PSALMS.

6 Then shall my cheerful powers rejoice At grace and favour so divine; Nor will I change my happy choicet For all their corn and all their wine.

PSALM 4. 345 8. C. M.

An evening Psalm.

1 LORD, thou wilt hear me when I pray;

I am for ever thine: I fear before thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin.

2 And while I rest my weary head From cares and business free, ' Tis sweet conversing on my bed With my own heart and thee.

3 I pay this evening sacrifice;

And when my work is done, Great God, my faith and hope relies Upon thy grace alone.

4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace I'll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.

PSALM 5. C. M.

For the Lord's- day morning.

1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye;

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before whose sight The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand.

4 But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there; I will frequent thine holy court And worship in thy fear.
