Prompted each action of his life,
And triumph'd in his death.

3 Here let our powers unite

Thy glorious name to praife,

Great fource of all that grace and truth
The word of Christ displays.

4 Let love infpire our breasts,
And model every thought;
Be angry paffions far remov'd,
And selfish views forgot.

5 One faith, one hope, one Lord,
One God alone, we know;
Brethren we are; let every heart
With kind affections glow.

6 Warm'd with our mafter's love, And thine unmeafur'd grace,

Our hearts, in one wide wifh of

All human-kind embrace.

PSALM XIX.

Truth, the love of it.

IMPOSTURE fhrinks from light,
And dreads the curious eye:

D.

But

But christian truths the teft invite,

They bid us search and try.

2 A meek inquiring mind,

Lord, help us to maintain;

That from thy word, with growing joy,
We growing light may gain.

3 Do thou our spirits lead;
With foundest knowledge fill;
From noxious error guard our creed,
From ftubbornnefs our will..

4 The truths that God imparts
In word and deed we'll own;
Abhorring all illufive arts,
And fearing God alone.

PSALM XX.

Anxiety unavailing and unreasonable.

I CAN anxious thoughts increase
Our years' appointed fum;

Or, while they spoil our prefent peace,
Secure one day to come?

2 Difquieting defire

May well their hearts corrode,

D.

Who

Who see their hopes with life expire,

Or know no guardian God.

3 Will he, whofe bounty gave
Our life, its food deny?

Will not what nature's wants may crave
Nature's great God supply?

4 Then let to-morrow's cares
Until to-morrow stay;

The trouble which to-day prepares
Sufficeth for to-day.

PSALM XXI.

Christian unity.

I LET party-names no more
The christian world o'erfpread;

Gentile, and Jew, and bond, and free,
Are one in Chrift their head.

2 Among the faints on earth

Let mutual love be found Heirs of the fame inheritance With mutual bleffing crown'd.

3

Let envy and ill-will

Be banish'd far away;

They

They should in strictest friendship dwell
Who the fame Lord obey.

4 Thus will the church below
Refemble that above,

Where fprings of pureft pleasure rife,
And every heart is love.

PSALM XXII.

Viciffitudes of life under the direction of divine wisdom and goodness.

I AS various as the moon.

Is man's eftate below;

To his bright day of gladness foon
Succeeds a night of woe:

2 The night of woe refigns

3

It's darkness and it's grief;

Again the morn of comfort fhines,
And brings our fouls relief.

Yet not from fickle chance

These varying scenes arife;

Our dark and brighter hours advance
By laws fupremely wife.

4 Their portion comes to all
From God's unerring will;
Nor ever is the good too small,
Nor yet too great the ill.

2

Let man conform his mind
To every changing state;

Be joyful now, and now refign'd,
And the great iffue wait.

PSALM XXIII.

Praife to God from all nations.

YE nations, praise the Lord,
Each in a different tongue;
In every language learn his word,
And let his name be fung.

While angels found his praise
In heaven, with nobler powers;
On earth, let us his honors raise;
Their God is alfo ours.

3 Praise him with awe profound; Let knowledge lead the fong; Nor mock him with a folemn found

Upon a thoughtless tongue.

4 Still
