HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.

Holy, holy, holy, O Lord of Hosts. Full is the heaven, full is the earth of Thy Glory. E'en heavenly hosts proclaim His praises. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, and blessed be His glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with His glory.

245.

TEACH ME THE WAY OF THY STATUTES.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of Thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end. Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments, then will I praise Thy glorious name forevermore. Show me, O Lord, the way of Thy salvation, for in Thy right is fullness of joy and life forevermore.

246.

O BE JOYFUL IN THE LORD.

(Psalm 100.)

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands! Serve the Lord with gladness, and come before His presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord He is God. It is He that hath We are

made us and not we ourselves.

His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him, and praise His name. For the Lord is gracious. His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth from generation to generation.

247.

LIFT UP THINE EYES.

Lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence
cometh help. Thy help cometh from the
Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
He hath said, thy foot shall not be moved.
Thy keeper will never slumber.

248.

GREAT ARE THE DOINGS OF THE LORD.

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, then were we like them that dreamed. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy. Then said they among the heathen, the Lord hath done great things for them.

He that goes forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again rejoicing, and bringing his sheaves with him.

249.

I WILL CALL UPON THEE.

I will call upon Thee, for Thou wilt hear me, O God!

Incline Thine ear unto me and hear my cry. Show Thy marvelous loving kindness.

O, Thou that savest by Thy right hand them that put their trust in Thee.

Keep me as the apple of Thine eye, hide me beneath the shadow of Thy wings,

From the wicked that oppress me and from mine enemies who compass me about. As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awake after Thy likeness.

250.

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH.

The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

I will praise Thee, for Thou hast heard me and art become my salvation.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

This is the Lord's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Thou art my God, and I will praise Thee, and I will exalt Thee.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is God, for His mercy endureth for ever.

251.

HEAR, LORD, HEAR US.

Hear, Lord, hear us, when we call upon Thee. O Lord, let me never be confounded, for in Thee, Lord, I trusted. Lord, be Thou my helper; hear Thou me graciously, Thou God of my salvation.

Let Thy loving mercy ever be upon us, like as we trust in Thee. Hear us, Lord, O hear

us.

252.

GREAT IS JEHOVAH THE LORD.

Great is Jehovah the Lord. The heavens and the earth proclaim His power and His might. 'Tis heard in the crash of the storm, in the wild torrent's loud impetuous roar. Great is Jehovah the Lord; wondrous His power and might. At His command the trees put forth their opening leaves, and valleys wave bright with golden corn; with lovely flowers the fields are decked, and stars in splendor fill the vault of heaven. Heard with dread in the thunder's deep blast, and seen in flames of lightning. But chief in His great loving kindness shines forth Jehovah's boundless' might. In His loving kindness shines forth the boundless power of God. Raise your prayerful hearts on high, and hope for mercy, and trust in Him.

253.

GOD IS OUR HOPE AND STRENGTH.

God is our hope and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof

roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

254.

GREAT IS THE LORD.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.

We have thought of Thy loving kindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.

And as Thy heaven, so is Thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, Thy righteousness. For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even unto death.

255.

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
