4 For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, PSALM C. (L. M.) Second Version. 1 WITH one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And sing before him songs of praise: 2 Convinc'd that he is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed; We, whom he chooses for his own, The flock that he vouchsafes to feed. 3 O, enter then his temple gate, Thence to his courts devoutly press, And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless. 4 For he's the Lord, supremely good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth, which all times firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure.

In thee shine most clear. 2 With light as a robe, 3 His chamber-beams lie Which, as his chariots, Are made him to bear; And there with much swiftness, 4 He maketh his spirits, PSALM CIV. (P. M.) 1 O WORSHIP the King, His unchangeable love! Whose canopy, space; The deep thunder clouds form, And dark is his path On the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care, What tongue can recite?
