PSALMS.

1. FIRST PART. C. M. TATE & BRADY. The Righteous and the Wicked.

1 HOW blest is he, who ne'er consents
By ill advice to walk;

Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor sits
Where men profanely talk:

2 But makes the perfect law of God
His business and delight;
Devoutly reads therein by day,

And meditates by night,

3 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams
With timely fruit does bend,
He still shall flourish, and success
All his designs attend.

4 Ungodly men, and their attempts,
No lasting root shall find;
Untimely blasted, and dispersed,
Like chaff before the wind.

5 For God approves the just man's ways;
To happiness they tend;

1.

But sinners, and the paths they tread,
Shall both in ruin end.

SECOND PART. C. M. WATTS.

1 BLEST is the man, who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet;

Who fears to tread their wicked ways;
And hates the scoffer's seat:-

2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day, he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.

3 He, like a plant of generous kind,
By living waters set,

Safe from the storm and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.

4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear,
Like clusters on the vine.

5 Not so the impious and unjust:-
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff, before the storm.

6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand,
Among the sons of grace

When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand Appoints his saints a place.

1. THIRD PART. S. M. WATTS. 1 THE man is ever blest,

Who shuns the sinner's ways;
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:-

2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day
And watches of the night.

3 He, like a tree, shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit.

4 Not so th' ungodly race;

2.

They no such blessings find:

Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.

C. M. TATE & BRADY.

Christ exalted and his enemies warned. 1 ATTEND, O earth, when God declares His uncontrolled decree:

"Thou art my Son-this day, my heir, Have I begotten thee.

and

2 "Ask-and receive thy full demands-
Thine shall the heathen be;
The utmost limits of the lands
Shall be possessed by thee."

3 Learn, then, ye princes-and give ear,
Ye judges of the earth;

3.

Worship the Lord with holy fear,
Rejoice with awful mirth.

C. M. TATE & BRADY.

God our defence. Morning.

1 THOU, gracious Lord, art our defence;
On thee our hopes rely;

Thou art our glory, and shalt yet
Lift up our heads on high.

2 Guarded by him, we laid us down,
Our sweet repose to take;

For we through him securely sleep,
Through him in safety wake.

3 Salvation to the Lord belongs;
He only can defend;

His blessings he extends to all,
That on his power depend.

4. FIRST PART. L. M. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS.
True Riches.

1 AMIDST unsatisfied desires,
Or trouble's overwhelming flood,
Eager the doubting heart inquires,
O who will show us any good?

2 But happy they who serve the Lord,
And in his holy name believe;
They know, from his all-gracious word,
That he will every want relieve.
3 When humbly offering at his shrine
The grateful homage of the heart,
The Lord will hear, and grace divine
In rich and copious streams impart.
4 Worldlings, who wealth and honours love,
Full many a weary vigil keep;

But he whose treasure is above,
Shall rest secure, and sweetly sleep.

4. SECOND PART. C. M. WATTS.

Rest and Peace in God.

1 LORD, Thou wilt hear us when we pray;
We are for ever thine:
We fear before thee all the day,
Nor would we dare to sin.

2 And while we rest our weary heads,
From care and business free,
'Tis sweet conversing on our beds
With our own hearts and thee.

3 We pay this evening sacrifice;
And when our work is done,
Great God, our faith, our hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.

4 Thus, with our thoughts composed to peace. We'll give our eyes to sleep;

5.

Thy hand in safety keeps our days,
And will our slumbers keep.

FIRST PART. C. M. WATTS.
Communion with God. Morning.

1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear
Our voice ascending high;

To thee we will direct our prayer,
To thee lift up our eye.

2 Thou art a God, before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand:
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.

3 But to thy house will we resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
We will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.

4 O may thy Spirit guide our feet
In ways of righteousness!
Make every path of duty straight
And plain before our face.

5 The men, who love and fear thy name,
Shall see their hopes fulfilled;

The mighty God will compass them
With favour as a shield
