PSALM LIX. O Lord our Lord how excellent! Ps. viii. 1. O God our Lord, how wonderful Thy fame surmounts in dignity The highest heav'ns that are. Old Version. Ev'n by the mouth of tender babes And when I see the heav'ns above, Lord! what is man, that thou of him Or what the son of man, whom thou HYMN LX. Who through faith subdued kingdoms. Heb. xi. 33. O, for an overcoming faith, To cheer my dying hours! Joyful, with all the strength I have, If sin be pardon'd, I'm secure, Now, to the God of victory, Immortal thanks be paid; Who makes us conqu'rors while we live, PSALM LXI. I will love thee O Lord my strength! Ps. xviii. 1. O God, my strength and fortitude, Of force I must love thee; Thou art my castle and defence, In my necessity. The Lord descended from above, And bowed the heav'ns most high: On cherubs and on cherubim, And on the wings of mighty winds, Who then is God except the Lord? Or who is the Omnipotent, Saving our God alone? PSALM LXII. Praise ye the Lord. Ps. cxxxv. 1. Old Version. O praise the Lord, praise ye his name, O praise him still, all ye that be O praise him, ye that stand and see Praise ye the Lord, for he is good, It is a sweet and pleasant thing, The Lord most surely will avenge And to his servants he will show Favour in time of need. HYMN LXIII. Pray without ceasing. 1 Thess. v. 17. PRAY'R is the soul's sincere desire, Utter'd or unexprest; The motion of an hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Pray'r is the burden of a sigh, Pray'r is the simplest form of speech Pray'r is the christian's vital breath; The christian's native air ; His watchword at the gate of death; He enters heav'n with pray'r. |
