INTRODUCTION. 
 
 
 The Author of the following verses is well aware of not being able to 
 do full justice to a subject of such vital importance to mankind, the 
 Salvation of our Souls, as we have not occupied more than four lines of 
 our limited space on any one topic connected with this most sacred sub- 
 ject, yet hath endeavored to give in a concise form an explicit view of 
 the different parts connected with this most sublime subject, and it is 
 given strictly according to the scriptural records of the Old and New 
 Testament. These few verses are strong, plain and conclusive. 
 
 <~ TO THE READER. 
 
 Dearly beloved, who read, peruse, or sing the following verses, if we 
 have been of any assistance in bringing to your memory the sacred 
 truths contained in these few lines, even then our hopes are somewhat 
 realized; but if any of the truths contained in these few verses be of 
 any assistance in impressing on your mind the necessity of leading a 
 truly Christian life, then is our most fondest hope realized indeed. 
 
 Under the care of our good angel and protection of the Holy Mother 
 of God, we this day dedicate this little work to our Lord Christ the 
 Messiah, the Lamb, hoping that you who read these few lines, will be 
 mindful of us in your prayer to God. We beg to be excused for all 
 poetical or grammatical errors that may be found in these few verses, as 
 we have given more preference to sacred truth. 
 
 Praise the Lord, O ye Temple built under Darius, 
 
 It shall be made more great than any former one, 
 
 The orient from on high will glor'fy it in person, 
 
 The Desired of Na tions in't shall instruct thee, O man.

A 
 
 SACRED CANTICLE 
 
 OF PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH GOD, 
 
 THE GREAT CREATOR OF MAN AND OF THE DELUGE. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord thy God, who founded the heavens, 
 Planets, worlds, fill the regions of his endless domain, 
 Number'd, survey'd, yet beyond human conception, 
 Their grand order records the great glory of his name. 
 Praise the Lord, ye endless planetary regions, 
 Whose swift evolution by centrifugal force run, 
 Those great majestic work^the terrestrial creation 
 Proclaims the unbound'd power of God, creator of man. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, whose throne of glory's the heavens, 
 
 Great God Almighty, Eternal Creator of man, 
 
 Prince Eternal, peace great corner stone of glory, 
 
 Luminating great light heavens eternal Son. 
 
 Praise the Lord the most august holy Trinity, 
 
 Three persons in unison, Father, Spirit and Son, 
 
 One eternal, great undivided Divinity, 
 
 Whose great reign's glorified by his works angels and men. 
 
Praise ye the Lord, thy great Eternal Creator, 
 Who hath given us life and existence his own ; 
 Formed us of earth in his own spiritual likeness, 
 Partakers of his glory, heirs of his heavenly home. 
 Praise ye the Lord, O ye descendants of Adam, 
 Whose disobedience brought death, the wages of sin : 
 Thy son Cain went forth in his own self sufficieny, 
 Sought not the Lord, source of our strength, true wisdom 
 in him. 
 
 Praise the Lord, O ye daughters of Eve, our mother, 
 When low in our fallen state, disobedience' and sin, 
 He said, Woman's seed would crush the serpent forever, 
 By the blood of his beloved eternal son. 
 Praise the Lord, ye holy patriarch's from Adam, 
 Who walked in his holy way, taught by his word ; 
 Enoch's found blameless, he's translated into heaven, 
 From midst man's sinful disobedience to the Lord. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, O ye decendants of Noah, 
 Who only was found ritious in sight of his God ; 
 He building the Ark, according to the pattern, 
 By faith saved his generation, man, from the flood. 
 Praise the Lord, ye numerous offspring of Noah, 
 Ever remember that scourge devastating flood, 
 For man's wicked crimes, sin and dreadful disobedience, 
 He o'erwhelm'd the earth and sinful man in the flood. 
 
SACRED CANTICLE 
 
 OF GREAT PRAISE TO GOD, 
 
 ON THE CALL OF ABRAHAM FROM AMIDST THE CHALDEAN AND OF ISRAEL. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, ye descendants of Abraham, 
 Whom he hath call'd- forth from amidst the Chaldean, 
 Promised in his seed all nations would be bless'd, 
 And make of him a Nation in his faith to teach man. 
 Praise ye the Lord, whose Love for mankind's forever, 
 Great the mighty promises he made to Abraham, 
 All Land from Egypt to the great river Euphrates, 
 The Dominion of Israel, th' holy lands of Canaan. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, ye descendants of Israel, 
 
 In your envy, malice, wicked devices, your own, 
 
 Sold your belov'd brother Joseph to foreign bondage, 
 
 Banish'd him forever from his father's blest home. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, our most merciful Father, 
 
 Who was with him through strange lands to Joseph 
 
 unknown, 
 Gave unto him the great spirit of revelation ; 
 He interpreting Pharaoh's dreams of great famine to come. 
 
Praise ye the Lord, whose Spirit exalted Joseph, 
 His intregrity of soul, 'tis this day made known, 
 Pharaoh discerning Joseph's great spirit of wisdom, 
 Proclaim'd him Governor of Egypt o'er his great home. 
 Praise ye the Lord, whose mercy endureth forever, 
 Seven years of great plenty o'er Egypt hath come, 
 Fill'ng her vast stores, gran'ries increased beyond number, 
 With grain purchas'd by Pharaoh for th' great famine to 
 come. 
 
 Praise the Lord, whose decrees are fulfill'd forever, 
 Seven years great famine o'er Egypt and borders is sent, 
 Throughout all Canaan beyond the great River Jordan, 
 Great famine prevailing, want of food and corn is felt. 
 Praise the Lord, two years and yet famine more prevailing, 
 Great scarcity is felt throughout the Lands of Canaan, 
 Israel's sons are gone forth to Egypt to buy corn, 
 •To provide for their Father's great household and home. 
 
 Praise the Lord, most just and merciful, forever, 
 They're strangers, must apply to the governor alone, 
 Joseph perceives they are his own beloved brethren. 
 Said by Pharaoh, your're spies, for invasion hath come. 
 Praise be the Lord, we're not spies, but twelve sons of one 
 
 father, 
 One's dead, the other remains with his father at home, 
 We are peaceable men, and come forth to buy corn, 
 Great famine prevailing, in Canaan there is none. 
 
Praise the Lord, they are forthwith cast into prison, 
 
 Charged with being spies against Pharaoh's great throne; 
 
 Three days they await the decision of Pharaoh, 
 
 Shut in prison they weep for crimes gainst Joseph they've 
 done. 
 
 Praise be the Lord, they are called forth from prison, 
 
 The decision of Pharaoh to them is made known ; 
 
 Simon must remain yet a hostage, with Pharaoh, 
 
 Whilst the rest may return with grain for father's great 
 home. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, they arrived with corn from Egypt, 
 Their whole case herein stated, to their father made known, 
 They were imprison'd *as spies, Simon detained a hostage, 
 Till they bring their youngest brother Benjamin from home. 
 Praised be the Lord, said Israel, as he bow'd weeping, 
 Joseph, he's dead you told me, by wild beasts was slain, 
 Simon remains yet a hostage with Pharoah, 
 Mishap befalls Benjamin, I'll go mourning to my grave. 
 
 Praise the Lord, Israel's sons again gone forth to Egypt, 
 Benjamin they present before governor and king, 
 Simon, he's released from prison as a hostage, 
 Presently he's brought forth and deliver'd unto them. 
 Praise ye the Lord, whose spirit dwelleth in Joseph, 
 His great heart fill'd with true benevolence most kind, 
 Sons of Israel accept th' Governor's hospitality, 
 Twelve sons of Israel this night in his mansion shall dine. 
 
A 
 
 SACRED CANTICLE 
 
 OF PRAISE TO GOD ON JOSEPH'S PROSPERITY, 
 
 THE LOST ONE, MEETING OF THE BRETHREN. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, they are gone forth to the mansion, 
 Where dinner's prepared, name, age, rank, marks their seat, 
 They'r received with great joy by the Governor at table, 
 Dividends of honor'd birth comes forth on each plate. 
 Praise be the Lord, your aged Father yet liveth, 
 I presume he's a man of year's advanc'd in age, 
 If you'd know how I love to look on his features, 
 Seems he must be of honor'd birth and great parentage. 
 
 Praised be the Lord, Israel our Father yet liveth, 
 He's of Isaac, his mother Rachel, Melcha's race, 
 His grandsire's, Abraham called forth from the Chaldean, 
 Of Sem, descendant of Seth, that patriarchal sage. 
 Praised be the Lord, at this veiled grand reception, 
 The great designs of the Most High is'nt none to man, 
 This shall be a proverb 'ere spoken by the nation's 
 Toast, Let all mankind come, there's corn in Egypt for them. 
 
 Praised be the Lord, Simon released from prison, 
 They on their way rejoice, their reception's most kind, 
 Lo, a courier is dispatch'd, order'd to detain them, 
 Charged with taking master's cup, he's wont to divine. 
 Praised be the Lord, such a crime charged against Israel, 
 They're then brought back before the Governor arraign'd, 
 Search made the cup's found in the sack of Benjamin, 
 The rest are all liberated while Benjamin's detained. 
 
Praise ye the Lord, Israel's sons sore, sore they're weeping, 
 They would rather perish than return without Benjamin. 
 All said, we'll become master's bond slaves forever, 
 Let the boy return to his aged Father in Canaan. 
 Praised be the Lord, Joseph longer can't restrain himself, 
 Cried aloud, his tears gushing forth like torrents they flow, 
 Draw you near unto me that I may embrace you, 
 I am Joseph, your brother to foreign bondage you sold. 
 
 Praise the Lord, Israel's sons in great joy they're weeping, 
 Loud, loud, they cried, their tears of affection doth flow, 
 Lost one is found, dead's yet living, Joseph whom they sold, 
 Before him in joy'd sorrow'ng contrition they bow. 
 Praise ye the Lord, Israel's cry is heard at a distance, 
 Their mingled tears of joy long continues to flow, 
 They wept, they have cried nigh like to distraction, 
 Fully satisfied, their tears gently cease to flow. 
 
 Praised be the Lord, said Joseph unto his brethren. 
 Be not angry concerning what you've done unto me, 
 'Twas the will of the Lord I came here before you, 
 To have a place prepared that I might preserve thee. 
 Praised be the Lord, Israel, my father, yet liveth, 
 Tell him Joseph's living and of my great prosperity, 
 Let Israel, my father, come forth and sojourn in Egypt", 
 The lands of Goshen he'll dwell and be nourish'd by me. 
 
SACRED CANTICLE 
 
 OF PRAISE TO GOD, 
 
 on Israel's going forth to egypt, 
 
 Praised be the Lord, Israel's gone forth to Egypt, 
 When that he came to the great well of the Oath, 
 He there alights for the night and sacrificed victims, 
 Renews his covenants to God by word and acts both. 
 Praise the Lord, who said, I'll go down with you to Egypt, 
 And make of thee a mighty great nation of men, 
 Again bring thee back and establish thee forever, 
 Give to thy posterity the holy lands of Canaan. 
 
 Praise the Lord, Israel's arrived with Joseph in Egypt, 
 In tears of affection oft each other embraced, 
 His face seem'd like the guardian angel of Israel, 
 Since Joseph yet lives, let thy servant depart in peace. 
 Praise the Lord, seventeen years Israel yet liveth 
 They're assembled, his last prophetic words to hear, 
 Behold the scepter shall not depart from Judah, 
 Till he comes the desired, him the nations shall hear. 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, many years and Joseph's not living, 
 Other Pharaoh's have arisen who know not the Lord, 
 Jealous of Israel's increasing prosperity, 
 Conspir'd to enslave by task masters press them to work. 
 Praise the Lord, who permitted Israel's captivity, 
 For four hundred years a mission in Egypt to man, 
 That their faith be impress'd on the bosom soul of mankind, 
 That there does exist a God that rules in the kingdom of 
 man. 
 
SACRED CANTICLE 
 
 OF PRAISE TO GOD, 
 
 FOR THE DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL FROM BONDAGE IN THEIR WONDERFUL FLIGHT 
 THROUGH THE RED SEA. 
 
 Praise the Lord ye great deliverer's of Israel, 
 Moses and Aaron commission'd from on high, 
 To lead forth Israel from the house of bondage, 
 Pharoah persists to refuse Egypt's first born must die. 
 Praise the Lord who instituted the paschal festivity. 
 Commands Israel the paschal lamb to sacrifice, 
 Sprinkle with its blood door posts lintle of Israel, 
 Sign of man's redemption, when Egypt's first born must die. 
 
 Praise the Lord, Egypt's first born lies dead this morning, 
 Sore, sore they have wept, and loud, loud they cried, 
 Let Israel depart from our midst now and forever, 
 Pharaoh continues to refuse, all in Egypt must die. 
 Praised be the Lord, Israel is gone forth from Egypt, 
 From the house of bondage by the strong arm of the Lord, 
 Led forth to the desert by way of the Red Sea, 
 Pharaoh viewing them straighten'd, pursues with army and 
 sword. 
 
12 
 
 Praise ye the Lord, whose cloud shaded them from Pharaoh, 
 A bright pillar of fire direct their way by night, 
 When on the coast Moses commands the sea to open, 
 Israel's pass over by God saved in their flight. 
 Praise ye the Lord, Pharaoh's forces still pursuing, 
 Their whole force advancing as up on solid ground, 
 Moses strikes the sea, foaming billows returning, 
 O'erwhelmed is Pharaoh, Egypt's great force is drown'd. 
 
 Praise the Lord, magnify his great name forever, 
 Who upheld Israel's path across the foaming deep, 
 Whilst Pharaoh's pride, Egypt's force's engulft forever,
