4 Let heaven be glad, let earth rejoice,
Let ocean lift its roaring voice,

Proclaiming loud, " Jehovah reigns ;"
For joy let fertile vallies fing,
And tuneful groves their tribute bring

To him, whose power the world sustains. 5 Come, the great day, the glorious hour, When earth shall own his fov'reign power,

And barb'rous nations fear his name ;
Then shall the universe confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim.

[*] Grace and Glory. H' Almighty reigns exalted high,

O'er all the earth, o'er all the iky; Let the whole earth in songs rejoice,

And hofts celestial join their voice.
2 Deep are his counfels and unknown,

But grace and truth support his throne ;
Though gloomy clouds his feet surround,

Justice is their eternal ground. 3 Ye, who confess his holy name,

Hate every work of fin and shame;
He guards the fouls of all his friends,
And from the snares of hell defends,
Immortal light, and joys unknown
Are for the laints in darkness fown;
Those glorious feeds fhall spring and rife,
And the bright harvest bless our cyes.

None but the souls who taste his

grace Can triumph in his holiness,

psalm XCVIII. Common Metre. [*]

Bleffings of the Meliab's Kingdom.
O our Almighty Maker, God,

New honours be address’d;
His great salvation fhines abroad,

And makes the nations blefs'd.
2 He spake the word to Abr'ham first,

His truth fulfils his grace;
The Gentiles make his name their trust,

And learn his righteousness.
3 Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her king ;
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature fing.
4 Joy to the world! her Saviour reigns;

Let men their fongs employ ; While lands and seas, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the founding joy.
$
No more let fin and sorrow grow,

Nor violence abound;
He comes to make his blessings flow,

Wherever man is found.
6 He rules the world with righteousness,

And makes the nations prove
The blessings of his truth and grace,
The wonders of his love.

Short Metre.
A boly God worshipped with Reverence.
HE Gor, Jehovah, reigns,

Let all the nation's fear;
Let finners tremble at his throne,

And saints be humble there. 2 Exalt the Lord our God!

And worship at his feet; His nature is all holiness, And mercy

is his feat.
3 When Ifrael was his church,

When Aaron was his priest,
When Mofes cry'd, and Samuel pray'dy

He gave his people rest.
4 Oft he forgave their sins,

Nor would destroy their race;
And oft he made his vengeance known,

When they abus'd his grace. 5

Exalt the Lord our God,

Whose grace is still the same;
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.

Psalm c. Long Metre.

Praise to our Creator
EFORE Jehovah's awful throne,

;

Know that the Lord is God alone,

He can create, and he destroy. 2. His sovereign power, without our aid,

Made us of clay, and form’d us men;

And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,

He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care,

Our souls and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honours shall we rear,

Almighty Maker, to thy name!
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful fongs,
High as the heaven our voices raise ;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praile.
$ Thou Lord art good, thou Lord art kind;
Great is thy grace, thy mercy sure ; ,
And the whole race of men shall find

Thy truth from age to age endure.
6 Wide as the world is thy command ;

Vast as eternity thy love :
Firm as a rock, thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

O
F justice and of grace I fing,

to God my vows;
Thy grace and justice, heavenly King,

Teach me to rule my house. 2 Now to my tent, O God, repair,

And make thy servant wise ; I'll fuffer nothing near me there,

That shall oftend thine eyes.
3 The man who doth his neighbour wrong,

By falsehood or by force;
The scornful eye, the sland'rous tongue,
I'll drive them from my doors.

Disease and death, at his command,

Arrest us, and cut short our days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,

Nor let our sun go down at noon ;
Thy years are one eternal day ;

And must thy people die fo foon?
3 Yet in the midst of death and grief,

This tho't our forrow shall affuage ;
Our Father and our Saviour live,

Christ is the same thro' ev'ry age.
4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid,

Heav'n is the building of his hand;
This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade,

And all be chang'd at his command. 5 The statry.curtains of the sky

Like garments shall be laid aside;
But still thy throne stands firm and high,

Thy church forever muft abide.
6 Before thy face, thy church shall live,

And on thy throne thy children reiga;
This dying world shall they survive,
And the dead faints be rais'd again.
