Proclaiming loud, “ Jehovah reigns;" For joy let fertile vallies fing,

And tuneful groves their tribute bring

To him, whofe power the world fuftains. 5 Come, the great day, the glorious hour, When earth fhall own his fov'reign power, And barb'rous nations fear his name; Then fhall the univerfe confefs

The beauty of his holiness,

And in his courts his grace proclaim.

'H' Almighty reigns exalted high, O'er all the earth, o'er all the iky; Let the whole earth in fongs rejoice, And hofts celeftial join their voice.

2 Deep are his counfels and unknown,
But grace and truth fupport his throne;
Though gloomy clouds his feet furround,
Juftice is their eternal ground.

3 Ye, who confefs his holy name,
Hate every work of fin and fhame;
He guards the fouls of all his friends,
And from the fnares of hell defends.

4 Immortal light, and joys unknown
Are for the faints in darkness sown;
Those glorious feeds fhall fpring and rife,
And the bright harveft blefs our cyes.

Rejoice, ye righteous, and record
The facred honours of the Lord;
None but the fouls who taste his grace
Can triumph in his holiness,

Bleffings of the Meffiab's Kingdom.

O our Almighty Maker, GOD,
New honours be addrefs'd;
His great falvation fhines abroad,
And makes the nations blefs'd.
2 He fpake the word to Abr'ham firft,
His truth fulfils his grace;

The Gentiles make his name their truft,
And learn his righteousness.

3 Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her king;

Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature fing.

4 Joy to the world! her Saviour reigns;
Let men their fongs employ;

While lands and feas, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the founding joy.

No more let fin and forrow grow,

Nor violence abound;

He comes to make his bleffings flow,
Wherever man is found.

6 He rules the world with righteoufnefs,
And makes the nations prove
The bleffings of his truth and grace,
The wonders of his love.

4 The pure, the faithful, and the juft,
My favour fhall enjoy ;

Thefe are the friends that I will truft,
The fervants I'll employ.

5 The wretch that deals in fly deceit,
I'll not endure a night;
The liar's tongue 1 ever hate,
And banish from my fight.
6 I'll purge my family around,

And make the wicked flee;
So fhall my house be ever found
A dwelling fit for thee.

Prayer beard, and Zion reflored.

ET Zion and her fons rejoice;

Behold the promis'd hour!

Her God hath heard her mourning voice,
And will exalt his power.

Are precious in our eyes;
Thofe ruins fhall be built again,
And all that duft fhall rife.

3 The Lord will raife Jerufalem,
And ftand in glory there

Nations fhall bow and own his name,
And worship in his fear.

4 He fits a fovereign on his throne,
With pity in his eyes;

He hears the dying prifoners groan,
And fees their wants arife.

And when like wand'ring fheep we ftray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people, we his care,
Our fouls and all our mortal frame;
What lafting honours fhall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name!

4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful fongs, High as the heaven our voices raise;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with founding praise.
5 Thou Lord art good, thou Lord art kind;
Great is thy grace, thy mercy fure;
And the whole race of men fhall find
Thy truth from age to age endure.
6 Wide as the world is thy command;
Vaft as eternity thy love:

Firm as a rock, thy truth fhall stand,
When rolling years fhall cease to move.

A Pfalm for the Mafter of a Family.

O juftice and of grace I fing,
And pay to Gcd my vows;

Thy grace and juftice, heavenly King,
Teach me to rule my houfe.

2 Now to my tent, O God, repair,

And make thy fervant wife; I'll fuffer nothing near me there, That fhall offend thine eyes.

3 The man who doth his neighbour wrong,
By falfehood or by force;

The fcornful eye, the fland'rous tongue,
I'll drive them from my doors.

Disease and death, at his command,
Arreft us, and cut fhort our days.
2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our fun go down at noon;
Thy years are one eternal day;
And must thy people die fo foon?

3 Yet in the midst of death and grief,
This tho't our forrow fhall affuage;
Our Father and our Saviour live,
Christ is the fame thro' ev'ry age.
4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid,
Heav'n is the building of his hand
This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade,
And all be chang'd at his command.

5 The ftarry curtains of the fky
Like garments fhall be laid afide

But ftill thy throne ftands firm and high,
Thy church forever muft abide.

6 Before thy face, thy church fhall live,
And on thy throne thy children reign;
This dying world fhall they furvive,
And the dead faints be rais'd again.
