PREFACE.
--

‘ Tue highest authority can he produced for that

part of our Divine Worship—that part of the
Communion of Saiuts-Fwhich consists in the
singing of the praises ofGon.
Not only has the Jewish Temple, but the Chris
tian Church in all ages,resounded with the melody
of the children of’ Zion, when joyful in their King.
Our blessed SAvxoun gave this practice the
sanction of His personal example, in the upper
chamber at Jerusalem. It was not till they “ had
sung an Hymn," says the Evangelist (Matt. xxvi.
30), that the Lord and His disciples, after the
solemnity ofthe Last Supper, went to the Mount
of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane.
in a remarkable passage of one of the Epistles
of Pliny- the Younger, addressed to the Emperor
‘l’rajuu, and written about A. D. 106, we have an
uucxceptionable witness to its being a practice in
the Christian assemblies ofAsia .vlinor, to sing
Hymns to Christ, with an explicit acknowledg
ment of His glorious Godhead. The passage will
be found on our title page. How wonderful, that
the Bithynian Proconsul should have raised a pillar‘
with such an acknowledgment to the Deity of
Cantsr, and the faith and joys of His people !
 6

When Christianity, after a long and settled

night of ignorance, again rose on the world with
healing hczuns in the sixteenth century, we find
this part of divine worship restored to its purity
and simplicity.
The following is amongst the “ Instructions to
the Clergy," in England, in Queen Elizabeth’s
reign, 1559, published in Sparrow’s Coll. Art.
Con. 1684. “ It has been further permitted, that
there nuly be sung a Hymn, or such like aong to
the praise ofAlmighty God, in the best method
and music that may be conveniently devised, had
ing respect that the sentence (sense) ofthe Hymn
may be understood and perceived."
The practice has been continued in the Churches,
to the present day; and will be continued, no
doubt, to the end of time, whilst the Saviour has
a Church upon the earth. Nor is it unknown in
a better world. There, where all things are per
fect, this holy exercise of joy is found in its per
fection. As the old couplet from Waller, quoted
in one of Lady Rachel Russell’s letters, speaks;
We know not what they do above,
But that they sing, and that they love.
What nearer representation can be found upon
earth to those harps and hymns of the Book ofthe
Revelation, than an assembly of the Loan’s people,
vocally and cordially uniting in His praise within
His courts upon earth!
The power of music upon the feelings is too well
known to need illustration. It has been said that
one may determine the character of a people by
the character of their national airs. How impor
taut then may be the help rendered by such an aid
to_the cause of Religion, when rightly directed to
the promotion of truly devotional feelings—~wheu
 7

ttled the music is made subservient to the words, and

with not the words to the music—when we “ sing with
find the spirit and with the understanding also" (1 Cor.
Jrity xiv.)—when the object is, not to gratify the ear,
but to exercise the affections of the heart and the
is to powers of the understanding. and all the sympa
:th 3 thies of the soul, in the worship of Gon our SAVI
Art. OUR. .
Illa! As the Israelites turned the landof Canaan and
7 £0 much that belonged to the enemies of God therein,
‘Izod to consecrated use—so the Church of Cums’!
imi turns the often desecruted powers of music to her
ymn own hallowed purposes. We may thus innocently
take our instrumental music from Jubal (Gen. iv.)
hes, as well as our morning and evening Hymns frolr
no Paradise. ‘
has God‘s word contains some remarkable illustra
1 in tions of the power of sacred minstrelsy. Both it
>er the Old and New Testaments we find a witnes:
Ier to its soothing and inspiring effects.
ted In 2 Sam. xvi. ‘23, we have an instance of thi:
sort.-“ It came to pass," says the sacred pcnman
_“ when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul
that David took an harp, and played with hi
hand ; so that Saul was refreshed and was well
1o11
and the evil spirit departedfrom him." To how
:he
many have the strains of the son of Jesse, thr
>19,
sweet Psalmist of lsrael, “ charming so wisely"—
1in
even in the wisdom of the Spirit of God—prover
an antidote, and in a better sort, to evil thought
e11
and cold affections!
at
Another remarkable instance of the power c
r
music to tranquillize the mind occurs in 2 King
id
iii. 15. The Prophet Elisha, greatly moved witl
holy indignation at the presence and the wicked
to
ness of the King of Israel, yet prompted to revea
 8

the mind of God to Jehoshaphat the King of

Judah, sought to bring his own mind in frame for
the divine communications of the blessed Spirit of
all peace, by this soothing power—“ Bring me a
minstrel ; and it came to pass, when the minstrel
played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him."
How did Paul and Silas seek to comfort their
hearts in the prison at Philippi, and whilst snfi‘er
ing so much bodily pain from the “ many stripes"
_ they had received ? We are told in Acts xvi. 25,
“ At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung
praises unto God ; and the prisoners heard
them."
To come to later times--what was the experi'
ence of that noble army of Reformers by whom
God effected such wonderful changes three cen
turies ago ? We know that, like the first Founders
of the Christian Church, they had many troubles,
and needed all the help of every means of grace.
They have not only strongly commended sacred
minstrelsy to us, but themselves richly experienc
ed its benefits. When Melancthon once came in
great despondency to Luther, “ Come Philip,"
said his stronger brother-“ Come, let us sing the
Forty Sixth Psalm, and let earth and hell do their
worst."
The New Testament Scriptures seem to make
mention of different kinds of singing—and the
inspired Book of Psalms corresponds with this
arrangement.
1. There is the Hymn of pure praise to God,
into which nothing but thanksgiving enters. Of
this we have a specimen in the 150th Psalm, and
some others of the Psalms at the end of the Book, of
which Bishop Horne says,that they seem intended
rather for the devotions of the Church Triumphant
 9

than of the Church Militant. The Hymn of Paul

and Silas was perhaps of this character---“ They
sang God’s praises ;”-and such are the Hymns
in the Book of the Revelation.
2. There is the Hymn of mingled Prayer,
Confession and Praise. Of this also we have
examples in the Book of Psalms. It was the
custom at the conclusion of the Paschal feast
amongst the Jews, to sing the 113th, 114th, 115th,
116th, 117th and 118th Psalms, and it has been
supposed, that these,_at least in part, were the
Hymn alluded to in Matt. xxvi. 30. They are an
example of this varied description of Hymn.
3. There is the Hymn for private use. In
Ephesians v.19, we meet with the exhortation.
“ Be filled with the Spirit ; speaking to yourselves
in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your hearts to the Lord."
The 42d and 103d Psalms will afford examples of
this kind of HymnJ-where the believer argues
with himself, and animates himself to God’s praise.
Under this head also comes the exhortation of St.
James, speaking of private experience (v. 13.)
“ Is any merry—let him sing psalms."
4. There is the Hymn of mutual exhortation.
This is, as it were, the martial music of the
Church ; by which her embattled hosts encourage
and animate each other in their holy warfare,
whilst they sing the praises of their common
Leader. Thus St. Paul writes in Coloss. iii. 16.
“ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another
in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing
with race in your hearts to the Lord.” The
34th salm may be mentioned as an instance of
this sort of Hymn.
 10

May the great H end of the Church acknowledge

and bless this attempt to promote His glory .and
the happiness of His beloved people ! May it
serve to alleviate their sorrows, and increase their
joy in the Low !

PSALM in. c. M.
The Church represents her sorrows ; and expresses her trust
‘in the salvation of the Loan.
’ WHEN to the Loan I told my grief,
His car He ever lent ;
And from His holy hill relief
He quickly to me sent.-
I laid me down, and I was kept
Until the morning broke,
For 1 through Thee securely slept,
Through Thee in safety woke.
Ten thousand may beset me round,
1 will not yield to fear;
Ten thousand shall be weakness found,
It‘ Thou my Gon art near.
Thou art SALVATION to our race,
The one enduring rest ;
Thy people all shall know Thy grace,
And evermore be bless’d.
PSALM IV. C. M.
The Church prays for help to Goo—reasons with the
wnrld—-and claims the Lonn’s favour us her portion
and huppiness.
O HEAR, Gon of my righteousness,
And mercy have on me ;
For when my soul was in distress,
It was enlarg’d by Thee.

To Gon in grateful sacrifice

Bring what is good and just;
And to Jssovsu turn your eyes,
And make Hm all your trust.
While many say, “ Oh ! who will shew,
Some still more wealthy place ?”
Loan, lift on us—Jtis joy to know
The brightness'of Thy face.
PSALM V. C. M.
Prayers for gra0s and help in time of need; and Trust ‘in
the Lonn’s mercies.
IN Thine own Righteousness instruct
My soul, O Loan, that knows
The path to bliss, if Thou conduct
To conquest o’er my foes.
Loan, let all those whose trust Thou art
In Thee rejoice, and make
All those to shout for joy, whose heart
Thy NAME for aid shall take.
For Thou unto the righteous wilt,
O Loan, Thy blessing yield,
And guard the hope upon Tums built
With grace as with a shield.
PSALM VI. C. M.
The Church expresses a godly sorrow which worketh true
repentance,- and by faith triumphs over all enemies.
RETURN and save my soul, O Loan,
And set my conscience free ;
Think of the mercies of Thy word;
For their sake succour me.
For none can think on Thee in death,
If here unknown Thy ways;
And in the grave what human breath
Can learn to speak Thy praise?

Norm—For another version of Psalm V. v. Arrssmx.

 PSALM VIII. 3

All ye in evil who rejoice,

Away! from me depart!
The Loan has given my tears a voice,
And heal’d my broken heart.

PSALM VIH. C. M.
The original glory of the human nature in thafirst Adam,
and its recovered glory in the Lone JESUS Cums-r.
‘ O Loan our Gon, how excellent
In all the earth Thy name !
Thy glory fills the firmament,
And far outshines its frame 1
2 Thou givest to the infant tongue
A more than human skill;
And taught by Thee the child is strong
Thy raging foe to still.
8 When I regard Thy heavens high,
Wrought by Thy skilful hand—
The moon—the stars that gem the sky—
All in Thy wisdom plann’d ;
4 O what is man that he should be
‘ The subject of Thy thought ?
And what the son of man that he
Should never be forgot ?
5 Lower at first than angels plac’d
Thyself he entertains
Then with a crown of glory grac’d,
The height of honour gains.
6 Thou givest him dominion great
O’er all which Thou hast made;
And at his feet all creatures wait,—
His will like Thine obey’d.
7 The fold, the stall, the forest, yield
Their tenants to his sway;

Norm—For a version of Psalm VI. v. Arrmmrx

B 2
4 - PSALMS 111. ANn 111.

The fish that roams the ocean field

And birds on wing obey.
8 O Loan our Gon, how excellent
In all the earth Thy name!
Thy glory fills the firmament,
And far outshines its frame !
PSALM IX. C. M.
The past and future victories of the Church over all her
enemies through her (ion and Rl--nsnman.
Loan, in the fulness of my heart
Thy praise I will proclaim ;
Thy wondrous works shall joy impart,
Whilst I shew forth Thy name.
JenovsH will a refuge be
For those who are oppress’d—
A refuge in their troubles He,
Where no one can molest.
And they, O Loan, who know Thy name,
Shall still on Thee rely;
For Thou hast never put to shame
Those who to Thee draw nigh.
O praises to the Loan ascribe
In Zion His abode;
Proclaim His deeds, till every tribe
Confess no other Gon.
PSALM XI. C. M.
The‘Church exercisesfuith in (ion amidst many troubles.
JenoVAH will my succonr bring
And all my hope fulfil;
Why bid my soul on timid wing
To fly to yonder hill ?
Fear not ;-the Loan His temple keeps ;
Unmov’d His throne remains ;

From them that godly live.

Gen. i. 31.
LET heav’n arise, let earth appear,
Said the Almighty Loan :
The heav’n arose, the earth appear’d,
At His creating word.
Thick darkness brooded o’er the deep ;
Gon said, “ Let there be light :"
The light shone forth with smiling ray,
And scatter’d ancient night.
Then chief o’er all His works below
At last was Adam made ;
His Maker’s image bless’d his soul,
And glory crown’d his head.
Fair in th’ Almighty Maker’s eye
The whole creation stood :
He view’d the fabric He had rais’d—
His word pronounc’d it good.

Cool shadows round thy steps by day ;
And warm the oillared fire descends,

With healing in His wings;

Their wonted fruit shall bear ;—

Nor flocks nor herds be there :
Yet Gon the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For, while in Him confiding,

And scourges each son he receives ;
But in chast’ning their true good He hastens,
And though He rebukes, never leaves.
By trials He humbles and proves them,
To make them conform to their King;
But He still to the end dearly loves them,
And to glory eternal will bring.

He may for a time seem to frown ;
Yet He’s faithful, and will not deceive us—

HYMN CCCCLV. L. M.
“ Wherefore didst thou. doubt 4”’ Matt. xiv. 31.
WneN darkness long has veil’d my mind,
And smiling day once more appears ;
I
l‘hen, my Redeemer, then I find,
The folly of my doubts and fears.
Oh ! let me then at length be taught,
What I am still so slow to learn—
’l‘hat Gon is love, and changes not,
Nor knows the shadow of a turn.
Sweet truth, and easy to repeat !
But when my faith is sharply tried,
I find myself a learner yet,
Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide.
But, 0 my Loan, one look from Thee
Subdues the disobedient will—
Drives doubt and discontent away;
And Thy rebellious worm is still.
HYMN CCCCLVI. P. M.
Such an High Priest became us.” Heb. vii. 26.
Warm gathering clouds around I view,
And days are dark, and friends are few,
On Him I lean, who not in vain ‘
Experienc’d every human pain;
He sees my griefs, allays my fears,
And counts and treasures up my tears.
If aught should tempt my soul to stray
From heav’nly wisdom’s narrow way,
To fly the good I would pursue,
Or do the thing 1 would not do—
Still He who felt temptation’s pow’r,
Shall guard me in that dang’rous hour.
‘ And oh! when I have safely past
Through every conflict but the last,
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My painful bed,—for Thou hast died;

HYMN CCCCLVII. P. M. 7’s.
“ 1 press toward the mark," 851‘. Phil. iii. 14.
WHEN, my SAVIOUR, shall i be
Perfectly resign’d to Thee ?
Poor and vile in mine own eyes,
Only in Thy wisdom wise ?
Only Thee content to know,
ignorant of all below—
Only guided by Thy light—
Only mighty in Thy might ?
Fully in my life express
All the heights of holiness:
Sweetly let my spirit prove
All the depths of humble love !
HYMN CCCCLVIII. P. M.
“ lam the bright and morning star.” Rev. xxii. 16.
‘VHEN passing through the vale of tears,
Why should I yield to griet’s and fears ?
Behold a light the desert cheers
The bright and Morning Star.
2 And who is He amidst the gloom,
Who comes to take my guilty room—
Who dies, and glorifies the tomb ?
The bright and Morning Star.
8 O may my light be light from Him,
Until I join the seraphim,
When not a cloud shall ever dim-
The bright and Morning Star.
4 And when the waves of Jordan rise,
And my frail bark the tempest tries,
May lybehold, ’midst threat’ning skies,
That bright and Morning Star!

“ Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel." Psalm lxxiii. 24.
\Vnsse’nn I make some sudden stop,
(For many such I make,)
And cannot see the cloud clear’d up,
Nor know which path to take ;
I to my Ssvroua speed my way,
To tell my dubious state ;
Then listen what the Loan will say,
And hope to follow that.
Of friends and counsellors bereft,
O may I hear him say,—
“ Decline not to the right or left,
Go on: 1o l here‘s the way.”
Weak in myself, in Him I’m strong;
llis Spirit’s voice I hear:
The way I walk cannot be wrong,

HYMN CCCCLX. .
" Feed thy people - _- - - as in the days of old," d-c.
Micah vn. 14.
WHEN Israel, of the Loan belov’d,
Out from the land of bondage came,
His father‘s Gon before him mov’d—
An awful Guide, in smoke and flame.
By day, along the astonish’d lands,
The cloudy pillar glided slow;
By night, Arabia’s crimson’d sands
Return’d the fiery column’s glow.
No portents now their foes amaze,
Forsaken Israel wanders lone ;-- ‘
Their fathers would not know Thy ways,
And Thou hast left them to their own.

"l‘is to make me better know,
That my rest is not below.
Shall I murmur at His dealings?
Shall I not His kindness trust ?
Since He knows my frame and feelings,
And remembers I am dust;
Shall I not receive the rod,
And confess the hand of Gon?
Hear me, Loan, in my petition:
O sustain me, lest l faint:
Teach me patience and submission;
Keep Thy servant from complaint :
And in ev’ry trying hour,
Loan, uphold me by Thy pow’r.

" In my Father’s house are many mansions." John xiv. 2.
WHEN we can read our title clear
To mansions in the skies,
We bid farewell to ev’ry fear,

2 Should earth against our souls engage,
Or fiery darts be hurl’d,—
Then we can smile at Satan’s rage,

ZION stands, by hills surrounded-—
Zion kept by power divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine :
Happy Zion!
What a favour’d lot is thine!
Every human tie may perish
Friend to friend unfaithful prove ;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heaven and earth at last remove;
But no changes

PSALM I. L. M.
Difl‘erence between the righteous and wicked .
HAPPY the man whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way that sinners go,
Who hates the place where atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
He loves t’ employ his morning light
Among the statutes of the Loan;
And spend the wakeful‘ hours of night,
With pleasure pond’ring o’er His word.
l'le like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green;
And heav’n will shine with kindest beams
On ev’ry work his hands begin.
But sinners find their counsels cross’d;
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
PSALM II. C. M.
Cmus‘r rejected ofmen, and owned of Gon.
‘ WHY did the nations join to slay
The Losn’s anointed Son ?
Why did they cast His laws away,
And tread His gospel down ?

2 The Lot-tn that sits above the skies,

Derides their rage below ;
He speaks with vengeance in His eyes,
And strikes their spirits through.
3 ‘ I call Him my eternal Son,‘
And raise Him from the dead ;
I make my holy hill His throne,
And wide His kingdom spread.
4 ‘ Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy
The utmost heathen lands ;
Thy rod of iron shall destroy
The rebel that withstands.’

5 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,

Obey th’ anointed Loan;
Adore the King of heav’nly birth,
And tremble at His word.
6 With humble love address His throne ;
For if He frown, ye die :
Those are secure, and those alone,
Who on His grace rely.
\ PSALM V. C. M~
For the morning of the Lonn’s DAY
Loan, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high ;
To Thee will 1 direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye.
2 Oft to Thy house will I resort,
To taste Thy mercies there;
I will frequent Thy holy court,
And worship in Thy fear.
3 Oh! may Thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness,
Make every path of duty straight
‘ And plain before my face.
 PSALMS. ‘ 293

4 The men that love and fear Thy name

Shall see their hopes fulfill’d;
The mighty Goo shall compass them
With favour as a shield.
PSALM VI. C. M.
Supplication for Divine mercy.
Loan, in Thy wrath reprove me not,
Though I deserve Thine ire ;
Nor yet correct me in Thy wrath,
O Loan, I Thee desire.
My soul is troubled very sore
And vex’d exceedingly :
But, LoRn, how long wilt Thou delay
To cure my misery ?
Loan, turn Thee to Thy wonted grace,
And pity on me take : >
O! save me—not for my deserts,
But for Thy mercies‘ sake.
PSALM XII. C. M
Signs of the times.
Loan, when iniquities abound,
And blasphemy grows bold,
When faith is hardly to be found,
And love is waxing cold,—
‘2 Is not Thy chariot hastening on ?
Hast Thou not giv’n this sign I?
May we not trust and live upon
A promise so divine ?
3 ‘ Yes,’ saith the Loan, ‘now will I rise
And make the oppressors flee :
I shall appear to their surprise,
And set my servants free.’
4 Thy word, like silver seven times tried,
Through ages shall endure;
The men that in Thy truth confide
Shall find the promise sure.

PSALM XIII. L. M.
The troubled seeking Gon.
How long, O Loan, shall I complain
Like‘ one that seeks his Gon in vain ‘P
Canst Thou Thy face for ever hide?
And I still pray, and be denied ?
2 Shall I for ever be forgot,
As one whom Thou regardest not ’1’
Still shall my soul Thine absence mourn,
And still despair of Thy return?
3 How long shall my poor troubled breast
Be with these anxious thoughts oppress’d,
And Satan, my malicious foe,
Rejoice to see me sunk so low ?
4 Hear, Loan, and grant me quick relief,
Before my death conclude my grief;
If Thou withhold ’l‘hy heavenly light,
I sleep in everlasting night.
5 How will the powers of darkness boast,
If but one praying soul be lost!
But I have trusted in ’l‘hy grace,
And shall again behold Thy face.
PSALM XIV. C. M
The universalily of human guilt.
FooLs in their hearts believe and say,
‘ That all religion’s vain,
There is no Gon that reigns on high,
O1‘ minds th’ affairs of men.’
2 From thoughts so dreadful and profane
Corrupt discourse proceeds ;
And in their impious hands are found
Abominable deeds.
3 The Loan from His celestial throne
Look’d down on things below,
To find the man that sought His grace,
Or did His justice know.
 PSALMS. 295

4 By nature all are gone astray,

Their practice all the same ;
There’s none that fears his Maker’s hand,
There’s none that loves His name.
5 Their ton nes are us’d to speak deceit,
Their s anders never cease;
How swift to mischief are their feet,
Nor know the paths of peace !
6 Such seeds of sin (that bitter root)
In every heart are found:
Nor can they bear diviner fruit,
Till grace refine the ground.
PSALM XVI. L. M.
Gon’s people the best company.
PRessnvu me, Loan, in time of need ;
For succour to Thy throne I flee,
But have no merits there to plead
My goodness cannot reach to Thee.
2 Oft have my heart and tongue confess’d
How empty and how poor I am;
My praise can never make Thee bless’d
Nor add new glories to Thy name.
3 Yet, Loan, Thy saints on earth may reap
Some profit by the good I do;
These are the company I keep,
These are the choicest friends I know.
4 Let others choose the sons of mirth ;—
Be friends of wisdom friends of mine I
I love the men of heavenly birth,
Whose thoughts and language are divine.
PSALM XVI. Version Second. L. M.
A sure and certain hope in death.
WHEN Gon is nigh, my faith is strong;
His arm is my almighty prop :
Be glad, my heart ; rejoice, my tongue ;
My dying flesh shall rest in hope.
296 APPENnIX.

2 Though in the dust I lay my head,

Yet, gracious Gon, thou wilt not leave
My soul for ever with the dead,
Nor lose Thy children in the grave.
3 My flesh shall Thy first call obey,
Shake off the dust, and rise on high ;
Then shalt Thou lead the wond’rous way
Up to Thy throne above the sky.
4 There streams of endless pleasure flow ;
And full discoveries of Thy grace,
(Which we but tasted here below)
Spread heavenly joys through all the place.
. PSALM XVII. ‘ S. M.
The discipline and hopes of Gon’s true people.
Anrsn, my gracious Gon,
And make the wicked flee;
They are but Thy chastising rod,
To drive Thy saints to Thee.
I shall behold the face
Of my forgiving Gon,
And stand complete in righteousness,
Wash’d my Saviour’s blood.
There‘s a new heaven begun,
When I awake from death,
Dress’d in the likeness of Thy Son,
And draw immortal breath.
PSALM XVIII. _C. M.
The Lonn giveth victory and national prosperity.
WHEN Gon our Leader shines in arms,
What mortal heart can hear
The thunder of His loud alarms ?—
’l‘he lightning of His spear?
2 He rides upon the winged wind;
And angels in array,
In millions wait to know His mind,
And swift as flames obey.
 PSALMS. 297

3 He speaks, and at His fierce rebuke

Whole armies are dismay’d;
His voice, His frown, His angry look,
Strike all their courage dead.
4 Oft has the Loan whole nations bless’d
For His own church’s sake;
The powers that give His people rest,
Shall of His care partake.
PSALM XVIII. Version Second. C. M.
“ The Loan wrought a great victory that day.”
2 Sam. xxiii. 10.
To Tums Almighty arm we owe
The triumph of the day :
Th terrors, Loan, confound the foe,
nd melt their strength away.
2 ‘Tis by Thine aid our troops prevail,
And break united powers,
Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale
The proudest of their towers.
3 How have we chas’d them through the field,
And trod them to the ground,
While Thy salvation was our shield, ‘
But they no shelter found!
4 In vain to idol gods they cry,
And perish in their blood ;
Where is a rock so great, so high,
So powerful as our Gon?
5 The Rock of Israel ever lives,
His name be ever bless’d !
’Tis His own arm the victory gives,
And gives His people rest.
6 On kings that reign as David did,
He pours His blessings down ;
Secures their honours to their seed,
. And well supports their crown. -

On all Thy works we look ;
But still Thy wisdom, power and grace,

Here our best comfort lies;
Here our desires are satisfied,
And hence our hopes arise.
3 Loun, make us understand Thy law,
Show what our faults have been;
And from Thy gospel let us draw
The hope of pardon’d sin.
PSALM XX. L. M.
“ Help from the Sanctuary."
Now ma the Gon of power and grace
Attend is people’s humble cry;
Jsnovsa hears when Israel prays,
And brings deliv’rance from on high.
The name ofJacob’s Gon defends
Better‘than shields or brazen walls:
He from His sanctuary sends
Succour and strength, when Zion calls.
Now save us, Loan, from slavish fear;
Now let our hopes be firm and strong,
Till Thy salvation shall appear,
And joy and triumph raise the song.
PSALM XXII. L. M.
The Cnoss, and the glory that should follow.
Now let our mournful songs record
The dying sorrows of our LoR.n ;
When He complain’d in tears and blood,
As one forsaken of his Gon.

2 The Jews beheld Him thus forlorn,

And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn,
“ He rescued others from the grave;
Now let Him try Himself to save. ”
3 They wound His head, His hands, His feet,
Till streams of blood each other meet;
By lot His garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which He died.
4 But Gon His Father heard His cry;
Rais’d from the dead He reigns on high ;
The nations learn His righteousness,
And humble sinners taste His grace.
PSALM XXIII. S. M.
‘ The good Shepherd.’
Tau Loan my Shepherd is;
I shall be well supplied;
Since He is mine an I am His,
What can I want beside ?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
‘ And full salvation flows.
3 If e’er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim ;
And guides me in His own right way
For His most holy name.
4 While He affords ‘His aid,
I cannot yield to fear:
Tho’ I should walk thro’ death’s dark shade,
My Shepherd’s with me there.
5 In spite of all my foes,
Thou dost my table spread;

For there I shall with comfort rest,
From all my deep distress;
And safe as on a rock abide
In that secure recess.
While Gon o’er all my haughty foes,

And I my joyful offering bring,
And sing glad songs of praise.
PSALM XXX. L. M.
Health, sickness and recovery.
FIRM was my health, my day was bright,
And I presum’d ’twould ne’er be night ;
Fondly I said within my heart,
‘ Pleasure and peace shall ne’er depart.’
But I forgot Thine arm was strong,
Which made my mountain stand so long;
Soon as Thy face began to hide,
My health was gone, my comforts died.
‘ Hear me, O Gon of grace,’ I said,
‘ And bring me from among the dead .-’
Thy word rebuk’d the pains I felt,
Thy pardoning love remov’d my guilt.

He, the true David, Israel’s king,
Bless’d and belov’d of Gon,
To save us rebels dead in sin—
Paid His own dearest blood.
PSALM XXXVI. S.
Man’s Sin, danger and safety.
WHEN man grows bold in sin,
My heart within me cries,
‘ He hath no faith of Gon within,
‘ Nor fear before his eyes.’
But there’s a dreadful Gon,
Though men renounce His fear;
His justice, hid behind the cloud,
Shall one great day appear.
His truth transcends the sky,
In heaven His mercies dwell,
Deep as the seas His judgments lie,
His anger burns to hell.
How excellent His love,
Whence all our safety springs !
O never let thy soul remove
From underneath llis wings.

PSALM XXXVI I. C. M.
The way and end of the righteous and the wicked.
MY Gon, the steps of pious men
Are order’d by Thy will ;
Though they should fall, they rise again ; —
Thy hand supports them still.
2 The Loan delights to see their ways,
Their virtue He approves ;
He’ll ne’er deprive them of His grace,
Nor leave the men He loves.
3 The heavenly heritage is thcir’s,
Their portion and their home ;
l-le feeds them now, and makes them heirs
Of blessings long to come.
4 The haughty sinner have I seen,
Not fearing man nor Gon,
Like a tall bay-tree fair and green,
Spreading his arms abroad.
5 And 1o! he vanish’d from the ground,
Destroy’d by hands unseen ;
Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found,
W here all that pride had been.
6 But mark the man of righteousness !
His several steps attend:
True pleasure runs through all his ways,
And peaceful is his end.
PSALM XXXVIII. C. M.
Deprecatingjudgment and pouring out the heart to GOn.
AMInST Thy wrath remember love;
Restore ‘l‘hy servant, Loan ;
Nor let a Father’s chast’niug prove

All my desire to Thee is known,
Thine eye counts ev’ry tear,
And cv’ry sigh and ev’ry groan

Thou art my Gon, my only hope;

My Gon will hear my cry l
My Gon will bear my spirit up,
And give me victory.
For I’ll confess my guilt to Thee,
And grieve for all my sin ;
I’ll mourn how weak my graces be,
And beg support divine.
PSALM XXXIX. C. M.
Government of the tongue. The fewness and vanity of
man’s days on earth.
Tnus I resolv’d before the Loan ;—
‘ Now will I watch my tongue,
Lest I let slip one sinful word,
Or do my neighbour wrong.’
2 And if I’m e’er constrain’d to stay
With men of lives profane,
I’ll set a double guard that day,
Nor let my talk he vain.
3 Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame l
I would survey life’s narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
4 A span is all that we can boast,
An inch or two of time ;
Man is but vanity and dust
In all his fiow’r and prime.
5 See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o’er the plain :
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
6 Some walk in honour’s gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore, -
They toil for heirs-they know not who ;-
And straight are seen‘no more.
 PSALMS. 307

7 What should I wish or wait for, then,

From creatures, earth and dust ?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
8 Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my Gon my all.
PSALM XL. L. M.
Inejicacy of legal sacrifices. The sufliciency of the
LAMB or Gon.
Taou, gracious Loan, hast not desir’d

For man’s transgressions to atone.
2 Thy blessed Son came to fulfil
What Thine own oracles impart;
He gave Himself to do Thy will ;—
’l‘hy law was written in His heart.
3 Now those that humbly seek Thy face,
Through Him to joyfu hope are rais’d;
And all who prize redeeming grace,
Shall ever sing “ The Loan be prais’d !"
4 Who can Thy mercies, Loan, recount ?—
What wonders Thou for us hast wrought ?
The treasures of Thy love surmount
The power of numbers, speech and thought.
PSALM XLI. C. M.
“ Abound in this grace also.”
HAPPY the man, whose tender care

Oppress’d with sickness lie ;
The Loan will easy make his bed,

And in a cheerful throng
Did thousands meet to praise and pray ;
And grace was all their song.
3 Awake, arise, almighty Loan,
Why sleeps Thy wonted grace ?
Why should we look like men abhorr’d,
Or banish’d from Thy face ?

Our Saviour and our Gon :
We plead the honours of Thy name
The merits of Thy blood.

Attend Him rising through the sky,
With trumpets’ joyful sound.
3 While angels shout and praise their King,
Let mortals learn their strains;
Let all the earth His honours sing,
O’er all the earth He reigns.
4 Rehearse His praise with awe profound;
Let knowledge lead the song,
Nor mock Him with a solemn sound
Upon a thoughtless tongue.

But now He calls the world His own;
And heathens taste His grace.

Snow pity, Lord; O Loan, forgive :
Let a repeuting sinner live :
Are not Thy mercies large and free ?
May not the guilty trust in Thee ?
2 My crimes, though great, do not surpass
The power and glory of Thy grace ;
Oh ! wash my soul from ev’ry sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean.
3 My lips with shame my sins confess,
Against Thy law, against Thy grace :
Loan, should Thy judgment grow severe,
I am condemn’d, but Thou art clear.
5 Yet save a trembling sinner, Loan,
Whose hope, still hov’ring round Thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.
PSALM LXIIl. S. M.
Following on to know the Loan.
MY Gon, permit my tongue
This joy, to call‘Thee mine,
And let my early cries prevail
To taste Thy love divine.
2 My thirsty, fainting soul
Thy mercy doth implore :
Not travellers in desert lands
Can pant for water more.
3 Within Thy churches, Lord,
I long to find my place,
’Phy power and glory to behold,
And feel Thy quickening grace.
4 For life without Thy love
No relish can afford;
 PSALMS. 311

No joy can be compar’d with this,

To serve and please the Loan.
5 To Thee I‘ll lift my hands,
And praise ’l‘hee while I live :
Not the rich dainties of a feast
Such food or pleasure give.
6 In wakeful hours of night
I call my Gon to mind,
I think how wise Thy counsels are,
And all ‘l‘hy dealings kind.
7 Since Thou hast been my help,
To Thee my spirit flies :
And on Thy watchful providence
My cheerful hope relies.
8 The ‘shadow of Thy wings
My soul in safety keeps;
I follow where my Father leads,
And He supports my steps.

With melody of sound record

Come, see the wonders of our Gon,—
How glorious are his ways !
In Moses’ hand He puts His rod,
And cleaves the frighted seas.
He made the ebbing channel dry,
While Israel pass’d the flood :
There did the church begin their joy,
And triumph in their Gon.
O bless our Gon and never cease ;
Ye saints, fulfil His praise ;
He keeps our life, maintains our peace,
And guides our doubtful ways.

Who pours His blessings from the skies,
And loads our days with rich supplies.
’Tis to His care we owe our breath,
And all our near escapes from death :
Safety and health to Goli belong;
lie heals the weak, and guards the strong.
He makes the saint and sinner pi‘ove
The common blessings of His love ;
But the wide difference that remains
ls endless joy, or endless pains.
And His right hand His saints shall raise
From the deep earth or deeper seas :
And bring them to His courts above ;-
There shall they taste His special love.
PSALM LXIX. C. M.
The suflerings of CHRIST for our salratimt.
“ SAVE me O Gon; the swelling floods
Break in upon my soul ;
I sink, and sorrows o’er my head
Like mighty waters roll.”
Thus in the great Messna’s name,
The royal prophet mourns;
Thus he awakes our hearts to grief,
And give us joy by turns.
’Twas then He paid the dreadful debt
That men could never pay,

And gave those honours to Gon’s law
Which sinners took away.

While to His heav’nly Father’s ear

And though my flesh sink down to death,

Far from Thy presence die;
Not all the idol gods they love

My tongue shall sound Thy works abroad,
And tell the world my joy.

Nor let the birds of prey invade,

And make our hope their jest ;

And give Thy children rest.
PSALM LXXVI. C. M.
Israel saved and her enemies destroyed.
IN Judah Gon of old was known;
His name in Israel’s great:
In Salem stood His holy throne,
And Zion was His seat.

And broke the threat’ning spear,
The how, the arrow, and the sword,
And crush'd th’ Assyrians’ war.

Both horse and chariot fell!
Who knows the terrors of Thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
4 When Gon in His own sov’reign ways
Comes down to save th’ oppress’d,
The wrath of man shall work His praise,
And He’ll restrain the rest.
PSALM LXXVII. C. M.

And learn to trust His love.

6 He hears His saints, He knows their cry,
And by mysterious ways
Redeems the prisoners doom’d to die,
And fills their tongues with praise.
PSALM CII. Second Version. C. M.
Prayer heard, and Zion restored.
Lsr Zion and her sons rejoice;
Behold the promis’d hour!
Her Gon hath heard her mourning voice ;
And comes t’ exalt His pow’r.
2 Her dust and ruins that remain
Are precious in our eyes ;
Those ruins shall be built again,
And all that dust shall rise.
3 The Loan will raise Jerusalem,
. And stand in glory there ;
Nations shall bow before His name,
And kings attend with fear.
4 He sits a Sov’reign on His throne,
With pity in His eyes;
He hears the dying pris’ners groan,
And sees their sighs arise.
5 He frees the souls condemn’d to death,
And when His saints complain,
It shan’t be said that praying breath
Was ever spent in vain.
6 This shall be known when we are dead, -
And left on long record,
That ages yet unborn may read,
And trust and praise the Loan.
PSALM CIII. S. M.
Praise for spiritual and temporal mercies.
O Bness the Loan, my soul!
Let all within me join,
 rssmus. 327

And aid my tongue to bless His name,

Whose favours are divine.
2 O bless the Loan, my soul;
Nor let His mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
3 ’Tis He forgives thy sins,
’Tis He relieves thy pain,
’Tis He that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransom’d from the grave;
He that redeem’d my soul from hell,
Hath sovereign power to save.
5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the sufferers rest ;
The Loan hath judgment for the proud,
And justice for th’ oppress’d.
6 His wondrous works and ways
He made‘by Moses known;
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His beloved Son.
PSALM CVlI. L. M.
The manner of Gon’s loving-kindness.
FROM age to age exalt His name ;
Gon and His grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry soul with food,
And feeds the poor with every good.
2 But if their hearts rebel and rise
Against the Gon that rules the skies,—
Ifthey reject His heavenly word,
And slight the counsels of the Loan ;—
3 He’ll bring their spirits to the ground,
And no deliverer shall be found ;
Laden with grief they waste their breath
In darkness and the shades of death.
3S8 APPENnIX

4 Then to the Loan they raise their cries ;-

He makes the dawning light arise,
And scatters all that dismal shade,
That hung so heavy round their head.
He cuts the bars of brass in two,
And lets the smiling prisoners through ;
Takes off the load of guilt and grief,
And gives the labouring soul relief.
O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Loan !
How great His works! how kind His ways!
Let every tongue pronounce His praise.
PSALM CIX. C. M.
Love to enemies. from Cunrsr’s example.
Gon of my mercy and my praise,
Thy glory is my song ;—
Though sinners speak against Thy grace
With a blaspheming tongue.
2 When in the form of mortal man
Thy Son on earth was found,
With cruel slanders false and vain
They compass’d Him around.
3 Their miseries His compassion move,
Their peace He still pursued;
They render hatred for His love,
And evil for His good.
4 Their malice rag’d without a cause,
Yet with His dying breath,
He pray’d for murderers on His cross,
And bless’d His foes in death.
5 Loan, shall Thy bright example shine
In vain before mine eyes ?
Give me a soul akin to Thine,
To love mine enemies.
6 The Loan shall on my side-engage ;
And in my Saviour’s name
 rssnms. 329

I shall defeat their pride and rage,

Who slander and condemn.
PSALM CX. C. M.
Cnnrsr’s Kingdom and Priesthood.
JEsus our Lonn, ascend Thy throne,
And near the Father sit;
In Zion shall Thy power be known,
And make Thy foes submit.
2 What wonders shall Thy gospel do !
Thy converts shall surpass
The numerous drops of morning dew,
And own Thy sovereign grace.
3 Gon hath pronounc’d a firm decree,
Nor changes what He swore:
‘ Eternal shall Thy priesthood be,
When Aaron is no more.
4 ‘ Melchisedec, that wondrous priest,
That king of high degree,
That holy man who Abraham bless’d,—
Was but a type of Thee.’
2 Jssus our Priest for ever lives,
To plead for us above;
Jesus our King for ever gives
The blessings of His love.
6 Gon shall exalt His glorious head,
And His high throne maintain ;—
Shall strike the powers and princes dead,
Who dare oppose His reign.
PSALM CXI. .C. M.
Gon’s wisdom andfaithfulness in His works.
SONGS of immortal praise belong
To my Almighty Gon :
He has my heart, and He my tongue,
To spread His name abroad.
2 How great the works His hand has wrought !
How glorious in our sight!

380 APPENnIX.

And men in every age have sought

His wonders with delight.
3 _How most exact is nature’s frame!
How wise the eternal mind!
His counsels never change the scheme
That His first thoughts design’d. ‘
4 When He redeem’d His chosen sons,
He fix’d His covenant sure;
The orders that His lips pronounce,
‘l‘o endless years endure.
5 Nature and time and earth and skies,
Thy heavenly skill proclaim :
‘What shall we do to make us wise,
But learn to read Thy name ?
6 To fear Thy power, to trust Thy grace, ‘
Is our divinest skill;
And he’s the wisest of our race,
That best obeys Thy will.
PSALM CXII. L. M.
The fear of Gon keeps the soul in peace and in all good
ness.

Tumor: happy man who fears the Loan—

Loves His command, and trusts His word !
Honour and peace his days attend,
And blessings to his seed descend.
2 When times grow dark, and tidings spread
That fill his neighbours round with dread,
His heart is arm’d against the fear,
For Gon with all His power is there.
3 His soul, well fix’d upon the Loan,
Draws heavenly courage from His word:
Amidst the darkness light shall rise,
To cheer his heart and bless his eyes.
4 He hath dispers’d his alms abroad,
His works are still before his Gon :
His name on earth shall long remain,
While envious sinners fret in vain.

PSALM CXIV. L. M.
Wonders of Israel’s journey.
WHEN Isr’el, freed from Pharoah’s hand,
Left the proud tyrant and his land,
The tribes with cheerful homage own
Their King ; and Judah was His throne.
2 Across the deep their journey lay;
The deep divides to make them way :
Jordan beheld their march and fled
With backward current to his head.
3 What pow’r could make the deep divide ?
Make Jordan backward roll his tide ?
“Zhy did ye leap, ye little hills ?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels ?
4 Let ev’ry mountain, ev’ry flood,
Retire and know th’ approaching Gon !
The King of Isr’el l—see Him here!
Tremble, thou earth ; adore and fear.
5 He thunders, and all nature mourns ;
The rock to standing pools He turns,
Flints spring with fountains at His word,
And fires and seas confess the Loan.
PSALM CXV. L. M.
All glory ascribed to Goo.
No1‘ to ourselves, who are but dust,—
Not to ourselves is glory due ;
Eternal Gon, ‘l‘hou only just,
Thou only gracious, wise and true.
2 The Gon we serve maintains His throne
Above the clouds, beyond the skies;
Through all the earth His will is done,
He knows our groans, He hears our cries.
3 But the vain idols they adore
Are senseless shapes of stone and wood ;
At best a mass of glitt’ring ore,
A silver saint, or golden god.

4 O Israel, make the Loan thy hope,

The Loan shall build thy‘ ruins up, '

But we shall live to sing Thy grace,
And tell the world Thy power to save.
PSALM CXVI. C. M.

WHAT shall I render to my Gon

There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
3 How much is mercy Thy delight,

How dear Thy servants in Thy sight !
How precious is their blood!

How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin ?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts,
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to Gen.
3 ’Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day ;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.

And meditate Thy word,
Grow wiser than their teachers are,
And better know the Lon».

5 Thy precepts make me truly wise;

I hate the sinner’s road ;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise, _
But love Thy law, my Go0.
6 The starry heavens Thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place ;
And these Thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express.
7 But still Thy law and gospel, Loan,
Have lessons more divine :
Not earth stands firmer than Thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
8 Thy word is everlasting truth;
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.
PSALM CXIX. Part Eleventh. C. M.
Thirsting after Sunctificution.
O THAT the LoRn would guide my ways

Thy law upon my heart ;
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar’s part.

Let no corrupt design,
Nor covetous desires arise ‘
Within this soul of mine.

MY soul lies cleaving to the dust;
LoRn, give me life divine :
From vain desires and every lust
Turn off these eyes of mine.
I need the influence of Thy grace
To speed me in Thy way,
Lest I should loiter in my race,
Or turn my feet astray.
When sore afiiictions press me down,
I need Thy quick‘ning powers ;
Thy word that I have rested on,
Shall rest my heaviest hours.
Are not Thy mercies sovereign still?
And Thou a faithful Gon ?
Wilt Thou not grant me warmer zeal
To run the heavenly road ?
Does not my heart Thy precepts love,
And long to see Thy face ?
And yet how slow my spirits move,
Without enlivening grace !
Then shall I love Thy gospel more,
And ne’er forget Thy word,
When I have felt its quick’ning power
To draw me near my Loan.

Praise for deliverance.
HAn not the Loan, may Israel say,
Been pleas’d to interpose ;

Had not His grace espoused our cause,

Against our mighty foes;
2 Their wrath had swallow’d us alive
And rag’d without control;
Sin, death, and hell’s united floods
Had quite o’erwhelm’d our soul. '
3 But praise to our eternal Loan,
Who rescued us that day,
And sav’d us from their fatal grasp,
Nor gave us up a prey !

Our confidence remains ;—
Who, as He made both heav’n and earth,
Of both sole Monarch reigns.
PSALM CXXX. C. M.
_ Pardom‘ng Grace.
Our of the deeps of long distress—
The borders of despair,
I sent my cries to seek Thy grace,—
My groans to move Thine ear.
2 Great Gon, should Thy severer eye,
And Thine impartial hand,
Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.
3 But there are pardons with my Gon
For crimes of high degree ;
Thy Son has bought them with His blood,
To draw us near to Thee.
4 Then in the Loan let *lsrael trust,—
Let Israel seek His face ;
The Lord is good as well as just ;
And plenteous is His grace.

For sinners long enslav’d;
The great Redeemer is His Son,
And Israel shall be sav’d. - ‘ -‘\

And all my carriage mild ;
Content, my Father, with Thy will,
And quiet as a child.

Shall have a large reward :
Let saints in sorrow lie resign’d,
And trust a faithful Loan.
PSALM CXXXII. C. M.

ARISE, O King of grace, arise,

All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.

H ere let Thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of Thy house,
And fill Thy poor with bread.
4 Here let the Son of David reign ;
Let Gon’s Anointed shine ;
Justice and truth His court maintain,
With love and pow’r divine.

Where joy like morning-dew distils,
And all the air is love.
PSALM CXXXVIIL L. M.

To cheer the plains below ;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in vallies grow.
3 He gives the grazing ox his meat;
He hears the ravens’ cry,
But man, who tastes His finest wheat,
Should raise His honours high.

Obey His mighty word:

And Gentile nations join the praise,
While Zion owns her King.

Whom sinners treat with scorn :

Salvation shall adorn.

Ev’n on a dying bed,
And like the souls in glory sing,
For Gon shall raise the dead.

Thrones are prepar’d for all His friends,
Who humbly lov’d Him here.

Nations that dar’d rebel;
And join the sentence of their Gon
On tyrants doom’d to hell.

New triumphs shall afford ;
Such honour for the saints remains :
Praise ye and love the Loan.
PSALM CL. C. M.

While you rehearse His deeds;
But the great work of saving love
Your highest praise exceeds.
3 All that have motion, life and breath,
Proclaim your Maker blest ;
Yet when my voice expires in death,
My soul shall praise Him best.

HYMN XIV. C. M.
" Loan, semi help from the Sanctuary.” Psalm xx_. 2.
Hun are they to whom the Loan
His gracious name makes known,
And by His Spirit and His word
Adopts them for His own!
2 He calls them to His mercy-seat
And hears their humble prayer;
And when within His house they meet,
They find His presence near.
3 The force of their united cries
No power can long withstand ;
For Jesus helps them from the skies,
By His almighty hand.
4 Then mountains sink at once to plains,
And light from darkness springs;
Each seeming loss improves their gains,
Each trouble comfort brings.
_5 Though men despise them or revile,
They count the trial small ;
Whoever frowns, if Jesus smile,
It makes amends for all.

“ Lono teach us to pray." Luke xi. 1. >

Make Thy power and glory known ;

And with reverence and fear

On Thy promise to repose,
All Thy tender love to trace
In the SAVioun’s work of grace,
And with confidence depend
On a gracious Gon and Friend.

“ I was glad, 8m." Psalm cxxii. 1.
How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends dcvoutly say,
“ ln Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day!”
Up to her courts with joys unknown
The holy tribes repair ;
.The Son of David holds His throne,
And sits in judgment there.
He hears our praises and complaints;
And while His awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest ;~
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants bless’d!
My soul shall pray for’ Zion still,
While life or breath remains ;
There my best friends, my kindred dwell,—

" Our eyes are upon Time.” 2 Chron. xx. 12.

What are other objects worth?
But to see Thy glory shine,
Is a heaven begun on earth.

All Thy glorious love reveal;
Let me know Thy tender grace,
And its powerful influence feel.
Take my heart,—‘tis all Thine own ;
’l‘o ’l‘hy will my spirit frame;
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone,
Over all I have or am.
Making thus the Loan my choice,
Ihave nothing more to choose,
But to listen to Thy voice,
And my will in Thine to lose;

" Lem-u of me." Matt. xi. 29.

Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter’s power;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see;
Watch with Him one bitter hour :
’l‘urn not from His griefs away ;-—
Learn of Jesus Cx-uusr to pray.
Follow to the judgment-hall,
View the Loan of life arraign’d ;
Oh the Wormwood and the gall !
()h the pangs llis soul sustain’d l
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss ;-
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
Calvary’s monrnful mountain climb ;
’l‘bere, adoring at His feet,
Mark that miracle of time,—.
God’s own sacrifice complete :‘
“ It is finish’d !" hear Him cry ;
Learn of Jesus Cmnsr to die.
Early hasten to the tomb,
Where they laid His breathless clay ;
All is solitude and gloom ;
Wuo hath taken Him away ?

With the angels round His throne;

Waiting Thy power to feel;
Deep-wounded souls to Thee repair,
That Thou their wounds may’st heal.

We faintly trust Thy word;
But wilt ’l‘hou pity us the less ?
Be that far from ‘l‘hee, Loan!
3 Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief;
“ Loan, I believe," with tears he cried,
“ Help Thou mine unbelief."
4 She too who touch’d Thee in the press,
And healing virtue stole,
Was answer’d, “ Daughter, go in peace,
“ Thy faith hath made thee whole.”

To touch Thee if we may :

Send none unheal’d away.

I love His every grief and pain;
I love to meditate by faith
Upon llis meritorious death.
3 I love Mount Calvary, where His love
Stronger than death itself did prove ;

I love the grave where Jesus lay.

I love with them to pray and praise;
I love the Father and the Son,
I love the Spirit Christ sent down.

" Now we see through a glass." 1 Cor. xiii. 12.
I LOVE ’l‘hy sacred book, O Gon;
No other can its place supply;
It points me to the saints’ abode ;
It gives me wings and bids me fly.
2 In this sweet book, mine eyes discern
The image of my absent Loan:
From its instructive page I learn
The joys His presence will afford.
3 In it I read my title clear
’I‘o mansions that will ne’er decay ;—
My Loan, O when wilt ’l‘hou appear,
And bear Thy prisoner far away ?

And there behold a Saviour’s face.

2 The scape-goat on his head

The people’s trespass bore,
And, to the desert led,
Was to be seen no more ;
In him our Surety seem’d to say,
“ Behold I hear your sins away."
3 Dipp’d in his fellow’s blood,
The living bird went free ;
The type, well understood,
Express’d the sinner’s plea,—
Describ’d a soul from sin enlarg’d,
And by the death ofCnms’r discharg’d.
4 Jesus, [love to trace,
’l‘houghout the sacred page,
The footsteps of‘l‘hy grace,—
The same in every age :
Oh grant that I may faithful be
To clearer light vouchsaf’d to me !

“ Nevertheless I am not ashamed." 2 Tim. i. 12.

Ashaln’d of ‘l‘hee, whom angels praise
Whose glories shine through endless days !
2 Asham’d of J ESUS !=-that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend !
No ; when 1 blush,‘be this my shame—
That I no more revere His name.
3 Ashamed ofJesus, did I say !
Who else can take my sin away,
Or calm my fears, save He who gave
His life my mined soul to save?

“ The law made nothing perfect, a0.” Heb. vii. 19—28.
J esus ! in Thee our eyes behold
A thousand glories more,
Than the rich gems and polish’d gold
The sons of Aaron wore.
2 Their priesthood ran through many hands,
For mortal was their race;
Thy never-changing office stands
Eternal as Thy days.
3 They first their own burnt-Ofi'rings brought,
‘l‘o purge themselves from sin :
Thy life was pure, without a spot,
And all Thy nature clean.
4 Fresh blood on each returning day
Was on their altar spilt ;
But Thy one off’ring takes away
For ever all our guilt.
5 Jesus the King of glory reigns
On Zion’s heavenly hill;
Looks as a lamb that has been slain,
And wears His priesthood still.
6 He ever lives to intercede
Before His Father’s face:
Give Him, my soul, thy cause to plead,
Nor doubt the Father’s grace.
HYMN XCVIII. P. M. 7’s.
" I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me."

Loan, 1 cannot let ’l‘hee go,
Till a blessing Thou bestow ;
Do not turn away ’l‘hy face,
Mine’s an urgent pressing case.
Thou hast help’d in ev’ry need ;
This cmboldens me to plead :
398 APPENnIX.

After so much mercy past,

Canst Thou let me sink at last ?
No—I must maintain my hold ;
"l‘is Thy goodness makes me bold ;
I can no denial take,
When I plead for Jesus‘ sake.
HYMN XCIX. L. M.
" What things were gain to me those I counted (ass for
Cunrsr.” PhiLiii. 7.
No more, my GOn, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of Thy Son.
Now for the love I bear His name,
What was my gain 1 count my loss,
My former pride l call my shame,
And nail my glory to His Cross.
Yes l and 1 must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesu’s sake :
O! may my soul be found in Him !
And of His righteousness partake!
The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before Thy throne ;
But faith can answer Thy demands,
By pleading what my Loan has done.
HYMN C. L. M.
“ I will take away the stony heart." Ezek. xi. 19.
O roa a glance of heav’nly day,
To take this stubborn stone away,
And thaw with beams of love divine,
This heart--this frozen heart of mine !
The rocks can rend, the earth can quake,
The seas can roar, the mountains shake:
Of feeling all things shew some sign,
But this unfeeling heart of mine.
 HYMNS. 399

3 To hear the sorrows Thou hast felt,

O Loan, an adamant would melt;
But I can read each wondrous line,
And nothing move this heart of mine.

Can move and melt this heart of stone.

O give our hearts Thy grace to know ;—

Lead us now to CnnIST the Loan,
And show us wonders in Thy word;
Cause us to look beyond the tomb ;
And dissipate in death its gloom ;
Upon our souls Thy Spirit show’r ;—
Be Thou our Rest in that dark hour.
Leave us not, but still abide
Our faithful, never-changing Guide;
And let the hope of glory lead

“ Before they call I will answer, 831:.” Isai. lxv. 24.
Orr hast.Thou, Loan, in tender love
Prevented my request,
And sent Thy Spirit from above—
An unexpected guest.
2 Oft when my pray’r was scarce begun,
Thou didst ‘l‘hy fire impart,
And made ’l‘hy pardoning mercy known,
And seal’d it on my heart.
3 Why dost Thou to a sinner’s cry
Incline Thy pitying ear ?
Thou hear’st mine Advocate on high,
And wilt for ever hear.

To the LAMB amidst the throne ;

Vict’ry through His cross alone.

“ Who remembered us in our low estate."
Psalm cxxxvi. 23.
PnuNG’n in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes the Prince of grace
Beheld our helpless grief ;
lle saw-and oh amazing love!
H e ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste He fled,
Enter’d the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The SAVIOUR’S praises speak.

Strike all your harps of gold ;
But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne’er be told.

Presenting Israel’s prayer.

His breast displays in shining rows
The names ‘of all the tribes.
3 With the atoning blood he stands
Before the mercy seat;
And clouds of incense from his hands
Arise with odour sweet.
4 Through him the eye of faith discerns
A greater priest than he;
Thus Jesus pleads above the skies,
For you, my friends, and me.
5 In Him my weary soul has rest,
Though I am weak and vile;
I read my name upon His breast,
And see the Fsrnsa smile.

Songs of praise arose when He

He knows what sore temptations mean,
For He has felt the same.
