4 His feed for ever shall poffefs

A throne above the fkies:
The meaneft fubject of his grace
Shall to that glory rise.

5 Lord God of hofts, thy wond'rous ways
Are fung by faints above;

And faints on earth their honours raise
To thine unchanging love.

PSALM LXXXIX. 7, &c. Second Part.
The power and majefty of God: or, reverential

worship.

ITH rev'rence let the faints appear
And bow before the Lord;

His high commands with rev'rence hear
And tremble at his word.

2 How terrible thy glories be!

How bright thine armies fhine!
Where is the pow'r that vies with thee?
Or truth compar'd with thine?
3 The northern pole, and fouthern, rest
On thy fupporting hand;

Darkness and day, from east to west,
Move round at thy command.

4 Thy words the raging winds controul,
And rule the boift'rous deep;
Thou mak'ft the fleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows fleep.

Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea are thine,
And the dark world of hell;

w did thine arm in veng'ance shine,
When Egypt durft rebel!

tice and judgment are thy throne,
Yet wond'rous is thy grace:
While truth and mercy join'd in one,
Invite us near thy face.

PSALM LXXXIX. 15, &c. Third Part.
A bleffed gofpel.

IBLEST are the fouls that hear and know
The gofpel's joyful found;
Peace fhall attend the path they go,
-And light their steps furround.
2 Their joy fhall bear their spirits up,
Thro' their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope;
'Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and falvation gives:
Ifr'el, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

PSALM LXXXIX.

19,

&c. Fourth Part.

Cbrift's mediatorial kingdom; or, bis divine and

buman nature.

I HEAR what the Lord in vifion faid,
And made his mercy known:
"Sinners! behold your help is laid
"On my Almighty Son.

.2 "Behold the man my wifdom chose
"Among your mortal race;
"His head my holy oil o'erflows,
"The fpirit of my Grace.

3 "High fhall he reign on David's thro
"My people's better king;

4

"My arm fhall beat his rivals down
"And still new fubjects bring.

"My truth fhall guard him in his w

"With mercy by his fide;

"While in my name thro' earth and
"He fhall in triumph ride.

5" Me for his Father and his God
"He fhall for ever own,

"Call me his Rock, his High. Abode
"And I'll fupport my Son..

;

6" My firft-born Son array'd, in grace
"At my right-hand fhall fit;
"Beneath him angels know their place,
"And monarchs at his feet..
"My cov'nant ftands for ever faft;
"My promifes are strong;

"Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last,
"His feed endure as long.”

PSALM LXXXIX. 30, &c. Fifth Part. The covenant of grace unchangeable; or, afflictions: without rejection.

YET (faith the Lord) if David's race, "The children of my Son, "Should break my laws, abuse my grace,. "And tempt mine anger down; 2" Their fins I'll vifit with the rod, "And make their follies fmart; "But I'll not ceafe to be their God, "Nor from my truth depart. 5"My cov'nant I will never revoke,. "But keep my grace in mind; "And what eternal love hath fpoke, "Eternal truth fhall bind.

"Once have I fworn, (I need no more)
"And pledg'd my holiness,

"To feal the facred promife fure

"To David and his race.

"The fun fhall fee his offspring rife,

"And fpread from fea to fea, "Long as he travels round the skies, "To give the nations day,

6"Sure as the moon that rules the night, "His kingdom fhall endure,

"Till the fix'd laws of fade and light
"Shall be observ'd no more."

PSALM LXXXIX. ver. 47, &c.
Sixth Part. (L.M.)

Mortality and bope.

A Funeral Pfalm.

EMEMBER, Lord, our mortal state, How frail our life, how fhort the date! Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death? 2 Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and fenfe repine and cry, "Muft death for ever rage and reign; "Or haft thou made mankind in vain ? 3 "Where is thy promise to the juft ? "Are not thy fervants turn'd to duft ?" But faith forbids thefe mournful figlis, And fees the fleeping duft arife. 4 That glorious hour, that dreadful day, Wipes the reproach of faints away, And clears the honour of thy word: Awake our fouls and blefs the Lord.

PSALMLXXXIX. 47, &c, Laft Part. As the 113th Pfalm.

Life, death, and the refurrection.

I THINK, Mighty God, on feeble mar
How few his hours, how short his fpan
Short from the cradle to the grave:
Who can fecure his vital breath
Against the bold demands of Death,
With skill to fly, or pow'r to fave?

2. Lord, fhall it be for ever faid,
"The race of man was only made

"For fickness, forrow, and the duft ?” Are not thy fervants day by day Sent to their graves and turn'd to clay ? Lord, where's thy kindness to the juft?3. Haft thou not promis'd to thy Son, And all his feed, a heav'nly crown? But flesh and fenfe indulge despair: For ever bleffed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there.

4 For ever bleffed be the Lord,
Who gives his faints a long reward

For all their toil, reproach, and pain;
Let all below and all above,

Join to proclaim thy wond'rous love,
And each repeat a loud Amen.

PSALM XC. (L. M.)

Man mortal, and God eternal.
A mournful Song at a Funeral.
THRO' ev'ry age, eternal God!

Thou art our reft, our fafe abode;
High was thy throne ere heav'n was made,
Or earth thy humble footstool laid.

2 Long hadst thou reign'd ere time began,
Or duft was fashion'd to a man;

And long thy kingdom fhall endure,
When earth and time fhall be no more.

But man, weak man, is born to die,
Made up of guilt and vanity:

Thy dreadful fentence, Lord, was just ;.
"Return, ye finners, to your dust.”
