Where Fish in Millions iwim and creep
With wondrous Motions, fwift or flow,
Still wand'ring in the Paths below.

20 There Ships divide their wat'ry Way,

There dwells the huge Leviathan,

21 VAST are thy Works, Almighty LORD! All Nature refts upon thy Word,

And the whole Race of Creatures ftands, Waiting their Portion from thy Hands. 22 While each receives his diff'rent Food, Their cheerful Looks pronounce it good; Eagles and Bears, and Whales and Worms, Rejoice and praise in diff'rent Forms.

23 But when thy Face is hid, they mourn,
And dying, to their Duft return;

Both Man and Beaft their Souls refign;
Life, Breath, and Spirit, all are Thine.

24 Yet Thou canft breathe on Duft again, And fill the World with Beasts and Men; A Word of thy creating Breath

Repairs the Waftes of Time and Death.

25 His Works, the Wonders of his Might, Are honour'd with his own Delight; How awful are his glorious Ways! The LORD is dreadful in his Praife.

26 The Earth ftands trembling at thy Stroke;
And at thy Touch the Mountains smoke;
Yet humble Souls may fee thy Face,
And tell their Wants to fov'reign Grace.

27 In Thee my Hopes and Wifhes meet,
And make my Meditations fweet;
Thy Praises fhall my Breath employ,
Till it expires in endless Joy.

28 While haughty Sinners die accurft,
Their Glory bury'd with their Dust,
I to my GOD, my heav'nly KING,
Immortal Hallelujahs fing.

O Invoke his facred Name:

[LORD, Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds, His Matchlefs Deeds proclaim.

2 Sing to his Praife in lofty Hymns,
His wondrous Works rehearse;
Make them the Theme of your Discourse,
The Subject of your Verfe.

3 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
Alone to be ador'd;

And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy
Who humbly feek the LORD.

4 Seek ye the LORD, his faving Strength
Devoutly ftill implore;

And where He's ever prefent, feek
His Face for evermore.

5 O let the Works his Hands have wrought Your Admiration move;

Think on the Judgments of his Mouth,
And Wonders of his Love.

For num'rous Ages paft,
To num'rous Ages yet behind
In equal Force fhall last.

7 GOD fware to Abr'ham and his Seed,
And made the Bleffings fure;
Gentiles the ancient Promife read,
And find his Truth endure.

8 "Thy Seed fhall make all Nations blest, (Said the Almighty Voice)

"And Canaan's Land fhall be their Rest,
"The Type of heav'nly Joys.”

To give them Canaan's Land,
When they were Strangers in the Place,
A little feeble Band.

And haughty Kings that on them frown'd,
Severely He reprov'd.

PART III.

13 THUS were the Tribes from Bondage
And left the hated Ground; [brought,
Each fome Egyptian Spoils had got,
And not One feeble found.

14 The LORD himself chofe out their Way,
And mark'd their Journeys right;
Gave them a leading Cloud by Day,
A fiery Guide by Night.

15 They thirst; and Waters from the Rock In rich Abundance flow;

And following ftill the Course they took,
Ran all the Desert through.

16 O wondrous Stream! O bleffed Type
Of ever-flowing Grace!

So CHRIST our Rock maintains our Life
Through all this Wilderness.

17 Thus guarded by th' Almighty Hand,
The chofen Tribes poffeft

Canaan the rich, the promis'd Land,
And there enjoy'd their Reft.

18 Then let the World forbear its Rage,
The Church renounce her Fear;

Irael muft live through ev'ry Age,
And be th' Almighty's Care.
