Firm as the earth, whose shores endure The eternal toil of ocean.

And Thou with perfect peace wilt bless Thy faithful flock;-for holiness Becomes thine house for ever.

PSALM XCV.

O COME, let us sing to the Lord,
In God our salvation rejoice;
In psalms of thanksgiving record

His praise, with one spirit, one voice : For Jehovah is King, and He reigns,

The God of all gods, on his throne; The strength of the hills He maintains, The ends of the earth are his own.

The sea is Jehovah's ;—He made
The tide its dominion to know;

The land is Jehovah's ;-He laid
It's solid foundations below:

O come let us worship, and kneel
Before our Creator, our God;

-The people who serve him with zeal,
-The flock whom He guides with his rod.

As Moses, the fathers of old,

Through the sea and the wilderness led,

His wonderful works we behold,

With manna from heaven are fed:

To-day, let us hearken, to-day,

To the voice that yet speaks from above,

And all his commandments obey,

For all his commandments are love.

His wrath let us fear to provoke,
To dwell in his favour unite;
His service is freedom, his yoke
Is easy, his burden is light:

But, oh! of rebellion beware,
Rebellion, that hardens the breast,
Lest God in his anger should swear

BE joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth, O serve Him with gladness and fear; Exult in his presence with music and mirth, With love and devotion draw near.

For Jehovah is God,-and Jehovah alone,

Creator and ruler o'er all;

And we are his people, his sceptre we own; His sheep, and we follow his call.

O enter his gates with thanksgiving and song, Your vows in his temple proclaim ;

His praise with melodious accordance proAnd bless his adorable name.

[long,

For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,
And we are the work of his hand;
His mercy and truth from eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand.

PSALM CIII.

O MY Soul, with all thy powers,
Bless the Lord's most holy name;
O my soul, till life's last hours,
Bless the Lord, his praise proclaim;
Thine infirmities He heal'd;
He thy peace and pardon seal'd.

He with loving-kindness crown'd thee,
Satisfied thy mouth with good;

From the snares of death unbound thee,
Eagle-like thy youth renew'd:
Rich in tender mercy He,

Slow to wrath, to favour free.

He will not retain displeasure,
Though awhile He hide his face;
Nor his God-like bounty measure
By our merit, but his grace;

As the heaven the earth transcends,
Over us his care extends.

Far as east and west are parted,
He our sins hath sever'd thus ;
As a father loving-hearted

Spares his son, He spareth us ;
For he knows our feeble frame,
He remembers whence we came.

Mark the field-flower where it groweth, Frail and beautiful;—anon,
