PSALM 133. C. M. Hymn 2d. St. Ann's. [*] 1 'L Brotherly Love. O, what an entertaining sight, Brethren whose cheerful hearts unite, In bands of piety! b 2 When streams of love from Christ the spring, Descend to every soul, And heavenly peace, with balmy wing, 3 'Tis like the oil, divinely sweet, The trickling drops perfumed his feet, o 4 'Tis pleasant as the morning dews, Where God his mildest glory shews, b 1 grace S. M. Peckham. [*] Union and Peace. Bwhose hearts and hopes are one; OLEST are the sons of peace, Whose kind designs to serve and please, 2 Blest is the pious house, Where zeal and friendship meet; Their songs of praise, their mingled vows Make their communion sweet. 3 Thus, when on Aaron's head, • 4 Thus on the heavenly hills, P. M. Dalston. [*] The Blessings of Friendship. HOW Each in their proper station move ;— With sympathizing heart, In all the cares of life and love! 2 'Tis like the ointment, shed Ran through his robes, and blest his feet. Descending from the neighbouring hills; Through every friendly soul, Where love like heavenly dew distils. 1 PSALM 134. C. M. Devizes. [*] Daily and Nightly Devotion. YE who obey th' immortal King, Attend his holy place; e Bow to the glories of his power, And bless his wondrous grace. o 2 Lift up your hands by morning light, And send your souls on high; o Raise your admiring thoughts by night, Above the starry sky. o 3 The God of Zion cheers our hearts, With rays of quickening grace; g The God who spread the heavens abroad, And rules the swelling seas. PSALM 135. L.M. FIRST PART. All-Saints.[*] 1 Ye saints, who to his house belong, Or stand attending at his gate. 2 Praise ye the Lord; the Lord is good; To praise his name is sweet employ; Israel he chose of old, and still His church is his peculiar joy. • 3 The Lord himself will judge his saints; He treats his servants as his friends: And, when he hears their sore complaints, o 4 Through every age, the Lord declares L. M. SECOND PART. Psalm 97th. Blendon:[] 1 GREAT is the Lord, exalted high, Above all powers and every throne; a 3 'Twas he those dreadful tokens sent, • 4 What mighty nations, mighty kings, g 5 His power the same, the same his grace, 1 C. M. Hartford. [*] Praise due to God, not to Idols. A Your sweetest passions raise; WAKE, ye saints, to praise your King, Your pious pleasure, while you sing, • 2 Great is the Lord; and works unknown e But still his saints are near his throne, His treasure and his joy. g 3 Heaven, earth, and sea confess his hand; Lightning and storm, at his command, 4 All power, that kings or gods have claimed, Is found with him alone: • But heathen gods should ne'er be named, e 5 Which of the stocks or stones they trust, d 6 [Their gods have tongues that cannot talk, Their feet were ne'er designed to walk, 7 Blind are their eyes; their ears are deaf, PSALM 136. C. M. Mear. [*] 1G His mercies still endure; IVE thanks to God, the sovereign Lord: And be the King of kings adored; 2 What wonders hath his wisdom done' Heaven, earth, and sea he framed alone : 3 The sun supplies the day with light: 4 (He struck the sons of Egypt dead d And thence with joy his people led: 5 He cleft the swelling sea in two; And gave the tribes a passage through; 6 But Pharaoh's army there he drowned; And brought his saints through desert ground; Eternal be his praise. 7 Great monarchs fell beneath his hand; While Israel took the promised land: 8 He saw the nations dead in sin; How sad the state the world was in ' 9 He sent to save us from our woe; 10 Give thanks to God, the heavenly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth his praises sing; His truth is ever sure.] PSALM 136. P. M. Allerton. [*] Praise for Divine Perfections and Works. 1G The universal Lord; The sovereign King of kings; His power and grace Have endless praise. -2 How mighty is his hand! d |
