5 On thee, in want, in woe or pain, Our rights thy mercy will maintain, 6 Thus, Lord, thy wondrous power declare, And still exalt thy fame; While we glad songs of praise prepare, PSALM 22. FIRST PART. C. M. "NO TOW from the roaring lion's rage, Nor leave thy darling to engage The powers of hell alone." 2 Thus did our suffering Saviour pray, 3 Great was the victory of his death, 4 A numerous offspring must arise 5 The meek and humble souls shall see And all that seek the Lord shall be 6 The isles shall know the righteousness And nations yet unborn profess NOW PSALM 22. SECOND PART. L. M. TOW let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When he complained in tears and blood, As one forsaken of his God. 2 The Jews behold him thus forlorn, And shake their heads and laugh in scorn; "He rescued others from the grave, Now let him try himself to save. 3 This is the man did once pretend God was his father and his friend! If God, the blessed, loved him so, Why doth he fail to help him now?" 4 O savage people! cruel priests! How they stood round like raging beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their power. 5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, And mock the pangs in which he died. PSALM 23. FIRST PART. L. M.

MY shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his name; In pastures fresh he makes me feed, 2 He brings my wandering spirit back And leads me for his mercy's sake D 3 When I walk through the shades of death Thy presence is my stay; One word of thy supporting breath 4 Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, 5 The sure provisions of my God Oh may thy house be mine abode, 6 There would I find a settled rest, PSALM 23. THIRD PART. S. M. THE Lord my shepherd is, Since he is mine, and I am his, 2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows, 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim, And guides me in his own right way, For his most holy name. 4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear; Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, 5 Amid surrounding foes Thou dost my table spread, My cup with blessings overflows And joy exalts my head. 6 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise. PSALM 24. FIRST PART. C. M. HE earth for ever is the Lord's, THE With Adam's numerous race; He raised its arches o'er the floods, And built it on the seas. 2 But who among the sons of men He that has hands from mischief clean, 3 This is the man may rise and take This is the lot of those that seek The God of Jacob's face. 4 Now let our souls' immortal powers To meet the Lord prepare, 5 The King of glory! who can tell PSALM 24. SECOND PART. L. M. THIS spacious earth is all the Lord's, And men and worms, and beasts and birds; He raised the building on the seas, |
