There was therefore a need of new hymn books. The 
 first of note after the beginning of the movement was the 
 Psalms and Hymns adapted to the Services of the Church 
 of England, pubHshed in 1836 by W. J. Hall of Tottenham. 
 This has generally been regarded as High Church, for no 
 reason apparent other than the mitre embossed upon the 
 cover, or its arrangement of the hymns under the Sundays 
 of the Church Year, after the model of Heber. It won the 
 approval of the Bishop of London, and a circulation of 
 
 4,000,000 copies is claimed for it^^. It represented the Ox- 
 ford leaders in no way, and was unacceptable to them^^.

 iiiiMx^S AND HYMNALS. ■ — — tl 
 
 Sib, — The hymn, "Hark, the herald angels sing," is, I find, No. 602 
 in Wesley's Hymn-book. I am surprised that it has escaped your notice. 
 The last two verses (6 and 7) in this the original copy, are as follows : — 
 
 Come, Desire of Nations, come, 
 Pix in us Thy humble home ; 
 Ilise, the woman's conquering seed, 
 Bruise in us the serpent's head. 
 
 Adam's likeness now efface, 
 
 Stamp Thine image in its place ; 
 
 Second Adam from above, 
 
 Reinstate us in Thy love. 
 I almost wonder that you have put so few asterisks to the various 
 hymns suggested by your different correspondents. If we are to have a 
 really good Church Hymnal, we must have a sufficient variety, provided 
 always that the hymns be reverent in tone and not deficient in poetry. 
 Your readers may Avell thank Mr. Gurney for his most truthful remarks 
 about Mr. Kemble's Hymn-book. It is really astonishing that men of 
 taste and piety should rejoice in the large number of unworthy hymns to 
 be found in it. A worse selection still, although it has obtained a very large 
 circulation, is that prepared by Mr. Hall, of Tottenham,* and commonly 
 called "The Bishop of London's Hymn-book," — I suppose on account of 
 its dedication to the late Dr. Blomfield, It is the very type of a dull, 
 dead, via media state of things. Many of the hymns are hopelessly bad, 
 whilst others, in which there was originally any fire of devotion, have 
 been vigorously reduced to a more equable standard, and paired down to 
 the fitting level of indifferent congregations. My increasing wonder is, 
 that the book has been adopted so largely and so long, and I cannot but 
 think that its undeserved popularity will soon come to a close. 
 
 I did not intend to write so much, but the subject grows in interest 
 and I must ask you to accept that fact as my apology.

TO THE RIGHT REVEREND 
 
 CHARLES JAMES 
 LORD BISHOP OF LONDON 
 
 THIS SELECTION 
 
 OF 
 
 PSALMS AND HYMNS 
 
 IS WITH HIS lordship's PERMISSION 
 MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED 
 
 OBLIGED AND FAITHFUL SERVANT 
 
 THE EDITOR. 
 
PREFACE, 
 
 Selections of Psalms and Hymns are already so 
 numerous, that any addition may perhaps appear unne- 
 cessary. The Compiler of the present volume has, how- 
 ever, met with none, in his judgment, so fully calculated 
 to promote uniformity in this part of divine worship, as 
 to forbid the present attempt. 
 
 His leading object has been to select those portions 
 of every Psalm which best illustrate its general subject, 
 and are calculated to be practically useful ; together 
 with such Hymns as, elevating and warming the heart, 
 without inflaming the imagination or offending the judg- 
 ment, may at once, by their expression and sentiment, 
 commend themselves both to the educated and to the 
 unlettered Christian. Portions of four verses only have 
 been chosen in compliance with the custom which has 
 obtained in most of our Churches, except where the unity 
 of the subject required an addition. 
 
 Besides the Occasional Hymns, four have been so 
 applied to every Sunday in the year as to illustrate the 
 
VI PREFACE. 
 
 subjects and unity of the Services appointed for the 
 day. Thus, the subjects of the Hymns for the First 
 Sunday in Advent are respectively — " Acknowledgment 
 of Guilt," — " Prayer for Sanctification," — " The Coming 
 and Reign of Messiah," — and " The Blessings of Christ's 
 Advent." A reference to the Morning Lesson, the 
 Epistle, the Evening Lesson, and the Gospel for the day, 
 will shew the connexion. A similar unity will be found 
 in the Services for every Sunday throughout the year, 
 and in the Hymns which are applied to them.* 
 
 To each Psalm and Hymn are prefixed a heading 
 descriptive of its subject, and the name of an appropriate 
 Tune : and to each Hymn a reference to a passage of 
 Scripture in the Services for the day. 
 
 The work is published in octavo, ISmo, and 24mo. 
 To the Octavo edition four Indexes are added : one, of 
 the first lines of the Psalms and Hymns ; another, to direct 
 the choice of Psalms proper for the different parts of the 
 Service, by classing them, as far as they would allow, 
 according to their respective characters, whether of praise, — 
 penitence and supplication, — or precept ; a third, of the 
 Subjects of the Psalms and Hymns ; and a fourth, of the 
 Texts of Scripture illustrated. By this arrangement, the 
 Clergy may be enabled readily to select a Psalm or 
 Hymn adapted to a particular Discourse. 
 
 * For a full illustration of the principles upon which this work is 
 formed, together with an analysis of the appointed Services for each 
 Sunday in the year, see CJiristian Rcmonhrancer for February and 
 March, 1836. 
 
PREFACE. Vll 
 
 The Editor has now the grateful task of acknowledging 
 his obligations to many friends for their valuable contri- 
 butions, and especially for the kindness and judgment 
 with which they examined the successive sheets. To one 
 he owes peculiar thanks — not only for his continued and 
 friendly assistance during the progress of the work, but 
 also for his very liberal contribution of original Psalms 
 and Hymns ; many of the latter having been written upon 
 subjects which had hitherto remained untouched. He is 
 also bound to acknowledge with gratitude the condescen- 
 sion of the distinguished Prelate to whom the volume is 
 inscribed, in permitting the sheets, after they had received 
 all the improvements which the various criticisms of friends 
 could suggest, to be submitted to himself for his general 
 opinion ; beyond which the Editor would not be understood 
 as claiming the sanction of his Lordship's approval. 
 
 The glory of God, exempHfied in " the unsearchable 
 riches of Christ," is the great end contemplated in this 
 Selection. That in ministering to this object it may pro- 
 mote the comfort and edification of " the followers of the 
 Lamb," is the fervent prayer with which it is affectionately 
 commended to the members of the Church of England.

THE 
 
 PSALMS OF DAVID. 
 
 PSALM I. 
 
 The Blessedness of the Righteous. 
 ST. Ann's, c. m. 
 
 HOW blest is he who ne'er consents 
 
 By ill advice to walk ; 
 Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor sits 
 
 Where scorners love to talk. 
 
 But makes the perfect law of God 
 
 His study and delig"ht ; 
 Devoutly reads therein by day, 
 
 And meditates by night. 
 
 Like some fair tree, which, fed by stream> 
 
 Its fruit in season bears, 
 His life shall prosper, and success 
 
 Attend his latest years. 
 
 For God approves the just man's ways ; 
 
 To happiness they tend ; 
 But all the paths that sinners tread 
 
 In sure destruction end. 
 
PSALM II. 
 
 The Sovereignty of Messiah, 
 
 IRISH. C. M. 
 
 WHY do the nations madly rage 
 
 Before Jehovah's throne ; 
 And impious war their rulers wage 
 
 Against th' anointed One ? 
 
 For he who sits above the sky 
 Shall all their threats deride ; 
 
 Shall speak in anger from on high, 
 And crush their haughty pride. 
 
 The Lord hath said, — *' I set my King 
 
 On Sion's holy hill : 
 To him shall earth her off 'rings bring. 
 
 And do his sov'reign will." 
 
 Attend, ye Powers ! confess your Lord, 
 
 And bow before his face : 
 How rash the men who scorn his word ; 
 
 How blest, who seek his grace ! 
 
 PSALM HL 
 
 Confidence in God, 
 
 BEDFORD. C. M. 
 
 WHEN hosts of enemies assail, 
 
 I seek thy face, O Lord ; 
 And though they say, my help must fail, 
 
 I trust thy faithful word. 
 
 For thou, my God, art ever nigh, 
 
 And wilt protect me still ; 
 Thy gracious ear hath heard my cry. 
 
 From thine eternal hill. 
 
 I laid me down and slept ; thy hand 
 Preserv'd me through the night : 
 
 I woke again when thy command 
 Restor'd the morning light. 
 
 I will not fear ten thousand foes ; 
 
 They cannot injure me : 
 Salvation still shall compass those, 
 
 W\\o put their trust in thee. 
 
PSALM IV. 
 
 The good Man's Trust in God. 
 
 SAVOY. L.M. 
 
 TO thee, my God, when troubles press, 
 My trembling" soul for help shall fly : 
 Hope of thy saints in all distress, 
 In mercy hear my humble cry. 
 
 Ye sons of men, from sin depart ; 
 Before his presence stand in awe ; 
 Commune in secret with your heart; 
 And learn, and keep his righteous law. 
 
 Let others covet earthly store ; 
 Lord, fill our hearts with light and peace 
 Those heav'nly gifts delight us more 
 Than all their harvests' large increase. 
 
 Secure from harm, since thou art near, 
 Father, I lay me down to rest : 
 What should thy happy children fear, 
 With thy protecting presence blest ? 
 
 PSALM V. 
 
 Faith and Supplication. 
 
 DEVIZES. CM. 
 
 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear 
 
 My voice ascending high ; 
 To thee will I address my prayer. 
 
 To thee lift up mine eye. 
 
 Oft to thy house will I resort, 
 To praise thy goodness there ; 
 
 I will frequent thy holy court. 
 And worship in thy fear. 
 
 O may thy Spirit guide my feet 
 In ways of truth and grace ! 
 
 Make thou the path of duty straight, 
 And plain before my face. 
 
 To all that love and fear thy name 
 
 Thy blessing shall extend ; 
 Thy favor, Lord, shall compass them. 
 
 And, like a shield, defend. 
 
 B 2 
 
PSALM VI. 
 
 Deprecation of God's Anger. 
 angels' song. l. m. 
 HAVE mercy, Lord ; thy suppliant save, 
 And heal the wounds thy justice gave ; 
 Nor bid thy fearful judg-ments roll 
 In angry billows o'er my soul. 
 
 My trembling heart bemoans its sin, 
 And feels the bitter pangs within • 
 O God, my help, in pity save. 
 For who shall thank thee in the grave ? 
 
 How long the weary night appears ! 
 My couch is water 'd with my tears : 
 Revil'd by those who fear not thee. 
 My strength consumes with misery. 
 
 Yet shall my heavy heart rejoice. 
 For God regards my mournful voice : 
 My God shall bid the wicked cease. 
 Receive my prayer, and give me peace. 
 
 PSALM VIL 
 
 God's Protection implored. 
 
 WILMINGTON. P.M. 
 
 O THOU, the Holy and the Just, 
 My God, in whom I place my trust. 
 
 Deliver me from wo : 
 Preserve me with thy watchful care. 
 Nor leave my helpless soul to bear 
 
 The vengeance of the foe. 
 
 O let the cause of truth prevail ; 
 Let ev'ry evil project fail 
 
 That wicked men devise : 
 Thy wrath, O Lord, will fiercely burn 
 Against the souls that will not turn 
 
 From vanity and lies. 
 
 But thou, who searchest ev ry heart. 
 Wilt never let thy love depart 
 
 From one who seeks thy face ; 
 Thou art my help, and I will raise 
 To thee the voice of constant praise. 
 
 For thy unbounded grace. 
 
PSALM VIII. 
 
 Condescension of the Almighty. 
 ST. Ann's, cm. 
 O LORD, to whom all creatures bow 
 
 Within this earthly frame ; 
 Throughout the world how great art thou, 
 How glorious is thy name ! 
 
 When heaven, thy beauteous work on high, 
 
 Employs my wond'ring sight; 
 The moon, that nightly rules the sky, 
 
 With stars of feebler light: 
 
 Lord, what is man, that thou shouldst love 
 
 To keep him in thy mind ? 
 Or son of man, that thou shouldst prove 
 
 To him so wondrous kind ? 
 
 O thou, to whom all creatures bow 
 
 Within this earthly frame ; 
 Through all the world how great art thou ! 
 
 How glorious is thy name ! 
 
 PSALM IX. 
 
 Praise for God's Goodness. 
 
 CAMBRIDGE NEW. C. M. 
 
 TO celebrate thy praises. Lord, 
 
 I will my heart prepare ; 
 And to the listening world thy works, — 
 
 Thy wondrous works, declare. 
 
 The thought of them shall to my soul 
 
 Exalted pleasure bring ; 
 Whilst to thy name, O Lord Most High ! 
 
 Triumphantly I sing. 
 
 All those who have thy goodness prov'd, 
 
 Will in thy truth confide ; 
 Thy mercy ne'er forsook the man. 
 
 That on thy help relied. 
 
 Sing praises, therefore, to the Lord, 
 
 From Sion, his abode ; 
 Proclaim his deeds, till all the world 
 
 Confess no other God. 
 
PSALM X. 
 
 Trust in Almighty God. 
 
 ABRIDGE. CM. 
 
 O GOD, the help of all thy saints, 
 
 Our hope in time of ill ; 
 We'll trust thee, though thy face be hid, 
 
 And seek thy presence still. 
 
 Why should the men of pride and sin 
 
 Thy truth and power defy ; 
 And boast, as if their evil way 
 
 Were hidden from thine eye ? 
 
 Lord, thou hast seen ; arise and save ; 
 
 To thee our cause we bring ; 
 Reign thou in righteousness and power, 
 
 For thou alone art King. 
 
 All our desires to thee are known ; 
 
 Thy help is ever near ; 
 O first prepare our hearts to pray. 
 
 And then accept our prayer. 
 
 PSALM XL 
 
 Confidence in God's Providence and Justice. 
 
 WILTSHIRE. C. M. 
 
 IN thee, O Lord, I put my trust ; 
 
 Then wherefore should I flee ? 
 When hosts of enemies conspire. 
 
 My refuge is in thee. 
 
 The Lord is in his holy place ; 
 
 In heaven he sets his throne ; 
 His eyes behold the sons of men ; 
 
 To him their works are known. 
 
 In all the trials of the just, 
 God will their cause defend ; 
 
 But wicked men provoke his wrath. 
 And judgment is their end. 
 
 The righteous Lord will righteous deeds 
 
 With signal favor grace ; 
 And to the upright man disclose 
 
 The brightness of his face. 
 
PSALM XII. 
 
 For Help against the Ungodly. 
 
 MARGATE LENT. S. M. 
 
 HELP, Lord ! the godly fail ; 
 Help, for the feeble flee ; 
 And double hearts and tongues prevail, 
 Which spurn, O God, at thee. 
 
 With vanity and lies 
 They cheat the simple soul ; 
 Teach men thy warnings to despise, 
 And scoff at thy control. 
 
 But, Lord, to thee we cry. 
 And we have heard thy voice ; 
 Thy hand the mourner's tear shall dry, 
 And bid the poor rejoice. 
 
 As silver seven times tried. 
 Thy words, O Lord, are pure ; 
 Though ills abound on ev'ry side, 
 Thy promises endure. 
 
 PSALM XIIL 
 
 God the Hope of the Righteous, 
 
 ISLINGTON. L. M. 
 
 HOW long, O Lord, shall I complain, 
 Like one who seeks his God in vain ? 
 Wilt thou thy face for ever hide. 
 Shall I still pray, and be denied ? 
 
 How would the powers of darkness boast, 
 If one poor suppliant were lost ! 
 But I have trusted in thy grace. 
 And shall again behold thy face. 
 
 W^hate'er my foes or fears suggest, 
 Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest ; 
 My heart shall own thy love, and raise 
 My cheerful voice in songs of praise. 
 
PSALM XIV. 
 
 All Men Sinners. 
 ST. bride's, s. m. 
 
 *' NO God !" the fool hath said : 
 They choose an evil way ; 
 Their thoughts are all corrupt and vain, 
 Their feet are gone astray. 
 
 The Lord from heaven most high, 
 Look'd down on all mankind : 
 There was not one, that sought indeed 
 The living God to find. 
 
 Who shall restore the lost ! 
 Lord, when wilt thou fulfil 
 Thy promise once to Israel made 
 From Sion's holy hill ? 
 
 O bring the wand'rers back ; 
 The captive souls restore ; 
 Then Jacob shall rejoice again, 
 And Israel weep no more. 
 
 PSALM XV. 
 
 A Citizen of Sion. 
 
 ST. Stephen's, cm. 
 
 LORD, who's the happy man that may 
 
 To thy blest courts repair ; 
 Not stranger-like to visit them. 
 But to inhabit there ? 
 
 The man who walks in pious ways, 
 And works with righteous hands ; 
 
 Who trusts his Maker's promises. 
 And follows his commands : 
 
 Who speaks the meaning of his heart, 
 Nor slanders with his tongue ; 
 
 Who scarce believes an ill report. 
 To do his neighbour wrong. 
 
 This is the man, who, rais'd from death. 
 Shall reach that high abode ; 
 
 Where all the spirits of the just 
 Are perfect with their God. 
 
PSALM XV I. 
 
 Gratitude to God, and Love to his People. 
 
 WIMBORNE. L. M. 
 
 FATHER of all, my soul defend ; 
 
 On thee my stedfast hopes depend ; 
 
 ** Thou, mighty Lord," my heart hath cried, 
 
 " Thou art my God, and none beside." 
 
 No gifts, by mortal hand bestow'd, 
 Increase the treasures of my God ; 
 Yet shall my heart to him incline, 
 Whose stedfast virtue marks him thine. 
 
 Thee will I praise, thou faithful guide, 
 Wliose counsels o'er my life preside. 
 For safety through thy ceaseless care, 
 For choicest gifts vouchsaf'd to prayer. 
 
 Thou from the grave my soul shalt free, 
 And raise my dust to live with thee ; 
 Where pleasures, all unmixt with wo. 
 At thy right hand for ever flow. 
 
 PSALM XVIL 
 
 The Vanily of Life, and Hope in the Resurrection. 
 ST. olave's. l. m. 
 O GOD, on whom my hopes rely. 
 In thee I trust, to thee I cry ; 
 Keep me from sin and danger free. 
 And guide my footsteps home to thee. 
 
 This life's a dream, an empty show ; 
 But that bright world to which I go 
 Hath joys substantial and divine : 
 When shall I wake, and call them mine ! 
 
 glorious hour ! O blest abode ! 
 
 1 shall be near, and like my God : 
 No more shall flesh and sin control 
 The sacred pleasures of my soul. 
 
 My dust shall slumber in the ground. 
 Till the last trumpet's joyful sound ; 
 Then burst the chains with glad surprise. 
 And in thy glorious image rise. 
 
PSALM XVIII. 
 
 God the Rock and Defence of his Saints. 
 
 BRUNSWICK. L. M. 
 
 NO change of times shall ever shock 
 My firm affection, Lord, to thee ; 
 For thou hast ab»yays been a rock, 
 A fortress, a defence to me. 
 
 Thou art my Saviour, thou my God ; 
 My trust is in thy mighty power ; 
 Thou art my shield from foes abroad, 
 At home my safeguard and my tower. 
 
 Let the eternal Lord be prais'd, 
 The mighty rock on which we rest ; 
 O'er highest heaven his name be rais'd. 
 Through earth his great salvation blest. 
 
 O God, to celebrate thy fame, 
 My grateful voice to heaven Til raise ; 
 And nations, strangers to thy name. 
 Shall learn to sing their Maker's praise. 
 
 PSALM XIX. (PART I.) 
 
 God's Glory displayed in the Heavens. 
 
 UNIVERSITY. CM. 
 
 THE heavens declare thy glory. Lord, 
 
 Which that alone can fill ; 
 The firmament and stars express 
 
 Their great Creator's skill. 
 
 The dawn of each returning day 
 Fresh beams of knowledge brings ; 
 
 And from the dark return of night 
 Divine instruction springs. 
 
 Their sacred lesson to no realm. 
 
 No region, is confin'd ; 
 'Tis nature's language, and addrest 
 
 Alike to all mankind. 
 
 Wide as the circling sun they spread 
 
 Thy glorious truth abroad ; 
 And teach the wond'ring world to sing 
 
 The praises of our God. 
 
PSALM XIX. (part II.) 
 
 The Treasures of God's Word. 
 
 FALCON STREET. S. M. 
 
 BEHOLD, the morning sun 
 Begins his glorious way ; 
 His beams through all the nations run. 
 And light and life convey. 
 
 But, Lord, thy word supplies 
 A brighter, holier light ; 
 It trains the simple to be wise, 
 And gives the blind their sight. 
 
 How perfect is thy word ! 
 Thy judgments too, how just I 
 To thy unfailing promise. Lord, 
 May men securely trust. 
 
 While with my heart and tongue, 
 I spread thy praise abroad ; 
 Accept the worship, and the song. 
 My Saviour, and my God. 
 
 PSALM XX. 
 
 For Protection against national Foes. 
 
 ROCKINGHAM. 
 
 HEAR us, O Lord, in time of need. 
 And let thy name our cause defend ; 
 Grant that our efforts may succeed, 
 And vict'ry on our steps attend. 
 
 On horse and chariot some rely ; 
 And some in numbers make their boast ; 
 Our trust is in the Lord most high ; 
 His favor is itself an host. 
 
 In his salvation we rejoice, 
 And lift our banners in his name ; 
 Lord, hear our supplicating voice. 
 And put our haughty foes to shame. 
 
 O succour and preserve our King, 
 And bless with peace our favor'd land ; 
 That we may still thy glory sing. 
 By whose protecting care we stand. 
 
PSALM XXI. 
 
 Gratitude for national Mercy and Protection. 
 
 ASHLEY. C. M» 
 
 THE King, O Lord, with songs of praise, 
 Shall in thy strength rejoice ; 
 
 And, blest with thy salvation, raise 
 To heaven his cheerful voice. 
 
 Thy sure defence through nations round 
 Hath spread his pow'rful name ; 
 
 And his successful actions crown'd 
 With majesty and fame. 
 
 Then let the King on God alone 
 
 For timely aid rely ; 
 Whose blessings shall support his throne, 
 
 And all his wants supply. 
 
 Thus, Lord, thy wondrous power declare, 
 
 And thus exalt thy fame ; 
 While we glad songs of praise prepare 
 
 For thine almighty name. 
 
 PSALM XXn. (part I.) 
 
 Prayer for Help. 
 
 BATH. C. M. 
 
 O GOD, my God, in mercy hear 
 
 The voice of my complaint ; 
 By day I shed the fruitless tear, 
 
 And in the night I faint. 
 
 Our fathers trusted in the Lord, 
 
 He to their rescue came ; 
 Art thou not faithful to thy word ; 
 
 Is not thy love the same ? 
 
 They trusted, and were help'd, but I 
 Have none to soothe my pain ; 
 
 The scorners, as they pass me, cry, 
 " He trusts his God in vain." 
 
 O Lord, my strength, go not away, 
 
 Still keep me with thy love ; 
 And raise me, at the last great day, 
 
 To sing thy praise above. 
 
PSALM XXII. (part iiO 
 
 Exhortation to Praise and Obedience. 
 
 DEVIZES. c. M. 
 
 ALL ye that fear him, praise the Lord ; 
 
 His sacred name adore ; 
 And ye his chosen Israel, 
 
 Praise him for evermore. 
 
 Let all the glad converted world 
 
 To him their homage pay ; 
 And scattered nations of the earth 
 
 One sov'reign Lord obey. 
 
 With humble worship to his throne 
 
 Let all for aid resort ; 
 That power, which first their being gave. 
 
 Alone can give support. 
 
 Let them, O Lord, thy truth declare, 
 And shew thy righteousness ; 
 
 That children, yet unborn, may learn 
 Thy glory to confess. 
 
 PSALM XXIIL 
 
 Confidence in God's special Support and Presence* 
 
 HELEN. D. C. M. 
 
 THE Lord himself, the mighty Lord, 
 
 Vouchsafes to be my guide ; 
 The Shepherd, by whose constant care 
 
 My wants are all supplied. 
 In tender grass he makes me feed, 
 
 And gently there repose ; 
 Then leads me to cool fountains, where 
 
 Refreshing water flows. 
 
 His love reclaims my wand'ring soul. 
 
 And, to his endless praise. 
 Guides me with humble zeal to walk 
 
 In his most righteous ways. 
 I pass the gloomy vale of death. 
 
 From fear and danger free ; 
 For there his aiding rod and staff 
 
 Defend and comfort me. 
 
PSALM XXIV. 
 
 Messiah triumphant, 
 
 ASHLEY. C. M. 
 
 LIFT up jour heads, eternal g-ates ; 
 
 Unfold to entertain 
 The King of Glory : see, he comes 
 
 With his celestial train ! 
 
 Who is the King- of Glory, who ? — 
 The Lord for streng-th renown'd ; 
 
 In battle mighty, o'er his foes 
 Eternal victor crown'd. 
 
 Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates. 
 
 In state to entertain 
 The King of Glory : lo ! he comes 
 
 With all his ransom'd train. 
 
 Who is the King of Glory, who ? 
 
 The Lord of Hosts renown'd ; 
 Triumphant over sin and death. 
 
 Eternal victor crown'd. 
 
 PSALM XXV. 
 
 For Guidance and Preservation. 
 
 MOUNT EPHRAIM. S. M. 
 
 MINE eyes and my desire 
 Are ever to the Lord ; 
 I love to plead his promises. 
 And rest upon his word. 
 
 O lead me in thy truth ; 
 Instruct me in thy law ; 
 Thou God of my salvation, still 
 To thee my footsteps draw. 
 
 Preserve my soul from death. 
 Nor put my hope to shame ; 
 For I have plac'd my only trust 
 In thine almighty name. 
 
 With humble faith I wait 
 To see thy face again ; 
 O be it ne'er of Israel said, 
 
 " He sought the Lord in vain." 
 
PSALM XXVI. 
 
 For Purity of Heart. 
 
 BEDFORD. C. M. 
 
 TRY me, O Lord ; thy searching eyes 
 My deeds and thoughts have known ; 
 
 On thee my trembling soul relies, 
 Secure in thee alone. 
 
 O search me still ; my heart and reins 
 
 With strictest view survey ; 
 And, as thy love my hope sustains. 
 
 Thy truth shall guide my way.

 With joyful footsteps trod ; 
 My soul delights to feel thee nigh.

 Thy praise will I prolong ; 
 While Israel's favor'd sons unite 
 
 To raise the thankful song.

 God the Father and Friend of his People. 
 ST. bene't. l. m. 
 
 O LORD, our guard, our light, our way, 
 What dangers shall our souls dismay ? 
 God of our life ! whom need we fear 
 When foes assault, if thou art near ? 
 
 One wish, with holy transport warm. 
 Our hearts have form'd, and yet shall form ; 
 One thing we ask ; — to spend our days 
 In Sion's courts, with prayer and praise. 
 
 Though ev'ry earthly friend depart. 
 And love forsake a parent's heart, 
 The Lord, on whom our hopes depend, 
 Will prove a father and a friend. 
 
 Ye trembling saints ! in ev'ry strait 
 On God with sacred courage wait : 
 His grace will life and strength afford : 
 O wait then daily on the Lord.

 With everlasting peace.

 My everlasting song.

 HE'S blest whose sins have pardon g-ain'd, 
 No more in judgment to appear ; 
 Whose guilt remission has obtain'd, 
 And whose repentance is sincere. 
 
 Resolv'd to hide my sin no more, 
 I pour'd my prayer, O Lord, to thee ; 
 And humbly did thy grace implore 
 That mercy might be shewn to me. 
 
 For this the just, by fervent prayer.

 To sing glad songs of praise. 
 
 How faithful is the word of God ;

 He justice loves, and all the earth 
 
 Is with his goodness crown'd. 
 
 How happy, then, are they to whom 
 
 The Lord as God is known ; 
 Whom he, from all the world beside, 
 
 Hath chosen for his own. 
 
 The riches of thy mercy, Lordj 
 
 Do thou to us extend ; 
 Since we, for all we want, or wish. 
 
 On thee alone depend.

 THROUGH all the changing scenes of life. 
 
 In trouble and in joy,

 My heart and tongue employ. 
 
 The hosts of God encamp around 
 
 The dwellings of the just : 
 Deliv Vance he affords to all, 
 
 Who on his succour trust. 
 
 O make but trial of his love ; 
 
 Experience will decide 
 How blest are they, and only they,

 Have nothing else to fear ; 
 Make you his service your delight,

 On God thy stedfast thoughts employ ;

 Record the wonders of his love. 
 
 Lord, whom like thee shall sinners find, 
 For ever just, for ever kind ; 
 Like thee prepared th' afflicted poor 
 From lawless insult to secure ? 
 
 For ever blest be Israel's Lord, 
 The God by heaven and earth ador'd ; 
 Who loves his servants' cause to plead. 
 And crow^ns with peace their favord head.

 NEW SABBATH. L. M. 
 
 THY mercy, Lord, our only hope, 
 The highest orb of heaven transcends ; 
 Thy sacred truth's unmeasured scope 
 Beyond the spreading* sky extends. 
 
 Thy justice like the hills remains; 
 Unfathom'd depths thy judgments are ; 
 Thy providence the world sustains, 
 And all creation is thy care. 
 
 The saints shall to thy courts be led. 
 To banquet on thy love's repast ; 
 And drink, as from the fountain head, 
 Of joys that shall for ever last. 
 
 Thee for our fount of life we own ; 
 Light in thy light alone we see ; 
 O hear us from thy heav'nly throne ; 
 O save us, for we trust in thee. 
 
 PSALM XXXVIL 
 
 The vain Hope of Sinners, and Confidence of the Just, 
 ST. martin's, p. m. 
 
 THOUGH wicked men grow rich and great, 
 Yet let not their successful state 
 
 Thine anger, or thine envy raise : 
 For all their hope shall quickly pass, 
 Cut down like flowers, or tender grass, 
 
 Whose fading beauty soon decays. 
 
 Depend on God, and him obey, 
 So thou within the land shalt stay. 
 
 Secure from danger and from want : 
 Make his commands thy chief delight. 
 And he, thy duty to requite, 
 
 Shall all thine earnest wishes grant. 
 God to the just will aid afl'ord ; 
 Their only safeguard is the Lord ; 
 
 Their strength in time of need is he : 
 Because on him their hopes depend. 
 The Lord will timely succour send. 
 
 And from tlie wicked set them free. 
 
PSALM XXXVIII. 
 
 Prayer under God's Chastisement. 
 
 WINDSOR. c. M. 
 
 THY chast'ning" wrath, O Lord, restrain. 
 
 Though we deserve it all : 
 Let not on us the fearful weight 
 
 Of thy displeasure fall. 
 
 The sins that like a deluge swell. 
 
 Our sinking heads overflow ; 
 And for our failing strength to bear 
 
 Too great a burden grow. 
 
 Lord, our desires are known to thee ; 
 
 To thee we bring our grief ; 
 O hear the voice of our complaint, 
 
 And grant us swift relief. 
 
 O Lord our God, forsake us not ; 
 
 Be thou not far away ; 
 Make haste to help us, gracious God, 
 
 Our safety and our stay. 
 
 PSALM XXXIX. (part i.) 
 
 The Frailty of Life. 
 
 BURFORD. C. M. 
 
 LORD, let me know my term of days 
 
 How soon my life will end ; 
 And all the train of ills disclose 
 
 Which this frail state attend. 
 
 My life, thou know'st, is but a span ; 
 
 As nothing are my years ; 
 And man, when in his best estate. 
 
 But vanity appears. 
 
 Man, like a shadow, vainly walks, 
 
 With fruitless cares opprest ; 
 He heaps up wealth, but cannot tell 
 
 By whom 'twill be possest. 
 
 Why then should I, with anxious thought, 
 
 To this vain world attend ? 
 On thee alone my stedfast hope 
 
 Shall ever, Lord, depend. 
 
PSALM XXXIX. (PART II.) 
 
 For Pity on our Frailty, 
 
 CROWLE. c. M. 
 
 LORD, hear my cry, regard my tears, 
 
 And hearken to my prayer ; 
 Who sojourn like a stranger here, 
 
 As all my fathers were. 
 
 The dreadful burden of thy wrath 
 
 In mercy soon remove ; 
 Lest my frail flesh too weak to bear 
 
 The heavy load should prove. 
 
 For when thou chast'nest man for sin. 
 
 Thou mak'st his beauty fade ; 
 Which, like a garment, wears away, 
 
 By fretting moths decay'd. 
 
 spare me yet a little time ; 
 My wasted powers restore ; 
 
 Before I go away from hence. 
 And shall be seen no more. 
 
 PSALM XL. 
 
 Obedience better than Sacrifice. 
 
 CHINA. L.M. 
 
 1 WAITED meekly for the Lord, 
 Till he vouchsaf 'd a kind reply : 
 He did his gracious ear afford. 
 
 And heard from heaven my humble cr}-. 
 
 How shall my grateful heart recount 
 
 The works, O God, which thou hast wrought! 
 
 The treasures of thy love surmount 
 
 The power of numbers, speech, and thought. 
 
 I know that thou hast not desir'd 
 Off 'rings and sacrifice alone ; 
 Nor blood of guiltless beasts required 
 For man's transgression to atone. 
 
 O help me, therefore, to fulfil 
 The sacred truth thy words impart ; 
 Make me to love thy perfect will. 
 And write thy law upon my heart. 
 
PSALM XLI.

 DEVIZES. c. M. 
 
 HAPPY the man whose tender care 
 
 ReUeves the poor distrest : 
 When troubles compass him around, 
 
 The Lord shall give him rest. 
 
 The Lord his life, with blessings crown'd. 
 
 In safety shall prolong ; 
 And disappoint the will of those, 
 
 Who seek to do him wrong. 
 
 If he, in languishing estate, 
 
 Opprest with sickness lie ; 
 The Lord will sooth his bed of pain. 
 
 And inward strength supply. 
 
 Therefore let Israel's Lord and God 
 
 From age to age be blest ; 
 And all the people's glad applause 
 
 With loud Amens exprest. 
 
 PSALM XLII. 
 
 Thirsting after God, 
 
 MARTYRDOM. C. M. 
 
 AS pants the hart for cooling streams, 
 
 When heated in the chase ; 
 So longs my soul, O God, for thee. 
 
 And thy refreshing grace. 
 
 For thee, my God, the living God, 
 My thirsty soul doth pine ; 
 
 when shall I behold thy face. 
 Thou Majesty divine ! 
 
 1 sigh, with anxious cares opprest. 
 
 To think of happier days, 
 When with the joyful crowd I went 
 To sing glad songs of praise. 
 
 Why art thou troubled, O my soul ! 
 
 His praise I yet shall sing ; 
 Hope still in him, who is my God, 
 
 My health's eternal spring.

 My earnest hope, my fervent prayer ; 
 From all my sorrows set me free. 
 From all the ills I dread, or bear. 
 
 Let me with light and truth be blest. 
 To lead me safely in thy way ; 
 Till on thy holy hill I rest. 
 And in thy sacred temple pray. 
 
 Then to thine altar will I go. 
 
 To thee my God, my only joy ; 
 
 My grateful heart with love shall glow, 
 
 While songs of praise my lips employ. 
 
 Then why cast down, my soul, and why 
 So much opprest with doubt and fear : 
 On God, thy God, for help rely ; 
 His grace the troubled heart will cheer. 
 
 PSALM XLIV. 
 
 For Succour against our Foes. 
 
 OXFORD. C. M. 
 
 GREAT God of hosts, our ears have heard. 
 
 Our fathers oft have told. 
 What wonders thou hast done for them j 
 
 Thy glorious deeds of old. 
 
 Not by their might was safety wrought, 
 
 Nor vict'ry by their sword ; 
 But thou didst guard the chosen race 
 
 Who thy great name ador'd. 
 
 Great God of hosts ! their God, and ours ; 
 
 Our only Lord and King ; 
 Let that right arm which fought for them. 
 
 To us salvation bring. 
 
 To thee the glory we'll ascribe, 
 
 By whom the conquest came ; 
 And, in triumphant songs of praise, 
 
 W^ill celebrate thy name.

 AWAKE, my lieart, witli joy record 
 The triumplis of thy glorious Lord ; 
 My tongue, divinely guided, sing 
 Messiah's praise, — th' eternal King. 
 Ride on and conquer, mighty Lord ! 
 Direct the arrows of thy word ; 
 Thy foes subdue, thy conquests spread, 
 Let mercy's triumph crown thy head. 
 
 Thy throne, O God, shall ever last, 
 Ages to come, from ages past ; 
 And all the willing nations bless 
 The sceptre of thy righteousness. 
 
 Thou lovest truth, thou Holy One ! 
 Grace, mercy, peace, adorn thy throne ; 
 And God, thy God, hath largely shed 
 The oil of gladness o'er thy head. 
 
 PSALM XLVL 
 
 God the sure Refuge of his Church. 
 
 WILMINGTON. P. M. 
 
 GOD is our refuge in distress, 
 
 A present help when dangers press. 
 
 In him will we confide : 
 Though earth were from her centre tost. 
 And mountains in the ocean lost. 
 
 Secure shall we abide. 
 
 Above the tempest's rudest shock, 
 Fixt on an everlasting rock, 
 
 God's holy city stands : 
 There streams of living water flow. 
 And God protects all those who know, 
 
 And honor his commands. 
 
 Submit to his almighty sway ; 
 His power the heathen shall obey. 
 
 And earth her Lord confess : 
 The God of hosts will keep from harm. 
 Will be our refuge in alarm. 
 
 Our helper in distress.

 With trumpets' loudest voice ; 
 
 He sits enthron'd above the sky ; 
 In God the Lord rejoice. 
 
 He reigns with holiness and power 
 
 On his eternal throne ; 
 Then let the lands his grace adore. 
 
 And him their Saviour o^vn.

 WARWICK. c. M. 
 
 THE Lord, the mighty God, is great, 
 
 And greatly to be prais'd : 
 On Sion's hill, his chosen seat. 
 
 His royal throne is rais'd. 
 
 Joy of the earth mount Sion stands ; 
 
 God is her sure defence ; 
 How vain the threats of hostile bands 
 
 Against Omnipotence ! 
 
 Glory and strength her walls surround, 
 
 The bulwarks of the just : 
 But not in these our help is found. 
 
 In God alone we trust. 
 
 For all thy mercies seen and known, 
 
 Our hearts thy name adore ; 
 And thee, our God and strength we own, 
 
 Our guide for evermore. 
 
PSALM XLIX. 
 
 The Vanity of earthly Distinction. 
 
 WAREHAM. L. M. 
 
 LET all, of ev'ry rank and ag-e, 
 Around in list'ning- numbers throng- : 
 For wisdom shall my thoughts engage, 
 And heav'nly truth inspire my tongue. 
 How vain the power that wealth can give ; 
 Alas, how impotent to save ! 
 Can riches bid the sinner live. 
 Or keep a brother from the grave ? 
 Array'd in rank, with honor crown'd, 
 Man cannot long on earth abide ; 
 For soon his place shall not be found. 
 Forgotten shall be all his pride. 
 But when the just the earth shall leave, 
 (For, like the wicked, they must die ;) 
 God will their ransom'd souls receive. 
 To reign with him eternally. 
 
 PSALM L. 
 
 The Solemnity of God's Judgment. 
 
 ASTON. p. M. 
 
 THE Lord hath spoke ; the mighty God 
 Hath sent his summons all abroad. 
 
 From dawning light till day declines : 
 The list'ning earth his voice hath heard ; 
 And he from Sion hath appear'd. 
 
 Where beauty in perfection shines. 
 
 Our God shall come, and keep no more 
 Misconstru'd silence, as before ; 
 
 But wasting flames before him send : 
 And while around him tempests rage. 
 Himself shall heaven and earth engage, 
 
 His just tribunal to attend. 
 
 No sacrifice hath he requir'd. 
 
 Save hearts with love and zeal inspired. 
 
 And holy deeds to make them known. 
 Who praises God, due honor gives. 
 And to the man that justly lives 
 
 His great salvation will be shewn.

 ST. bride's, s. m. 
 
 HAVE mercj, Lord, on me, 
 As thou wert ever kind ; 
 O let me, thoug-h opprest with guilt, 
 Thy wonted mercy find. 
 
 Wash off my foul offence, 
 And cleanse me from my sin ; 
 For I confess my crime, and feel 
 How great my guilt has been. 
 
 Could sacrifice atone, 
 WTiole flocks and herds might die ; 
 But on such off'rings thou disdain'st 
 To cast a gracious eye. 
 
 A wounded spirit is 
 By thee most highly priz'd : 
 By thee a broken contrite heart 
 Shall never be despis'd. 
 
 PSALM LH.

 IRISH. C. M. 
 
 WHY should the wicked boast the power 
 
 To work another's wo ; 
 When God's compassions ev'ry hour 
 
 In streams of goodness flow ? 
 
 God will a swift destruction send, 
 And pluck them from their place ; 
 
 The righteous shall behold their end. 
 And scorn the guilty race. 
 
 But like an olive, fresh and green, 
 
 I, in thy court shall stand ; 
 Because, O God, my trust hath been 
 
 On thy protecting hand. 
 
 Thine acts of mercy to proclaim 
 
 I'll raise my grateful voice ; 
 And hope for ever in thy name. 
 
 In which thy saints rejoice.

 All, all, alas ! have gone astray : 
 The paths of peace they have not known ; 
 And none is righteous, no, not one. 
 
 Guilty, deprav'd, condemn'd, and lost, 
 Who before God hath aught to boast ? 
 Arise, O Sion's King, arise. 
 And bring salvation from the skies. 
 
 Then shall thy saints exulting sing, 
 And each glad heart its tribute bring : 
 Pardon and peace shall then be given. 
 And earth resound with songs of heaven.

 Oppressors, whom I never wrong'd, 
 
 My guiltless soul pursue : 
 But thou wilt surely help me. Lord, 
 
 And all my foes subdue. 
 
 Then will I glorify thy name. 
 
 And worship thee with joy ; 
 And in thy service, and thy praise.

 In mercy listen to my prayer, 
 
 For sorely griev'd am I. 
 
 O had I wings, I'd flee away, 
 
 Some place of rest to find ; 
 There, in a safe retreat, I'd stay, 
 
 And leave my foes behind. 
 
 O Lord my God, to thee I cry. 
 
 To thy protection flee ; 
 Thine ear will hear me speedily.

 For threat'ning foes appal ; 
 They strive against me day by day, 
 
 And fain would work my fall. 
 
 But Lord, on thee, the pure, the true, 
 
 I fix my stedfast trust ; 
 Nor will I fear what man can do, — 
 
 The offspring of the dust. 
 
 Thy pitying eye hath seen my tears. 
 And noted all my woes ; 
 
 1 know that thou wilt hear my prayers. 
 
 And save me from my foes.

 And in harmonious hymns rejoice : 
 With morning-'s earliest dawn awake.

 By fraud or malice sway'd ; 
 Nor ever be your hands by bribes 
 
 To violence betray'd. 
 
 Wlien God shall judge, the just will see 
 All crimes due vengeance meet ;

 Each partial judge arraign.

 LEACH. p. M. 
 
 MY soul waits patiently on God, 
 He only is my sure abode. 
 
 My refuge, and my friend : 
 Trusting in him I shall not f^ill ; 
 For when did he despise their call, 
 
 W^ho on his grace depend ? 
 
 O all ye people, seek his face ; 
 
 On him your whole dependence place. 
 
 In comfort, or in wo : 
 Pour out your hearts before the Lord; 
 He will a sure relief afford. 
 
 And save from ev'ry foe. 
 
 Cease ye in mortal man to trust, — 
 The feeble offspring of the dust, — 
 
 Whose highest state is vain : 
 Look up to God, who reigns on high ; 
 For they who on his love rely, 
 
 Shall endless life obtain.

 O GOD, my gracious God, to thee 
 Mj morning prayers shall offer'd be ; 
 For thee my thirsty soul doth pant : 
 My fainting flesh implores thy grace 
 Within this dry and barren place. 
 Where I refreshing waters want. 
 
 O, may my longing heart once more 
 That glory and that power adore. 
 
 Which thy majestic house displays : 
 Because to me thy wondrous love 
 Than life itself doth dearer prove. 
 
 My lips shall always speak thy praise. 
 
 When I lie down, sweet sleep to find. 
 Thou, Lord, art present to my mind ; 
 
 And when I wake in dead of night. 
 Because thou still dost succour bring. 
 Beneath the shadow of thy wing 
 
 I rest in safety and delight.

 O LORD, unto my voice attend. 
 While at thy throne in prayer I bend ;

 From ev'ry foe, from ev'ry fear. 
 
 Protect me from the secret snare, 
 When sin and death their arts prepare ; 
 From powers of earth and hell combin'd, 
 Let me in thee a refuge find. 
 
 When thou shalt bend thy dreadful bow. 
 And dart thy wrath on ev'ry foe. 
 The trembling world shall own thy rod. 
 And speak thy wondrous works, O God. 
 
 But glory shall adorn the just, 
 While in Jehovah's name they trust ; 
 And cheerful songs their joy proclaim, 
 Who love his word, and fear his name.

 Dost ever bend a fav'ring* ear ; 
 To thee shall all mankind repair ;

 Our sins, though numberless, in vain 
 To stop thy flowing mercy try ; 
 For grace shall cleanse the guilty stain, 
 And wash away the crimson dye.

 Within thy sacred dwelling lives ! 
 Who there salvation longs to see. 
 And taste the joy thy presence gives.

 THY gifts, O God, the circling year 
 With fresh returns of plenty crown ; 
 Thy blessings all around appear ; 
 The swelling clouds drop fatness down. 
 
 While from exhaustless stores the rain 
 Descending fills the thirsty ground ; 
 The barren lands rejoice again. 
 With richest fruits and herbagre crown'd. 
 
 Thy bounteous hand the blessing pours ; 
 The valleys and the fruitful fields 
 Thou makest soft with gentle showers ; 
 And nature all her fulness yields. 
 
 Large flocks and herds the plains adorn ; 
 The hills their joyful tribute bring ; 
 The valleys wave with golden corn. 
 And seem their Maker's praise to sing.

 Support my sinking" frame ; 
 Redeem my soul, my fetters break,

 When others leave me, thou art near, 
 
 My drooping soul to raise ; 
 And thou wilt change my grief and fear 
 
 To songs of thankful praise.

 Behold the violence, the scorn. 
 And all the wrongs thy people bear : 
 Opprest, insulted, and forlorn. 
 Shall they no more thy favor share ? 
 
 Oh, let their sins be wash'd away. 
 For thy compassion, Lord, is great ; 
 For thy name's sake forbear to slay, 
 And lift them from their low estate.

 Restore them, and remove thy rod ; 
 That all the earth thy hand may see. 
 And, wond'ring, own thee for their God.

 And to destroy thy chosen flock 
 
 In guilty league combine. 
 
 Like stubble scatter'd by the storm. 
 
 Like wood amidst the flame. 
 Shall they be with thy judgments vex'd,

 Repose and safety he shall find 
 
 In seasons of distress ; 
 While God prepares a pit for those 
 
 Who stubbornly transgress. 
 
 Thou, Lord, wilt never from t?iy saints 
 
 Thy sure protection take ; 
 Thine own possession and thy lot

 Thus shall the world confess thee just, 
 
 And true in ev'ry deed ;

 To him address, in joyful songs. 
 The praise that to his name belongs. 
 
 For God the Lord, enthroned in state. 
 Is with unrivall'd glory great : 
 The strength of earth is in his hand. 
 He made the sea, and fixt the land. 
 
 O let us to his courts repair, 
 And bow with adoration there ; 
 On bended knees devoutly fall. 
 And on the Lord our maker call.

 Approach with joy his courts unto ; 
 Praise, laud, and bless his name always, 
 For it is seemly so to do.

 Thence to his courts devoutly press ; 
 And still your grateful hymns repeat. 
 And still his name with praises bless.

 His truth, which always firmly stood, 
 To endless ages shall endure.

 With wondrous skill was made. 
 
 Yet soon this universal frame, 
 
 Form'd by thy pow'rful hand. 
 Shall, like a vesture laid aside.

 God's holy name for ever bless ; 
 Of all his favors mindful prove. 
 And still thy grateful thanks express. 
 
 The Lord abounds with tender love. 
 And unexampled acts of grace ; 
 His waken'd wrath doth slowly move ; 
 His willing mercy flows apace. 
 
 As high as heaven its arch extends 
 Above this little spot of clay. 
 So far his boundless love transcends 
 The poor returns that we can pay. 
 
 As far as 'tis from east to west. 
 So far doth he our sins remove ; 
 Who, with a father's tender breast. 
 Regards the children of his love.

 O Lord, our great God, how dost thou appear ! 
 So passing* in glory, that great is thy fame ; 
 Honor and majesty in thee shine most clear. 
 
 With light as a robe thyself thou hast clad, 
 Whereby all the earth thy greatness may see : 
 The heavens in such sort thou also hast spread, 
 That they to a curtain compared may be. 
 
 His chamber-beams lie in the clouds full sure, 
 Which, as his chariots, are made him to bear : 
 And there with much swiftness his course doth endure, 
 Upon the wings riding of winds in the air. 
 
 His spirits he makes as heralds to go. 
 And lightnings to serve we see also prest : 
 His will to accomplish they run to and fro. 
 To save or consume us, as seemeth him best.

 The sky we behold, a curtain display'd ; 
 The chambers of heaven on waters are laid; 
 The clouds are a chariot, thy glory to bear. 
 On winds thou art wafted, thou ridest on air. 
 
 As rapid as fire, thine angels on high 
 Convey thy commands ; thy ministers fly ; 
 The earth, on its basis eternal sustain'd. 
 Is fixt in the station thy wisdom ordain'd. 
 
 O Lord, I woidd sing, thy glory to raise ; 
 Delightful the strain, when tun'd to thy praise : 
 The vile have their suff 'rings, the just their reward ; 
 Bless God, O my spirit, my soul praise the Lord.

 Who can his mighty deeds express, 
 Not only vast, but numberless ! 
 What mortal eloquence can raise 
 His tribute of immortal praise ! 
 
 Happy are they, and only they. 
 Who from his precepts fear to stray : 
 Who know what's right, — nor only so.

 When thou return'st to set them free,

 Through burning climes they pass unhurt, 
 
 And live in tainted air. 
 
 In midst of dangers, fears, and death, 
 
 Thy goodness we'll adore ; 
 We'll praise thee for thy mercies past,

 And far beyond the starry spheres 
 
 Thy faithfulness extends. 
 
 Be thou, O God, exalted high 
 
 O'er this created frame ; 
 And let the world, with one consent. 
 
 Confess thy glorious name ; 
 That so thy chosen people thee 
 
 Their Saviour may declare ;

 WHEN man for guilty gain betrays 
 
 His brother or his friend ; 
 How awful is the traitor's doom, 
 
 How terrible his end !

 O, while we shudder at his fate, 
 
 May we the sin detest ! 
 
 Lord, we would give thee all our heart ; 
 
 Thine would we ever be ; 
 Nor let a single sin have power 
 
 To make us false to thee.

 The willing nations shall obey. 
 
 Thy rising beams rejoice to view : 
 And, sav'd by thee from error's night. 
 Shall shine as numberless and bright. 
 
 As crystal drops of morning dew." 
 
 The Lord hath sworn, nor sworn in vain. 
 That, like Melchizedec's, his reign 
 
 And priesthood shall no period know :

 Through the whole earth his kingdom spread. 
 
 And lay each haughty rebel low.

 His wondrous works, with ease are found 
 By those who seek for them aright, 
 And in the pious search delight. 
 
 His works are all of matchless fame. 
 And universal glory claim : 
 His truth, confirm'd through ages past,

 For ever to remain the same ; —

 Shines brightest in affliction's night : 
 He trusts in God, and will not fear. 
 Though evil tidings he may hear. 
 
 His stedfast piety shall claim 
 A lasting favor for his name : 
 The sweet remembrance of the just 
 Shall flourish, when he sleeps in dust.

 Due praise to his great name address. 
 
 God through the world extends his sway ; 
 The regions of eternal day 
 
 But shadows of his glory are : 
 With him, whose majesty excels. 
 Who made the heaven in which he dwells, 
 
 Let no created power compare. 
 Though 'tis beneath his state to view 
 In highest heaven what angels do. 
 
 Yet he to earth vouchsafes his care : 
 He takes the needy from his cell. 
 Advancing him in courts to dwell. 
 
 Companion to the greatest there.

 MONTGOMERY. L. M. 
 
 WHEN Israel forth from Egypt went, 
 And Jacob left the stranger's land, 
 God's glory shadow'd Jndah's tent, 
 And Israel own'd her Monarch's hand. 
 
 The sea beheld his power, and fled ; 
 Back to her source was Jordan driven ; 
 The trembling mountains shook for dread ; 
 From their strong base the hills were riven. 
 
 O sea ! what terrors urg'd thy flight ; — 
 Why, Jordan, did thy flood retreat ; — 
 Why mov'd the hills; — and whence the fright 
 That shook the mountains from their seat ? 
 
 Tremble, O earth, when God appears, — 
 Before the might of Jacob's God ; 
 Whose power the flinty rock declares. 
 And, melting, pours the gushing flood.

 For all thy benefits to me. 
 
 So great and numberless ?

 Succeeding times shall see. 
 
 Thy righteousness shall yet endure. 
 
 When time itself is past ; 
 Thy law is perfect truth, — that truth. 
 
 Which shall for ever last. 
 
 Eternal and unerring rules 
 
 Thy testimonies give ; 
 Teach me the wisdom, that will make 
 
 My soul for ever live. 
 
PSALM CXX. 
 
 For Deliverance from Treachery and Violence, 
 
 BURFORD. C. M. 
 
 IN deep distress to God I cried, 
 And he aveng-'d my wrongs : 
 
 O Lord, my soul in safety hide 
 
 From false and sland'rous tongues. 
 
 Ah ! wo is me ; const rain'd to dwell 
 
 Among the sons of strife : 
 When will thy word their tumults quell. 
 
 And quiet bless my life ! 
 
 Fain would I bid contention cease. 
 
 And live from tumult far ; 
 But when I speak to them of peace. 
 
 They gird themselves for war. 
 
 PSALM CXXL 
 
 God the Guardian of his Saints. 
 
 IRISH. C. M. 
 
 FROM Sion's hill my help descends ; 
 
 To God I lift mine eyes ; 
 My strength on him alone depends. 
 
 Who form'd the earth and skies. 
 
 He, ever watchful, ever nigh. 
 
 Forbids my foot to slide ; 
 Nor sleep, nor slumber, seals the eye 
 
 Of Israel's guard and guide. 
 
 He, on my side, array'd in might. 
 His shield shall o'er me spread ; 
 
 Nor sun by day, nor moon by night. 
 Shall hurt my favor'd head. 
 
 Safe shall I go, and safe return. 
 
 While he my life defends. 
 Whose eyes my ev'ry step discern. 
 
 Whose mercy never ends. 
 
PSALM CXXII. 
 
 Love to the House of God, 
 
 WILMINGTON. P. M. 
 
 THE festal morn, O God, is come, 
 That calls us to thy hallow'd dome, 
 
 Thy presence to adore : 
 With joy the summons we attend, 
 With willing- steps thy courts ascend, 
 
 And tread the sacred floor. 
 
 Be peace by each implor'd on thee, 
 O Salem, while with bended knee 
 
 To Jacob's God we pray : 
 How blest, who calls himself thy friend ! 
 Success his labor shall attend. 
 
 And safety guard his way. 
 
 To thee, from earth's remotest end. 
 Let the redeem'd of God ascend. 
 
 To thee their tribute bring : 
 There, crown'd with everlasting joy. 
 In hymns of praise their tongues employ. 
 
 And hail th' Immortal King. 
 
 PSALM CXXIII. 
 
 For Pardon and Protection. 
 
 ST. AUSTIN. P.M. 
 
 LORD, before thy throne we bend ; 
 Lord, to thee our hopes ascend ; 
 Servants, to our master true. 
 Lord, we yield thee homage due : 
 Children, to our God we fly, 
 Gracious Father, hear our cry. 
 
 From the heavens, thy dwelling place, 
 Hear, and grant thy pard'ning grace y 
 In temptation's dang'rous hour. 
 Leave us not beneath its power : 
 God, our Saviour, still be nigh. 
 Lord of life and victory ! 
 
PSALM CXXIV. 
 
 Gratitude for national Deliverance. 
 
 WAREHAM. L.M. 
 
 HAD not the Lord, may Israel say, 
 Had not the Lord his aid supplied. 
 When those who sought us for a prey, 
 Kose like the ocean's swelling- tide ; — 
 
 The ang-ry waters that assaiFd, 
 Had fiercely rag'd beyond control : 
 Their rising billows had prevail'd ; 
 The floods had overwhelm'd our souL 
 
 But prais'd for ever be the Lord, 
 Who made our souls his gracious care 
 He did his timely help afford. 
 And broke the wily fowler's snare. 
 
 Our help is in Jehovah's name, 
 Who form'd the earth, and built the sky ; 
 He, that upholds their wondrous frame. 
 His people guards with watchful eye. 
 
 PSALM CXXV. 
 
 The Safety of those who trust in God. 
 ST. Ann's, c. m. 
 
 WHO make the Lord of hosts their tower. 
 
 Shall like Mount Sion be. 
 Immoveable by mortal power. 
 
 And fixt eternally. 
 
 As round about Jerusalem 
 
 The guardian mountains stand ; 
 
 So shall the Lord encompass them 
 Who hold by his right hand. 
 
 Do good, O Lord, do good to those 
 
 Who cleave to thee in heart ; 
 Who on thy truth alone repose. 
 
 Nor from thy law depart. 
 
 While rebel-souls, who turn aside. 
 
 Thine anger shall destroy ; 
 Do thou in peace thy people guide 
 
 To everlasting joy. 
 
PSALM CXXVI. 
 
 Comfort and Deliverance in God. 
 
 angels' SONG. L. M. 
 
 WHEN God from sin's captivity 
 Sets his afflicted people free ; 
 Lost in amaze, their mercies seem 
 The transient raptures of a dream. 
 
 But soon their ransom'd soids rejoice. 
 And mirth and music swell their voice. 
 Till foes confess, — nor dare condemn, — 
 "The Lord hath done g-reat things for them." 
 
 Turn our captivity, O Lord, 
 As southern rivers, at thy word 
 O'erflow their banks, and thus restore 
 Plenty, where all was waste before. 
 
 Who sow in tears shall reap in joy ; 
 Nought shall the precious seed destroy ; 
 Nor long* the weeping exiles roam. 
 But bring their sheaves rejoicing home. 
 
 PSALM CXXVIL 
 
 Success from God only. 
 
 BRADING. L. M. 
 
 EXCEPT the Lord our labours bless. 
 In vain shall we desire success ; 
 Except his power the gates maintain. 
 The watchman waketh but in vain. 
 
 'Tis useless toil our stores to keep. 
 Early to rise, and late to sleep, 
 Unless thy presence. Lord, be nigh, 
 And providential care supply. 
 
 Teach us in all our cares to flee 
 For guidance and for help to thee : 
 Thy blessing ask, whate'er we do. 
 And in thy strength our work pursue. 
 
 So we, thy sons, by mercy led, 
 Through life's dark path shall safely tread ; 
 And, in thy blessing, never cease 
 To find prosperity and peace. 
 
PSALM CXXVIII. 
 
 The Good Man blest in his Family, 
 
 WILTSHIRE. C. M. 
 
 HOW blest the man, whose heart is fill'd 
 
 With holy zeal and awe; 
 Whose lips to God their tribute yield ; 
 
 Whose life adorns his law ! 
 
 The Lord in mercy near him stands, 
 
 To guard his favor'd head ; 
 And on the labor of his hands 
 
 Unceasing blessings shed. 
 
 He, by the God of Jacob blest, 
 Through length of days, shall see 
 
 His children's children, Sion's rest, 
 And her prosperity. 
 
 Yea, richer mercies far than these 
 On him the Lord shall pour ; 
 
 Shall crown his soul with joy and peace, 
 And life for evermore. 
 
 PSALM CXXIX. 
 
 The Folly of the Enemies of Sion, 
 
 BATH. C. M. 
 
 OFT from my youth, may Israel say, 
 
 Have I been sore assail'd ; 
 Oft have the wicked vex'd my soul. 
 
 But never yet prevailed. 
 
 The ploughers plough'd upon my back, 
 And made long furrows there ; 
 
 But, strong to save, the righteous Lord 
 Hath broke the deadly snare. 
 
 Confusion and defeat repay 
 
 The hate of Sion's foes ; 
 Like grass that on the housetop springs, 
 
 But withers as it grows ; — 
 
 So shall their evil purpose end 
 
 In fruitless toil and shame ; 
 Nor any wish their hopes success. 
 
 Nor bless them in God's name. 
 
PSALM CXXX. 
 
 Assurance in God's Mercy. 
 
 MARGATE LENT. S. M. 
 
 FROM lowest depths of wo 
 To God I rais'd my cry ; 
 Lord, hear my supplicating voice. 
 And graciously reply. 
 
 Should'st thou severely judge. 
 Who can the trial bear ? 
 But thou forgiv'st, lest we despond, 
 And quite renounce thy fear. 
 
 My soul with patience waits 
 For thee, the living Lord ; 
 My hopes are on thy promise built, — 
 Thy never-failing word. 
 
 Let sinners seek the Lord ; 
 No bounds his mercy knows j 
 The plenteous source and spring, from whence 
 Eternal succour flows. 
 
 PSALM CXXXI. 
 
 Humility. 
 
 GERMAN HYMN. P. M. 
 
 LORD, for ever at thy side 
 May my place and portion be : 
 Strip me of the robe of pride ; 
 Clothe me with humility. 
 
 Meekly as an infant child 
 Weaned from the mother's breast ; 
 By no subtlety beguil'd. 
 On thy faithfulness I rest. 
 
 Saints, rejoicing evermore. 
 In the Lord Jehovah trust ; 
 Him in all his ways adore. 
 Wise, and wonderful, and just. 
 
PSALM CXXXII. 
 
 For God's Blessing in the Sanctuary. 
 
 WESTON FLAVEL. C. M. 
 
 WITH holy reverence and joy 
 
 We to God's house repair : 
 Before his footstool meekly bow. 
 
 And pour the humble prayer. 
 
 Arise, O Lord, and enter now 
 
 Thy constant place of rest ; 
 Not only with thy name be this, 
 
 But with thy presence blest. 
 
 Clothe thou thy priests with righteousness. 
 
 Make thou thy saints rejoice, 
 And for thy boundless mercy's sake. 
 
 Regard thy suppliants' voice. 
 
 For Sion, God's most holy seat. 
 
 In glory doth excel : 
 This is the favor'd place of rest. 
 
 Where he delights to dwell. 
 
 PSALM CXXXIIL 
 
 Brotherly Love, 
 
 SURREY. P. M. 
 
 O BLEST estate ! blest from above ! 
 When brethren join in mutual love : 
 'Tis like the precious odours shed 
 On Aaron's consecrated head ; 
 Descending from his beard and breast 
 In holy fragrance o'er his vest. 
 
 *Tis like the pearls of dew that drop 
 On Hermon's ever-verdant top ; 
 Or such as heav'nly clouds distil 
 O'er happy S ion's sacred hill : 
 For God hath there his favor given. 
 And there his favor makes a heaven. 
 
PSALM CXXXIV. 
 
 Praise to God in his Sanctuary. 
 
 HENSBURY. C, M. 
 
 O BLESS the Lord, all ye who stand 
 
 Before his awful throne ; 
 Acknowledge his almighty hand, 
 
 For he is God alone. 
 
 To him, ye servants of the Lord, 
 
 Your hands and voices raise ; 
 Worthy by all to be ador'd, 
 
 With everlasting" praise. 
 
 Thou, Lord of heaven and earth, send down 
 
 A blessing- from above : 
 With grace and truth thy servants crown, 
 
 And seal them with thy love.

 O PRAISE the Lord with one consent,

 His glorious praise proclaim. 
 
 Praise him all ye, that in his house 
 
 Attend with constant care ;

 And magnify his name.

 ST. PETER. P. M. 
 
 LET us all with thankful mind, 
 Praise the Lord, for he is kind ; 
 Let us sound his name abroad, 
 For of g-ods he is the God : 
 
 And his mercies shall endure, 
 
 Ever faithful, ever sure. 
 He his mansion rears on high, 
 Far from gaze of mortal eye ; 
 Lie hj wisdom did create 
 Earth, with heaven's glorious state : And, &c. 
 All things living he doth feed, 
 And in love supplies their need ; 
 Watches with a pitying eye. 
 Saves in all their misery : For his, &c. 
 
 Humble saints he'll ever bless, 
 
 In this lonely wilderness ; 
 
 Therefore to Jehovah raise 
 
 Songs of never-ceasing praise : For his, &c. 
 
 PSALM CXXXVII. 
 
 Devoted. Love to the Church in her Affliction. 
 
 LEBBEUS. D. L. M. 
 
 WHEN Israel sat by Babel's stream, 
 Their harps were on the willows hung ; 
 Of Sion was their mournful dream. 
 Sad were their tears, their harps unstrung : 
 With taunting scorn their haughty foes 
 Taught them what fate to slaves belongs ; 
 Proud in their power, they mock'd their woes, 
 And ask'd for Sion's sacred songs. 
 
 For Sion's songs ? ah thought abhorr'd ! 
 How, Salem, could they sing of thee ; 
 Or tell the praises of the Lord, 
 While in their sad captivity ? 
 O Sion ! to remember thee 
 Shall ever be thy sons' employ ; 
 Thy woes their heaviest grief shall be, 
 Thy happiness, their highest joy. 
 
PSALM CXXXVIII. 
 
 Grateful Devotion. 
 
 BROOMSGROVE. C. M. 
 
 WITH my whole heart, my God and King-, 
 
 Thy praise I will proclaim ; 
 Before the world with joy I'll sing". 
 
 And bless thy holy name. 
 
 I'll worship at thy sacred seat. 
 
 And, with thy love inspir'd, 
 The praises of thy truth repeat, 
 
 O'er all thy works admir'd. 
 
 Thou graciously inclin'dst thine ear. 
 
 When I to thee did cry ; 
 And, when my soul was prest with fear, 
 
 Didst inward strength supply. 
 
 The Lord, whose mercies ever last. 
 
 Shall keep me free from ill ; 
 And, mindful of his favors past. 
 
 Shall his own work fulfil. 
 
 PSALM CXXXIX. 
 
 The Omniscience of God. 
 
 ROCKINGHAM. L. M. 
 
 THOU, Lord, by strictest search hast known 
 My rising* up, and lying down : 
 Each secret thought is known to thee, 
 Known, long before conceiv'd by me. 
 
 Surrounded by thy power I stand ; 
 On ev'ry side I feel thy hand : 
 O skill, for human reach too high ! 
 Too dazzling bright for mortal eye ! 
 
 Could I so vain, so foolish be. 
 To think of e'er escaping thee ! 
 Where, Lord, could l thy influence shun ? 
 Or whither from thy presence run ? 
 
 Then search, O Lord, my thoughts and heart, 
 
 If evil lurks in any part ; 
 
 Correct it, lest I go astray. 
 
 And guide me in thy perfect way. 
 
PSALM CXL. 
 
 God a sure Defence. 
 
 WILMINGTON. P. M. 
 
 MY God, when dangers press me round, 
 And safety but in thee is found, 
 
 O leave me not alone : 
 Preserve my soul from ev'ry snare. 
 Grant me thine aid, and let my prayer 
 
 Reach thine eternal throne. 
 
 Thou art my God, my strength, my stay, 
 Who, in temptation's evil day 
 
 Hast shielded me from harm : 
 jSow to the malice of my foes, 
 Lord, the resistless force oppose 
 
 Of thine almighty arm. 
 
 I know that God his church will keep, 
 Will bid the mourner cease to weep ; 
 
 And plead the poor man's cause : 
 When wrath the wicked shall destroy, 
 They shall abide in peace and joy 
 
 A\lio love thy righteous laws. 
 
 PSALM CXLL 
 
 For Purity of Thought and Heart, 
 
 FRAMLINGHAM. 
 
 LORD, accept my early vows, 
 Like fresh incense in thy house ; 
 Let my nightly worship rise. 
 Sweet as evening sacrifice. 
 W^atch my lips, and guard them. Lord, 
 Check the rash and heedless word ; 
 Turn my feet, whene'er I stray, 
 Lead me in the perfect way. 
 
 Search and try my ev'ry thought. 
 Though my heart accuse me not : 
 W'alking in a false disguise. 
 Who can meet thy searching eyes ? 
 Teach me, Lord, thy holy will, 
 Lead me to thy heav'nly hill ; 
 Let the Spirit of thy love, 
 Guide me to thy courts above. 
 
PSALM CXLII. 
 
 God the Helf of the Distrest. 
 
 MARGATE LENT. S. M. 
 
 IN deep distress, to God 
 I pour'd my care and grief; 
 To him I rais'd my mournful cry, 
 And sought from him relief. 
 
 I look'd, but found no friend 
 To aid me in distress ; 
 All refuge fail'd, and none vouchsafd 
 To pity or redress. 
 
 To God, at length, I cried ; 
 '' Thou, Lord, my refuge art ; 
 My portion in the land of life. 
 Till life itself depart. 
 
 Redeem my helpless soul. 
 That I may praise thy name ; 
 So shall assembled saints with me 
 Thy power and grace proclaim." 
 
 PSALM CXLIIL 
 
 For Support and Guidance. 
 ST. Mary's, c. m. 
 LORD, hear my prayer, and to my cry 
 
 Thy wonted favor lend ; 
 In thine accustom'd truth and love 
 A gracious answer send. 
 
 Bring not to thy tribunal, Lord, 
 
 Thy servant to be tried ; 
 For no man living, in thy sight 
 
 Can e'er be justified. 
 
 Now, for the sake of thy great name. 
 
 Revive my sinking heart : 
 And, for thy truth and mercy's sake. 
 
 Thy promised aid impart. 
 
 Thou art my God ; thy righteous law 
 
 Instruct me to obey : 
 And let thy Spirit guide me still, 
 
 And keep me in thy way. 
 
PSALM CXLIV. 
 
 Thanksgiving for Victory. 
 
 NEW SABBATH. L. M. 
 
 BLEST be the Lord, our strength and shield 
 Amid the dangers of the field ; 
 Whose power prepares us for the fight, 
 And arms us with resistless might. 
 
 Still, Lord, thy presence interpose. 
 And save us from our threat'ning foes : 
 Our efforts bless, our strength increase. 
 And crown the land with joy and peace. 
 
 Then shall the fold its thousands yield. 
 And oxen till the fruitful field ; 
 No more shall captives mourn their chain. 
 Nor want, nor wretchedness complain. 
 
 O, happy people ! favor'd state ! 
 On whom such ample blessings wait ; 
 Thrice blest, who on the Lord depend. 
 Their God, their guardian, and their friend.

 Thine endless praise proclaim ; 
 
 To thee my daily tribute bring, 
 And ever bless thy name. 
 
 For thou art great, supremely great, 
 
 And highly to be prais'd ; 
 Thy majesty, with boundless height, 
 
 Above our thought is rais'd. 
 
 Ages to ages shall proclaim 
 Thy deeds of truth and might ; 
 
 And men shall praise thy glorious name. 
 And in thy love delight. 
 
 Thine is an everlasting throne. 
 
 And thy dominion sure ; 
 The saints shall make thy glories known. 
 
 And let the earth adore. 
 
PSALM CXLV. (part ii.) 
 
 The Goodness of God. 
 
 WARWICK. c. M. 
 
 THE Lord is g^ood ; fresh acts of grace 
 
 His pity still supplies ; 
 His anger moves with slowest pace, 
 
 His willing mercy flies. 
 
 His love through earth extends its fame. 
 
 By all his works exprest ; 
 These shew his praise, while his great name 
 
 Is by his servants blest. 
 
 Whatever their various wants require. 
 
 With open hand he gives ; 
 And so fulfils the just desire 
 
 Of ev'ry thing that lives. 
 
 My time to come, in praises spent, 
 
 Shall still declare his fame : 
 Let all the earth, with one consent. 
 
 Exalt his glorious name. 
 
 PSALM CXLVL 
 
 Sure Trust in God only. 
 
 BELLE FIELD. C. M. 
 
 O PRAISE the Lord, and thou, my soul. 
 
 For ever bless his name ; 
 His wondrous love, while life shall last. 
 
 My constant praise shall claim. 
 
 On princes, — on the sons of men. 
 
 Let none for aid rely ; 
 They cannot help ; they turn to dust. 
 
 And all their counsels die. 
 
 But happy he, who Jacob's God 
 
 For his protector takes ; 
 Who still, with well-plac'd hope, the Lord 
 
 His constant refuge makes. 
 
 The Lord our God, on Sion thron'd, 
 
 Is our eternal king ; 
 From age to age his reign endures ; 
 
 Let all his praises sing.

 Thy God, O Sion, praise ! 
 Whose arm alone thy safety brings ; 
 
 The strength of all thy ways. 
 
 Thy children he hath blest in thee, 
 And given thy borders peace ; 
 
 His love hath crown'd thy fruitful fields 
 With harvest's glad increase. 
 
 To Jacob he hath fully taught 
 
 The doctrines of his word ; 
 And maketh known to Israel's seed 
 
 The statutes of the Lord. 
 
 He hath not thus to other lands 
 His pow'r and love made known ; 
 
 Then let us all with thankful songs 
 Adore his name alone.

 Praise him, princes of the earth ; 
 All of high or humble birth ;

 With heart and with tongue his praises express ; 
 Who always is ready his saints to reward. 
 And with his salvation the humble to bless. 
 
 With glory adorn'd, his people shall sing 
 To God, who their heads with safety doth shield ; 
 Such honor and triumph his favor shall bring : 
 O therefore, for ever, all praise to him yield.

 Harmonious let the concert rise ; 
 And to the solemn organ sing. 
 That swells your rapture to the skies :

 Praise the name of Jacob's Lord ; 
 Let his acts, and power supreme. 
 To your songs afford a theme. 
 
 Let the organ in his praise 
 Learn its loudest note to raise : 
 Let each voice with grateful sound 
 From the vaulted roof rebound. 
 
 All who vital breath enjoy. 
 In his praise that breath employ. 
 And with holy zeal proclaim 
 Glory to Jehovah's name.

 How shall we dare approach thy throne ; 
 When, humbly prostrate in the dust, 
 With trembling lips our guilt we own. 
 
 Thy sons in name, to thee baptiz'd, 
 And blest with thy paternal care ; 
 How have our souls thy love despis'd ; 
 How mock'd thee with the heartless prayer ! 
 
 But thou hast bid us turn and live. 
 And stay'd thy wrath with long delay ; 
 And wilt thou with the sinner strive, 
 Yet spurn the penitent away ?

 Renew our hearts, our sins forgive ; 
 So, cleans'd from ev'ry crimson stain, 
 Our grateful souls to thee shall live.

 High o'er the pomp of worldly state, 
 On chosen Sion's lofty seat, 
 
 Jehovah sets his throne : 
 Now shall the lands confess his power. 
 And all the earth his name adore, 
 
 And serve the Lord alone. 
 Before the terrors of his face, 
 Let mortal man his pride abase. 
 
 And ev'ry idol fall : 
 Prostrate be ev'ry haughty foe. 
 The pomp and power of earth lie low. 
 
 And God be all in all.

 To make the wounded whole ; 
 To preach glad tidings to the meek.

 God will save and glorify his People. (Isa. li. 9 — 1 1 .) 
 
 TRURO. L. M. 
 
 ARM of the Lord, awake, awake ! 
 Thine own immortal strength put on ; 
 With terror cloth'd, hell's kingdom shake, 
 And cast thy foes for ever down. 
 
 By death and hell pursued in vain, 
 To thee the ransom'd Seed shall come ; 
 With joy their heav'nly Sion gain, 
 And pass through death triumphant home. 
 
 The pain of life shall then be o'er ; 
 Its anguish, and distracting care ; 
 Then sorrow shall complain no more. 
 And sin shall never enter there. 
 
 Where pure, unfading joy is found, 
 
 The Lord's redeem'd their heads shall raise ; 
 
 With everlasting gladness crown'd. 
 
 And fiU'd with love, and lost in praise. 
 
 HYMN 38. 
 Praise to Christ our Redeemer. (Isa. liii. 10 — 12.) 
 
 MONTGOMERY. L. M. 
 
 NOW let us raise our cheerful strains. 
 And join the blissful choir above : 
 There our exalted Saviour reigns ; 
 And there they sing his wondrous love. 
 
 Wliile seraphs tune th' immortal song, 
 Oh may we feel the sacred flame ; 
 May ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue, 
 Adore the Saviour's glorious name. 
 
 Jesus, who died that we might live; 
 Died in the wretched sinner's place : 
 Oh what return can mortals give 
 For such immeasurable grace ! 
 What though for bounty so divine 
 We ne'er can equal honors raise, 
 Jesus, may all our hearts be thine. 
 And all our tongues proclaim thy praise ! 
 
SECOND SUNDAY AFTER THE EIMPIIANY. 
 HYMN 39. 
 
 Christ our Example of Humility. (Rom. xii. IG.) 
 ST. David's, c. m. 
 
 O THOU who in the form of God 
 
 Didst equal honor claim ; 
 Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, 
 
 Didst stoop to death and shame. 
 
 Before thj throne shall ev'ry knee 
 
 Bow down with one accord : 
 Before thy throne shall ev'ry tongue 
 
 Confess that thou art Lord. 
 
 Oh may that mind be form'd in us. 
 
 Which shone so bright in thee ! 
 An humble, meek, and lowly mind, 
 
 From pride and envy free. 
 
 May we to others stoop, and learn 
 
 To imitate thy love ; 
 So shall we bear thine image here, 
 
 And dwell with thee above. 
 
 HYMN 40. 
 
 Praise for the Blessings of Providence and Grace. (John ii. 11.) 
 
 HOSANNA. P. M. 
 
 LORD, on whose bounty we depend. 
 By whom alone all creatures live ; 
 The countless blessings thou dost send 
 With grateful hearts may we receive : 
 
 And while thy streams of mercy pour. 
 
 Thy gracious providence adore. 
 
 Blest be thy name for earthly good ! 
 Thrice blest for richer mercies, giv'n 
 So freely through the Saviour's blood ;— 
 Thy peace on earth, the hope of heaven : 
 Still on our lives with favor shine, 
 And all our hearts, O God, be thine. 
 
THIRD SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY. 
 HYMN 41.

 The glad and solemn sound 
 
 Let all the nations know, 
 
 To earth's remotest bound, — 
 The year of jubilee is come ; 
 Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 
 
 Exalt the Son of God ; 
 
 Adore his glorious name ; 
 
 Redemption by his blood 
 
 Through all the world proclaim. The year, &c. 
 
 Ye slaves of sin and hell, 
 
 Your liberty receive, 
 
 And safe in Jesus dwell. 
 
 And blest in Jesus live. The year, &c. 
 
 The gospel trumpet hear. 
 
 The news of pard'ning grace ; 
 
 Ye happy souls draw near, 
 
 Behold your Saviour's face. The year, &c. 
 
 HYMN 42. 
 
 Salvation obtained through Faith. (Matt. viii. 13.) 
 ST. George's, c. m. 
 
 AS when the hebrew prophet rais'd 
 
 The brazen serpent high. 
 The wounded look'd, and straight were heal'd, 
 
 The people ceas'd to die : 
 
 So from the Saviour on the cross 
 
 A healing virtue flows; 
 And all who raise the eye of faith 
 
 Are sav'd from endless woes. 
 
 Thus may we seek thy mercy-seat ; 
 
 O God, the blessing give ; 
 Help us in faith to look to thee ; 
 
 And bid the dying live. 
 
THIRD SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY. 
 
 HYMN 43. 
 
 Holiness the Evidence of Faith. (Isa. Ivi. 1, 2.) 
 ST. Stephen's, c. m. 
 
 DELUDED souls ! that dream of heaven, 
 
 And make their empty boast 
 Of inward joys, and sins forg-iven, 
 
 While they are slaves to lust. 
 
 Vain are our fancies, vain our flig-hts, 
 
 If faith be cold and dead ; 
 None but a living- power unites 
 
 To Christ our living- head. 
 
 God from the curse hath set us free, 
 
 To make us pure within ; 
 Nor did he send his Son to be 
 
 The minister of sin. 
 
 Lord, give thy grace to change our heart. 
 
 The faith that works by love, 
 That bids all sinful joys depart. 
 
 And lifts our souls above. 
 
 HYMN 44. 
 
 The christian Character meek and forgiving. (Rom. xii. 21.) 
 
 BRUNSWICK. L. M. 
 
 THE holy gospel we profess 
 Is truth and mercy, peace and love ; 
 Such, let our hearts and lives express ; 
 Such, let our conversation prove. 
 
 Whene'er the angry passions rise, 
 
 And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife. 
 
 To Jesus let us lift our eyes, 
 
 Bright pattern of the christian life ! 
 
 Dispensing good where'er he came, 
 The labor of his life was love : 
 If then we love the Saviour's name. 
 That love let our obedience prove. 
 
 But ah! how blind, how weak we are ; 
 How frail ! how apt to turn aside ! 
 Lord, we depend upon thy care. 
 And seek thy Spirit for our guide. 
 
FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY. 
 
 HYMN 45. 
 
 God's Majesty and Condescension. (Isa. Ivii. 15.) 
 
 ST. AUSTIN S. P. M. 
 
 MIGHTY God ! the Holy One 
 Dwelling in eternity ; 
 How shall we approach thy throne ; 
 How may sinners come to thee ! 
 
 Where thine awful g-lories blaze 
 
 Scarce can holy angels gaze. 
 Yet, though high thy dwelling place, 
 All our thoughts and praise above. 
 Humble souls may seek thy face, 
 God of glory, God of love : 
 
 Love, that comes, a heav'nly guest, 
 
 To the contrite sinner's breast. 
 Father ! hear us when we pray ; 
 Saving grace and strength impart; 
 Wash our inmost guilt away ; 
 Give the lowly, faithful heart : 
 
 Thou, our everlasting friend, 
 
 Guide, and bless us to the end. 
 
 HYMN 46. 
 The Hypocrite and Disobedient condemned. (Isa. Ivii. 12, 13.) 
 
 JUDGMENT. P. M. 
 
 JEHOVAH hath spoken ! the nations shall hear ; 
 From the east to the west shall his glory appear ; 
 With thunders and tempest to judgment he'll come ; 
 And all men before him shall wait for their doom. 
 Thou, formal professor ; thou, saint but in name ! 
 Where now wilt thou cover thy guilt and thy shame, 
 When thy sin long conceal'd shall be blazon'd abroad, 
 And thy conscience shall echo the sentence of God ! 
 Wo, — wo to the sinners! to what shall they trust 
 In the day of God's vengeance, the holy and just ! 
 How meet all the terrors that flame in his path, 
 Wlienthe mountains shall melt at the glance of his wrath? 
 O God ! ere the day of thy mercy be past. 
 With trembling our souls on that mercy we cast : 
 O guide us in wisdom ; for aid we implore ; 
 Till, sav'd with thy people, thy grace we adore. 
 
FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY. 
 
 HYMN 47. 
 
 Conscientious Obedience to Rulers. (Rom. xiii. 1.) 
 
 ABRIDGE. C. M. 
 
 SOVEREIGN of all ! whose will ordains 
 The Powers on earth that be ; 
 
 By whom our rig-htful monarch reigns, 
 Subject alone to thee : 
 
 Let us for conscience' sake revere 
 
 The guardian of our land ; 
 Honor and love thine image here, 
 
 And bless his mild command. 
 
 Let all with thankful heart receive 
 
 The benefit divine : 
 Thou only didst the blessing give ; 
 
 The glory. Lord, be thine. 
 
 Still let us pray, and never cease, — 
 
 " Defend him, Lord, defend : 
 'Stablish his throne in glorious peace. 
 
 And save him to the end." 
 
 HYMN 48. 
 
 Jll Nature obedient to God. (Matt. viii. 2G.) 
 
 WILTSHIRE. C. M. 
 
 MAKER of all things, mighty Lord, 
 
 We own thy power divine ; 
 The winds and waves obey thy word, 
 
 For all their strength is thine. 
 
 Wide as the wintry tempests sweep. 
 
 They work thy sov'reign will ; 
 Thy voice is heard upon the Deep, 
 
 And all its waves are still. 
 When dangers threat in ev'ry form. 
 
 And death itself is near ; 
 O God, amidst the raging storm. 
 
 We're safe beneath thy care. 
 With trembling hope on thee we stay 
 
 To rescue from the grave; 
 Thou, whom the elements obey. 
 
 Art ever near to save. 
 
FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY. 
 
 HYMN 49. 
 
 God's Justice and Mercy. (Isa. lix. 18 — 20.) 
 
 WELLS. L. M. 
 
 IN all the ways and works of God, 
 His justice and his love we trace ; 
 We bend to his avenging* rod ; 
 Or kiss the sceptre of his grace. 
 
 Around his saints, who fear his name, 
 In endless streams his mercies flow : 
 But all the fruit of sin is shame, 
 And present grief, and future wo. 
 
 Lord, at thy footstool we appear. 
 To own our guilt, and seek thy love ; 
 O let thy fav'ring mercy hear. 
 And send a blessing from above. 
 
 Impart thy truth ; our souls restore. 
 And keep us in thy righteous ways ; 
 So shall the church thy grace adore. 
 And gladly sound the Saviour's praise. 
 
 HYMN 50. 
 
 God the Defence of all who trust in him. (Collect.) 
 ST. Matthew's, d. cm. 
 O GOD, our help in ages past. 
 
 Our hope for years to come ; 
 Our shelter from the stormy blast. 
 
 And our eternal home. 
 Beneath the shadow of thy throne, 
 
 Thy saints have dwelt secure ; 
 Sufficient is thine arm alone. 
 
 And our defence is sure. 
 
 Before the hills in order stood, 
 
 Or earth receiv'd her frame. 
 From everlasting thou art God, 
 
 To endless years the same. 
 O God, our help in ages past, 
 
 Our hope for years to come ; 
 Be thou our guard while life shall last. 
 
 And our eternal home.

 With love to man will glow. 
 
 Our heavenly Father, Lord, art thou ; 
 
 Thy favor'd children we ; 
 O may we love each other here, 
 
 As we are lov'd of thee. 
 
 Heirs of the same immortal bliss, 
 Our hopes and fears the same. 
 
 May cords of love our hearts unite. 
 And mutual love inflame.

 Our peaceful lives approve ; 
 And wond'ring say, as they of old, 
 
 '* See how these Christians love V*

 The Tares spared till the Harvest. (Matt. xiii. 30.) 
 ST. Stephen's, c. m. 
 THE angel comes ; he comes to reap 
 
 The harvest of the Lord ; 
 O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep. 
 Wide waves his flaming sword. 
 
 And who are they, their doom to bide, 
 
 Thus gather'd up and bound ? 
 The tares, whose rank luxuriant pride 
 
 Chok'd the fair crop around. 
 
 And who are they, reserv'd in store 
 
 God's treasure-house to fill ? 
 The wheat, a hundred fold that bore 
 
 Amid surrounding ill. 
 
 O King of mercy ! grant us power 
 
 Thy fearful wrath to flee : 
 In thy destroying angel's hour, 
 
 O 2"ather us to thee !

 None without holiness shall see 
 
 The glories of thy face. 
 
 We come, O Lord, with humble fear 
 
 Before thy mercy gate ; 
 Though most unworthy to draw near, 
 
 Or in thy courts to wait. 
 
 For w^e are prone from thee to stray, 
 
 Our only strength and guide ; 
 O lead us in thy righteous w^ay. 
 
 Nor let our footsteps slide. 
 
 Make all thy service our delight, 
 
 And fix our hearts above ;

 GREAT God ! what do I see and hear ! 
 
 The end of things created ! 
 The Judg-e of mankind doth appear 
 
 On clouds of glory seated ! 
 The trumpet sounds, the graves restore 
 The dead, which they contain'd before : 
 
 Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 
 
 The dead in Christ shall first arise, 
 
 At the last trumpet's sounding ; 
 And meet their Saviour in the skies, 
 
 With joy his throne surrounding* : 
 No gloomy fears their souls dismay; 
 His presence sheds eternal day 
 
 On those prepar'd to meet him. 
 
 But sinners, fill'd with guilty fears. 
 
 Behold his wrath prevailing ; 
 For they shall rise, and find their tears. 
 
 And sighs, are unavailing : 
 The day of grace is past and gone; 
 Trembling they stand before the throne. 
 
 All unprepar'd to meet him. 
 
 Great God ! what do I see and hear ! &c. 
 
 Beneath his cross I view the day, 
 When heav'n and earth shall pass away ; 
 And thus prepare to meet him.

 When heaven and earth shall pass away ! 
 What power shall be the sinner's stay ! 
 How shall he meet that dreadful day ! 
 
 When, shriv'lling like a parched scroll, 
 The flaming heavens together roll ; 
 When louder yet, and yet more dread, 
 Swells the high trump that wakes the dead ; 
 
 Oh ! on that day — that awful day. 
 When man to judgment wakes from clay, 
 Be thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, 
 Though heaven and earth shall pass awav.

 Soon as the evening shades prevail, 
 The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 
 And nightly, to the list'ning earth. 
 Repeats the story of her birth : 
 While all the stars that round her burn. 
 And all the planets, in their turn. 
 Confirm the tidings as they roll. 
 And spread the truth from pole to pole. 
 
 What though in solemn silence all 
 Move round this dark terrestrial ball ; 
 What though no real voice, nor sound.

 In reason's ear they all rejoice. 
 And utter forth their glorious voice : 
 For ever singings as they shine, 
 " The hand that made us is divine."

 Whose hands are strong, whose hearts are clear ; 
 Why will ye waste the morning light ? 
 Alas ! why stand ye idle here ? 
 
 And ye, whose scanty locks of grey 
 Foretel your latest travail near ; 
 How swiftly fades your closing day ! 
 And stand ye yet so idle here ?

 To whom the sinner's soul is dear ; 
 Now call us to thy vineyard. Lord, 
 And grant us grace to please thee there!

 While they, who trust to nature's strength. 
 Will find it false ; and faint, and die.

 O LORD, turn not thy face away 
 
 From them that lowly lie, 
 Lamenting- sore their sinful life, 
 
 With tears and bitter cry. 
 
 Thy mercy-gates are open wide 
 To them that mourn their sin; 
 
 O shut them not against us. Lord, 
 But let us enter in. 
 
 O call us not to strict account. 
 How we have sojourn'd here ; 
 
 For then our guilty conscience knows 
 How vile we must appear. 
 
 We need not to confess our fault 
 To thee, who best can tell: 
 
 What we have been, and what we are. 
 Thou knowest, Lord, full well. 
 
 Mercy, O Lord, mercy we seek j 
 
 This is our only prayer ; 
 In mercy, Lord, is all our hope, 
 
 O let thy mercy spare !

 Thy pardon we implore ; 
 While, daily through this sacred Fast, 
 Our prayers, our tears, we pour.

 Our helplessness is known ; 
 Be then to those who seek thy face 
 Thy free forgiveness shewn. 
 
 How numberless our sins. 
 Lord, we confess with shame ; 
 Yet spare, and heal our broken hearts : 
 Spare, for thy glorious name.

 O THOU, whose tender mercy hears 
 
 Contrition's humble cry ; 
 Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears 
 
 From sorrow's weeping* eye : 
 
 See, low before thy throne of grace 
 We wretched wand'rers mourn ; 
 
 Thou, Lord, hast bid us seek thy face, 
 Thou, Lord, hast said, '' Return." 
 
 Our sins affright, ouj:* fears prevail ; 
 
 O Lord, thy help afford ; 
 Thy gracious promise cannot fail. 
 
 And we would trust thy word. 
 
 To melt each cold and stubborn heart 
 With heav'nly influence shine ; 
 
 And light, and life, and strength impart. 
 And make us wholly thine.

 And shun what we deplore.

 True penitence impart ; 
 And let a healing ray from thee 
 
 Beam hope on ev'ry heart. 
 
 When we disclose our wants in prayer. 
 
 May we our wills resign ; 
 And not a wish our bosoms share. 
 
 Which is not wholly thine. 
 
 In meek submission to thy will, 
 
 Let ev'ry prayer arise ; 
 And teach us. Lord, 'tis goodness still 
 
 That grants it, or denies.

 And bow before thj throne ; 
 For all our thoug-hts, and secret sins, 
 To thee, great God, are known. 
 
 How dreadful is the might 
 Of thine avenging hand ! 
 The fiery terrors of thy wrath 
 What mortal can withstand ! 
 
 As guilty Sodom fell 
 Beneath thy righteous doom, 
 So flames of everlasting death 
 Shall all thy foes consume.

 While yet we live to pray;

 What snares beset my way ; 
 To heaven, O Lord, I lift mine eyes ; 
 
 To thee for succour pray. 
 
 By thee I stand ; in thee I live ; 
 
 Do thou my weakness aid ; 
 Help me to watch, and pray, and strive.

 When strong temptations lure my heart. 
 
 And draw my steps aside ; 
 My God, thy pow'rful aid impart, —

 Tried Faith. (Gen. xxii. 13.) 
 
 BELLE FIELD. 
 
 THE saints should never be dismay 'd, 
 
 Nor sink in hopeless fear ; 
 For when they least expect his aid, 
 
 The Saviour w^ill appear. 
 
 This Abraham found : — he rais'd the knife, 
 God saw, and said, " Forbear : 
 
 I know thy faith ; touch not his life ; 
 Behold a victim there." 
 
 Blest proofs of power and g-race divine. 
 
 That meet us in his word ; 
 May ev'ry deep-felt care of mine 
 
 Be trusted with the Lord ! 
 
 Wait for his seasonable aid ; 
 
 Yea ; thoug-h it tarry, wait : 
 The blessing may be long del ay 'd, 
 
 But cannot come too late.

 Christ's Temptation a Grovnd of Encouragement. (Matt. iv. 1 — 1 1.) 
 ST. bene't. p. m. 
 WHEN gathering clouds around I view, 
 When days are dark, and friends are few, 
 On him I lean, who, not in vain, 
 Experienc'd ev'ry mortal pain: 
 He sees my griefs, allays my fears, 
 And counts and treasures up my tears. 
 
 If aught should tempt my soul to stray 
 From heav'nly wisdom's narrow way. 
 To flee the good I would pursue, 
 Or do the sin I would not do ; 
 Still he, who felt temptation's power. 
 Shall guard me in that dang'rous hour. 
 
 And Oh ! when I have safely past 
 Through ev'ry conflict but the last, 
 Still, Lord, unchanging, watch beside 
 My bed of death, for thou hast died : 
 Then point to realms of endless day. 
 And wipe the latest tear away.

 So shall thy work be done. 
 
 Commit thy ways to him ; 
 Thy works into his hands ; 
 And rest on his unchanging word, 
 Who heaven and earth commands. 
 
 Though years on years roll on. 
 His cov'nant shall endure ; 
 Though clouds and darkness hide his path, 
 The promis'd grace is sure. 
 
 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, 
 His power will clear thy way: 
 Wait thou his time ; the darkest night 
 Shall end in brightest day.

 Thy law upon my heart ; 
 Nor let my tongue indulge deceit. 
 
 Nor act the liar's part. 
 Order my footsteps by thy word, 
 
 And make my heart sincere ; 
 Let sin have no dominion, Lord, 
 
 But keep my conscience clear. 
 Help me to walk in thy commands, 
 
 And love the heav'nly road ; 
 Nor let my lips, or heart, or hands.

 Defend our souls with heav'nly care ; 
 Keep us from ev'ry hurtful snare ; 
 Lead us to Christ, the living way. 
 Nor let us from his precepts stray. 
 
 Lead us to God, our only rest. 
 To be with him for ever blest ; 
 Lead us to heaven, that we may share 
 Fulness of joy for ever there.

 Mercies obtained hy persevering Prayer, (Matt. xv. 21.) 
 
 angels' song. l. m. 
 WHAT various hindrances we meet. 
 In coming to the mercy seat : 
 Yet who, that knows the worth of prayer^ 
 But wishes to be often there ? 
 
 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight : 
 Prayer makes the Christian's armour bright ; 
 And Satan trembles when he sees 
 The weakest saint upon his knees. 
 
 Have we no words ? O ! think again, 
 Words flow apace when we complain. 
 And fill our fellow-creature's ear 
 With the sad tale of all our care. 
 
 Were half the breath, thus vainly spent. 
 To heaven in supplication sent ; 
 Our cheerful song would oft'ner be, — 
 " Hear what the Lord hath done for me.'*

 ST. David's, c. m. 
 
 WITH mj whole heart I seek thy face; 
 
 Lord, let me never stray, 
 Nor grieve the Spirit of thy grace. 
 
 Nor tread the sinners' way. 
 
 My heart with solemn rev'rence hears 
 
 The precepts of thy word : 
 My soul with holy trembling fears 
 
 The judgments of the Lord. 
 
 Did not the Saviour shed his blood, 
 
 To cleanse from ev'ry sin ? 
 That blood apply, most gracious God; — 
 
 O make me wholly clean !

 O GOD! my inmost soul convert. 
 And deeply on my thoughtful heart 
 
 Eternal things impress : 
 Give me to feel their solemn weight. 
 To tremble at the sinner's fate, 
 
 And wake to righteousness. 
 
 Be this my one great business here. 
 With holy jealousy and fear 
 
 To make my calling sure : 
 Thine utmost counsel to fulfil. 
 To suffer all thy righteous will. 
 
 And to the end endure. 
 
 Then, Saviour, then my soul receive. 
 Transported from this vale to live, 
 
 And reign with thee above ; 
 With thee, wdiere faith is lost in sight. 
 And hope, in full supreme delight.

 O GOD, most high, the soul that knows 
 
 Thine all-sustaining power, 
 Shall dwell in undisturb'd repose, 
 
 Nor fear the trying hour. 
 
 Angels, unseen, attend thy saints. 
 
 And bear them in their arms, 
 To cheer the spirit when it faints, 
 
 And guard their life from harms. 
 
 And thou, almighty God, art nigh 
 
 To them that love thy name ; 
 Thy power shall save them when they cry, 
 
 And put their foes to shame. 
 
 Crosses and trials are their lot 
 
 Through all their sojourn here ; 
 But, Saviour, since thou changest not. 
 
 Thy saints should never fear. 
 
 HYMN 84. 
 
 Encouragement to a firm Trust in God. ((^Jen. xlii. 36.) 
 
 BEDFORD. 
 
 GOD moves in a mysterious way 
 His wonders to perform ; 
 
 He plants his footsteps in the sea. 
 And rides upon the storm. 
 
 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ; 
 
 The clouds ye so much dread 
 Are big with mercy, and shall break 
 
 In blessings on your head. 
 
 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 
 But trust him for his grace ; 
 
 Behind a frowning providence 
 He hides a smiling face. 
 
 Blind unbelief is sure to err. 
 And scan his work in vain ; 
 
 God is his own interpreter, 
 And he will make it plain.

 Our daily bread from day to day. 
 
 The lions may with hunger pine ; 
 But, Lord, thou carest still for thine ; 
 Thy bounteous hand with food can bless 
 The lone and barren wilderness : 
 And thou hast taught our hearts to pray 
 For daily bread from day to day. 
 
 And while we travel faint and slow. 
 Thy pilgrims, through a vale of wo. 
 Do thou thy gracious comfort give, 
 By which alone our souls can live ;

 My richest gain I count but loss, 
 And pour contempt on all my pride.

 Save in the cross of Christ, my God : 
 The hopes that once I trusted most, 
 I quit them all for Jesus' blood. 
 
 See from his head, his hands, his feet. 
 Sorrow and love flow mingled down : 
 Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, 
 Or thorns compose so rich a crown ? 
 
 Were the whole realm of nature mine. 
 That were an offering far too small : 
 A love so boundless, so divine. 
 Demands my life, my soul, my all.

 HYMN 105. 
 
 Christ our Redeemer. (Gen xxii. 18.) 
 
 IRISH. C. M. 
 
 O LAMB of God ! the victim slain, 
 
 On whom our sins were laid ; 
 Whose life for ev'ry soul of man 
 
 Was once an off 'ring- made. 
 
 The great Redeemer, thee we own, 
 
 Of all our fallen race ; 
 Our faith would look to thee alone. 
 
 And rest upon thy grace. 
 
 Didst thou, to raise our hopes on high, 
 
 Forsake thy throne above ; 
 And give thyself for us to die, 
 
 Son of the Father's love ! 
 
 O make us thine, that we may know, 
 
 And feel our sins forgiven : 
 So shall we do thy will below. 
 
 And praise thy love in heaven. 
 
 HYMN 106. 
 
 For the Conversion of the Jews. (Third Collect.) 
 
 SAVOY. L. M. 
 
 OH, why should Israel's sons, once blest, 
 Still roam the scorning world around : 
 Disown'd of heaven, by man opprest. 
 Outcasts from Sion's hallow'd ground ! 
 
 O God of Israel, rend in twain 
 
 The veil which hides their Shiloh's light ; 
 
 The sever'd olive branch again 
 
 To its own parent stock unite. 
 
 While Judah views his birthright gone, 
 With contrite shame his bosom move. 
 The Saviour he denied, to own ; 
 The Lord he crucified, to love. 
 Haste, glorious day, expected long. 
 When Jew and Greek one prayer shall raise; 
 With eager feet one temple throng ; 
 One God with mutual rapture praise.

 Born from above, and kept, and blest : 
 So pass'd thy people through the flood ; 
 So, guided by the shadowing cloud, 
 
 They gain'd the promis'd Canaan's rest. 
 
 Baptiz'd into the Saviour's death, 
 O may we die to all beneath, 
 
 And live henceforth to him alone: 
 Serve him with zeal and patience here. 
 And wait till he, our life, appear. 
 
 And raise us to a heav'nly throne.

 By thy vict'ry, in the hour 
 Of the subtle tempter's power ; 
 Jesus ! look with pitying eye ; 
 Hear our solemn litany. 
 
 By thine hour of dark despair ; 
 By thine agony of prayer ; 
 By the purple robe of scorn ; 
 By thy wounds, tiiy crown of thorn ; 
 Cross and passion, pangs and cries ; 
 By thy perfect sacrifice ; 
 Jesus ! look with pitying eye ; 
 Hear our solemn litany. 
 
 By thy last expiring groan ; 
 By the seal'd sepulchral stone ; 
 By thy triumph o'er the grave ; 
 By thy power from death to save ;

 To thy throne in heaven restor'd ;

 Of our solemn litany.

 How high your great Deliverer reigns ; 
 Sing how he spoil'd the hosts of hell, 
 And led his captive, Death, in chains.

 When Jesus, rising from the dead, 
 Scatter'd the shades of pagan night. 
 And blest the nations with his light. 
 
 What hath God wrought ! let Britain see. 
 Freed from the papal tyranny ; 
 Its tenfold night, its iron chains.

 To bless the sacred name 
 Of Him that sits upon the throne,

 Which gave, and still preserves our breath ; 
 When fearful loads of guilt oppress. 
 Incarnate Son ! we plead thy death : 
 And lost in darkness, sin, and wo, 
 Spirit ! thy help and joy we know. 
 
 Thus to thy strength our weakness clings, 
 And always finds the promise sure ;

 God our Strength, (Josh. x. 10 — 14.) 
 ST. Matthew's, d. c. m. 
 THE Lord descended from above, 
 
 And bow'd the heavens most high ; 
 And underneath his feet he cast 
 
 The darkness of the sky : 
 On cherubim and seraphim 
 
 Full royally he rode ; 
 And on the wings of mighty winds 
 
 Came flying all abroad. 
 
 Blest be the Lord, the mighty God, 
 
 Most worthy of all praise ; 
 He is my rock, my saving health ; 
 
 To him my songs I'll raise.

 My heart shall rest on thee ! 
 Thou art my fortress and defence 
 
 In all necessity.

 To do my Master's will ! 
 
 Arm me with jealous care. 
 
 As in thy sight to live ; 
 And now thy servant. Lord, prepare, 
 
 A strict account to give. 
 
 Help me to watch and pray. 
 
 And still on thee rely ; 
 Assur'd, if I my trust betray, 
 
 I shall for ever die !

 And earth, and seas, with all their train : 
 His truth for ever stands secure ; 
 He saves the opprest, he feeds the poor ; 
 
 And none shall find his promise vain. 
 
 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind ; 
 The Lord supports the sinking mind ; 
 
 He sends the troubled conscience peace : 
 He helps the stranger in distress. 
 The widow, and the fatherless ; 
 
 And grants the prisoner full release. 
 
 I'll praise him while he lends me breath. 
 And when my voice is lost in death. 
 
 Praise shall employ my nobler powers : 
 My joy, my praise, shall ne'er be past. 
 While life, and thought, and being last, 
 
 And immortality endures.

 Partakers of thy grace ; 
 Whose humble names thou wilt confess 
 
 Before thy Father's face. 
 In them thou may'st be cloth'd, and fed. 
 
 And visited, and cheer'd ; 
 And, in their accents of distress. 
 
 Thy pleading voice is heard.

 For, while we minister to them, 
 
 We do it, Lord, to thee.

 Leave not our fearful hearts to fail. 
 
 To whom should trembling sinners flee, 
 Friend of the friendless, but to thee ? 
 Whose mercy is for ever sure, 
 To save the weak, and bless the poor. 
 
 Did ever mourner plead with thee, 
 And thou reject his humble plea ? 
 Does not thy promise yet remain — 
 That none shall seek thy face in vain ? 
 
 Yea, Lord, the poor and helpless share 
 Thy kind regard, and constant care ; 
 And surely shall his hopes succeed, 
 For whom the Saviour deigns to plead.

 In works, which perfect saints above, 
 And holy angels, cannot do. 
 
 Awake our charity, to feed 
 The hungry souls, and clothe the poor ; 
 In heaven are found no sons of need ; 
 There all these duties are no more. 
 
 God, by whose grace alone we live, 
 Commits the needy to our care ; 
 And shall we of his love receive. 
 And yet reject a brother's prayer ? 
 
 Shall we in worldly goods abound, 
 Yet nothing from our store impart ? 
 How can the love of God be found 
 Within a cold and selfish heart !

 Can feel another's pain ; 
 To whom the supplicating eye 
 
 Is never rais'd in vain : 
 Whose breast with gen'rous warmth expand 
 
 A brother's wo to feel ; 
 And melts with pity o'er the wound 
 
 He wants the power to heal. 
 
 Peace, which the world can never know, 
 
 Our God to him will give, 
 Who thus shall tread the Saviour's steps, 
 
 And to his glory live : 
 To him protection shall be shewn ;

 And shall not love constrain our heart, 
 This blessed knowledge to impart ? 
 
 O Saviour, who for all hast died ! 
 Be thou our teacher, help, and guide ; 
 Inflame our hearts with christian love.

 Let no vain thoughts disturb my breast : 
 Oh may my heart in tune be found, 
 Like David's harp of solemn sound ! 
 
 My heart shall triumph in the Lord, 
 And bless his works, and bless his word ; 
 Thy works of grace, how bright they shine !

 And, when thy heav'nly rest I know, 
 Thy praise shall all my powers employ,

 O LORD, my best desires fulfil. 
 
 And help me to resign 
 Life, health, and comfort, to thy will. 
 
 And make thy pleasure mine. 
 
 Why should I shrink at thy command. 
 
 When love forbids my fears ; 
 Or tremble at the gracious hand 
 
 That wipes away my tears ? 
 
 No, let me rather freely yield 
 
 What most I prize to thee ; 
 Who never hast a good withheld, 
 
 Nor wilt withhold, from me. 
 But ah ! my trembling spirit cries. 
 
 Still be thy grace my stay ; 
 Else the next cloud that veils my skies 
 
 Will drive my hopes away.

 Humble as a little child ; 
 Pleas'd with what the Lord provides ; 
 Wean'd from all the world besides. 
 
 Father, fix our souls on thee ; 
 Ev'ry evil let us flee ; 
 Always happy in thy love ; 
 Looking for our rest above.

 The road that leads to hell. 
 
 'Twill save us from a thousand snares 
 
 To mind religion young ; 
 Grace will preserve our riper years, 
 
 And make our virtue strong. 
 
 To thee. Almighty God, to thee 
 
 Our childhood we resign ; 
 Thy love in Christ our portion be. 
 
 And our whole lives be thine !

 Betimes employ our breath ; 
 
 Thus we're prepar d for length of days.

 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne 
 Ye nations bow with sacred joy ; 
 Know that the Lord is God alone ; 
 He can create, and he destroy. 
 
 His sovVeign power, without our aid, 
 Made us of clay, and form'd us men ; 
 And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd. 
 He brought us to his fold again. 
 
 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs ; 
 High as the heavens our voices raise ; 
 And earth, with her ten thousand tongues. 
 Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 
 
 Wide as the world is thy command ; 
 Vast as eternity thy love ; 
 Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, 
 When rolling years have ceas'd to move.

 O let us not with foolish pride 
 In our own righteousness confide ; 
 But make us all our weakness see. 
 And feel our strength derived from thee. 
 
 Assist, and teach us how to pray ; 
 Incline our nature to obey ; 
 What thou abhorrest, let us flee. 
 And only love what pleases thee.

 COME, let us search our hearts, and try 
 
 If all our ways be right : 
 Is God's great rule of equity 
 
 Our practice, and delight ? 
 
 Have we to others truly done, 
 
 As we would have them do : 
 Envious, unkind, and false to none ; 
 
 But always just and true ? 
 
 In vain we talk of Jesus' blood, 
 
 And place in him our trust. 
 If, while we boast our love to God, 
 
 We prove to men unjust. 
 
 Thou ! before whom we stand in awe, 
 
 And tremble, and obey ! 
 Write in our hearts thy perfect law ; 
 
 Help us to keep thy way !

 Create my nature pure within, 
 That I may hate the works of sin ; 
 Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart. 
 Nor take thy presence from my heart. 
 A broken heart, my God, my King, 
 Is all the sacrifice I bring : 
 The God of grace will ne'er despise

 And owns thy dreadful sentence just ; 
 Yet look, O Lord, with pitying eye. 
 And save the soul condemn'd to die.

 In majesty severe, 
 To sit in judgment on my soul. 
 
 Oh, how shall I appear! 
 But thou hast told the troubled mind 
 
 Who doth her sins lament.

 And never-fading flowers : 
 Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
 
 That heav'nly land from ours. 
 
 Oh, could we all our doubts remove, — 
 
 Those gloomy doubts that rise ; 
 And see the Canaan that we love 
 
 With faith's unclouded eyes : 
 Could we but stand where Moses stood, 
 
 And view the landscape o'er, 
 Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood.

 Yet ever strives by righteous deeds,

 His humble joy, his holy fear, 
 With deep repentance well agree.

 Be ever kept in mind : 
 No more will we our God forsake.

 But, Lord, to thee we pray ; 
 O write our humble names on high, 
 
 And keep us to that day !

 Serving him with all my powers : 
 
 While to others just I prove, 
 
 Walking by the law of love. 
 Lord, my heart with strength inspire, 
 Thus to keep thy perfect word : 
 Thou didst give the pure desire ; 
 Thou wilt needful aid aiford : 
 
 Help me to fulfil thy praise ; 
 
 Guide and bless me all my days.

 ST. dunstan's. l. m. 
 LORD, when thine Israel we survey, 
 We in their crimes discern our own ; 
 And, if thou turn thy face away. 
 Our mis'ry must, like theirs, be known. 
 
 To us thy prophets have been sent 
 With words of terror and of love ; 
 But neither grace, nor punishment. 
 Ten thousand stubborn hearts can move. 
 
 Thy wrath might scourge our guilty land 
 With plague, and famine, and the sword ; 
 Till the just vengeance of thine hand 
 Compell'd us to receive thy word. 
 
 Yet spare a nation long thine own. 
 Turn us from all our evil ways ; 
 'Tis thine to change the heart of stone. 
 And wake the dead to life and praise.

 Faith in the only sacrifice 
 
 That can for sin atone ; 
 To rest our hope, and fix our eyes

 On thee depending, let me go 
 In safety through this vale of wo ;

 Fear to confess the Lord most high ? 
 How then should I before him stand ; 
 How meet the terrors of his hand ? 
 
 Shall I, to please the thoug*htless throng*, 
 Soften thy truths, and smooth my tongue ; 
 Or, lured with idle pleasures, flee 
 The Cross, O Lord, endur'd by thee ? 
 
 And what is man ; his pride, and power ? 
 The passing vapor of an hour : 
 Lord, to thyself my spirit raise, 
 Above the world, its scorn, or praise ! 
 
 My life, my heart, my soul, are thine ; 
 Bright in thine image may I shine ; 
 In me fulfil thy pleasure. Lord ;

 On all its vanities look down, 
 
 Its wealth and pleasure, power and state : 
 The man who dares the world despise. 
 The Christian, he alone is wise ; 
 
 The Christian, he alone is great. 
 
 O God, let all my life declare

 And needful grace afford. 
 
 Help them to preach the truth of God ; 
 Redemption through the Saviour's blood;

 On all the Church his gifts to shower ; 
 To them, a messenger of power ; 
 
 To us, of life and peace. 
 
 So may they live to thee alone ; 
 
 Then hear the welcome word — ''Well done!" 
 
 And take their crown above : 
 Enter into their Master's joy. 
 And all eternity employ 
 
 In praise, and bliss, and love.

 Obey the call, ye dead in sin, 
 
 That now proclaims, " Arise !" 
 Wake, ere with vain remorse ye rue 
 The yawning pit that waits for you. 
 
 The worm that never dies ! 
 
 In vain their awful doom is told, 
 The ear is deaf, the heart is cold ; 
 
 We speak the word in vain : 
 Bound in the strength of death and hell. 
 Can man the great destroyer quell. 
 
 And break the captive's chain ? 
 O Lord of life ! O strong to save ! 
 Almighty Conqu'ror of the grave ! 
 
 Now let thy power be known : 
 By thine appointed servants speak ; 
 For, though the instrument is weak, 
 
 The word is still thine own.

 That leads to joys on high ; 
 Where knowledge grows without decay ; 
 
 Where love shall never die.

 Like sons would we obey, 
 Mark thy commands with filial fear,

 In heaven with palms they triumph now ; 
 We love to speak their honor'd names ; 
 Oh may our lips and lives avow 
 The truth they kept through blood and flames!

 Though hell oppose, and earth deride ;

 And as her holy labors rise. 
 
 So her rewards increase ; 
 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,

 MOUNT EPHRAIM. S. M. 
 
 YOUR harps, ye trembling saints, 
 Down from the willows take ; 
 Loud to the praise of love divine 
 Bid ev'ry string awake. 
 
 Though in a foreign land, 
 We are not far from home ; 
 And nearer to our house above 
 We ev'ry moment come. 
 
 When we in darkness walk, 
 Nor feel the heav'nly flame, 
 'Tis then that we should trust our God, 
 And rest upon his name. 
 
 How blest the man, O God, 
 Who stays himself on thee ! 
 Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, 
 Shall thy salvation see.

 March in heav'nly armor clad ; 
 Fight, nor think the battle long. 
 Soon shall vicfry wake your song. 
 
 Let not sorrow dim your eye ; 
 Soon shall ev'ry tear be dry ; 
 Let not fear your course impede ; 
 Great your strength, if great your need. 
 
 Onward, then, to glory move ; 
 More than conqu'rors ye shall prove ; 
 Though oppos'd by many a foe, 
 Christian soldiers, onward go !

 How frail, how apt to fall away ! 
 If but a moment thou withdraw.

 To thee, with trembling hope I call ; 
 O raise the feeble from the dust. 
 And let me never, never fall : 
 
 Let not thy grace be given in vain ; 
 
 Nor let me turn to sin again. 
 
 The pure and watchful mind bestow, 
 That trembles at the thought of sin ; 
 Let me thy full salvation know, 
 O thou, who didst the work begin : 
 Preserve me, lest I go astray, 
 And prove at length a castaway.

 Our foolish hearts, alas, are slow

 O, teach us. Lord, thy will to know, 
 
 And help us to obey. 
 
 Kind are the friends who lead us here. 
 
 To learn thy holy word ; 
 But vain is all their hope and care. 
 
 Without thy blessing. Lord. 
 
 Fulfil their hopes ; thy grace display 
 
 In ev'ry youthful mind ; 
 And, while they guide us in thy way.

 GREAT God ! o'er heaven and earth supreme, 
 Wliose g'lories all creation fill, 
 Our souls adore thine awful name, 
 And humbly wait to do thy will : 
 Thy glorious power what tongue can tell ! 
 What force thy sovereign word withstand ! 
 Yet thou dost stoop with men to dwell, 
 And giye thy blessings through their hand. 
 
 'Tis ours to feed these lambs of thine, 
 And train their footsteps on to heaven ; 
 We hail with joy the charge divine, 
 And freely give as thou hast given : 
 O Fount of love ! all gracious God ! 
 What can we oifer but thine own ? 
 For we are thine, redeem'd with blood, — 
 The precious blood of Christ thy Son. 
 
 On these, — on us, thy grace bestow, 
 The contrite heart, the lowly mind. 
 The love of God in Christ to know, 
 The wisdom from above to find: 
 Defend us from the power of sin ; 
 Save us from all self-righteous pride ; 
 Our sure support, thy peace within ; 
 Our only plea, that Christ hath died.

 " O grant another year ! 
 Then, if the tiller's care be vain. 
 
 No more the fig-tree spare." 
 
 The truth is ours ! his gracious help 
 
 The Spirit long hath given ; 
 And strength, and light, and grace supplied ; 
 
 But where our fruit for heaven !

 Still let thy grace be found ; 
 Henceforth to thee may all our lives 
 
 With holy fruits abound.

 They are g-one from all below ;

 But how little none can know. 
 
 Oh how fast our fleeting days 
 Bear us down life's rapid stream !

 All on earth is but a dream.

 So, when life's short tale is told. 
 We shall dwell with thee above.

 And what thy chief concern.

 MUSIC. — With the above is also published, in small quarto, a choice collection of PSALM and 
 HYMN TUNES, from the best Masters, ancient and modern; wherein especial care has been exer- 
 cised in choosing those Tunes which shall commend themselves to Christian Congregations by their 
 simplicity and their sweetness. To these are added such Chants, Doxologies, and Kyrie Eleesons, 
 as are best suited to parochial purposes. The Psalm and Hj-mn Tunes have been harmonized for 
 three voices, and adapted for the Organ or Piano-forte ; the whole being arranged for domestic 
 or public use, by William Hawes, of His Majesty's Chapel Royal, and of St. Paul's Cathedral. 
 
 Sold by William Hawes, 355, Strand; and by Henry Wix, 41, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars.

THE CHURCH AND THE BIBLE, 
 
 AN ANALYSIS 
 
 LESSONS, EPISTLES, AND GOSPELS, APPOINTED BY THE CHURCH 
 FOR EVERY SUNDAY AND HOLY-DAY IN THE YEAR. 
 
 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief 
 corner stone." — Ephes. ii. 20. 
 
 Among the many excellencies of the Liturgy, one of the greatest has 
 never been duly appreciated. The antiquity, the orthodoxy, the 
 scriptural character, the ardent, yet sober devotion of the prayers, have 
 afforded a theme for admiration even to opponents of the Church ; but 
 a subject not less admirable and important — the fulness, order, and 
 completeness of her appointed scripture services — have been compara- 
 tively overlooked. 
 
 In preparing the volume of Psalms and Hymns, the Editor thought 
 it right to make the Liturgy his standard in all things ; and as the best 
 means of accomplishing this, he examined and compared the appointed 
 services for every Sunday and Holy-day in the year. Had there been 
 no difficulties in this task the subject would long ago have been 
 familiar to every one. The connexion often seems obscure, and the 
 reason for appointing a particular chapter not very evident : yet when 
 the key to the general subject of the day has been discovered, all 
 appears simple and harmonious. Sometimes the point of comparison 
 will be found in a single verse, which conveys a fact or principle suffix 
 ciently important to justify the selection of the chapter ; at others, — 
 and this is especially the case with the lessons from the Old Testament, — 
 
 B 
 
2 The Church and the Bible. 
 
 it exists in a principle illustrated by the narrative, or to be inferred from 
 it ; and at others, again, it is traced in something which is so connected 
 with a more prominent and striking narrative, that it is liable to be 
 overlooked. The reason for appointing Deuteronomy x. as the first 
 morning lesson for Ascension day does not appear, until we find in the 
 second lessons. Epistle, and Gospel, that the subject for the day is not 
 merely the fact of our Lord's ascension, but also, and in connexion 
 with it, the appointment of a permanent, authoritative ministry. We 
 then find the application in verse 6, which shows the succession of the 
 High-priesthood. In the first evening lesson for the same day, the 
 translation of Elijah might well signify the ascension of our Lord ; but 
 the chief beauty and force of the application will not be felt, if we 
 overlook the fact, that when he left the earth his spirit rested on 
 Elisha. 
 
 From this example it will appear that while the subject requires 
 much attention to understand it properly, it will abundantly repay the 
 time and trouble devoted to it. There is, in fact, no Church principle ; 
 no point of doctrine, practice, or of discipline ; which is not thus 
 established and illustrated by the Liturgy in the pure words of 
 Scripture ; nor is the completeness of the system more admirable than 
 its practical applicatioii. Holiness is every where inseparably associated 
 with faith ; duty with privilege ; condition and obligation with promise ; 
 when a doctrine is liable to be perverted, full caution is supplied. The 
 whole is arranged in such order that the successive days have a due 
 dependence upon each other. Thus the disciple is led forward, step by 
 step, in a study of divinity which scarcely leaves room for question or 
 controversy, from the simplicity with which the truth is set forth, and 
 the authority on which it rests. 
 
 The Editor has drawn up a brief analysis, which may not altogether 
 spare the reader the necessity for thinking closely on the subject, but 
 it will assist and direct his thoughts. The Hymns applied to each 
 day will afibrd, at once, a commentary and an application.
