4 United zeal be shewn,

His wondrous fame to raise ; God is the Lord; his name alone Deserves our endless praise.

PSALM LXXXII.

10 PRAISE ye the Lord, prepare your glad voice,

His praise in the great assembly to sing: In Christ the Redeemer, let Israel rejoice; And children of Sion be glad in their King.

2 Let us in our mirth extol his great name, With voices of joy his praises express, Whose love condescended mankind to redeem,

And with his salvation the humble to bless.

3 By angels and men, of ev'ry degree,

All glory and praise, and thanks be address'd,
As 'twas from beginning, and ever shall be,
To God in three persons, one God ever
bless'd.

PSALM LXXXIII.

I O PRAISE the Lord in that bless'd place From whence his goodness largely flows; Praise him in heav'n, where he his face Unveil'd in perfect glory shews.

2 Praise him for all the mighty acts Which he in our behalf has done; His kindness this return exacts,

With which our praise should equal run.

3 Let trumpets shrill, with warlike voice,
Make rocks and hills his praise rebound;
Let ev'ry tongue in praise rejoice,
And join the organ's solemn sound.

4 Let all that vital breath enjoy,

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Let grateful strains the voice employ
Of all above and all below.

Psalm 150, N.V.

PSALM LXXXIV.

1 PRAISE, O praise the name divine; Praise it at the hallow'd shrine; Let the firmament on high

To its Maker's praise reply.

2 Be the harp no longer mute;

Sound the trumpet, touch the lute;
Wake to life each tuneful string,
Bring the pipe, the timbrel bring.
3 Let the organ in his praise
Learn its loudest notes to raise ;
And the cymbal's varying sound
From the vaulted roof rebound.

4 All who vital breath enjoy,
In his praise that breath employ,

And in one great chorus join ;
Praise, O praise the name divine.

PSALM LXXXV.

1 LORD of thy boundless grace bestow
Some ray, to ease my piercing woe;
O! heal my bleeding heart!
An ear to my entreaties lend,
Let mercy from thy throne descend,
And sov'reign aid impart !

2 O! grant that true repentance may
Th' uplifted arm of vengeance stay,
The stretch'd-out arm of might!
Release me from my guilty fears-
Still the foul spectre, sin, appears,
Terrific to the sight!

3 O God, who know'st my secret grief,
Send me, O quickly send relief,
And purity of soul !

Let me true reason hence obey,

Grant me new strength, each fleeting day,
My passions to control!

Lord! who can'st make the dumb to speak,
The fast-bound tongue its silence break,
Thy mercy to extol !

Let me, with cheerful lips, rejoice
Thy name to laud with pow'rful voice,
With energy of soul.

PSALM LXXXVI.

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise:
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

3 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

HYMNS.

HYMN I.

Advent.

1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain ! Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of his train Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Amen.

2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,
Rob'd in dreadful majesty ;

Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierc'd, and nail'd him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day!
Come to judgment !

Come to judgment! come away!
