3 Nor all the peopled world alone, 4 Tempests and storms that sweep the sky, Volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, 5 Vast caverns deep, and cloud-topt hills, 6 Through all creation's widest range HYMN 203. L. P. M. God's government Zion's joy. E subjects of the Lord, proclaim "Jehovah reigns," be all your song, 'Tis he, thy God, O Zion, reigns; Prepare thy most harmonious strains, Glad hallelujahs to prolong. 2 Ye princes, boast no more your crown, 3 Tremble, ye pageants of a day, To everlasting years He reigns, JERVIS. When kings, and suns, and time shall end. 4 So shall his favour'd Zion live ; W HYMN 204. C. M. God no Respecter of persons. DODDRIDGE ITH eye impartial, heaven's high King No earthly pomp his eyes can charm, Nor wealth his favour bribe. 2 The rich and poor, of equal clay 3 Ye sons of men of high degree, 4 Trust in the Lord, ye humble poor, The God you serve will ne'er forsake The Bounty of Providence improved. NEEDHAM. FWho kindlest up the lamp of day; NATHER of lights! we sing thy name, Wide as he spreads his golden flame, Which through the hills, and through the meads, 3 Through the wide world thy bounties spread ; Yet millions of our guilty race, Though by thy daily bounty fed, 2 3 4 5 Thy glories round the earth are spread, When to thy works above I raise my wond'ring eyes, And see the moon, fair queen of night, When I survey the stars That fill the vaulted sky, Lord! what is man, that he should stand Or what the son of man, That thou should'st love him so Next to thine angels is he plac'd, Thine honours crown his head, While subject beasts obey; And birds that cut the air with wings, 6 How rich thy bounties are! And wond'rous are thy ways! Of dust and worms thy pow'r can frame A monument of praise. WATTS. HYMN 207. S. M. The heavenly Shepherd. WHILE God my Father's near, My Shepherd and my Guide, I bid farewell to anxious fear, My wants are all supply'd. 2 To ever fragrant meads, Where rich abundance grows, His gracious hand indulgent leads, And guards, my sweet repose. 3 Along the lovely scene, 4 Cool waters gently roll, And kind refreshment smiles serene, Here let my spirit rest: How sweet a lot is mine! With pleasure, food, and safety blest; Beneficence divinę! 5 Great Shepherd! if I stray, To thy fair pastures guide my way, MRS. STEELE. God's Condescension in becoming the Shepherd of Men. AND will the Majesty of Heav'n Accept us for his sheep; And with a shepherd's tender care 2 And will he spread his guardian arms And cause us gently to lie down 3 And will he lead our weary souls Where rivers of salvation flow 4. What thanks can mortal men repay Or how can tongues of feeble clay 5 Eternal God! how mean are we! Our souls, o'erwhelm'd with humble joy, T HYMN 209. L. M. Safety in public Diseases and Dangers. DODDRIDGE. HEY that have made their refuge God, Shall walk all day beneath his shade, God is their life; his wings are spread, T God the Protector of Innocence. HINE is the throne; beneath thy reign, Behold their dream of conquest o'er, And vanish, to be seen no more. |
