To his all-seeing eye;—
Not death, nor hell, my hope shall
While such a friend is nigh.

5 Thou shalt the paths of life display,
Which to thy presence lead;

move,

Where pleasures dwell without alloy,
And joys that never fade.

FIFTH PART. C. M.

Hope of the Resurrection.

1 I SET the Lord before my face,
He bears my courage up;

Dundee

My heart, my tongue, their joy express;
My flesh shall rest in hope.

mp 2 My spirit, Lord, thou wilt not leave
Where souls departed are:

Nor quit my body in the grave
To see corruption there.

mf 3 Thou wilt reveal the path of life,
And raise me to thy throne;

Thy courts immortal pleasure give;
Thy presence joys unknown.

FIRST PART. L. M. Newmarket.

Prospect of the Righteous and Wicked contrasted.
1 LORD, I am thine-but thou wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love;
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword-the hand is thine.

2 Their hope and portion lie below;
"Tis all the happiness they know;
'Tis all they seek they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs.

3 What sinners value, I resign;

Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine;
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.

P 4 This life's a dream-an empty show;
But that bright world to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere ;-
When shall I wake, and find me there?

5 O glorious hour!-O blest abode!
I shall be near, and like my God;
And flesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of my soul.

6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound:
Then burst the chains, with glad surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.

SECOND PART. S. M.

1 ARISE, my gracious God,
And make the wicked flee;
They are but thy chastizing rod
To drive thy saints to thee.

2 Behold the sinner dies

His haughty words are vain;
Here, in this life, his pleasure lies,
And all beyond is pain.

3 Then let his pride advance,
And boast of all his store;
The Lord is my inheritance-
My soul can wish no more.

4 I shall behold the face

Of my forgiving God;

Dover.

And stand complete in righteousness,
Washed in my Saviour's blood.

Danvers.

Strength and Protection from Jehovah.

1 WITH my whole heart, I'll love thy name,

Jehovah! thee my strength I claim;

My rock, my fortress, where I fly;
My great deliverer, always nigh.

mp 2 My God! thy names of grace impart
The strength that cheers my fainting heart:
In thee I trust-nor danger dread,
Thine arm the buckler o'er my head.

f

3 What can thy horn of power control,
Which wrought salvation for my soul?
Thou art the tower of my defence;
Nor earth, nor hell, shall pluck me thence.

4 Thou, gracious Lord, hast heard my cries;
Beyond our praise thy glories rise;
And still shall prayer my lips employ,
Till thou shalt every foe destroy.

SECOND PART. L. M.

Uxbridge.

mf 1 THEE will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tower, my high defence;
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.

P

2 Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptation rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. P 3 In my distress, I called my God,

When I could scarce believe him mine; He bowed his ear to my complaint, And proved his saving grace divine. mf 4 My song for ever shall record

That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord,
Due to his mercy and his power.

THIRD PART. L. M.

Alfreton.

111 LORD, thou hast seen my soul sincere, Hast made thy truth and love appear; Before mine eyes I set thy laws,

And thou hast owned my righteous cause. 2 What sore temptations broke my rest! What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through thy grace, that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin.

3 That sin, that close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will-
When shall thy Spirit's sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?

4 With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward:
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God more faithful, and more kind.
5 The just and pure shall ever say,
Thou art more pure, more just than they;
But men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.

FOURTH PART. L. M.

Appleton.

1 JUST are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode;

Who is a God, beside the Lord?

Or where's a refuge like our God?
2 Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield;
And while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.

3 He lives-and blessings crown his reign-
The God of my salvation lives;
The dark designs of hell are vain,

1

While heavenly peace my Father gives.

FIFTH PART. C. M. St. Martin's.

NO change of time shall ever shock
My trust, O Lord, in thee;

For thou hast always been my rock,-
A sure defence to me.

2 Thou our deliverer art, O God;
Our trust is in thy power;

Thou art our shield from foes abroad,
Our safeguard, and our tower.

mp 3 To thee will we address our prayer,
To whom all praise we owe;
So shall we, by thy watchful care,
Be saved from every foe.

On whom our hopes depend;
For who, except the mighty Lord,
His people can defend.

SIXTH PART. C. M.

London.

Jehovah coming to reign.

1 THE Lord descended from above,
And bowed the heavens most high,
And underneath his feet he cast
The darkness of the sky.

2 On cherubim and seraphim
Full royally he rode,

And on the wings of mighty winds,
Came flying all abroad.

3 He sat serene upon the floods,
Their fury to restrain;

And he, as sovereign Lord and King,
For evermore shall reign.

SEVENTH PART. 8s. & 7s.

1 LO! the Lord Jehovah liveth!
He's my rock, I bless his name:
He, my God, salvation giveth;
All ye lands, exalt his fame.

Suffolk.

2 God, Messiah's cause maintaining,
Shall his righteous throne extend:
O'er the world the Saviour reigning,
Earth shall at his footstool bend.

3 O'er his enemies exalted,

Great Redeemer!-see him rise!
Though by powers of hell assaulted,
God supports him to the skies.

4 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There forever to abide;

All the heavenly host adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.
