4 Through all my life, thy favour is So freely shewn to me, That in thy house, for evermore, PSALM XXVI. C. M. (Altered from "The Spirit of the Psalms.") WE E love thy holy temple, Lord, 2 There, with the cross our infant brow 3 There, round thy table Christians kneel 4 That holy temple still we throng PSALM XXVIII. 6 EIGHTS. GOD, our Strength, to Thee we pray; Turn not Thou thy face away; Gracious to our vows attend, Thou, our Saviour, and our Friend! 2 Let us (for with pitying ear Thou, our Strength, and Thou, our Shield; Be our hopes for ever stay'd. 10 PSALM XXX. 6 EIGHTS. (From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") GRACIOUS Lord, to whom in vain Thy suff'ring people ne'er complain; Whose mighty arm and healing power Are present in the needful hour; Accept the grateful songs we raise, The humble tribute of our praise! 2 Thy justly-kindled wrath how brief! Thy love how prompt to give relief! The tears that bathe our couch at night Are chas'd away ere morning-light; For grief is but a transient guest Within the Christian's faithful breast. 3 Receive, then, Lord, the thanks we owe, Thou, who hast chang'd our weeds of woe For robes of joy, and songs of praise, And crown'd with endless life our days: O let our loudest notes proclaim Glory to Thy Almighty Name! 1 YE (From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") E ransom'd of the Lord, rejoice, 'Tis yours to raise the tuneful voice: Prepare your hearts, ye just, to sing The praises of your Heav'nly King. 2 His word is truth, His works are right; Justice and mercy His delight.

THRO' all the changing scenes of life, The praises of our God shall still 2 Of all His mercies will we sing, 3 His angel-guards encamp around He hears, He answers ev'ry prayer 4 Cast we our cares upon the Lord; How sure, how faithful is his Word, 1 WIDE IDE as the glorious arch of heav'n Firm as the mountains' solid base Thy truth unshaken stands. 2 Thy judgments, like th' unfathom'd deep, Our feeble search defy; Thy bounty, Lord, for all that breathe, 3 And faithful Christians rest secure And draughts of purest pleasure drain 4 They, walking in the gospel's light, 1 PSALM XLI. L. M., D. (From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") HOW OW blest are they who daily prove, The fervent gratitude they owe To Him from whom all blessings flow: God will their fainting souls sustain ; с These shall behold their Saviour's face Beaming with smiles of heav'nly grace, And from his lips their raptur'd ear Shall this their gracious sentence, hear"Come, children whom your God hath bless'd, Come and receive your heav'nly rest." 1 (From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") WITH hearts in love abounding Prepare we now to sing A lofty theme, resounding Thy praise, Almighty King; Whose love, rich gifts bestowing, Redeem'd the human race; Whose lips, with zeal o'erflowing, Breathe words of truth and 2 In Majesty transcendent, grace.
