SCRIPTURE SELECTIONS.

1. PUBLIC WORSHIP.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, Most High:

To show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord, he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth unto all generations.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts!

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek

thee.

Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully :

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth.

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Thou wilt show me the path of life ; thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

2. PROVIDENCE OF GOD.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches.

The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

153

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled : thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

The day is thine, the night also is thine : thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and winter.

He watereth the hills from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord, and thy saints shall bless thee.

The Lord is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down ; the Lord loveth the righteous.

The Lord preserveth the stranger; he relieveth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live;

I will sing praise unto my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord.

Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

3. GRATITUDE AND TRUST.

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits;

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not

want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
