Moses was sent at their complaints, 2 He call'd for darkness; darkness came, He made each lake, and ev'ry stream, 3 He gave the sign, and noisome flies 4 Thro' fields and towns, and palaces, 5 Then, by an angel's midnight stroke, The strength of ev'ry house was broke, 6 Now let the world forbear its rage, PSALM 105. Third Part. C. M. Israel led through the wilderness to Canaan. HUS were the tribes from bondage freed, Egyptian spoils supplied their need, Nor was one feeble found. 2 The Lord himself chose out their way, 3 They thirst: and waters from the rock In rich abundance flow; And foll'wing still the course they took, 4 O wondrous stream! O blessed type So Christ our rock maintains our life, 5 Thus guarded by th' Almighty's hand, 6 Then let the world forbear its rage, T PSALM 106. First Part. Communion with saints. L. M. O God the great, the ever blest, Let songs of honour be addrest: His mercy firm for ever stands; Give him the thanks his love demands. 2 Who knows the wonders of thy ways? Who shall fulfil thy boundless praise? Blest are the souls that fear thee still, And pay their duty to thy will. 3 Remember what thy mercy did For Jacob's race, thy chosen seed; And with the same salvation bless The meanest suppliant of thy grace. 4 O may I see thy tribes rejoice, And aid their triumphs with my voice!

The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works, how kind his ways! Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. 1 F PSALM 107. Second Part. .L. M.
