He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of | his sal- | vation.

{This is the generation of them that seek him, That | seek thy | face, O | Jacob.

(Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of Glory | shall come | in.
(SOLO. Who is this King of Glory?
CHO. The Lord, strong and mighty;
The Lord- mighty..in | battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers;

The moon and the stars, which | thou..hast or- | dained:

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man,..that thou | visi-..test | him ?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

And hast crowned him with | glory..and | honor.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the work of thy hands;

Thou hast put | all things | under..his | feet.

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

9 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, And whatsoever passeth through the | paths ..of the | sea.

O Lord our Lord,

10 How excellent is thy | name in all the | earth.

SELECTION 3.

Rev. iv. 8, 11; v. 12, 18.

9 Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of Glory | shall come | in.

From the recesses of a lowly spirit,
My humble prayer ascends-O| Father, | hear it!
Borne on the trembling wings of fear and meekness:
For-give its weakness.

I know-I feel how mean, and how unworthy
The lowly sacrifice I | pour be- | fore thee:
What can I offer thee, O Thou most holy!
But | sin and folly.

Lord, in thy sight, who ev'ry bosom viewest,
Cold in our warmest vows, and | vain our | truest;
Thoughts of a hurrying hour-our lips repeat
them-

Our hearts for- | get them.

We see thy hand-it leads us-it supports us :
We hear thy voice-it | counsels,..and it | courts

us;

And then we turn away! and still thy kindness
For- gives our blindness.

Who can resist thy gentle call, appealing
To ev'ry gen'rous thought and grateful | feeling!
Oh! who can hear the accents of thy mercy,
And never | love thee.

Kind Benefactor! plant within this bosom
The seeds of | holiness, || and let them blossom
In fragrance, and in beauty bright and vernal,
And spring e- | ternal.

Then place them in those everlasting gardens, Where angels walk, and | seraphs..are the wardens;

Where ev'ry flow'r, brought safe through death's dark portal,

Be-comes im- | mortal.

BOWRING.

Ps. C.

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye | lands;
Serve the Lord with gladness,

And come before his presence | with a | song.

Be sure that the Lord | he is | God;

It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves,

S

pasture.

And to the | Holy | Ghost;
