3 They go from strength to strength Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heav'n appears: O glorious throng! Our hearts desire, PSALM LXXXVII. 1 GLO P. M. LORIOUS things of thee were spoken, He, whose word can ne'er be broken, 2 Lord, the Church is still thy dwelling, 3 On the Rock of Ages founded, 4 Lo, the just of ev'ry nation, Though in distant climes they rove, Shall be register'd above. PSALM XC. Version 1. C. M. SHINE on our souls, Eternal God, O let thy favour crown our days, Ꭰ 2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee, 3 With Thee let ev'ry week begin; 4 Thus cheer us through the desert road, PSALM XC. Version 2. L. M. 1 GREAT Father of Eternity, How short are ages in thy sight! A thousand rolling years with Thee Pass as a single watch of night. 2 But mortal life, how soon it flies! Dream of an hour, how frail our bloom! Like Spring's gay flow'rs, at morn we rise; Cut down ere night to fill the tomb. 3 O teach us to improve our days, To count our moments as they fly, And, form'd to Wisdom's sacred ways, In Thee to live, in Thee to die! 1 PSALM XCII. Version 1. (From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") WEET is the task, O Lord, Thy glorious acts to sing, SW S. M. To praise thy Name, and hear thy Word, 2 3 4 Sweet at the dawning hour And, when the night-wind shuts the flower, Sweet on the Day of Rest With those who love and serve Thee best, To songs of praise and joy That such may be our blest employ PSALM XCII. 1 2 3 4 THOU, that art enthron'd above! Thou, in whom we live and move! Thou, that art Most Great, Most High, Lord from all eternity!

(From "The Spirit of the Psalms.") I JEHOVAH reigns! O earth, rejoice; Ye ransom'd isles, exalt your voice; Make ev'ry hill and vale around Responsive to the welcome sound. 2 Though far remov'd from mortal eye, 4 For Christ has died-the Gospel's light Beams with mild radiance on our sight; And fallen man, redeem'd, forgiv'n, May lift his heart, his hopes, to heav'n. 5 O then obey his sacred word, 1 2 All ye who love and fear the Lord: Go, publish through his wide domains The glorious truth-Jehovah reigns! PSALM XCIX. THE S. M. HE Lord Jehovah reigns; Christ, our Redeemer, reigns; 3 Before him prostrate fall, 4 The Lord Jehovah reigns; Let sinners tremble at his throne, PSALM C. Version 1. L. M. LL people that on earth do dwell, 1 AL Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice. |
