'Tis sweet conversing on my bed With my own heart and thee. 3. I pay this evening sacrifice; And when my work is done, 4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace, PSALM 5. C. M. For the Lord's Day Morning. LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear To thee will I direct my prayer, gone 2 Up to the hills, where Christ is 3 Thou art a God before whose sight Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, 4 But to thy house will I resort, 5 Oh may thy spirit guide my feet 6 My watchful enemies combine They flatter with a base design 7 Lord, crush the serpent in the dust, While those that in thy mercy trust 8 The men that love and fear thy name PSALM 6. C. M. Complaint in Sickness. 1 IN anger, Lord, rebuke me not, Withdraw the dreadful storm; Nor let thy fury grow so hot 2 My soul's bow'd down with heavy cares, My flesh with pain opprest; My couch is witness to my tears, 3 Sorrow and pain wear out my days; 4 Shall I be still afflicted more? Mine eyes consum'd with grief? 5 He hears when dust and ashes speak, He saves us for our Saviour's sake, 6 The virtue of his sovereign word 1 For silent graves praise not the Lord; Our lips are seal'd in death. MY PSALM 7. C. M. The Christian's integrity-an appeal to God. 3 If I indulge in thoughts unjust, 4 If there were malice hid in me, 5 Arise, my God, lift up thy hand, 6 Let sinners and their wicked rage Shall not the God of truth engage, 7 He knows the heart, he tries the reins, 8 For me their malice dug a pit, My God makes all their mischief light 9 That cruel,persecuting race Must feel his dreadful sword; Awake, my soul, and praise the grace And justice of the Lord. 1 PSALM 8. First Part. S. M. Condescension of God. LORD, our heavenly King, Thy glories round the earth are spread, 2 When to thy works on high 3 When I survey the stars And all their shining forms, Lord, what is man! that worthless thing, 4 Lord, what is worthless man, 5 How rich thy bounties are! Of dust and worms, thy power can frame praise. PSALM 8. Second Part. L. M. First and Second Adam. ORD, what was man, when made at first That thou should'st set him and his race, 2 That thou should'st raise his nature so, ; And make him lord of all below 1 PSALM 8. Third Part. L. M. The Hosannah of the Children. ALMIGHTY Ruler of the skies, Thro' the wide earth thy name is spread; And thine eternal glories rise, O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made. 2 To thee the voices of the young A monument of honour raise; And babes with uninstructed tongue Declare the wonders of thy praise. 3 Thy pow'r assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground; To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policy confound. 1 PSALM 9. First Part. C. M. WI |
