2 His reign hath no end,

His hand who can stay?

His wifdom ne'er errs,

His truth never fails.
They are fafe in his friendship,
Who walk in his way;
To them, thro' all changes,
Still mercy prevails.

PSALM XXXI.

All men, especially Britons, call'd to the praise of God.
I LET thy various realms, O earth,
Praises yield to heaven's high Lord
Praise him, all of human birth,
And his wondrous acts record.

2 Health and plenty crown our land,
We have freedom, truth, and peace:
Ever bounteous is his hand;
Never let your praises ceafe.

PSALM XXXII.

God our shepherd.

1 LO, my fhepherd is divine, Care fhall never more be mine;

ME.

In his paftures fair and large

He fhall tend his happy charge.

2 When I faint with fummer's heat He fhall lead my weary feet

3

To the streams that, ftill and flow,
Thro' the verdant meadows flow.

He my foul anew fhall frame,
And, his mercy to proclaim,
When thro' devious paths I ftray,
Guide my steps the better way.
4 Tho' the dreary vale I tread.
By the fhades of death o'erfpread,
There I walk from terror free
While protected, Lord, by thee.

5 Thou haft rais'd my drooping head,
Thou my daily table spread;
By thee guarded from my foes
I have fure and fweet repofe.

6 Till my latest hour draws near
I will truft my fhepherd's care:
To my fuccor he will come
And conduct me safely home.

PSALM XXXIII.

ME.

The true business of life, and the happy issue of a patient perfeverance in it.

1 BE this, O Lord, our bufinefs here, With ferious industry and fear,

A a 2

Our

Our future bliss to enfure;

Thine holy counfels to fulfil;
To fuffer all thy righteous will;
And to the end endure.

2 Then, Lord, our willing fouls receive, Tranflated from below, to live

And reign in heaven above, Where faith is fweetly loft in fight; And hope, in full, fupreme, delight And everlasting love.

WE.

PSALM XXXIV.

Univerfal praife.

I PRAISE to thee, thou great creator,
Praise be thine from every tongue :
Join, my foul, with every creature,
Join the universal song.

2 For ten thousand bleffings given,
For the richest gifts bestow'd

Sound his praise thro' earth and heaven,
Sound Jehovah's praise aloud.
