2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sov'reign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
3 I yield my powers to thy command,
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.

24. For his Providence and Grace. L.M.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens, &c.-PSALM xxxvi. 5-9.

1 HIGH in the heav'ns, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break thro' every cloud,
That veils and darkens thy designs.

2 For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

3 Thy providence, how kind and large!
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.

4 From the provisions of thy house
Our souls are fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.

5 Life, like a fountain, rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promis'd in thy word!

25. For Redemption. 7s.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will towards men.-)
-LUKE ii. 14.

1 GLORY be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth, and man forgiv'n,
Man, the well-belov'd of heav'n.
2 CHRIST Our Lord and God we own,
CHRIST the Father's only Son :
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.

3 Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou;
Jesus, in thy name we pray,
Take, O take our sins away.
4 Pow'rful advocate with God,
Justify us by thy blood;

Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou.

26. Salvation. 104th.

PSALM XCIII.

1 YE servants of God, your master proclaim,
And publish abroad his wonderful name;
The name all-victorious of Jesus extol;
His kingdom is glorious, he rules over all.

2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
And still he is nigh, his presence we have;
With glad exultation his triumph we sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our king.

3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne,
Let all cry aloud, and honour the Son;
Our Jesus's praises the angels proclaim;
Fall down on their faces, and worship the
Lamb.

4 Then let us adore, and give him his right; All glory and pow'r, and wisdom and might, All honour and blessing, with angels above; And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.-PSALM xxxv. 9.

1 SALVATION! O melodious sound
To wretched dying men!
Salvation that from God proceeds,
And leads to God again!

2 But O! may a degen'rate soul,
Sinful and weak as mine,
Presume to raise a trembling eye
To blessings so divine!

3 The lustre of so bright a bliss
My feeble heart o'erbears;
And unbelief almost perverts
The promise into tears.

4 My Saviour-God, no voice but thine
These dying hopes can raise :
Speak thy salvation to my soul,
And turn its tears to praise.

5 My Saviour-God, this broken voice
Transported shall proclaim,
And call on all th' angelic harps
To sound so sweet a name.

28. Praise to the Trinity. 148th.

1 We give immortal praise

To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here,
And better hopes above :
He sent his own
Eternal Son,

To die for sins

That man had done.

2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting woe:

And now he lives,

And now he reigns,

And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,

Whose new-creating pow'r
Makes the dead sinner live;

His work completes
The great design,
And fills the soul
With joy divine.

4 Almighty God! to Thee
Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One!
Where reason fails

With all her pow'rs,
There faith prévails,

And love adores.

29. Praise to the Trinity. 8s.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.-EPH. ii. 18.

I O Father, thou fountain of love,
Flowing out to lost sinners below:
O Jesus, sent down from above,
All blessings on us to bestow;

2 And, O thou blest Spirit of God,
Proceeding from Father and Son,
Now fix in our hearts thine abode,
Complete the salvation begun.

3 Jehovah! the great One in Three
Our Covenant God we adore;

With joy we'll ascribe unto thee
All glory and praise evermore.
