SHORT METRE.
E angels round the throne,
And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, praise the Son,
And bless the Spirit too.
AS THE 113th PSALM.
OW to the great and sacred Three.
The Father, Son, and Spirit be
Eternal praise and glory given,
Through all the worlds where God is known,
By all the angels near the throne,
And all the saints in earth and heaven.
AS THE 148th PSALM.
O God the Father's throne
Perpetual honours raise
Glory to God the Son :
To God the Spirit, praise;
With all our powers,
Eternal King,
Thy name we sing,
While faith adores.
OR, TABLE TO FIND A PSALM SUITED TO PARTICULAR SUBJECTS OR OCCASIONS.
Note. In this Table I have not directed to the several Parts or Metres of the Psalm, lest it should breed too great a con fusion of figures. What is sought in any Psalm may easily be found, by turning a leaf or two backward or forward to the distinct Parts or Metres.
If you find not what word you seek in this Table, seek another of the same signification; or seek it under some of the more general words, such as God, Christ, Church, Saints, Psalm, Prayer, Praise, Affliction, Grace, Deliverance, Death, &c.
