fleep nor flumber to his eyes Good David would afford,

"N%

Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.

2 The Lord in Zion plac'd his name,
His ark was fettled there:

To Zion the whole nation came
To worship thrice a year.

3 But we have no fuch lengths to go,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where'er thy faints affemble now,
There is a houfe for God.]

PAUSE.

4 Arife, O King of grace, arife,
And enter to thy reft!

Lo! thy church waits, with longing eyes,
Thus to be own'd and bleft.

5 Enter, with all thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and thy word;

All that the ark did once contain

Could no fuch grace afford.

6 Here, mighty God! accept our vows,
Here let thy praise be spread;
Blefs the provifions of thy house,
And fill thy poor with bread.

7 Here let the Son of David reign;
Let God's Anointed fhine;
Juftice and truth his court maintain,
With love and pow'r divine.

8 Here let him hold a lafting throne,
And, as his kingdom grows,
Fresh honours fhall adorn his crown,
And fhame confound his foes.

PSALM CXXXIII. Common Metre.

L

Brotherly love.

O, what an entertaining fight
Are brethren that agree!

Brethren, whofe cheerful hearts unite

In bands of piety!

2 When ftreams of love, from Christ the spring, Defcend to ev'ry foul,

And heav'nly peace, with balmy wing,
Shades and bedews the whole :

3 'Tis like the oil, divinely fweet,
On Aaron's rev'rend head,
The trickling drops perfum'd his feet,
And o'er his garments spread.

4 'Tis pleafant as the morning dews
That fall on Zion's hill,

Where God his mildeft glory fhews,
And makes his grace diftil.

PSALM CXXXIII. Short Metre.

Communion of faints; or, love and worship in a

family.

LEST are the fons of peace,

B Whofe hearts and hopes are one,

Whofe kind designs to ferve and please,
Through all their actions run.

2 Bleft is the pious houfe

Where zeal and friendship meet,
Their fongs of praife, their mingled vows,

Make their communion fweet.

Thus, when on Aaron's head
They pour'd the rich perfume,

The oil through all his raiment spread,
And pleasure fill'd the room.

Thus on the heav'nly hills
The faints are bleft above,

Where joy, like morning dew, diftils,
And all the air is love.

PSALM CXXXIII.

Particular Met.

The bleffings of friendship.

WOW pleasant 'tis to fee
Kindred and friends agree,

Each in their proper ftation move,
And each fulfil their part,

With fympathifing heart,

In all the cares of life and love! 2 "Tis like the ointment fhed On Aaron's facred head, Divinely rich, divinely sweet :

I

3

The oil through all the room
Diffus'd a choice perfume,

Ran through his robes, and bleft his feet.

Like fruitful fhow'rs of rain
That water all the plain,

Descending from the neighb'ring hills;
Such ftreams of pleasure roll

Through ev'ry friendly foul,
Where love like heav'nly dew distils.

[Repeat the first stanza, if necessary.]

YE

1 E that obey th' immortal King,
Attend his holy place;
Bow to the glories of his pow'r,
And blefs his wondrous grace.

2 Lift

And fend your fouls on high:

Raife your admiring thoughts by night
Above the starry sky.

With rays of quick'ning grace;
The God that fpreads the heav'ns abroad,
And rules the fwelling feas.

His church is his peculiar joy.

3 The Lord himfelf will judge his faints:
He treats his fervants as his friends:
And when he hears their fore complaints,
Repents the forrows that he fends.
4 Through every age the Lord declares
His name, and breaks th' oppreffor's rod;
He gives his fuff'ring fervants reft,
And will be known Th' Almighty God.
5 Blefs ye the Lord, who taste his love,
People and priests, exalt his name:
Amongft his faints he ever dwells:
His church is his Jerufalem.

GR

REAT is the Lord, exalted high
Above all pow'rs, and ev'ry throne:
Whate'er he pleafe, in earth or fea,
Or heav'n or hell, his hand hath doné.
2 At his command the vapours rise,
The lightnings flafh, the thunders roar;
He pours the rain, he brings the wind
And tempeft from his airy ftore.

3 'Twas he thofe dreadful tokens fent,
O Egypt, through thy ftubborn land;
When all thy firft-born, beafts and men,
Fell dead by his avenging hand.
