To thine abode 2 O happy souls that pray, Where God appoints to hear! O happy men that pay Their constant service there! Thrice happy they, That love the way To Zion's hill. 3 They go from strength to strength Till each in heaven appears :— O God our King! PSALM LXXXV. L. M. 1 ARISE, O God! and let thy grace 2 How long shall Jacob's offspring prove The sad suspension of thy love? For ever shall thine anger burn! And wilt Thou never, Lord, return? 3 In pity their backslidings heal, Their trespass hide, their pardon seal; Check in mid course thy dreadful ire, And bid its kindled flames expire. 4 Thy quickening Spirit now impart, And wake to joy each grateful heart: May Israel's ransom'd tribes in Thee, Their bliss and full salvation see! PSALM XC. C. M. 1 O GOD! our help in ages past, 2 Before the hills in order stood, 3 Thy word commands our flesh to dust, 4 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; EV Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun. PSALM XCII. C. M. 1. How good and pleasant must it be 2 With ev'ry morning's early dawn And of His constant truth each night § For thro' thy wond'rous works, O Lord, PSALM XCV. L. M. i O COME, loud anthems let us sing, To thank him for his favours past; 3 O let us to His courts repair, PSALM XCV. Second Version. S. M. 1 COME, sound His praise abroad; 2 He form'd the deeps unknown; 3 Come worship at His throne, 4 To-day obey His voice, Nor dare provoke His rod; Come, as the people of His choice, And own your gracious God. PSALM XCVI. C. M. 1 SING to the Lord, ye distant lands, 2 Say to the nations Jesus reigns, His pow'r the sinking world sustains, 3 Let an unusual joy surprise Ye mountains sink, ye valleys rise; PSALM XCVIII. C. M. 1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room; 2 Ye saints, rejoice, the Saviour reigns! 3 Behold, he comes! He comes to bless To shew the world His righteousness, 4 No more let sins and sorrows grow, He comes to make His blessings flow, 5 Joy to the world! the Lord is come! Let every heart prepare Him room; |
