TAPPAN. C. M. * GEORGE KINGSLEY. 151 Majesty and providence. 1 THE Lord our God is clothed with might, The winds obey his will; He speaks, and in his heavenly height 2 Rebél, ye waves, and o'er the land 3 Ye winds of night, your force combine; Without his high behest, Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, 4 His voice sublime is heard afar; He yokes the whirlwind to his car, 5 Ye sons of earth, in reverence bend; And bid the choral song ascend And he, as sovereign Lord and King, For evermore shall reign. 4 Give glory to his awful name, Give worship to his majesty 153 THOMAS STERNHOLD. Praise from all creation. 1 PRAISE ye the Lord, ye immortal choirs That fill the worlds above; Praise him who formed you of his fires, And feeds you with his love. 2 Shine to his praise, ye crystal skies, Or veil in shades your thousand eyes 3 Thou restless globe of golden light, 4 Thunder and hail, and fire and storms, 5 Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas, Let wave to wave resound his praise, Thus while the meaner creatures sing, ISAAC WATTS. BELMONT. C. M. SAMUEL WEBBR. 154 Goodness and mercy. LET every tongue thy goodness speak, Thy strengthening hands uphold the weak, 2 When sorrows bow the spirit down, 3 Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel, 4 Thy mercy never shall remove Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love Is joined with holy fear. 5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, Let all the sons of Adam raise With watchful care their charge defend, 4 Our lives those holy angels keep 5 And when our spirits we resign, 156 CHARLES WESLEY. The twenty-third Psalm. 1 THE Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want: He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me 2 My soul he doth restore again; 3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For thou art with me, and thy rod 4 A table thou hast furnished me My head thou dost with oil anoint, 5 Goodness and mercy all my life And in God's house for evermore FRANCIS Rous. DUNDEE. C. M. GUILLAUME FRANC. 157 Rejoicing in deliverance. 10 THOU, who, when we did complain, Didst all our griefs remove, O Saviour, do not now disdain Our humble praise and love. 2 Since thou a pitying ear didst give, 3 Pale death, with all his ghastly train, 4 To thee, O Lord of life, we prayed, And did for succor flee: "O save," in our distress we said, "The souls that trust in thee." 5 How good thou art! how large thy grace! How ready to forgive! Thy mercies crown our fleeting days; 6 Our eyes no longer drowned in tears, While thousands fall on every side, 3 The angels watch him on his way, 4 He feeds in pastures large and fair Of love and truth divine: O child of God, O glory's heir, 5 A hand almighty to defend, 159 The only source of blessing. 1 JEHOVAH, God, thy gracious power On every hand we see; O may the blessings of each hour 2 If on the wings of morn we speed, 3 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, Thine eye of mercy never sleeps, 4 From morn till noon-till latest eve, Thy hand, O God, we see; And all the blessings we receive, JOHN THOMSON. MANOAН. C. M. FROM MEHUL AND HAYDN, d JOSEPH ADDISON, 161 Verily, thou art a God that hidest thyself. Isa. 45: 15. 1 GOD moves in a mysterious way 2 Deep in unfathomable mines He treasures up his bright designs, 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 5 His purposes will ripen fast, The bud may have a bitter taste, 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, WILLIAM COWPER, Doxology. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, TATE AND BRADY, 162 Crowning God with praise. 1 KINGDOMS and thrones to God belong; 2 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms; 3 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest; ISAAC WATTS. 163 An awful guide, in smoke and flame. Returned the fiery column's glow. 3 Thus present still, though now unseen, ⚫ 4 And O. when gathers on our path, 164 SIR WALTER SCOTT. The great Provider. 1 PEACE, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear; Thy great Provider still is near; Who fed thee last, will feed thee still: 2 The Lord, who built the earth and sky, 3 Without reserve give Christ your heart; 1 The tempter to my soul hath said, 2 Thus to the Lord I raised my cry: 3 I laid me down and slept,-I woke; 4 I will not fear, though arméd throngs Surround my steps in all their wrath; Salvation to the Lord belongs; His presence guards his people's path.
