Let not the wonders he hath wro't,

Be lost in silence and forgot.
3 The vices of the mind he heals,

And cures the pains that nature feels ;
Redeems the soul from guilt, and saves

Our wasting life from threat'ning graves.
4 Our youth decay'd, his power repairs,
His mercy crowns our growing years ;
He satisfies our mouth with good,

And fills our souls with heavenly food.
5 He sees the oppressor and the oppreft,
And often gives the sufferers telt;
But will his justice more display

In the last, great decisive day.
6 His power he show'd by Moses' hands,

And gave to Ifrael his commands;
But made his truth and mercy known
To all the nations by his Son.

Divine Mercy in the mid of Fudgment.
Y soul, repeat his praise,

Whole mercies fo
Whose anger is so flow to rise,

So ready to abate.
2 God will not always chide;

And when his wrath is felt;
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,

And lighter than our guilt.
3 High as the heavens are rais'd

Above the ground we tread ; So far the riches of his grace

Our highelt thoughts exceedo

4
His
grace

subdues our sins;
And his forgiving love
Far as the east is from the west,

Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord

To those who fear his name, Is such as tender

parents

feel i He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days are as the grass,

Or like the morning flower; When blafting winds spread o'er the field,

It withers in an hour. 7 But thy compassion, Lord,

Through ages fhall endure; And children's children ever sind Thy words of promise sure.

God's tender Regard to buman Weakness.
And make that power our trust;

proclaim, Which rais'd at first this curious frame,

From mean and lifeless duit. 2. By duft supported still it stands,

Prepar'd in various forms ;
And wrought by thy creating hands,

To nourish mortal worns.
3 A while these frail machines endure ;

The fabric of a day !
Then lose their animating power ;

And moulder back to clay. 4 Yet frail and feeble as we are,

This thought is our reposc,

1

That he who first our frame did rear,

Its various weakness knows. 5 He views us with a pitying eye,

While struggling with our load ; In pains and dangers he is nigh,

Our Father and our God. 6 Gently supported by his love,

We tend to realms of peace; Where ev'ry pain shall far remove, And ev'ry frailty cease.

Thy kingdom wide extends ;
Thy vast dominion shall be known

And wait to do his will,
Bless him, whose work is your delight,

Whose pleasure ye fulfil.

The orders of your King,
Attend his churches when they pray,

And join the praise they fing.

Psalm CIV. First Part. L. M. [X

Divine Majesty and Goodness in Storm and Rain.
WAKE, my foul, to hymns of praise,

To God the song of triumph raise ;
Adorn'd with majesty divine,

What pomp, what glory, Lord, are thine ! 2 Light forms his robe, and round his head

The heavens their ample curtain spread;
See on the wind's expanded wings

The chariot of the King of kings! 3. Around him rang'd in awful state,

Dark silent storms attendant wait;
And thunders ready to fulfil

The mandates of his sovereign will. 4 From earth's low margin to the skies

He bids the dulky vapours rife;
Then from his magazines on high,

Commands th' imprison'd winds to fly. 5 The lightning's pallid sheet expands,

And showers descend on furrow'd lands;
Whilft down the mountain's channel'd fide,

The torrent rolls in swelling pride. 6 Till spent its wild impetuous force,

And settled in its destin'd course,
It waters all the fruitful plains,

And life in various forms sustains.
7 Thus clouds, and storms, and fires obey

Thy wise and all-controlling sway;
And whilst thy terrors round us ftand,
We see a Father's bounteous hand.

The Scaman's Prager.
LMIGHTY Ruler of the skies,

How various are thy works! how wise ! Thy power throughout all fpace extends,

Sinks through all depth, all height transcends ! 2 Not earth alone beholds her shores

Enrich'd by thy exhaustless stores ;
Alike, throughout their liquid reign,

The spreading feas thy gifts contain. 3 Beneath, unnumber'd fishes swarm,

Of diff'rent size, of various form ;
Above, the ships incumbent ride,

Borne on the bosom of the side. 4 Here, huge Leviathan is seen

To sport the mighty waves between;
There, icy mountains float and roll,

Driv'n from the feas beneath the pole. 5 On high, the concave we behold

In living blue, or sparkling gold ;
Whilst waving azure fields around

Spread to th' horizon's utmost bound. 6 The winds and waves obey thy will ;

The needle owns thy power and kill;
And, fteer'd by thy dirccting hand,
Our bark shall gain the with'd for land.
