4 Still be his honors fpread,

Still let the world adore,

Till funs their cheering influence shed
And moons give light no more.

5 The God who guides us now
Will guide us till we die;
Will be our God while here below,
And ours above the sky.

The incomparable goodness and greatness of God.

I YE fervants of the eternal King,
To God your cheerful praises fing,
His name be prais'd for evermore;
His goodness over all is great,
Where'er the fun doth rife or fet,

Since all are bless'd, let all adore.

2 O'er all the earth the Lord doth reign, And heaven is too narrow to contain

His glories which are infinite.

Let not poor borrow'd greatnefs dare
With his perfections to compare,

Who dwells in uncreated light.

PSALM III.

The incomparable greatnefs of God.

1 YE faints and fervants of the Lord,
The triumphs of his name record,.
His facred name for ever bless.
Where'er the circling fun displays.
His rifing beams, or fetting rays,

Due praise to his great name addrefs.

2 God thro' the world extends his fway, The regions of eternal day

But fhadows of his glory are.

With him whofe majefty excels,

Who made the heaven in which he dwells,

Let no created power compare.

PSALM IV..

The glory of God in his works.

P.

T.

I GREAT GOD, the heaven's well-order'd

frame

Declares the glories of thy name;

There

There thy rich works of wonder fhine;
A thousand starry beauties there,
A thousand radiant marks appear

Of boundless power and skill divine!

2 From night to day, from day to night,.
The dawning and the dying light

Lectures of heavenly wifdom read;
With powerful eloquence they raise
Our thoughts to their creator's praise,
And neither found nor language need;

3 Yet their divine inftructions run
Far as the journeys of the fun,

4

And reafon lends to both a voice.. The fun in radiant fplendors drest, Breaks from the chambers of the east,

Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice..

Where'er he spreads his beams abroad
He fpeaks the majefty of God;

All nature joins to fhew thy praise ::
Thy glories thro' creation fhine;

Our fouls confefs the work divine,

And fongs of cheerful homage raise. W.
