And when I wake in dead of night; Because thou still dost succor bring, Beneath the shadow of thy wing I rest with safety and delight.
PSALM 16. S. M.
1 TO bless thy chosen race, In mercy, Lord, incline; And cause the brightness of thy face On all thy saints to shine;
2 That so thy wondrous way
May through the world be known; While distant lands their tribute pay, And thy salvation own.
3 Let differing nations join To celebrate thy fame;
Let all the world, O Lord, combine To praise thy glorious name.
4 0 let them shout and sing, With joy and pious mirth;
For thou, the righteous Judge and King, Shalt govern all the earth.
5 Let differing nations join
To celebrate thy fame;
Let all the world, O Lord, combine To praise thy glorious name.
PSALM 17. L. M.
10 COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise, When our salvation's Rock we praise.
2 Into his presence let us haste, To thank him for his favours past; To him address, in joyful songs, The praise that to his name belongs;
3 For God the Lord, enthroned in state, Is with unrivalled glory great; A King superior far to all
Whom gods the heathen falsely call.
4 0 let us to his courts repair, And bow with adoration there; Down on our knees devoutly all Before the Lord, our maker, fall.
5 For he's our God, our shepherd he, His flock and pasture sheep are we; O then, ye faithful flock, to-day His warning hear, his voice obey.
1 CING to the Lord a new-made song,
Who wondrous things has done; With his right hand and holy arm, The conquest he has won.
2 Let, therefore, earth's inhabitants Their cheerful voices raise,
And all with universal joy, Resound their Maker's praise.
3 With harp and hymn's soft melody, Into the concert bring,
The trumpet and shrill cornet's sound, Before the almighty King.
4 Let the loud ocean roar her joy With all that seas contain; The earth and her inhabitants Join concert with the main.
5 Let floods and torrents clap their hands, With joy their homage pay; Let echoing vales, from hill to hill, Redoubled shouts convey.
PSALM 19. S. M.
BLESS the Lord, my soul, His grace to thee proclaim; And all that is within me, join To bless his holy name.
2 O bless the Lord, my soul, His mercies bear in mind, Forget not all his benefits, Who is to thee so kind.
3 He pardons all thy sins, Prolongs thy feeble breath; He healeth thine infirmities, And ransoms thee from death.
4 He feeds thee with his love,
Upholds thee with his truth, And like the eagle, he renews The vigor of thy youth.
5 Then bless the Lord, my soul, His grace, his love proclaim; Let all that is within me join To bless his holy name.
PSALM 20. L. M.
RENDER thanks to God above, The fountain of eternal love; Whose mercy firm through ages past Has stood, and shall for ever last.
2 Who can his mighty deeds express, Not only vast but numberless? What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise?
3 Happy are they, and only they, Who from thy judgments never stray; Who know what's right, nor only so, But always practice what they know.
4 Extend to me that favour, Lord, Thou to thy chosen dost afford, When thou return'st to set them free, Let thy salvation visit me.
PSALM 21. C. M.
1 WITH cheerful notes let all the earth
To heaven their voices raise;
Let all, inspired with godly mirth, Sing solemn hymns of praise.
2 God's tender mercy knows no bound, His truth shall ne'er decay;
Then let the willing nations round Their grateful tribute pay.
PSALM 22. C. M.
10 PRAISE the Lord, for he is good,
His mercies ne'er decay;
That his kind favours ever last, Let thankful Israel
2 Their sense of his eternal love Let Aaron's house express; And that it never fails, let all That fear the Lord confess.
3 Far better 'tis to trust in God, And have the Lord our friend, Than on the greatest human power For safety to depend.
PSALM 23. C. M.
HOW blessed are they who always keep The pure and perfect way;
Who never from the sacred paths Of God's commandments stray !
2 How blessed, who to his righteous laws Have still obedient been; And have, with fervent humble zeal, His favour sought to win.
3 Such men their utmost caution use To shun each wicked deed; But in the path which he directs With constant care proceed.
