PSALM CIII. 1-4, 13—17.

-

1 BLESS the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
within me,
- bless..his | ho..ly | name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and for- get.. not all.. his | benefits.

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

who heal..eth | all.. thy dis-eases: 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee

with | kindness..and | ten..der | mercies.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

so the Lord pitieth | them.. that | fear

14 For he knoweth our frame ;

=

he re-membereth.. that | we..are | dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass

[ him.

as a flower.. of the | field,.. so he | flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone,

S17

and the place there- | of.. shall I know it..no | more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to ever-lasting.. on | those.. that | fear him;

"And his righteousness unto | chil.. dren's | chil-= |dren.

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

OUR Father, who art in heaven,

hallow..ed | be.. thy | name,

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done, ·

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive them.. that | trespass.. a- [gainst us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but de-liv..er | us.. from | evil: ·

For thine is the kingdom,

[ocr errors]

and the power, and the glory, for- | ev.. er. | A-men.

BLESSED is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the un- godly,

nor sitteth in the seat of the | scornful.
But his delight is the law of the | Lord;
And in his law doth he meditate day and

night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of that bringeth forth fruit in his | season;

[ocr errors]

water,
His leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall | prosper.

The ungodly are not so:- but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth a- [way:

The ungodly shall not stand in judgment,

SYM.

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous:

CH. 15. For the Lord knoweth the way of.. the righteous, ·S CH. 16. But the way of the un | godly..shall | perish.

[blocks in formation]

CH. 15. 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 de- | light, -
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.

3 He, like a tree, shall thrive,

With waters near the root;

His name fresh as the leaf shall live;
His works are heavenly | fruit.

CH. 16. 4 Not so th' ungodly race; -
They no such blessings | find: -
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving | wind.

HUMBLE DEVOTION.

FROM the recesses of a lowly spirit,
Our humble prayer ascends,

[ocr errors]

BOWRING.

O| Fa.. ther, I hear it;Borne on the trembling wings of fear..and meekness; For- give..its | weakness.

We know - we feel how mean, and how unworthy
The lowly sacrifice we | pour.. be- | fore thee;

What can we offer thee,

[ocr errors]

Othou.. most | holy!
But sin..and | folly ?

We see thy hand - it leads us
We hear thy voice

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

it supports us:it | counsels,.. and it | courts us; — And then we turn away!- yet | still..thy | kindness For- gives.. our | blindness

Who can resist thy gentle call,- appealing
To every generous thought, and I grate..ful | feeling?
O, who can hear the accents | of.. thy | mercy,

1

And I nev..er love thee?

Kind Benefactor!-plant within this bosom
The seeds.. of | holiness, -
In fragrance,

[ocr errors]

and let them blossom
and in beauty bright..and | vernal,
And spring..e- | ternal.

Then place them in those everlasting gardens

L

Where angels walk, and | seraphs.. are the wardens; Where every flower,- brought safe through | death's.. dark! Be- comes.. im- | mortal

1 OUR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, | last.. fare- | well,

A Comforter, -a Guide,.. be- 1 queathed

Soft as the breeze.. of | even,

That checks each fault, that I calms..each | fear,
And speaks.. of heaven.

LORD God of Israel,

in heaven above,

DEDICATION.

[From 1 Kings viii.]

there is no other God like thee, or in earth.. be- | neath;

Who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee.. with | all.. their hearts;And hast fulfilled it with thine | hand.. as it is.. this day.

Behold, the heaven and heaven of

heavens cannot.. con- | tain thee;

How much less this | house.. that | we..have | builded? Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servants, and to their suppli- | cations, ..O| Lord..our | God. Hearken unto the cry,· and to the prayer

which thy servants pray be- |fore thee.. this | day; That thine eyes may be opened towards this house = night.. and day,

Even toward the place of which thou hast said, "MY | NAME,

-

MY NAME..SHALL BE | THERE.”

Hearken thou to the supplications of thy servants
when they shall I pray.. toward this place;
And hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling-place;
and when.. thou | hearest,.. for- [ give;

And, justifying the righteous,

do thou give them ac- cord.. ing | to.. their | righteous

ness.

HOLY, holy, holy Lord

God of Hosts!-when heaven and earth,

Out of darkness, at thy word
Issued into glo.. rious | birth;

All thy works around thee stood,
And thine eye beheld them | good.
While they sang, with sweet accord,
"Ho..ly, ho.. ly,

Holy, holy, holy! - Thee,
Our Jehovah evermore,

ho..ly | Lord."

Father, Son, and Spirit!-we,

1

Dust and ashes, would.. a- | dore:-
Lightly by the world esteemed,

From that world by thee re- deemed,
Sing we here with glad accord,

"Ho..ly, ho..ly, ho..ly | Lord."

"Holy, holy, holy,"

[blocks in formation]

Heaven's triumphant choir shall sing;.
While the ransomed nations fall
At the footstool.. of their | King:-
Then shall saints and seraphim,
Harps and voices, swell one | hymn, -
Blending, in sublime accord,

"Ho..ly, ho.. ly, | ho..ly | Lord."
