(PART SECOND.)

4.

That breath is always in thy hand— It stays and goes at thy command; We hold our lives from Thee aloneTheir limits are to us unknown.

5.

To Thee our being we resign,
And while it lasts, oh be it thine;
Then death is hope, should e'en this
Thy awful summons meet the ear.

PSALM LVIII.

1.

THE earth and all the heav'nly frame
Their great Creator's love proclaim;
He gives the sun his genial pow'r,
And sends the soft refreshing show'r.

2.

The ground with plenty blooms again,
And yields its various fruits to men ;
To men, who from thy bounteous hand>
Receive the gifts of every land.

3.

Nor to the human race alone

Is thy paternal goodness shewn,-
The tribes of earth and sea and air
Enjoy thy universal care.

PSALM LIX.

(PART FIRST.)

1.

YE tribes of Adam join,

With heav'n and earth and seas,

And offer notes divine

To your Creator's praise.

Wide as he reigns

His name be sung,
By every tongue,

In endless strains.

2.

The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand;
Or in swift courses move,
By his supreme command.
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came,

To praise the Lord.

(PART SECOND.)

3.

The world obey'd his will
Through unknown ages past,
And shall his word fulfil
While time and nature last.
In different ways

His works proclaim
His wondrous name,
And speak his praise.

4.

To God, the sov'reign Lord,

Your joyful thanks repeat;
To him due praise afford,
As good as he is great.
Wide as he reigns
His name be sung,
By every tongue,

In endless strains.

PSALM LX.

1.

YE works of God, to him alone,

From earth His foot-stool-heav'n his

Let all your praises rise;

[throne

Whose hand the beauteous fabric made; Whose eye the finish'd whole survey'd, And found it good and wise.

2.

Ye sons of men his praise display,
Who stampt his image on your clay,
And gave it pow'r to move;
Where'er ye rove, where'er ye dwell,
From age to age successive tell

The wonders of His love!
