For peace we pray'd; thy bounteous hand 4 Thy mighty arm, eternal pow'r, In mercy swept them from our shore, Our rights thy mercy will maintain, 6 Thus, Lord, thy wond'rous pow'r declare, 1 PSALM 21. Third Part. L. M. DAVID rejoic'd in God, his strength, 2 How great is the Messiah's joy Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high, 5 But as a fiery oven glows 1 Thy vengeance shall consume his foes; 'MY Christ forsaken on the cross. Y God, my God, why hast thou left Of thy blest smiles to be bereft 2 But thou art holy, O my God, 3 Our fathers trusted in thy name, 4 Shaking the head, they pass me by, "In vain he trusts in God," they cry, 5 Yet, thou, O God! hast form'd my flesh, By thy almighty word, And since I hung upon the breast, 6 My God, if possible it be, Withhold this bitter cup: 7 My heart dissolves with pangs unknown; Thy heavy hand hath brought me down 8 Father, I give my spirit up, And trust it in thine hand: 1 My dying flesh shall rest in hope, PSALM 22. Second Part. C. M. WRITHING in pain, our Saviour pray'd With mighty cries and tears: In that dread hour, his Father heard, 2 Great was the vict'ry of his death 3 A num'rous race shall mount the skies 4 The meek and humble souls shall see And all that seek the Lord shall be 5 The isles shall know the righteousness 1 Salvation in his blood. PSALM 22. Third Part. L. M. Now let our mournful songs record When he complain'd in tears and blood, 2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn, And shook their heads and laugh'd in scor 3 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, 'Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he dy'd. 4 But God, his Father, heard his cry; Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high: The nations learn his righteousness, And humble sinners taste his grace. 1 PSALM 23. First Part. L. M. JESUS, my Lord, doth condescend, To be my shepherd and my friend; I on his faithfulness rely, His cares shall all my wants supply. 3 When stray'd, or languid, I complain, 5 A table stor❜d with living bread, 6 Goodness and mercy shall to me, 1 PSALM 23. Second Part. S. M. I shall not want. JESUS my Shepherd lives, Jehovah is his name: Since he is mine, and I am his, 2 He leads me to the place 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim : 4 While he affords his aid, I cannot want or fear : 'Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, My shepherd's with me there. 5 In spite of all my foes Thou dost my table spread; Shall crown my following days; PSALM 24. L. M. The heavenly mansions, and ascension of Christ. HIS spacious earth is all the Lord's, ΤΗ And men and worms, and beasts and birds He rais'd the building on the seas, And gave it for their dwelling-place. |
