I'll raise,
Forever spread thy fame abroad,
And daily sing thy praise.

2 My soul shall glory in the Lord,
His wondrous acts proclaim;
Oh let us now his love record,
And magnify his name.

3 Mine eyes beheld his heavenly light,
When I implored his grace;

I saw his glory with delight,

And joy beamed o'er my face.

4 Oh taste and see the Lord is good, Ye, who on him rely;

Dedham.

He shall your souls with heavenly food
And strengthening aid supply.

Quits the grave, the throne to claim;

Object of his endless favor,

God o'er all exalts his name;
