Jefus rifing from the tomb

Scatters all it's difmal gloom.
Alleluia.

2 Shout, ye faints, in rapturous fong,
Let the ftrains be fweet and ftrong:
Let the earth's remoteft bound

Hear the heart-reviving found.
Alleluia.

3 Join the praise, ye heavenly choir,
Let our joys your fongs infpire:
What is now death's dreaded fting?
Where thy terrors, vanquish'd king?

Alleluia.

PSALM XXVI.

Peace, comfort, and hope the fruits of a good heart and life.

1 IF folid happiness we prize,

Within our breast the bleffing lies;

They err who rove abroad:

The world has little to bestow,

From well-form'd hearts our peace must flow, Hearts that delight in God.

2 We'll therefore relifh with content

Whate'er his providence hath fent;
Check each afpiring aim;

Our

Our views conforming to our power,
With prudence we'll employ our store,
And praise the giver's name :

3 We'll praife him too tho' troubles rife,
Or feeming bleffings he denies;

All is for good design'd:
Obedience is our wifest part,
And praises from the pious heart
His kind acceptance find.

4 Thro' life in peace we'll hope to go,
While all its paths, of joy and woe,
With holy care we tread;

Thus too, without distress or fear
That awful voice we'll hope to hear
Which calls us to the dead.

5 For confcience, like a faithful friend,
Shall thro' the gloomy vale attend
To aid our dying breath;

And faith fhall fix our thankful eye
On manfions of unmingled joy,
Beyond the reach of death.

PSALM XXVII.

PSALM XXVII.

Inftruction and comfort from the works and word of

God.

1 THE glory of their builder, God,
The lofty heavens declare abroad,
Thro' all their vast expanse:
Love, power, and wisdom are display'd
By morning light and evening fhade,
As both in turns advance.

2 While all his works reveal the Lord, His name is written in his word; That perfect rule of life;

3

Here truth and duty we difcern,

And each with greater ease may learn,
Than in the schools of ftrife.

The choiceft treasure here is found,
The sweetest comforts here abound,

To enrich and cheer the mind:
Attention to thy laws who gives,
And by thofe facred precepts lives,
A great reward doth find.

4 But who can tell how oft he ftrays
From pure religion's holy ways,

In deed, or thought, or word?

Of

Of heedless faults wash off the ftain ;
And from all wilful fins restrain ;
Be wilful fin abhorr'd.

5 May every deed, and word, and thought,
To truth's and virtue's standard brought,
Be pleasing in thy fight.

On thee, O Lord, our heavenly friend,
For grace and mercy we depend,

To fet and keep us right.

PSALM XXVIII.

BR.

Gratitude to God the author of all earthly comforts.

1 HAPPY man whom God doth aid
God our fouls and bodies made,
God on us, in gracious fhowers,
Bleffings every moment pours.

2 Parents, friends, 'twas God bestow'd,
Life and all defcends from God:
His the earth on which we tread,
He it's fruitful vallies fpread.

3 God revives us with his air,
Clothes us with whate'er we wear,
Feeds us with the food we eat,
Cheers us with his light and heat.

4 Give him, then, oh, ever give

Thanks for all that ye receive:
Man we for his kindness love,

How much more our God above?

WE.

PSALM XXIX.

Thanks to God at the clofe of public worship for the
gofpel, and prayer for the due improvement of it.
I LORD, difmifs us with thy bleffing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us, each thy love poffeffing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.

2 Thanks we give and adoration
For thy gofpel's joyful found;
May the fruits of thy falvation
In our hearts and lives abound.

PSALM XXX.

God the creator, difpofer, and judge of men.

1 TO bless the great God

Prepare, every voice,
Prepare, every heart,
His high praise to fing:
In him, their creator,
Let all men rejoice;
Ye heirs of his favor

Exult in your king.
