5 Then his high praise shall fill their tongues,
Their hand shall wield the sword;
And vengeance shall attend their songs;
The vengeance of the Lord.

6 When Christ the judgment seat ascends,
And bids the world appear;
Thrones are prepar'd for all his friends,
Who humbly lov'd him here.

7 Then shall they rule, with iron rod,
Nations that dar'd rebel;

And join the sentence of their God,
On tyrants doom'd to hell.

8 The royal sinner bound in chains,
New triumphs shall afford:
Such honour for the saints remains ;
Praise ye, and love the Lord.

PSALM 150. First Part. P. M.
Universal praise to the God of our salvation.
N Zion's sacred gates,

[ocr errors]

Let hymns of praise begin;
Where acts of faith and love

With ceaseless beauty shine:
In mercy there, while God is known,
Before his throne, with songs appear.

2 In heav'n, his house on high,
Ye angels, lift your voice;
Let heav'nly harps resound,
And happy saints rejoice:
The glories sing, that ever shine,
With pomp divine, around your King,

3 His wondrous acts demand,

His wisdom and his grace,

The labours of our hands,
And transports of our praise :

1

Rehearse his name to ev'ry shore,
Where'er his pow'r his works proclaim.
4 Let the trump's martial voice,
The timbrel's softer sound,
The organ's solemn peal,
United praise resound.

To swell the song with highest joy,
Let man employ his tuneful tongue.

PSALM 150. Second Part. L. M.

PRAISE

Hallelujah.

ye the Lord; all nature join
In work and worship so divine:
Let heav'n and earth unite, and raise
High hallelujah's to his praise.

2 While realms of joy, and worlds around,
Their hallelujahs loud resound;

Let saints below, and saints above,
Exulting sing redeeming love.

3 As instruments well tun'd and strung,
We'll praise the Lord with heart and tongue;
While life remains, we'll loud proclaim
High hallelujahs to his name.

4 Beyond the grave, in nobler strains, When freed from sorrow, sin, and pains, Eternally the church will raise

High hallelujah's to his praise. 4 Praise the Father, Hallelujah; Praise ye the Son, Hallelujah ; Praise the Spirit, Hallelujah ;

THESE THREE ARE ONE, PRAISE. YE THE LORD.

HYMN 1. First Part. C. M.
Our only comfort in life and death.

SUBSTANTIAL comfort will not grow

In nature's barren soil;

All we can boast, till Christ we know,
Is vanity and toil.

2 But where the Lord has planted grace,
And made his glories known;

There fruits of heav'nly joy and peace
Are found, and there alone.

3 A bleeding Saviour seen by faith;
A sense of pard'ning love;
A hope, that triumphs over death,
Give joys like those above.

4 To take a glimpse within the veil ;
To know that God is mine;
Are springs of joy, that never fail,
Unspeakable! divine!

5 These are the joys, which satisfy,
And sanctify the mind:

Which make the spirit mount on high,
And leave the world behind.

6 No more, believers, mourn your lot;
But since you are the Lord's,
Resign to them, that know him not,
Such joys as earth affords.
