Age to age his works transmitteth,

Age to age his power shall teach. 3 They shall talk of all thy glory,

On thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of thy dread acts the story,

And thy deeds of wonder tell.

His anger moves with slowest pace,

His willing mercy flies. 7 Thy love through earth extends its fame,

To all thy works express’d;
These show thy praise, whilst thy great

Name
Is by thy servants bless'd.
& They, with a glorious prospect fired,

Shall of thy kingdom speak;
And tly great power, by all admired,

Their lofty subject make.
9 God's mighty works of ancient date

Shall tlus to all be known ;
And thus his kingdom's glorious state

In all its splendour shown. 10 His steadfast ilırone, from changes free,

Shall stand for ever fast;
His boundless sway no end shall see,

But time itself outlast.

4 Nor shall fail from memory's treasure,

Works by love and mercy wrought; Works of love surpassing measure,

Works of mercy passing thought. 5 Full of kindness and compassion,

Slow to anger, vast in love,
God is good to all creation;

All his works his goodness prove. 6 All thy works, O Lord, shall bless thee,

Thee shall all thy saints adore;
King supreme shall they confess thee,

And proclaim thy sovereign power. 7 They thy might, all might excelling,

Shall to all mankind make known;
And the briglıtness of thy dwelling,

And the glories of thy throne. 8 Ever, God of endless praises,

Shall tly royal might remain;
Evermore thy brightness blazes,

Ever lasts thy righteous reign.
9 Them that fall the Lord protecteth,

IIe sustains the bow'd and beut:
Every eye from thee expecteth,

Fix'd on tlice, its nourislıment.

PART II. C. M.
I The Lord does them support that fall,

And makes the prostrate rise;
For his kind aid all creatures call,

Who timely food supplies. 2 Whate'er their various wants require,

With open hand he gives;
And so fulfils llie just desire

Of every thing that lives.
3 How loly is the Lord, how just,

How righteous all liis ways !
Ilow nigh to him, who with firin trust

For leis assistance prays!
4 Ile grants the full desires of those

Who liim with fear adore;
And will their troubles soon compose,

When they liis aid implore. 5 The Lord preserves all those with care

Whom grateful love employs;
But sinners, who liis vengeance dare,

In justice lie destroys.
6 My time to come, in praises spent,

Shall still advance his fame;
And all mankind, with one consent,

For ever bless his Name.

10 Thou to all, great God of nature,

Giv'st in season due their food;
Spread'st thy land, and

every creature Satisfiest still with good. 11 God is just in all he doeth,

Kind is he in all leis ways;
lle his ready presence showeth,

When a faithful servant prays. 12 Who sincerely seek and fear liim,

He to them their wislı will give; When they call, the Lord will hear them

IIe will hear them, and reliere.

From the cxlvi. Psalm of David,

And earth, and seas, with all their tru; He saves th’ oppress'd, he feeds the poor ; His truth for ever stands secure,

And none shall find his promise vain. 4 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind, The Lord supports the sinking mind, Ile sends the righteous strength and

peace, lle helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless,

And to the prisoner grants release.

On them his wrath shall ever burn,

Sinners shall perish in their ways:

PRAISE the Lord, and thou, my soul,

For ever bless his Name:

They camot lielp, they turn to dust,

And all their counsels (lie.
3 Thien lappy lie, who Jacob's God

For his protector takes; Who still, with well-placed hope, the Lord

Ilis constant refuge makes. 4 The Lord, who madle both leaven and

earth,
And all that they contain,
Will never quit his steadfast truth,

Nor make his promise vain. 5 The poor, oppress'il, from all their wrongs

Are eased by his decree;
He gives the hungry needful food,

And sets the prisoners free.

The orplan kinılly treats; Defends the widow, and the wiles

Of wicked men defeats.

Is our cternal king:
From age to age his reign endures;

Let all his praises sing.

SELECTION 121.
From the cxlvii. Psalm of David.

PART I. C. M.
O PRAISE the Lord with hymns of joy,
For pleasant, good, and comely 'tis

To praise his holy Name. 2 His holy city God will build,

Though levell’d with the ground; Bring back his people, though dispersed

Through all the nations round.
3 lle kindly heals the broken hearts,

And all their wounds does close ;
He tells the number of the stars,

Their several names he knows.
4 Great is the Lord, and great his power,

Ilis wisdom lias no bound;
The meek he raises, and throws down

The wicked to the ground.
5 To God the Lord, a hymn of praise

With grateful voices sing;
To songs of triumph tune the harp,

And strike each warbling string. 6 Ho covers licaven with clouds, and thence

Refreshing rain bestows;
And on the mountains, through his care,

The grass in plenty grows.
7 IIis care the beasts that loosely range

With timely food supplies;
lle feeds the ravens' tender brood,

And stops their hungry cries.

Ilis tender love extends;
To him that on his boundless gruce

With stead hope depends.

SELECTION 120. II. 2.

From the cxlvi. Psalm of David,
I!!
'LI praise my Maker with any breaılı,
And when my voice is lost in death,

Praise shall employ my nobler powers: ly days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last,

Or immortality endures. ? Why shoull I place in mau my trust ? Lv'n princes die and turn to clust,

Vain is the help of fleshi and blood; Theirbreath departs, their pomp and power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour,

Vor can they make their promise good. 3 Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God: he made the sky,

9 Let Sion and Jerusalem

To God their praise address; Whose strength secures their lasting gates,

Who does their children bless.

PART II. L. M. 1 Jehovah speaks: swift from the skies

To earth the sovereign inandate flies;
The elements confess their Lord,

With prompt obedience to his word; 2 The thick-descending flakes of snow

O'er earth a fleecy mantle throw";
And glitering frost o'er all the plains

Binds nature fast in icy chains.
3 Ile speaks: the ice and snow obey,

And nature's fetters melt away;
Softly the vernal breezes blow,

And murmuring waters freely flow. 4 But nobler works his grace record ;

To Israel he reveals his word;
To them, his chosen flock, alone,

He inakes his sacred precepts known. 5 Such bliss no heathen nation shares,

His oracles are only theirs :
Let Israel then their voices raise,
And bless their God in songs of praise.

And fish that through the sea
Glide swift with glittering scales ;

And misty air,
And winds that where

He bids them blow. 5 By hills, and mountains, all

In grateful concert join'd;
By cedars stately tall,
And trees for fruit desigu’d;

By every beast,
And creeping thing,
And fowl of wing,

His Name be blest. 6 Let all of higliest birth,

With those of humbler name.
And judges of the earth,
His matchiless praise proclaim:

In this design,
Let youthis with maids,
And hoary lieads

With children, join. 7 United zeal be showr:

Whose glorious Yame alone
Deserves our endless praise;

Earth's utmost ends

And still rejoice

The Lord to praise !
