3 Their daily delight fhall be in thy name, They fhall as their right thy righteousness claim; Thy righteoufnefs wearing, and cleans'd by thy blood,

Bold fhall they appear in the prefence of God.

4 For thou art their boaft, their glory and power;
And I also trust to see the glad hour,

My foul's new creation, a life from the dead,
The day of falvation, that lifts up my head.

5 For Jefus my Lord is now my defence;

I truft in his word, none plucks me from thence; Since I have found favour, he all things will do, My King and my Saviour fhall make me anew.

6 Yes, Lord, I fhall fee the blifs of thy own,
Thy fecret to me shall foon be made known;
For forrow and fadness I joy fhall receive,
And share in the gladness of all that believe.

HYMN XCVI.

The Praife of Wifdem. Prov. viii.

H

APPY the man that finds the grace,
The bleffings of God's chofen race,
The wifdom coming from above,

The faith that fweetly works by love.

2 Happy beyond defcription he

Who knows the Saviour dy'd for me,
The gift unfpeakable obtains,
And heav'nly understanding gains.

3 Wisdom divine! who tells the price
Of wifdom's coftly merchandise!
Wisdom to filver we prefer,
And gold is drofs compar'd to her.

4 Her hands are fill'd with length of days,
True riches and immortal praise;
Riches of Christ on all bestow'd,
And honour, that defcends from God.

5 To pureft joys fhe all invites,
Chafte, holy, fpiritual delights;
Her ways are ways of pleafantness,
And all her flowery paths are peace.

6 Happy the man who wisdom gains;
Thrice happy who his guest retains:
He owns, and fhall for ever own,
Wisdom, and Christ, and heav'n are one.

We dedicate and give,

The off'ring, Lord, receive.

As Lord and God alone.

To fpread thy truth abroad;

May know that thou art God.

And love thy holy name.
