MONTGOMERY. 1 GOD is our refuge and defence, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our soul afraid? 2 Yea, though the earth's foundations rock, And mountains down the gulf be hurled, His people smile amid the shock, They look beyond this transient world. 3 There is a river pure and bright, Whose streams make glad the heavenly plains; Where, in eternity of light, The city of our God remains. 4 Built by the word of his command, Trust amid the Severities of God. 1 THOU Power supreme, whose mighty scheme Here, firm, I rest; they must be best, 2 Then all I want,-O do thou grant 412 636. 637.

H. M. DODDRIDGE. Faithfulness of God's Promise. 1 THE promises I sing, Which sovereign love hath spoke ; His words of grace revoke; They stand secure, Not Zion's hill And steadfast still; Abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away, When once the Judge appears, That measure mortal years; But still the same, The promise shines, In radiant lines, 1 SALVATION! O, the joyful sound! A sovereign balm for every wound, 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, 3 Salvation! let the echo fly 415 WATTS. 641. 8s. & 7s. M. Praise from Earth and Heaven.
