SUNDAY-SCHOOL SERVICES. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. O fear the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil and do good: seek peace and pursue it. eyes The of the Lord are upon the righteous; and His ears are open unto their cry. The Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants and none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate. 12. PSALM 95. O come, let us sing unto the Lord: Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, And make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, And a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: The strength of the hills is His also. O come, let us worship and bow down: And we are the people of His pasture; and the sheep of His hand. 13. PSALM 100. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord, He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves. xxi We are 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 bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting. And His truth endureth to all generations. 14. Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven. The entrance of Thy word giveth light. The testimony of the Lord is sure, The statutes of the Lord are right, The commandment of the Lord is pure, Enlightening the eyes. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word. 15. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, I will delight myself in Thy statutes: I will not forget Thy word. The word of the Lord is quick and powerful. A discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, In all wisdom. 16. Sanctify them through Thy truth; All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, Which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in, From this time forth, and even for ever more. 18. PSALM 122. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within Thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, Unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. For there are set thrones of judgment, And prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good. 19. PSALM 132. Arise, O Lord, into Thy rest: Thou, and the ark of Thy strength. Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness: and let Thy saints shout for joy. For Thy servant David's sake; turn not away the face of Thine anointed. The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David: He shall not turn from it. Of the fruit of thy body, will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep My covenant, and My testimony that I will teach them: their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the Lord hath chosen Zion: He hath desired it for His habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 1 OPENING.
