4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Though mountains melt away;
Thy judgments are a world unknown,
A deep unfathom'd sea.

5 Above these heaven's created rounds,

Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds,
Where time and nature end..
6 Safety to man thy goodness brings,
Nor overlooks the beast:
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy children choose to rest.
7 [From thee, when creature streams run
And mortal comforts die, [low,
Perpetual springs of life shall flow,
And raise our pleasures high.

3 Though all created light decay,
And death close up our eyes,
Thy presence makes eternal day,
Where clouds can never rise.]
PSALM 103. 2d Part. S. M. *
Dover, Pelham.
Compassion of God.
Y soul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.

2 God will not always chide;

And when his strokes are felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are rais'd Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins, And his forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt-remove. 5 The pity of the Lord

To those that fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 He knows we are but dust, Scatter'd by every breath His anger, like a rising wind, Can send us swift to death. Our days are as the grass, Or like the, morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour.

8 But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure;

And children's children ever find

Thy words of promise sure.

HYMN 46. B.2. L.M.
Portugal, Truro, Dunstan.
Condescension of God.

to the Lord, who reigns on high, And views the nations from afar,

Let everlasting praises fly,

And tell how large his bounties are. 2[He that can shake the worlds he made, Or with his word, or with his rod; His goodness, how amazing great! And what a condescending God! 3God, that must stoop to view the skies, And bow to see what angels do, Down to the earth he casts his eyes, And bends his footsteps downward too.] 4 He overrules all mortal things, And manages our mean affairs: On humble souls the King of kings Bestows his counsels, and his cares. 5 Our sorrows and our tears we pour Into the bosom of our God;

He hears us in the mournful hour, And helps to bear the heavy load. 6 In vain might lofty princes try Such condescension to perform; For worms were never rais'd so high Above their meanest fellow worm. 70! could our thankful hearts devise A tribute equal to thy grace, To the third heaven our songs should rise, And teach the golden harps thy praise.

2[Ten thousand ages ere the skies
Were into motion brought,
All the long years and worlds to come
Stood present to his thought.

3 There's not a sparrow nor a worm
But's found in his decrees;
He raises monarchs to their thrones,
And sinks them as he please..]
41f light attend the course I run,
'Tis he provides those rays;
And 'tis his hand that hides wy sun,
If darkness cloud my days.

Yet I would not be much concern'd,
Nor vainly long to see
The volumes of his deep decrees,
What months are writ for me.
When he reveals the book of life,
O, may I read my name
Among the chosen of his love,
The followers of the Lamb.

HYMN 67. B. 2. C. M. Stade, Abridge, Bedford.. Dominion and immutability of God.

GREAT God! how infinite art thou!

What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to thee.
2 Thy throne eternal ages stood,

Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.
3 Nature and time quite naked lie
To thine immense survey,
From the formation of the sky,
To the great burning day.

4 Eternity, with all its years,
Stands present in thy view;
To thee there's nothing old appears-
Great God! there's nothing new.

5 Our lives through various scenes are
And vex'd with trifling cares! [drawn,
While thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturb'd affairs.

6 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we!

Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.

The world, created by his hands,
Still on its first foundation stands.
2 But ere this spacious world was made,
Or had its first foundation laid,
Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Thyself the Ever-living God.
3. Like floods the angry nations rise,
And aim their rage against the skies;
Vain floods, that aim their rage so high.!
At thy rebuke the billows die.

4 Forever shall thy throne endure:
Thy promise stands forever sure;
And everlasting holiness
Becomes the dwellings of thy grace.

PSALM 93. P. M.

Old 50th. or Landaff, Cherriton.
Dominion of God.

1 THE Lord of glory reigns, he reigns on high:
His robes of state are strength and majesty.
This wide creation rose at his command,
Built by his word and 'stablish'd by his hand.
Long stood his throne ere he began creation,
And his own Godhead is the firm foundation.
2 God is th' Eternal King: Thy foes in vain
Raise their rebellion to confound thy reign.
In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise,
And roar, and toss their waves against the skis:
Foaming at heaven, they rage with wild commotion,
But heaven's high arches scorn the swelling occau
3 Ye tempests, rage no more; ye floods, be still!
And the mad world submissive to his will:
Built on his truth, his church must ever stand,
Firm. are his promises and strong his hand.
See his own sons, when they appear before him,
Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him.

> PSALM 93. 2d Part. P. M. X Dalston, St. Giles.

THE

HHE Lord Jehovah reigns,
And royal state maintains,
His head with awful glories crown'd;
Array'd in robes of light,
Begirt with sovereign might,

And rays of majesty around.
Upheld by thy commands,
And skies and stars obey thy word;
The world securely stands;

Thy throne was fix'd on high,
Before the starry sky;
Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord.
In vain the noisy crowd,

Like billows fierce and loud, Against thine empire rage and roars In vain, with angry spite,

The surly nations fight,

And dash like waves against the shore.. 4 Let floods and nations rage,

And all their powers engage: Let swelling tides assault the sky
