LIFE OF DR. WATTS.
He therefore repaired in 1690 to an academy taught by Mr. Rowe, where he had for his companions and fellow- students Mr. Hughes the poet, and Dr. Horte, afterwards archbishop of Tuam. Some Latin essays, supposed to have been written as exercises at this academy, show a degree of knowledge, both philosophical and theological, such as very few attain by a much longer course of study.
He was, as he hints in his Miscellanies, a maker of verses from fifteen to fifty, and in his youth he appears to have paid attention to Latin poetry. His verses to his brother in the glyconic measure, written when he was seventeen, are remarkably easy and elegant. Some of his other odes are deformed by the Pindaric folly then prevailing, and are written with such neglect of all metrical rules as is without example among the ancients; but his diction, though perhaps not always exactly pure, has such copiousness and splendour, as shows that he was but a very little distance from excellence.
His method of study, was to impress the contents of his books upon his memory by abridging them; and by interleaving them, to amplify one system with supplements from another.
1234
With the congregation of his tutor, Mr. Rowe, who were, I believe, independents, he communicated in his nineteenth year.
At the age of twenty he left the academy, and spent two years in study and devotion at the house of his father, who treated him with great tenderness; and had the happiness, indulged to few parents, of living to see his son eminent for literature, and venerable for piety.
He was then entertained by Sir John Hartopp five years, as domestic tutor to his son; and in that time particularly devoted himself to the study of the Holy Scriptures; and being chosen assistant to Dr. Chauncey, preached the first time on the birth- day that completed his twenty- fourth year; probably considering that as the day of a second nativity, by which he entered on a new period of existence.
In about three years he succeeded Dr. Chauncey; but soon after his entrance on his charge,

LIFE OF DR. WATTS.
he was seized by a dangerous illness, which sunk him to such weakness, that the congregation thought an assistant necessary, and appointed Mr. Price. His health then returned gradually, and he performed his duty, till ( 1712) he was seized by a fever of such violence and continuance, that, from the feebleness which it brought upon him he never perfectly recovered.
This calamitous state made the compassion of his friends necessary, and drew upon him the attention of Sir Thomas Abney, who received him into his house; where, with a constancy of friendship and uniformity of conduct not often to be found, he was treated for thirty- six years with all the kindness that friendship could prompt, and all the attention that respect could dictate. Sir Thomas died about eight years afterwards; but he continued with the lady and her daughters to the end of his life. The lady died about a year after him.
A coalition like this, a state in which the notions of patronage and dependence were overpowered by the perception of reciprocal benefits, deserves a particular memorial; and I will not withhold from the reader Dr. Gibbons's representation, to which regard is to be paid, as to the narrative of one who writes what he knows, and what is known likewise to multitudes besides.

" Our next observation shall be made upon " that remarkably kind providence which " brought the Doctor into Sir Thomas Ab" ney's family, and continued him there till " his death, a period of no less than thirty- six years. In the midst of his sacred labours " for the glory of God, and good of his gene" ration, he is seized with a most violent and " threatening fever, which leaves him oppressed with great weakness, and puts a stop at least to his public services for four years. In this distressing season, doubly so " to his active and pious spirit, he is invited " to Sir Thomas Abney's family, nor ever removes from it till he had finished his days. " Here he enjoyed the uninterrupted demon" strations of the truest friendship. Here, " without any care of his own, he had every thing which could contribute to the enjoy" ment of life, and favour the unwearied pur"

" suits of his studies. Here he dwelt in a " family, which, for piety, order, harmony, " and every virtue, was an house of God. " Here he had the privilege of a country recess, the fragrant bower, the spreading lawn, " the flowery garden, and other advantages to " soothe his mind, and aid his restoration to " health; to yield him, whenever he chose " them, most grateful intervals from his labo" rious studies, and enable him to return to " them with redoubled vigour and delight. " Had it not been for this most happy event,

he might, as to outward view, have feebly, " it may be painfully, dragged on through many more years of languor and inability " for public service, and even for profitable " study, or perhaps might have sunk into his grave under the overwhelming load of in46 firmities, in the midst of his days; and thus " the church and world would have been de" prived of those many excellent sermons and " works which he drew up and published dur. " ing his long residence in this family. In a " few years after his coming hither Sir Thomas " Abney dies; but his amiable consort sur" vives, who shows the Doctor the same respect " and friendship as before, and most happily " for him and great numbers besides; for, as " her riches were great, her generosity and " munificence were in full proportion; her " thread of life was drawn out to a great age, " even beyond that of the Doctor's; and thus " this excellent man, through her kindness, " and that of her daughter, the present Mrs. Elizabeth Abney, who in a like degree es" teemed and honoured him, enjoyed all the " benefits and felicities he experienced at his " first entrance into this family, till his days were numbered and finished, and, like a " shock of corn in its season, he ascended into " the regions of perfect and immortal life and " joy.".

If this quotation has appeared long, let it be considered, that it comprises an account of sixand- thirty years, and those the years of Dr. Watts.

From the time of his reception into this family, his life was no otherwise diversified than by successive publications. The series of his works I am not able to deduce; their number and their variety show the intense

LIFE OF DR. WATTS.
ness of his industry and the extent of his capacity.
He was one of the first authors that taught the Dissenters to court attention by the graces of language. Whatever they had among them before, whether of learning or acuteness, was commonly obscured and blunted by coarseness and inelegance of style. He showed them, that zeal and purity might be expressed and enforced by polished diction.
He continued to the end of his life the teacher of a congregation, and no reader of his works can doubt his fidelity or diligence. In the pulpit, though his low stature, which very little exceeded five feet, graced him with no advantages of appearance, yet the gravity and propriety of his utterance made his discourses very efficacious. I once mentioned the reputation which Mr. Foster had gained by his proper delivery to my friend Dr. Hawkesworth, who told me, that in the art of pronunciation he was far inferior to Dr. Watts.
Such was his flow of thoughts, and such his promptitude of language, that in the latter part of his life he did not precompose his cursory sermons; but having adjusted the heads, and sketched out some particulars, trusted for success to his extemporary powers.
He did not endeavour to assist his eloquence by any gesticulations; for, as no corporeal actions have any correspondence with theological truth, he did not see how they could enforce it.
At the conclusion of weighty sentences he gave time, by a short pause, for the proper impression.
To stated and public instruction he added familiar visits and personal application, and was careful to improve the opportunities which conversation afforded of diffusing and increasing the influence of religion.
By his natural temper he was quick of resentment; but by his established and habitual practice, he was gentle, modest, and inoffensive. His tenderness appeared in his attention to children, and to the poor. To the poor, while he lived in the family of his friend, he allowed the third part of his annual revenue, though the whole was not a hundred a year; and for children, he condescended to lay aside the scholar, the philosopher, and the wit, to write little poems of devotion, and systems of instrue

tion adapted to their wants and capacities, from the dawn of reason through its gradations of advance in the morning of life. Every man, acquainted with the common principles of human action, will look with veneration on the writer who is at one time combating Locke, and at another making a catechism for children in their fourth year. A voluntary descent from the dignity of science is perhaps the hardest lesson that humility can teach.
As his mind was capacious, his curiosity excursive, and his industry continual, his writings are very numerous, and his subjects various. With his theological works I am only enough acquainted to admire his meekness of opposition, and his mildness of censure. It was not only in his book but in his mind that orthodoxy was united with charity.
Of his philosophical pieces, his Logic has been received into the universities, and therefore wants no private recommendation; if he owes part of it to Le Clerc, it must be considered that no man who undertakes merely to methodise or illustrate a system, pretends to be its author.
In his metaphysical disquisitions, it was observed by the late learned Dr. Dyer, that he confounded the idea of space with that of empty space, and did not consider that though space might be without matter, yet matter being extended, could not be without space.
Few books have been perused by me with greater pleasure than his Improvement of the Mind, of which the radical principles may, indeed, be found in Locke's Conduct on the Understanding, but they are so expanded and ramified by Watts, as to confer upon him the merit of a work in the highest degree useful and pleasing. Whoever has the care of instructing others, may be charged with deficiency in his duty if this book is not recommended.
I have mentioned his treatises of Theology as distinct from his other productions; but the truth is, that whatever he took in hand was, by his incessant solicitude for souls, converted to Theology. As piety predominated in his mind, it is diffused over his works; under his direction it may be truly said, Theologia Philosophia ancillatur, philosophy is subservient to evangelical instruction; it is difficult to read a page without learning, or at least wishing to be better.

LIFE OF DR. WATTS.
The attention is caught by indirect instruction, and he that sat down only to reason, is on a sudden compelled to pray.
It was therefore, with great propriety, that, in 1728, he received from Edinburgh and Aberdeen an unsolicited diploma, by which he became a Doctor of Divinity. Academical honours would have more value, if they were always bestowed with equal judgment.
He continued many years to study and to preach, and to do good by his instruction and example; till at last the infirmities of age disabled him from the more laborious part of his ministerial functions, and being no longer capable of public duty, he offered to remit the salary appendant to it; but his congregation would not accept the resignation.
By degrees his weakness increased, and at last confined him to his chamber and his bed; where he was worn gradually away without pain, till he expired, Nov. 25, 1748, in the seventy- fifth year of his age.
Few men have left behind such purity of cha racter, or such monuments of laborious piety. He has provided instruction for all ages, from those who are lisping their first lessons, to the enlightened readers of Malbranche and Locke: he has left neither corporeal nor spiritual nature unexamined; he has taught the art of reasoning, and the science of the stars.
ance;
His character, therefore, must be formed from the multiplicity and diversity of his attainments, rather than from any single performfor it would not be safe to claim for him the highest rank in any single denomination of literary dignity; yet, perhaps, there was nothing in which he would not have excelled, if he had not divided his powers to different pursuits.
As a poet, had he been only a poet, he would probably have stood high among the authors with whom he is now associated. For his judgment was exact, and he noted beauties and faults with very nice discernment; his imagination, as the Dacian Battle proves, was vigorous and active, and the stores of knowledge were large by which his fancy was to be supplied. His ear was well tuned, and his
diction was elegant and copious. But his devotional poetry is, like that of others, unsatisfactory. The paucity of its topics enforces per

LIFE OF DR. WATTS.
petual repetition, and the sanctity of the matter rejects the ornaments of figurative diction. It is sufficient for Watts to have done better than others what no man has done well.
His poems, on other subjects, seldom rise higher than might be expected from the amusements of a Man of Letters, and have different degrees of value as they are more or less laboured, or as the occasion was more or less favourable to invention.
He writes too often without regular measures, and too often in blank verse; the rhymes are not always sufficiently correspondent. He is particularly unhappy in coining names expressive of characters. His lines are commonly smooth and easy, and his thoughts always religiously pure; but who is there that, to so much piety and innocence, does not wish for a greater measure of sprightliness and vigour? He is at least one of the few poets with whom youth and innocence may be safely pleased; and happy will be that reader whose mind is disposed by his verses, or his prose, to imitate him in all but his non- conformity, to copy his benevolence to man, and his reverence to God.

PREFACE.
THE following extract from the Doctor's Preface, as it contains the plan of his version of the Psalms, may be found useful:
" I come therefore to explain my own design, which is this, To accommodate the Book of Psalms to Christian worship. And in order to this, it is necessary to divest David and Asaph, & c. of every other character but that of a psalmist and a saint, and to make them always speak the common sense and language of a Christian. " Attempting the work with this view, I have entirely omitted several whole psalms, and large pieces of many others; and have chosen out of all of them, such parts only as might easily and naturally be accommodated to the various occasions of the Christian life, or at least might afford us some beautiful allusion to Christian affairs. These I have copied and explained in the general style of the gospel; nor have I confined my expressions to any particular party or opinion; that in words prepared for public worship, and for the lips of multitudes, there might not be a syllable offensive to sincere Christians, whose judgments may differ in the lesser matters of religion.
" Where the Psalmist uses sharp invectives against his personal enemies, I have endeavoured to turn the edge of them against our spiritual adversaries, sin, Satan, and temptation. Where the flights of his faith and love are sublime, I have often sunk the expressions within the reach of an ordinary Christian: where the words imply some peculiar wants or distresses, joys or blessings, I have used words of greater latitude and comprehension, suited to the general circumstances of men.
" Where the original runs in the form of prophecy concerning Christ and his salvation, I have given an historical turn to the sense: there is no necessity that we should always sing in the obscure and doubtful style of prediction, when the things foretold are brought into open light by a full accomplishment. Where the writers of the New Testament have cited or alluded to any part of the Psalms, I have often indulged the liberty of paraphrase, according to the words of Christ or his Apostles. And

PREFACE.
surely this may be esteemed the word of God still, though borrowed from several parts of the Holy Scripture. Where the Psalmist describes religion by the fear of God, I have often joined faith and love to it. Where he speaks of the pardon of sin, through the mercies of God, I have added the merits of a Saviour. Where he talks of sacrificing goats or bullocks, I rather choose to mention the sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God. When he attends the ark with shouting into Zion, I sing the ascension of my Saviour into heaven, or his presence in his church on earth. Where he promises abundance of wealth, honour, and long life, I have changed some of these typical blessings for grace, glory, and life eternal, which are brought to light by the gospel, and promised in the New Testament. And I am fully satisfied, that more honour is done to our blessed Saviour, by speaking his name, his graces, and actions, in his own language, according to the brighter discoveries he hath now made, than by going back again to the Jewish forms of worship, and the language of types and figures."
Of choosing or finding the Psalm.
By consulting the Index at the end, any one may find hymns very proper for many occasions of the Christian life and worship; though no copy of David's Psalter can provide for all, as I have shown in the Preface to the large edition.
Or, if he remembers the first line of any Psalm, the Table of the first lines will direct where to find it.
Of singing in course.
If any shall think it best to sing the Psalms in order, in churches or families, it may be done with profit, provided those Psalms be omitted that refer to special occurrences of nations, churches, or single Christians.
Of dividing the Psalms.
If the Psalm be too long for the time or custom of singing, there are pauses in many of them at which you may properly rest; or you may leave out those verses which are included with crotchets[], without disturbing the sense: or, in some places, you may begin to sing at the pause.

PSALMS OF DAVID,
IN METRE.
PSALM 1. Common Metre.
The way and end of the righteous and the wicked.
1
BL LEST is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer's seat:
2 But in the statutes of the Lord Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night.
3[ He, like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.]
4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine, While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine.
5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm.
6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Amongst the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge, at his right hand, Appoints his saints a place.
7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

PSALM 1. S. M.
The saint happy, the sinner miserable. HE man is
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place;
But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night.
He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf his name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit.
Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind.
How will they bear to stand Before that judgment- seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet?
He knows, and he approves
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.
PSALM 1. L. M.

Shun the broad way that sinners go; Who hates the place where atheists meet, And fears to talk as scoffers do.

3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green; And heaven will shine with kindest beams On every work his hands begin.

PSALMS.
4 But sinners find their counsels crost; As chaff before the tempest flies, So shall their hopes be blown and lost, When the last trumpet shakes the skies. 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race; The dreadful Judge with stern command Divides him to a different place.
6" Straight is the way my saints have trod, " I blest the path and drew it plain; " But you would choose the crooked road, " And down it leads to endless pain."

Against the Lord their powers engage His dear anointed to destroy?
2" Come, let us break his bands," they say, " This man shall never give us laws;" And thus they cast his yoke away, And nail'd the monarch to the cross.

For the dear sake of Christ that died.

The book of nature and scripture. Reat God, the heaven's well- order'd frame
1Geclares the glories of thy name;
There thy rich works of wonders shine: A thousand starry beauties there, A thousand radiant marks appear
Of boundless power and skill divine.
2 From night to day, from day to night, The dawning and the dying light
Lectures of heavenly wisdom read; With silent eloquence they raise Our thoughts to our Creator's praise, And neither sound nor language need.
3 Yet their divine instructions run Far as the journies of the sun,
And every nation knows their voice: The sun, like some young bridegroom drest, Breaks from the chambers of the east,
Rolls round and makes the earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his beams abroad, He smiles and speaks his maker God; All nature joins to show thy praise: Thus God in every creature shines: Fair is the book of nature's lines, But fairer is thy book of grace.

5 I love the volumes of thy word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distrest! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, ak Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
6 From the discoveries of thy law The perfect rules of life I draw,
These are my study and delight: Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold, that hath the furnace past, Appears so pleasing to the sight.
7 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes, And warn me where my danger lies: But' tis thy blessed gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free but large reward.

Love to enemies; or, The Love of Christ to sinners typified in David.
1 DEHOLD the love, the generous love
Hark, how his sounding bowels move To his afflicted foes!
2 When they are sick his soul complains, And seems to feel the smart; The spirit of the gospel reigns, And melts his pious heart.
3 How did his flowing tears condole As for a brother dead!
And fasting mortify'd his soul, While for their life he pray'd.
4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns.
50 glorious type of heavenly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with tears.

His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his soul, And leaves no goodness there.
He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil;
He sets his heart, and hand, and head, To practise all that's ill.
But there's a dreadful God, Though men renounce his fear; His justice hid behind the cloud Shall one great day appear.
His truth transcends the sky; In heaven his mercies dwell: Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell.

5 Mine innocence shalt thou display, And make thy judgments known, Fair as the light of dawning day, And glorious as the noon.

5 How many are thy thoughts of love! Thy mercies, Lord, how great! We have not words nor hours enough Their numbers to repeat.

Why should my soul indulge her grief? Hope in the Lord, and praise him too, He is my rest, my sure relief.

Let strangers walk around The city where we dwell, Compass and view thine holy ground, And mark the building well.
The orders of thy house,
The worship of thy court, The cheerful songs, the solemn vows; And make a fair report.
How decent and how wise!
How glorious to behold!
Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorn'd with gold.
The God we worship now
Will guide us till we die, Will be our God while here below, And ours above the sky.
PSALM 49. 6-14. First Part. C. M. Pride and death; or, The vanity of life and riches.
THY doth the man of riches grow
WE To insolence and pride,
To see his wealth and honours flow With every rising tide!

PSALMS.
2[ Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self- same clay,
And boast as though his flesh was born Of better dust than they?]
3 Not all his treasures can procure His soul a short reprieve, Redeem from death one guilty hour, Or make his brother live.
4[ Life is a blessing can't be sold, The ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with gold That men may never die.]
5 He sees the brutish and the wise, The timorous and the brave, Quit their possessions, close their eyes, And hasten to the grave.
6 Yet' tis his inward thought and pride,--" My house shall ever stand; " And that my name may long abide, " I'll give it to my land."
7 Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost, How soon his memory dies! His name is written in the dust Where his own carcass lies.
PAUSE.
8 This is the folly of their way; And yet their sons, as vain. Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again.
9 Men void of wisdom and of grace, If honour raise them high, Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die.
10 Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death feeds upon them there, Till the last trumpet break their sleep In terror and despair.
1
PSALM 49. 14, 15. Second Part. C. M
Death and the resurrection.
E sons of pride, that hate the just, poor, When death has brought you down to dust Your pomp shall rise no more.
75

76
PSALMS.
2 The last great day shall change the scene, When will that hour appear? When shall the just revive, and reign O'er all that scorn'd them here?
3 God will my naked soul receive, When sep'rate from the flesh; And break the prison of the grave To raise my bones afresh.
4 Heaven is my everlasting home, Th' inheritance is sure; Let men of pride their rage resume, But I'll repine no more.
PSALM 49. L. M.
The rich sinner's death, and the saints' resurrection.
1 W
THY do the proud insult the poor ,, And boast the large estates they have? How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
2 They can't redeem one hour from death, With all the wealth in which they trust: Nor give a dying brother breath, When God commands him down to dust.
3 There the dark earth and dismal shade Shall clasp their naked bodies round; That flesh, so delicately fed,
Lies cold, and moulders in the ground.
4 Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies, Laid in the grave for worms to eat; The saints shall in the morning rise, And find th' oppressor at their feet.
5 His honours perish in the dust, And pomp and beauty, birth and blood: That glorious day exalts the just To full dominion o'er the proud.
6 My Saviour shall my life restore, And raise me from my dark abode; My flesh and soul shall part no more, But dwell for ever near my God,

PSALMS.
PSALM 50. 1-6. First Part. C. M. The last judgment; or, The saints rewarded. 1 THE Lord, the Judge, before his throne Bids the whole earth draw nigh, The nations near the rising sun, And near the western sky.
66
2 No more shall bold blasphemers say, Judgment will ne'er begin,' No more abuse his long delay To impudence and sin.
3 Thron'd on a cloud our God shall come, Bright flames prepare his way, Thunder and darkness, fire and storm, Lead on the dreadful day.
4 Heaven from above his call shall hear, Attending angels come,
And earth and hell shall know and fear His justice and their doom.
5" But gather all my saints," he cries, " That made their peace with God " By the Redeemer's sacrifice, " And seal'd it with his blood.
6" Their faith and works brought forth to light " Shall make the world confess " My sentence of reward is right, " And heaven adore my grace."
" O'er all the cattle of the hills " I claim a right divine.
" 2
PSALM 50. 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 23. 2d Part. C.M Obedience is better than sacrifice.
1 HUS saith the Lord," the spacious fields
are mine;
2" I ask no sheep for sacrifice, " Nor bullocks burnt with fire; " To hope and love, to pray and praise, " Is all that I require.
77
3" Call upon me when trouble' s near, " My hand shall set thee free; " Then shall thy thankful lips declare " The honour due to me.

And those that tread my holy ways " Shall my salvation taste."

PSALM 50. 1, 5, 8, 16, 21, 22. Third Part. C.M.
The judgment of hypocrites.
THEN Christ to judgment shall descend,
He calls the nations to attend, And hear his awful word.
1
2" Not for the want of bullocks slain " Will I the world reprove; " Altars and rites and forms are vain, " Without the fire of love.
3" And what have hypocrites to do " To bring their sacrifice? " They call my statutes just and true, " But deal in theft and lies.
4" Could you expect to' scape my sight, " And sin without control? " But I shall bring your crimes to light, " With anguish in your soul."
5 Consider, ye that slight the Lord, Before his wrath appear; If once you fall beneath his sword, There's no deliverer there.
PSALM 50. Third Part. L. M. Hypocrisy exposed.
1 THE Lord, the Judge, his churches warns, Let hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their hope in rites and forms, But make not faith nor love their care.
2 Vile wretches dare rehearse his name With lips of falsehood and deceit; A friend or brother they defame, And soothe and flatter those they hate.
3 They watch to do their neighbours wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's face; They take his covenant on their tongue, But break his laws, abuse his grace.
4 To heaven they lift their hands unclean, Defil'd with lust, defil'd with blood; By night they practise every sin,
By day their mouths draw near to God.

PSALMS.
5 And while his judgments long delay, They grow secure and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful hour.
6 O dreadful hour! when God draws near, And sets their crimes before their eyes! His wrath their guilty souls shall tear, And no deliverer dare to rise.
PSALM 50. To a new Tune. The last judgment.
Ihe Lord the Sovereign sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations, and awakes the north; From east to west the sounding orders spread Through distant worlds and regions of the dead: No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more: behold the day!
79
2 Behold the Judge descends; his guards are nigh; Tempest and fire attend him down the sky: Heaven, earth, and, hell draw near; let all things To hear his justice and the sinner's doom:[ come But gather first my saints,( the Judge commands,) Bring them, ye angels, from their distant lands.

4 I their almighty Saviour and their God,
I am their Judge: ye heavens, proclaim abroad My just eternal sentence, and declare
Those awful truths that sinners dread to hear: Sinners in Zion, tremble and retire;
I doom the painted hypocrite to fire.
5 Not for the want of goats or bullocks slain Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain Without the flames of love; in vain the store Of brutal offerings that were mine before: Mine are the tamer beasts and savage breed,[ feed. Flocks, herds, and fields, and forests where they

First Part. L. M.
A penitent pleading for pardon. HOW pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,
1 S
Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee?
2 My crimes are great, but not surpass The power and glory of thy grace: Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy pardoning love be found.
30 wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain my eyes.
4 My lips with shame my sins confess Against thy law, against thy grace: Lord, should thy judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear.
5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just in death: And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well.

PSALMS.
6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.
PSALM 51. Second Part. L. M. Original and actual sin confessed. ORD, I am vile, conceiv'd in sin; Sprung from the man whos guilty fall Corrupts the race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant- breath, The seeds of sin grow up for death: Thy law demands a perfect heart, But we're defil'd in every part.
1
3[ Great God, create my heart anew, And form my spirit pure and true: O make me wise betimes to spy My danger and my remedy.]
4 Behold I fall before thy face; My only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make me clean; The leprosy lies deep within.
5 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest, Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea, Can wash the dismal stain away.
6 Jesus, my God, thy blood alone Hath power sufficient to atone; Thy blood can make me white as snow; No Jewish types could cleanse me so.
83
7 While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace, Nor flesh, nor soul, hath rest or ease; Lord, let me hear thy pardoning voice, And make my broken bones rejoice.
PSALM 51. Third Part. L. M.

2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banish'd from thy sight: Thine holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more.
4 Though I have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son.
5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice.
6 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemn'd to die.
7 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God.
80 may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song! And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.
PSALM 51. 3-13. First Part. C. M. Original and actual sin confessed and pardoned.
1 LORD, I would spread my sore distress
And guilt before thine eyes; Against thy laws, against thy grace, How high my crimes arise!
2 Should'st thou condemn my soul to hell, And crush my flesh to dust,
Heaven would approve thy vengeance well, And earth must own it just.
3 I from the stock of Adam came
Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin.

PSALMS.
4 Born in a world of guilt, I drew Contagion with my breath And, as my days advanc'd, I grew A juster prey for death.
5 Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With thy forgiving love;
O, make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove.
ز
6 Let not thy Spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from thy face; Create anew my vicious heart, And fill it with thy grace.
7 Then will I make thy mercy known Before the sons of men; Backsliders shall address thy throne, And turn to God again.

PSALM 51. 14-17. Second Part. C. M. Repentance and faith in the blood of Christ.

GOD of mercy! hear my call, My loads of guilt remove; Break down this separating wall That bars me from thy love.
2 Give me the presence of thy grace, Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud thy righteousness, And make thy praise my song.
3 No blood of goats, nor heifers slain, For sin could e'er atone; The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone.

PSALM 55. 1-8, 16-18, 22. C. M. Support for the afflicted and tempted soul.
¹0 GOD, my refuge, hear my cries,

2 Their rage is levell'd at my life, My soul with guilt they load, And fill my thoughts with inward strife, To shake my hope in God.
3 With inward pain my heart- strings sound, I groan with every breath; Horror and fear beset me round Amongst the shades of death.
4 O were I like a feather'd dove, And innocence had wings; I'd fly, and make a long remove From all these restless things.
5 Let me to some wild desert go, And find a peaceful home, Where storms of malice never blow, Temptations never come.

4 My heart is fix'd, my song shall raise Immortal honours to thy Name: Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise, My tongue, the glory of my frame.

Warning to magistrates.
Will ye despise the righteous cause, When th' injur'd poor before you stands? Dare ye condemn the righteous poor, And let rich sinners' scape secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hands?
2 Have ye forgot, or never knew, That God will judge the judges too? High in the heavens his justice reigns; Yet you invade the rights of God, And send your bold decrees abroad,
To bind the conscience in your chains. 3 A poison'd arrow is your tongue, The arrow sharp, the poison strong, And death attends where'er it wounds: You hear no counsels, cries, or tears; So the deaf adder stops her ears
Against the power of charming sounds.

6 Thus shall the vengeance of the Lord Safety and joy to saints afford;
And all that hear shall join and say, " Sure there's a God that rules on high, " A God that hears his children cry, " And will their sufferings well repay.'
PSALM 60. 1-5, 10-12. C. M.
On a day of humiliation for disappointments in war.
LORD, hast thou cast the nation off?
Must we for ever Wilt thou indulge immortal wrath? Shall mercy ne'er return?
2 The terror of one frown of thine Melts all our strength away; Like men that totter drunk with wine, We tremble in dismay.
3 Great Britain shakes beneath thy stroke, And dreads thy threatening hand; O heal the island thou hast broke, Confirm the wavering land.
4 Lift up a banner in the field,
For those that fear thy Name; Save thy beloved with thy shield, And put our foes to shame.
5 Go with our armies to the fight, Like a confederate God; In vain confederate powers unite Against thy lifted rod.

PSALM 62. 5-12. L. M.
No trust in the creatures; or, Faith in divine grace and power.
MY spirit looks to God alone;
My rock and refuge is his throne; In all my fears, in all my straits, My soul on his salvation waits.
2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways, Pour out your hearts before his face: When helpers fail, and foes invade, God is our all- sufficient aid.
3 False are the men of high degree, The baser sort are vanity; Laid in the balance both appear Light as a puff of empty air.
4 Make not increasing gold your trust; Nor set your heart on glittering dust; Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke! And not believe what God hath spoke? 5 Once has his awful voice declar'd,
Once and again my ears have heard, " All power is his eternal due; " He must be fear'd and trusted too."

3 I've seen thy glory and thy power Thro' all thy temple shine; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine.
4 Not all the blessings of a feast Can please my soul so well, As when thy richer grace I taste, And in thy presence dwell.
5 Not life itself with all her joys Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As thy forgiving love.

PSALM 63. 6-10. Second Part. C. M. Midnight thoughts recollected.

3 My spirit labours up thine hill, And climbs the heavenly road; But thy right hand upholds me still, While I pursue my God.
4 Thy mercy stretches o'er my head The shadow of thy wings; My heart rejoices in thine aid, My tongue awakes and sings.

5 But the destroyers of my peace Shall fret and rage in vain; The tempter shall for ever cease, And all my sins be slain.

5 Not fruits nor wines that tempt our taste, Not all the joys our senses know, Could make me so divinely blest, Or raise my cheerful passions so. 6 My life itself without thy love
No taste of pleasure could afford; " Twould but a tiresome burthen prove, If I were banish'd from the Lord.

7 Amidst the wakeful hours of night, When busy cares afflict my head, One thought of thee gives new delight, And adds refreshment to my bed.

Within thy churches, Lord, I long to find my place, Thy power and glory to behold, And feel thy quickening grace. For life without thy love No relish can afford; Nojoy can be compar'd to this, To serve and please the Lord. To thee I'll lift my hands, And praise thee while I live; Not the rich dainties of a feast Such food or pleasure give.

10 Canst thou for ever sit, and hear Thine holy Name profan'd? And still thy jealousy forbear, And still withhold thine hand?
11 What strange deliverance hast thou shown In ages long before! And now no other God we own, No other God adore.
12 Thou didst divide the raging sea By thy resistless might, To make thy tribes a wondrous way, And then secure their flight.
13 Is not the world of nature thine, The darkness and the day? Didst thou not bid the morning shine, And mark the sun his way?
14 Hath not thy power form'd every coast, And set the earth its bounds, With summer's heat and winter's frost, In their perpetual rounds?
15 And shall the sons of earth and dust That sacred power blaspheme? Will not thy hand that form'd them first, Avenge thine injur'd Name?
16 Think on the covenant thou hast made, And all thy words of love; Nor let the birds of prey invade And vex thy mourning dove.
17 Our foes would triumph in our blood, And make our hope their jest; Plead thy own cause, almighty God! And give thy children rest.

PSALM 75. L. M.
Power and government from God alone. Applied to the glorious Revolution by King William, or the happy accession of King George to the Throne.
10 thee, most holy and most high,
To thee we bring our thankful praise; Thy works declare thy Name is nigh, Thy works of wonder and of grace. 2 Britain was doom'd to be a slave,
Her frame dissolv'd, her fears were great; When God a new supporter gave To bear the pillars of the state.
3 He from thy hand receiv'd his crown, And sware to rule by wholesome laws: His foot shall tread th' oppressor down, His arm defend the righteous cause.
4 Let haughty sinners sink their pride, Nor lift so high their scornful head; But lay their foolish thoughts aside, And own the king that God hath made,
115
5 Such honours never come by chance, Nor do the winds promotion blow; ' Tis God the Judge doth one advance, ' Tis God that lays another low. 6 No vain pretence to royal birth Shall fix a tyrant on the throne: God, the great Sovereign of the earth, Will rise and make his justice known.
7[ His hand holds out the dreadful cup Of vengeance, mix'd with various plagues, To make the wicked drink them up, Wring out and taste the bitter dregs. 8 Now shall the Lord exalt the just, And while he tramples on the proud, And lays their glory in the dust, My lips shall sing his praise aloud.]

4 What are the earth's wide kingdoms else But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells Is glorious more than they.
5' Twas Sion's king that stopp'd the breath Of captains and their bands: The men of might slept fast in death, And never found their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, Both horse and chariot fell; Who knows the terrors of thy rod? Thy vengeance who can tell?
7 What power can stand before thy sight When once thy wrath appears? When heaven shines round with dreadful The earth lies still and fears. [ light,
8 When God in his own sovereign ways Comes down to save th' opprest, The wrath of man shall work his praise, And he'll restrain the rest.
9[ Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring, Ye princes, fear his frown: His terror shakes the proudest king, And cuts an army down.

My soul refus'd relief;
I thought on God the just and wise, But thoughts increas'd my grief.
3 Still I complain'd, and still opprest, My heart began to break; My God, thy wrath forbid my rest, And kept my eyes awake.
4 My overwhelming sorrows grew Till I could speak no more: Then I within myself withdrew, And call'd thy judgments o'er.
5 I call'd back years and ancient times, When I beheld thy face; My spirit search'd for secret crimes That might withhold thy grace.
6 I call'd thy mercies to my mind, Which I enjoy'd before; And will the Lord no more be kind? His face appear no more?
7 Will he for ever cast me off? His promise ever fail? Has he forgot his tender love? Shall anger still prevail?
8 But I forbid this hopeless thought, This dark despairing frame, Remembering what thy hand hath wrought, Thy hand is still the same.
9 I'll think again of all thy ways; And talk thy wonders o'er; Thy wonders of recovering grace, When flesh could hope no more.

4 The sons of good old Jacob seem'd Abandon'd to their foes; But his almighty arm redeem'd The nation that he chose.
5 Israel, his people and his sheep, Must follow where he calls; He bid them venture through the deep, And made the waves their walls.
6 The waters saw thee, mighty God! The waters saw thee come; Backward they fled, and frighted stood, To make thine armies room.
7 Strange was thy journey through the sea, Thy footsteps, Lord, unknown: Terrors attend the wondrous way That brings thy mercies down.
8[ Thy voice with terror in the sound Through clouds and darkness broke; All heaven in lightning shone around, And earth with thunder shook.
9 Thine arrows through the skies were hurl'd; How glorious is the Lord! Surprise and trembling seiz'd the world, And his own saints ador'd.

3 They saw the plagues on Egypt light, From his revenging hand: What dreadful tokens of his might Spread o'er the stubborn land!
4 They saw him cleave the mighty sea, And march'd in safety through, With watery walls to guard their way, Till they had scap'd the foe.

5 A wondrous pillar mark'd the road, Compos'd of shade and light: By day it form'd a sheltering cloud, A leading fire by night.

4 But they in murmuring language said, " Manna is all our feast; " We loathe this light, this airy bread: " We must have flesh to taste."
5" Ye shall have flesh to please your lust," The Lord in wrath reply'd, And sent them quails like sand or dust, Heap'd up from side to side.
6 He gave them all their own desire, And greedy as they fed,
His vengeance burnt with secret fire, And smote the rebels dead.
7 When some were slain, the rest return'd, And sought the Lord with tears: Under the rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their fears.
8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, Till by his gracious hand, The nation he resolv'd to save, Possess'd the promis'd land.

2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful wonders God had wrought! Then they provoke him to his face, Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace.
3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain,
And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march through unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days.
121
4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer and their God.
5 Their prayers and vows before him rise As flattering words, or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to his covenant and his love.
6 Yet did his sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserv'd to live; His anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle flame it burn'd.

How short the term! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive,
We rather sigh and groan than live.

3 Ye tempests, rage no more; ye floods, be still, And the mad world submissive to his will: Built on his truth, his church must ever stand; Firm are his promises, and strong his hand; See his own sons, when they appear before him, Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him.

Where beasts of midnight howl; There the sad raven finds her place, And there the screaming owl
6 Dark dismal thoughts and boding fears Dwell in my troubled breast; While sharp reproaches wound my ears, Nor give my spirit rest.

2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise; Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence, and forgot?
3' Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom, and forgives The hourly follies of our lives.
4 The vices of the mind he heals, And cures the pains that nature feels; Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat'ning graves.
5 Our youth decay'd his power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heavenly food.

156
PSALMS.
6 He sees th' oppressor and th' opprest, And often gives the sufferers rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day.
7[ His power he show'd by Moses' hands, And gave to Israel his commands; But sent his truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son.
8 Let the whole earth his power confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace: The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine.
PSALM 103. 8-18. Second Part. L. M. God's gentle chastisement; or, His tender mercy to his people.
1
How firm his truth! how large his grace! He takes his mercy for his throne, And thence he makes his glories known.
2 Not half so high his power hath spread The starry heavens above our head, As his rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.
3 Not half so far hath nature plac'd The rising morning from the west, As his forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those he loves.
4 How slowly doth his wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if he lets his anger burn, How soon his frowns to pity turn!
5 Amidst his wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while his rod corrects his saints, His ear indulges their complaints.
6 So fathers their young sons chastise, With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart.
PAUSE.
7 The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyor the strength that he bestows.

PSALMS.
8 He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. 9 But his eternal love is sure o

PSALM 103. 1-7. First Part. S. M.
Praise for spiritual and temporal mercies. BLESS the Lord, my soul; Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless his Name, Whose favours are divine.
O
' Tis he forgives thy sins, " Tis he relieves thy pain, ' Tis he that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again.
He crowns thy life with love, When ransom'd from the grave; He that redeem'd my soul from hell Hath sovereign power to save.
He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest.
His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known: But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.

PSALM 103. 8-18. Second Part. S. M.

PSALM 103. 19-22. Third Part. S. M. God's universal dominion; or, Angels praise the Lord.
3
But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.
Hath fix'd his throne on high; O'er all the heavenly world he rules, And all beneath the sky.
Ye angels great in might, And swift to do his will,
Bless ye the Lord, whose voice ye hear, Whose pleasure ye fulfil.
Let the bright hosts who wait The orders of their King,
And guard his churches when they pray, Join in the praise they sing.

PSALM 104. L. M.
The glory of God in creation and providence. Y soul, thy great Creator praise; rays,
1
He in full Majesty appears, And like a robe his glory wears.
Note, This psalm may be sung to the tune of the old 112th or 127th Psalm, by adding these two lines to every stanza, viz.
Great is the Lord; what tongue can frame An equal honour to his Name?
Otherwise it must be sung as the 100th Psalm.
2 The heavens are for his curtains spread, Th' unfathom'd deep he makes his bed; Clouds are his charíot, when he flies On winged storms across the skies.
3 Angels, whom his own breath inspires, His ministers are flaming fires;
And swift as thought their armies move To bear his vengeance, or his love.
159
4 The world's foundations by his hand Are pois'd, and shall for ever stand; He binds the ocean in his chain, Lest it should drown the earth again.
5 When earth was cover'd with the flood, Which high above the mountains stood, He thunder'd, and the ocean fled, Confin'd to its appointed bed.
6 The swelling billows know their bound, And in their channels walk their round; Yet thence convey'd by secret veins, They spring on hills, and drench the plains.
7 He bids the crystal fountains flow, And cheer the vallies as they go; Tame heifers there their thirst allay, And for the stream wild asses bray.

8 From pleasant trees which shade the brink The lark and linnet light to drink; Their songs the lark and linnet raise, And chide our silence in his praise.
PAUSE I.
9 God from his cloudy cistern pours On the parch'd earth enriching showers; The grove, the garden, and the field A thousand joyful blessings yield.
10 He makes the grassy food arise, And gives the cattle large supplies; With herbs for man of various power, To nourish nature, or to cure.
11 What noble fruit the vines produce! The olive yields a shining juice; Our hearts are cheer'd with generous wine, With inward joy our faces shine.
12 O bless his name, ye Britons, fed With nature's chief supporter, bread; While bread your vital strength imparts, Serve him with vigour in your hearts.
PAUSE II.
13 Behold the stately cedar stands, Rais'd in the forest by his hands: Birds to the boughs for shelter fly, And build their nests secure on high.
siff
14 To craggy hills ascends the goat; And at the airy mountain's foot The feebler creatures make their cell; He gives them wisdom where to dwell. 15 He sets the sun his circling race,
Appoints the moon to change her face; And when thick darkness veils the day, Calls out wild beasts to hunt their prey. W 16 Fierce lions lead their young abroad, And roaring ask their meat from God; But when the morning beams arise, The savage beast to covert flies. 17 Then man to daily labour goes; The night was made for his repose; Sleep is thy gift that sweet relief From tiresome toil and wasting grief.
18 How strange thy works! how great thy skill! And every land thy riches fill: Thy wisdom round the world we see, This spacious earth is full of thee.

PSALMS.
19 Not less thy glories in the deep,
Where fish in millions swim and creep, With wondrous motions, swift or slow, Still wandering in the paths below.
20 There ships divide their watery way, And flocks of scaly monsters play; There dwells the huge leviathan,
And foams and sports in spite of man.
PAUSE III.
21 Vast are thy works, almighty Lord, All nature rests upon thy word, And the whole race of creatures stands, Waiting their portion from thy hands.
22 While each receives his different food, Their cheerful looks pronounce it good: Eagles and bears, and whales and worms, Rejoice and praise in different forms.
23 But when thy face is hid, they mourn, And dying to their dust return; Both men and beasts their souls resign, Life, breath, and spirit, all is thine.
24 Yet thou canst breathe on dust again, And fill the world with beasts and men: A word of thy creating breath
Repairs the wastes of time and death.
25 His works, the wonders of his might, Are honour'd with his own delight; How awful are his glorious ways! The Lord is dreadful in his praise.
26 The earth stands trembling at thy stroke, And at thy touch the mountains smoke, Yet humble souls may see thy face, And tell their wants to sovereign grace.
27 In thee my hopes and wishes meet, And make my meditations sweet: Thy praises shall my breath employ Till it expire in endless joy.
28 While haughty sinners die accurst, Their glory buried with their dust, I, to my God, my heavenly King, Immortal hallelujahs sing.

God's conduct of Israel, and the plagues of Egypt.
GLV
NIVE thanks to God, invoke his Name, And tell the world his grace: Sound through the earth his deeds of fame, That all may seek his face.
2 His covenant, which he kept in mind For numerous ages past, To numerous ages yet behind In equal force shall last.
3 He sware to Abr'am and his seed, And made the blessing sure: Gentiles the ancient promise read, And find his truth endure.
4" Thy seed shall make all nations blest," ( Said the almighty voice,) " And Canaan's land shall be their rest, " The type of heavenly joys."
5[ How large the grant! how rich the grace! To give them Canaan's land, When they were strangers in the place, little feeble band!
6 Like pilgrims through the countries round 9 Securely they remov'd;
And haughty kings, that on them frown'd, Severely he reprov'd.
7" Touch mine anointed, and my arm " Shall soon revenge the wrong: " The man that does my prophets harm " Shall know their God is strong."
8 Then let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear: Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care.]

9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints, And thus provok'd their God, Moses was sent at their complaints, Arm'd with his dreadful rod.
10 He call'd for darkness; darkness came Like an o'erwhelming flood; He turn'd each lake and every stream To lakes and streams of blood.

PSALMS.
11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies Through the whole country spread, And frogs, in croaking armies, rise About the monarch's bed.
12 Through fields, and towns, and palaces, The tenfold vengeance flew; Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees, And hail their cattle slew.
13 Then by an angel's midnight stroke, The flower of Egypt died; The strength of every house was broke, Their glory and their pride.
14 Now let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care.
PAUSE II.
15 Thus were the tribes from bondage brought And left the hated ground: Each some Egyptian spoils had got, JASS
And not one feeble found.
16 The Lord himself chose out their way, And mark'd their journies right, Gave them a leading cloud by day, A fiery guide by night.
17 They thirst; and waters from the rock In rich abundance flow,
And following still the course they took Ran all the desert through.
18 O wondrous stream! O blessed type Of ever- flowing grace!
So Christ, our rock, maintains our life Through all this wilderness.
19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand, The chosen tribes possest Canaan the rich, the promis'd land, And there enjoy'd their rest.

of G How fickle are our ways,
And yet how oft did Israel prove Thy constancy of grace!
Now they believe his word, While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low.

Yet when they mourn'd their faults, He hearken'd to their groans, Brought his own covenant to his thoughts, And call'd them still his sons.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord
The wonders of his grace record; Israel the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes.
3[ When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They trac'd the desert wandering round A wild and solitary ground.
4 There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fix'd abode;
Nor food, nor fountain to assuage Their burning thirst, or hunger's rage.] 5 In their distress to God they cried,
God was their Saviour and their Guide; He led their march far wandering round, ' Twas the right path to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release we gain
From sin's old yoke, and Satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome place.
7 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land. 80 let the saints with joy record
The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

2 But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies, If they reject his heavenly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord;

4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries, He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all dismal de,

5 He cuts the bars of brass in two,
And lets the smiling prisoners through; Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the labouring soul relief.

2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust.
3 The glutton groans and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd.
4 Then how the frighted sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death.

So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals,

3 Now to the heavens they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a staggering drunkard reel! 4 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress.
5 He bids the winds their wrath assuage; The furious waves forget their rage; ' Tis calm; and sailors smile to see The haven where they wish'd to be. 6 O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private offerings bring, And in the church his glory sing.
PSALM 107. Fourth Part. C. M. The Mariner's psalm.

7' Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know
That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow.

3[ Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they; He bids th' opprest and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there.
4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want: Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks.
5 Thus are they blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in, A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barbarous hands.

8 The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore.

3 Their miseries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good.
4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet, with his dying breath, He pray'd for murderers on his cross, And blest his foes in death.
5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes? Give me a soul a- kin to thine To love mine enemies.

The sweet remembrance of the just, Like a green root, revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs,
When dying nature sleeps in dust. 4 Beset with threatening dangers round, Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground;

The tribes with cheerful homage own Their King, and Judah was his throne. 2 Across the deep their journey lay;
The deep divides to make them way: Jordan beheld their march, and fled With backward current to his head.
3 The mountains shook like frighted sheep, Like lambs the little hillocks leap; Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sovereign power at hand.
4 What power could make the deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his tide? Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels? 5 Let every mountain, every flood,
Retire and know th' approaching God, The king of Israel: see him here; Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear.
6 He thunders, and all nature mourns, The rock to standing pools he turns; Flints spring with fountains at his word, And fires and seas confess the Lord.
PSALM 115. First Metre. L. M. The true God our refuge; or, Idolatry reproved. OT to ourselves, who are but dust,
1 N is glory
Eternal God, thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise, and true.
2 Shine forth in all thy dreadful Name; Why should a heathen's haughty tongue Insult us, and to raise our shame
Say, Where's the God you've serv'd so long"
3 The God we serve maintains his throne
Above the clouds, beyond the skies, Through all the earth his will is done, He knows our groans, he hears our cries.
4 But the vain idols they adore
Are senseless shapes of stone and wood; At best a mass of glittering ore, A silver saint, or golden god.

PSALMS.
5[ With eyes and ears they carve their head, Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly offerings made, And vows are scatter'd in the wind.
6 Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay the fear or love Seem to be blind and deaf as they.]
70 Israel, make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, An bless the people and the priest. 8 The dead no more can speak thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave! But we shall live to sing thy grace, And tell the world thy power to save.

PSALM 115. Second Metre. L. M. As the new tune of the 50th Psalm. Popish idolatry reproved.

A psalm for the 5th of November.
TOT to our names, thou only Just and True,
Thy power and grace, thy truth and justice claim Immortal honours to thy sovereign Name: Shine through the earth from heaven, thy blest abode, [ God?"
Nor let the heathens say," And where's your 2 Heaven is thine higher court; there stands thy throne,
And through the lower worlds thy will is done: Our God fram'd all this earth, these heavens he spread,
But fools adore the gods their hands have made: The kneeling crowd, with looks devout, behold Their silver saviours, and their saints of gold.
3[ Vain are those artful shapes of eyes and ears; The molten image neither sees nor hears: Their hands are helpless, nor their feet can move, They have no speech, nor thought, nor power, nor love,
Yet sottish mortals make their long complaints To their deaf idols, and their moveless saints.
4 The rich have statues well adorn'd with gold; The poor, content with gods of coarser mould, With tools of iron carve the senseless stock, Lopt from a tree, or broken from a rock: People and priest drive on the solemn trade, t And trust the gods that saws and hammers made.]

5 Be heaven and earth amaz'd!' Tis hard to say Which is more stupid, or their gods or they: O Israel, trust the Lord, he hears and sees, He knows thy sorrows, and restores thy peace: His worship does a thousand comforts yield, He is thy help, and he thy heavenly shield.
6 0 Britain, trust the Lord: Thy foes in vain Attempt thy ruin, and oppose his reign; Had they prevail'd darkness had clos'd our days, And death and silence had forbid his praise: But we are sav'd, and live; let songs arise, And Britain bless the God that built the skies.
PSALM 116. First Part. C. M.
Recovery from sickness. LOVE the Lord; he heard my cries,

I And pity'd every groan:
Long as I live, when troubles rise, I'll hasten to his throne.
2 I love the Lord; he bow'd his ear, And chas'd my griefs away; O let my heart no more despair, While I have breath to pray!
3 My flesh declin'd, my spirits fell, And I drew near the dead, While inward pangs, and fears of hell, Perplex'd my wakeful head.
4" My God," I cried," thy servant save, " Thou ever good and just; " Thy power can rescue from the grave, " Thy power is all my trust."
5 The Lord beheld me sore distrest, He bid my pains remove: Return, my soul, to God thy rest, For thou hast known his love.
6 My God hath sav'd my soul from death, And dried my falling tears; Now to his praise I'll spend my breath, And my remaining years.

3 Like bees my foes beset me round, A large and angry swarm; But I shall all their rage confound By thine almighty arm.
4' Tis through the Lord my heart is strong, In him my lips rejoice; While his salvation is my song, How cheerful is my voice!
5 Like angry bees they girt me round; When God appears they fly:
So burning thorns, with crackling sound, Make a fierce blaze and die.

PSALM 118. 17-21. Second Part. C. M.
Public praise for deliverance from death.
1 ORD thou hast heard thy servant cry And rescu'd from the grave; Now shall he live:( and none can die If God resolve to save.)

BEHOLD the sure foundation stone

Yet on this rock the church shall rest, And envy rage in vain.

PSALM 119.
I have collected and disposed the most useful verses of this psalm under eighteen different heads, and formed a divine song upon each of them. But the verses are much transposed to attain some degree of connection.
In some places, among the words law, commands, judgments, testimonies, I have used gospel, word, grace, truth, promises,& c. as more agreeable to the New Testament, and the common language of Christians, and it equally answers the design of the Psalmist, which was to recommend the holy scripture.
PSALM 119. 1, 2, 3. First Part. C. M. The blessedness of saints, and misery of sinners. LEST are the undefil'd in heart,
1
Who never from thy law depart, But fly from every sin.

2 Blest are the men that keep thy word, And practise thy commands; With their whole heart they seek the Lord, And serve thee with their hands.

3 Great is their peace who love thy law, How firm their souls abide! Nor can a bold temptation draw Their steady feet aside.

4 Then shall my heart have inward joy, And keep my face from shame,

How short the powers of nature fall, And can no farther go!

5 In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame, And sinks our virtues down so far. They scarce deserve the name.

Thence all her help my soul derives; There my Almighty refuge lives.
2 He lives, the everlasting God,
That built the world, that spread the flood; The heavens with all their hosts he made, And the dark regions of the dead.
3 He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours while Israel sleeps.
4 Israel, a name divinely blest,
May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy Guardian's wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise.
5 No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor the pale moon with sickly ray Shall blast thy couch; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far.
6 Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return Safe in the Lord; his heavenly care Defends thy life from every snare. 7 On thee foul spirits have no power; And in thy last departing hour Angels, that trace the airy road, Shall bear thee homeward to thy God.
PSALM 121. C. M. Preservation by day and night. 1 my are 10 heaven I lift my waiting eyes,

And watch our most unguarded hours Against surprising harm.

6 He guards thy soul, he keeps thy breath Where thickest dangers come; Go, and return, secure from death, Till God commands thee home.
PSALM 121. As the 148th Psalm.

Thou art my sun, And thou my shade, To guard my head By night and noon.

Going to church.

TOW did my heart rejoice to hear
HO My friends devoutly say,
" In Zion let us all appear,
" And keep the solemn day."
2 I love her gates, I love the road; The church, adorn'd with grace, Stands like a palace built for God To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts with joys unknown The holy tribes repair; The son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints; And while his awful voice Divides the sinners from the saints, We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest! With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest!
6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; There my best friends, my kindred dwell, There God my Saviour reigns.

A song for the fifth of November. AD
1
H Had not the Lord maintain'd our side, When men, to make our lives a prey ,. Rose like the swelling of the tide:
2 The swelling tide had stopt our breath, So fiercely did the waters roll, We had been swallow'd deep in death, Proud waters had o'erwhelm'd our soul.
3 We leap for joy, we shout and sing, Who just escap'd the fatal stroke; So flies the bird with cheerful wing, When once the fowler's snare is broke. 4 For ever blessed be the Lord,
Who broke the fowler's cursed snare, Who sav'd us from the murdering sword, And made our lives and souls his care.
5 Our help is in Jehovah's Name,
Who form'd the earth, and built the skies, He that upholds that wondrous frame, Guards his own church with watchful eyes.
PSALM 125. C. M.
The saint's trial and safety. NSHAKEN as the sacred hill,

Firm as a rock the soul shall rest That leans, O Lord, on thee.
2 Not walls nor hills could guard so well Old Salem's happy ground, As those eternal arms of love That every saint surround.
3 While tyrants are a smarting scourge To drive them near to God, Divine compassion does allay The fury of the rod.
4 Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere, And lead them safely on
To the bright gates of Paradise, Where Christ our Lord is gone.

PSALMS.

What though the Father's rod Drop a chastising stroke, Yet, lest it wound their souls too deep Its fury shall be broke.
Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear,
Whose hope, and love, and every grace Proclaim their hearts sincere.
Nor shall the tyrant's rage Too long oppress the saint; The God of Israel will support His children, lest they faint. But if our slavish fear

My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace.
3" Great is the work," my neighbours cry'd, And own'd the power divine; " Great is the work," my heart reply'd, " And be the glory thine."
4 The Lord can clear the darkest skies, Can give us day for night, Make drops of sacred sorrow rise To rivers of delight.
5 Let those that sow in sadness wait Till the fair harvest come,
They shall confess their sheaves are great, A shout the lessings home.
6 Though seed lie buried long in dust, It sha'nt deceive their hope; The precious grain can ne'er be lost, For grace insures the crop.

My griefs were constant as the day, And tedious as the years.
2 Up from my youth I bore the rage Of all the sons of strife; Oft they assail'd my riper age, But not destroy'd my life.
3 Their cruel plough had torn my flesh With furrows long and deep, Hourly they vex my wounds afresh, Nor let my sorrows sleep.
4 The Lord grew angry on his throne, And with impartial eye Measur'd the mischiefs they had done, Then let his arrows fly.
5 How was their insolence surpris'd To hear his thunders roll! And all the foes of Zion seiz'd With horror to the soul.
6 Thus shall the men that hate the saints Be blasted from the sky!
Their glory fades, their courage faints, And all their projects die.
7[ What though they flourish tall and fair, They have no root beneath; Their growth shall perish in despair, And lie despis'd in death.]
8[ So corn that on the house- top stands No hope of harvest gives; The reaper ne'er shall fill his hands, Nor binder fold the sheaves.
9 It springs and withers on the place; No traveller bestows
A word of blessing on the grass, Nor minds it as he goes.]

PSALM 130. C. M. Pardoning grace.

The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to move thine ear.
2 Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.
3 But there are pardons with my God For crimes of high degree;
Thy Son has bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee.
4[ I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word, Stands watching at thy gate.]
5 Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes;
6 So waits my soul to see thy grace, And more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.
7[ Then in the Lord let Israel trust, Let Israel seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace.
8 There's full redemption at his throne For sinners long enslavd; The great Redeemer is his Son, And Israel shall be sav'd.]

PSALM 130. L. M. Pardoning grace.

6 The saints, unable to contain
Their inward joys, shall shout and sing; The Son of David here shall reign, And Zion triumph in her King.

Born here, t' uphold his glorious Name; His crown shall flourish on his head, While all his foes are cloth'd with shame!]

13" O may these thoughts possess my breast, " Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! " Nor let my weaker passions dare " Consent to sin, for God is there."

PSALM 139. Second Part. L. M. The wonderful formation of man. 1 WAS from thy hand, my God, I came
In me thy fearful wonders shine, And each proclaims thy skill divine. 2 Thine eyes did all my limbs survey, Which yet in dark confusion lay; Thou saw'st the daily growth they took, Form'd by the model of thy book.
3 By thee my growing parts were nam'd, And what thy sovereign counsels fram'd, ( The breathing lungs, the beating heart,) Was copied with unerring art.
4 At last, to show my Maker's name, God stamp'd his image on my frame, And in some unknown moment join'd The finish'd members to the mind.

6 Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage,
7 I could survey the ocean o'er,
And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The numerous wonders of thy grace.
Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount.
8 These on my heart are still impress'd, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind,
PSALM 139. Third Part. L. M.
Sincerity professed, and grace tried; or, The heart- searching God.
Y God, what inward grief I feel
MY When impious men transgress thy will,
I mourn to hear their lips profane Take thy tremendous Name in vain.
1
2 Does not my soul detest and hate The sons of malice and deceit? Those that oppose thy laws and thee I count them enemies to me.
3 Lord, search my soul, try every thought; Though my own heart accuse me not Of walking in a false disguise, I beg the trial of thine eyes.
4 Doth secret mischief lurk within? Do I indulge some unknown sin? O turn my feet whene'er I stray, And lead me in thy perfect way.
1
PSALM 139. First Part. C. M. God is every where.
IN
N all my vast concerns with thee, In vain my soul would try To shun thy presence, Lord, or flee The notice of thine eye.

PSALMS.
2 Thy all- surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast.
3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they're form'd within: And ere my lips pronounce the word, He knows the sense I mean.
4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high, Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secur'd by sovereign love.
PAUSE.
6 Lord, where shall guilty souls retire Forgotten and unknown?
In hell they meet thy dreadful fire. In heaven thy glorious throne.
7 Should I suppress my vital breath To' scape the wrath divine, Thy voice would break the bars of death, And make the grave resign.
8 If, wing'd with beams of morning light, I fly beyond the west,
Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest.
9 If o'er my sins I think to draw The curtains of the night, Those flaming eyes that guard thy law Would turn the shades to light.
10 The beams of noon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to thee:
O may I ne'er provoke that power From which I cannot flee!

PSALM 139. Second Part. C. M. The wisdom of God in the formation of man.

PSALMS.
2 Thy hand my heart and reins possest Where unborn nature grew, Thy wisdom all my features trac'd, And all my members drew.

4 Heaven, earth, and sea, and fire, and wind, Show me thy wondrous skill; But I review myself, and find Diviner wonders still.
5 Thy awful glories round me shine, My flesh proclaims thy praise; Lord, to thy works of nature join Thy miracles of grace.

30 may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite, and reprove my wandering way! Their gentle words, like ointment shed, Shall never bruise, but cheer my head.
4 When I behold them prest with grief, I'll cry to heaven for their relief; And by my warm petitions prove How much I prize their faithful love.
PSALM 142. C. M.
God is the hope of the helpless. 1 TO God I made my sorrows known,
From
In long complaints before his throne I pour'd out all my grief.
2 My soul was overwhelm'd with woes, My heart began to break;
My God, who all my burthens knows, He knows the way I take.
3 On every side I cast mine eye, And found my helpers gone, While friends and strangers pass'd me by Neglected or unknown.
4 Then did I raise a louder cry,
And call'd thy mercy near, " Thou art my portion when I die, " Be thou my refuge here."
5 Lord, I am brought exceeding low, Now let thine ear attend, And make my foes who vex me know I've an almighty Friend.
6 From my sad prison set me free, Then shall I praise thy Name, And holy men shall join with me Thy kindness to proclaim.

PSALM 143. L. M. Complaint of heavy afflictions in mind and body.
1
MY Y righteous Judge, my gracious God,
Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succour from thy throne, O make thy truth and mercy known. 2 Let judgment not against me pass;
Behold thy servant pleads thy grace: Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there.

222
PSALMS.
3 Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burthen me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long buried and forgot.
4 I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within; My thoughts in musing silence trace The ancient wonders of thy grace.
5 Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain.
6 For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn; When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove? And God for ever hide his love?
7 My God, thy long delay to save Will sink thy prisoner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die.
8 The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; O might I hear thy morning voice, How would my weary powers rejoice!
9 In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my heavy soul on high, For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away.
10 Break off my fetters, Lord, and show Which is the path my feet should go; If snares and foes beset the road, I flee to hide me near my God.
11 Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heavenly hill; Let the good Spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above.
12 Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh, that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more.

PSALM 144. 3-6. Second Part. C. M. The vanity of man, and condescension of God. ORD, what is man, poor feeble man,

4 Thy works with sovereign glory shine, And speak thy majesty divine; Let Britain round her shores proclaim The sound and honour of thy Name.
5 Let distant times and nations raise The long succession of thy praise; And unborn ages make my song The joy and labour of their tongue.
6 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds! Vast and unsearchable thy ways ,, Vast and immortal be thy praise!

Beneath some proud oppressor's frown, Thou giv'st the mourners rest.
3 The Lord supports our tottering days, And guides our giddy youth; Holy and just are all his ways, And all his words are truth.
4 He knows the pains his servants feel, He hears his children cry, And their best wishes to fulfil His grace is ever nigh.
5 His mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere; He saves the souls whose humble love Is join'd with holy fear.
6[ His stubborn foes his sword shall slay, And pierce their hearts with pain, But none that serve the Lord shall say " They sought his aid in vain."]
7[ My lips shall dwell upon his praise, And spread his fame abroad; Let all the sons of Adam raise The honours of their God.]

PSALM 146. L. M.
Praise to God for his goodness and truth.

2 Praise shall employ my noblest powers, While immortality endures;
My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life and thought and being last.

The divine nature, providence and grace.
PRAIS
AISE ye the Lord;' tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his Name: His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole.
3 He form'd the stars, those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names; His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound; A deep where all our thoughts are drown'd.
4 Great is our Lord, and great his might; And all his glories infinite;
He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust.

5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his cloud all round the sky, There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain.
6 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn, The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry.
7 What is the creature's skill or force? The sprightly man, the warlike horse, The nimble wit, the active limb, Are all too mean delights for him,
8 But saints are lovely in his sight: He views his children with delight: He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there.

PSALM 147. Second Part. L. M. Summer and winter.
A song for Great Britain.
1
O BRITAIN, praise thy mighty God,
And make his honours known abroad; He bid the ocean round thee flow; Not bars of brass could guard thee so. 2 Thy children are secure and blest:
Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest; He feeds thy sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat.
3 Thy changing seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy later rains: His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends.
4 With hoary frost he strews the ground, His hail descends with clattering sound: Where is the man so vainly bold, That dares defy his dreadful cold?
5 He bids the southern breezes blow, The ice dissolves, the waters flow; But he hath nobler works and ways To call the Britons to his praise.
6 To all the Isle his laws are shown, His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus reveal'd his word To every land: praise ye the Lord.
229
PSALM 147. 7-9, 13-18. C. M.
The seasons of the year.
1 W Address the Lord on high: ITH songs and honours sounding loud
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends his showers of blessing down, To cheer the plains below,
He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in vallies grow.
3 He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the raven's cry: But man, who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honours high.

230
PSALMS.
4 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear.
5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound.
6 When from his dreadful stores on high He pours the rattling hail, The wretch that dares this God defy Shall find his courage fail.
7 He sends his word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return.
8 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honours sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

When lightnings shine, Or thunders roar,
Let earth adore His hand divine.
Ye mountains near the skies, With lofty cedars there, And trees of humbler size, That fruit in plenty bear; Beasts wild and tame, Birds, flies, and worms, In various forms Exalt his Name.
Ye kings and judges, fear The Lord, the sovereign King; And while you rule us here, His heavenly honours sing: Nor let the dream Of power and state Make you forget
His power supreme.

7 Ye stubborn oaks, and stately pines, Bend your high branches, and adore: Praise him, ye beasts, in different strains; The lamb must bleat, the lion roar.
8 Birds, ye must make his praise your theme, Nature demands a song from you; While the dumb fish that cut the stream Leap up, and mean his praises too.
9 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, When nature all around you sings? O for a shout from old and young, From humble swains, and lofty kings!
10 Wide as his vast dominion lies,
Make the Creator's name be known; Loud as his thunder shout his praise, And sound it lofty as his throne.

11 Jehovah!' tis a glorious word, O may it dwell on every tongue! But saints who best have known the Lord, Are bound to raise the noblest song.

I
THE following extracts from the Doctor's preface contain the substance of his plan in the three different parts into which the Hymns are divided; the whole would have exceeded the limits of a small book.
" Far be it from my thoughts to lay aside the Book of Psalms in public worship; few can pretend so great a value for them as myself: it is the most noble, most devotional, and divine collection of poesy; and nothing can be supposed more proper to raise a pious soul to heaven than some parts of that book; never was a piece of experimental divinity so nobly written, and so justly reverenced and admired: But it must be acknowledged still, that there are a thousand lines in it which were not made for a church in our days to assume as its own. There are also many deficiencies of light and glory which our Lord Jesus and his apostles have supplied in the writings of the New Testament and with this advantage I have composed these Spiritual Songs, which are now presented to the World, Nor is the attempt vainglorious or presuming: for in respect of clear evangelical knowledge, The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than all the Jewish Prophets,' Matt. xi. 11.
" Now let me give a short account of the following composures.
" The greatest part of them are suited to the general state of the gospel, and the most common affairs of Christians; I hope there will be very few found but what may properly be used in a religious assembly, and not one of them but may well be adapted to some seasons either of private or public worship. The most frequent tempers and changes of our spirit, and conditions of our life, are here copied, and the breathings of our piety expressed according to the variety of our passions, our love, our fear, our hope, our desire, our sorrow, our wonder, and our joy, as they are refined into devotion, and act under the influence and conduct of the blessed Spirit; all conversing with God the Father, by the new and living Way' of access to the throne, even the person and the mediation of our Lord Jesus Christ. To him also, even to the Lamb that was slain, and now lives,' I have addressed s 2

PREFACE.
many a song; for thus doth the Holy Scripture instruct and teach us to worship in the various patterns of Christian Psalmody described in the Revelation.
" I have aimed at ease of numbers, and smoothness of sound, and endeavoured to make the sense plain and obvious. If the verse appears so gentle and flowing as to incur the censure of feebleness, I may honestly affirm, that sometimes it cost me labour to make it so.' " In the first part I have borrowed the sense and much of the form of the song from some particular portions of scripture, and have paraphrased most of the doxologies in the New Testament, that contain any thing in them peculiarly evangelical and many parts of the Old Testament also, that have a reference to the times of the Messiah."
" The second part consists of hymns whose form is mere human composure; but I hope the sense and materials will always appear divine. I might have brought some text or other, and applied it to the margin of every verse, if this method had been as useful as it was easy. If there be any poems in the book that are capable of giving delight to persons of a more refined taste and polite education, perhaps they may be found in this part;* but except they lay aside the humour of criticism, and enter into a devout frame, every ode here already despairs of pleasing.'
" I have prepared the third part only for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, that, in imitation of our blessed Saviour, we may sing an hymn after we have partaken of the Bread and Wine."
A publisher of a late edition of this book, with a view to assist the most imperfect of those who may be appointed to give out the psalm, has entirely blended the Psalms and Hymns, in what he calls an Arrangement. But it will easily be perceived by persons of a more refined taste and polite education, that in consequence of this arrangement, they are prevented from turning to the second book, where Dr. Watts indulged a more unrestrained and exalted flight of his Muse; those beautiful poems are in that deranged edition dispersed through the whole volume.

HYMNS.

BOOK I
COLLECTED FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
HYMN 1.
A new song to the Lamb that was slain. Rev. 5. 6-12.
Lamb
Amidst his Father's throne: Prepare new honours for his Name, And songs before unknown.
2 Let elders worship at his feet, The church adore around, With vials full of odours sweet, And harps of sweeter sound.
3 Those are the prayers of the saints, And these the hymns they raise: Jesus is kind to our complaints, He loves to hear our praise.
4[ Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take that book And open every seal?
5 He shall fulfil thy great decrees, The Son deserves it well;
Lo, in his hand the sovereign keys Of heaven, and death, and hell!]
6 Now to the Lamb that once was slain Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on thy head.
7 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free,
Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee.
8 The worlds of nature and of grace Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promis'd hour.

2 By his own power were all things made, By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command.
HYMN 2.
Book I.
The deity and humanity of Christ, John 1. 1, 3, 14. Col, 1. 16. Eph. 3. 9, 10.
RE the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad,
3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; ( Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years?)
E
With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd.
4 But lo, he leaves those heavenly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dress'd in such feeble flesh as they.
5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone!
6 Archangels leave their high abode
To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.

1
The promise is fulfill'd; Mary the wondrous virgin bears, And Jesus is the child.

HYMN 3. S. M.
The nativity of Christ, Luke 1. 30,& c. Luke 2. 10,& c.
[ The Lord, the highest God, Calls him his only Son;
He bids him rule the lands abroad, And gives him David's throne.
O'er Jacob shall he reign With a peculiar sway;
The nations shall his grace obtain, His kingdom ne'er decay.]
To bring the glorious news A heavenly form appears; He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears.

" With looks and hearts serene, " Go visit Christ your King;' And straight a flaming troop was seen; The shepherds heard them sing:
" Glory to God on high, " And heavenly peace on earth, " Good- will to men, to angels joy, " At the Redeemer's birth!"
[ In worship so divine
Let saints employ their tongues, With the celestial host we join, And loud repeat their songs:
Glory to God on high,
" And heavenly peace on earth, " Good- will to men, to angels joy, " At our Redeemer's birth."]
HYMN 4. L. M.
The inward witness to Christianity, 1 John 5. 10.
Uestions and doubts be heard no more, our
His Spirit seals his gospel sure, To every soul that trusts in him.
2 Jesus, thy witness, speaks within: The mercy which thy words reveal Refines the heart from sense and sin, And stamps its own celestial seal.
3' Tis God's inimitable hand
That moulds and forms the heart anew; Blasphemers can no more withstand, But bow and own thy doctrine true.
4 The guilty wretch that trusts thy blood Finds peace and pardon at the cross; The sinful soul, averse to God, Believes and loves his Maker's laws.
5 Learning and wit may cease their strife, When miracles with glory shine; The voice that calls the dead to life Must be almighty, and divine.
&

HYMN 5.
Book I.
Submission to afflictive providences, Job 1. 21.
AKED as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first,
4
1
We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust.
2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon.
3' Tis God that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and( blessed be his Name!) He takes but what he gave.
4 Peace, all our angry passions, then, Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die.
5 If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we'll adore the justice too That strikes our comforts dead.
HYMN 6. C. M.
Triumph over death, Job 19. 25-27. REAT God, I own thy sentence just,
1 Gnd nature must decay;
I yield my body to the dust To dwell with fellow- clay.
2 Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave, And trample on the tombs: My Jesus, my Redeemer lives, My God, my Saviour comes.
3 The mighty Conqueror shall appear High on a royal seat,
And Death, the last of all his foes, Lie vanquish'd at his feet.
4 Though greedy worms devour my skin, And gnaw my wasting flesh, When God shall build my bones again, He clothes them all afresh.
5 Then shall I see thy lovely face With strong immortal eyes, And feast upon thy unknown grace With pleasure and surprise.

Book I.
HYMN 7.
5
The invitation of the gospel; or, Spiritual food and clothing, Isa. 55. 1,& c.
ET every mortal ear attend,
1
The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice.
2 Ho! all ye hungry starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind.
3 Eternal Wisdom has prepar'd A soul- reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste.
4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die, Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry.
5 Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine.
6[ Ye perishing and naked poor, Who work with mighty pain To weave a garment of your own That will not hide your sin;
7 Come naked, and adorn your souls In robes prepar'd by God, Wrought by the labours of his Son, And dy'd in his own blood.]
8 Dear God, the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines, Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins.
9 The happy gates of gospel grace Stand open night and day, Lord, we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away.
1
HYMN 8. C. M.
The safety and protection of the church, Isa. 26. 1-6.
TOW honourable is the place
HOW Where we adoring stand!
Zion, the glory of the earth. And beauty of the land!

6
HYMNS.
2 Bulwarks of mighty grace defend The city where we dwell,
The walls of strong salvation made, Defy th' assaults of hell.
3 Lift up the everlasting gates, The doors wide open fling, Enter, ye nations that obey The statutes of our King.
4 Here shall you taste unmingled joys, And live in perfect peace,

Is a consuming His jealous eyes his wrath inflame, And raise his vengeance higher.

3 Those heaps of wrath by slow degrees Are forc'd into a flame,
But kindled, O how fierce they blaze! And rend all nature's frame.
4 At his approach the mountains flee, And seek a watery grave; The frighted sea makes haste away, And shrinks up every wave.

5 What if he means to show his grace, And his electing love employs To mark out some of mortal race, And form them fit for heavenly joys!] 6 Shall man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's ways unjust, The thunder of whose dreadful word Can crush a thousand worlds to dust? 7 But, O my soul, if truths so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written will obey, And wait the great decisive day.

To him that thunders through the sky, And with an awful nod or frown Shakes an aspiring tyrant down. 8[ Pillars of lasting brass proclaim The triumphs of th' eternal Name; While trembling nations read from far The honours of the God of war.]

2 Lingering about these mortal shores, She makes a long delay, Till like a flood with rapid force Death sweeps the wretch away.
3 Then swift and dreadful she descends Down to the fiery coast, Amongst abominable fiends, Herself a frightful ghost.
4 There endless crowds of sinners lie, And darkness makes their chains; Tortur'd with keen despair they cry, Yet wait for fiercer pains.
5 Not all their anguish and their blood For their old guilt atones, Nor the compassions of a God Shall hearken to their groans.

3 The evening rests our weary head, And angels guard the room; We wake, and we admire the bed That was not made our tomb.

3[ Firm are the words his prophets give, Sweet words on which his children live; Each of them is the voice of God,
Who spoke and spread the skies abroad. 4 Each of them powerful as that sound
That bid the new- made heavens go round; And stronger than the solid poles, On which the wheel of nature rolls.]
5 Whence then should doubts and fears arise, Why trickling sorrows drown our eyes? Slowly, alas, our mind receives
The comforts that our Maker gives.
6 O for a strong a lasting faith
To credit what th' Almighty saith! T' embrace the message of his Son, And call the joys of heaven our own.
7 Then should the earth's old pillars shake, And all the wheels of nature break, Our steady souls should fear no more Than solid rocks when billows roar.
8 Our everlasting hopes arise
Above the ruinable skies, Where the eternal Builder reigns, And his own courts his power sustains.

6 We should almost forsake our clay Before the summons come, And pray and wish our souls away To their eternal home.

God the thunderer; or, The last judgment, and hell.*
ING to the Lord, ye heavenly hosts,
Let death and hell through all their coasts Stand trembling at his power.
2 His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds his throne, There all his stores of lightning lie, Till vengeance dart them down.
3 His nostrils breathe out fiery streams, And from his awful tongue
A sovereign voice divides the flames, And thunder roars along.
4 Think, O my soul, the dreadful day When this incensed God
Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling his wrath abroad.
5 What shall the wretch the sinner do? He once defied the Lord;
But he shall dread the Thunderer now, And sink beneath his word.
6 Tempests of angry fire shall roll
To blast the rebel- worm,
And beat upon his naked soul
In one eternal storm,
* Made in a great sudden storm of thunder, August 20, 1697.

My ears attend the cry, " Ye living men, come view the ground " Where you must shortly lie.
2" Princes, this clay must be your bed, " In spite of all your towers; " The tall, the wise, the reverend head " Must lie as low as ours."
3 Great God, is this our certain doom? And are we still secure?

3 Thy foes in vain designs engage,
Against his throne in vain they rage, Like rising waves, with angry roar, That dash and die upon the shore.
4 Then let our souls in Zion dwell, Nor fear the wrath of Rome and hell: His arms embrace this happy ground, Like brazen bulwarks built around. 5 God is our shield, and God our sun; Swift as the fleeting moments run, On us he sheds new beams of grace, And we reflect his brightest praise.

And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes!

Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

2 If but a Moses wave thy rod,
The sea divides and owns its God: The stormy floods their Maker knew, And let his chosen armies through.

To thee, their Lord, a tribute pay, The meanest fish that swims the flood, Leaps up, and means a praise to God.
4[ The larger monsters of the deep On thy commands attendance keep, By thy permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming way. 5 If God his voice of tempest rears, Leviathan lies still and fears, Anon he lifts his nostrils high, And spouts the ocean to the sky.

7[ What scenes of miracles they see,
And never tune a song to thee! While on the flood they safely ride, They curse the hand that smooths the tide.

Without some glimpses of thy face; And heaven, without thy presence there, Would be a dark and tiresome place.

5 And if no evening visit's paid
Between my Saviour and my soul, How dull the night, how sad the shade! How mournfully the minutes roll!

5 God is mine all- sufficient good, My portion and my choice; In him my vast desires are fill'd, And all my powers rejoice.

The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again.

No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God.
4 But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down.

Trust in the mighty Saviour's Name, And you shall never die.

3 Thy power and glory works within, And breaks the chains of reigning sin, Doth our imperious lusts subdue, And forms our wretched hearts anew.
4 The troubled conscience knows thy voice, Thy cheering words awake our joys; Thy words allay the stormy wind, And calm the surges of the mind.

Behold the prophets all agreed To give him the superior room! 2 Abr'am the saint rejoic'd of old When visions of the Lord he saw; Moses the man of God foretold This great fulfiller of his law.
3 The types bore witness to his Name, Obtain'd their chief design, and ceas'd; The incense and the bleeding lamb, The ark, the altar, and the priest.

3 Simeon and Anna both conspire The Infant- Saviour to proclaim; Inward they felt the sacred fire, And bless'd the Babe, and own'd his Name.

Our souls adore th' eternal God Who condescended to be born.

Miracles in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
1 BEHOLD the blind their sight receive;
Behold dead and The dumb speak wonders, and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless his Name.
2 Thus doth th' eternal Spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates his cause, While he hangs bleeding on the cross.
3 He dies; the heavens in mourning stood; He rises and appears a God: Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die.
4 Hence and for ever from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign Which bear credentials so divine.
HYMN 138. L. M. The power of the gospel. 1 THIS is the word of truth and love, Sent to the nations from above; Jehovah here resolves to show What his almighty grace can do. 2 This remedy did wisdom find To heal diseases of the mind:
This sovereign balm, whose virtues can Restore the ruin'd creature, man.
3 The gospel bids the dead revive, Sinners obey the voice, and live;
Dry bones are rais'd and cloth'd afresh, And hearts of stone are turn'd to flesh.
4[ Where Satan reign'd in shades of night The gospel strikes a heavenly light; Our lusts its wondrous power controls, And calms the rage of angry souls.]

5[ Lions and beasts of savage name Put on the nature of the lamb; Whilst the wide world esteems it strange, Gaze, and admire, and hate the change.]

2 Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came, They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death.
4 They mark'd the footsteps that he trod, ( His zeal inspir'd their breast;) And following their incarnate God Possess the promis'd rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Show the same path to heaven.

3 Baptismal water is design'd
To seal his cleansing grace, While at his feast of bread and wine He gives his saints a place.
4 But not the waters of a flood Can make my flesh so clean As by his Spirit and his blood He'll wash my soul from sin.
5 Not choicest meats, or noblest wines, So much my heart refresh,
6 I love the Lord, that stoops so low To give his word a seal; But the rich grace his hands bestow Exceeds the figures still.

My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin!
My soul looks back to see The burthens thou did'st bear, When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there.

3 Thus arm'd, he sent the champions forth From east to west, from south to north; " Go, and assert your Saviour's cause, " Go, spread the mystery of his cross."

2[ Dark was the deep; the waters lay Confus'd, and drown'd the land: He call'd the light; the new- born day Attends on his command.
3 He bid the clouds ascend on high; The clouds ascend, and bear A watery treasure to the sky, And float on softer air.
4[ The liquid element below Was gather'd by his hand; The rolling seas together flow, And leave the solid land.]
5 With herbs and plants, a flowery birth, The naked globe he crown'd, Ere there was rain to bless the earth, Or sun to warm the ground.
6 Then he adorn'd the upper skies; Behold the sun appears: The moon and stars in order rise, To make our months and years.
7 Out of the deep th' Almighty King Did vital beings frame; The painted fowls of every wing, And fish of every name.
8 He gave the lion and the worm At once their wondrous birth; And grazing beasts of various form Rose from the teeming earth.
9 Adam was fram'd of equal clay, Though sovereign of the rest, Design'd for nobler ends than they, With God's own image bless'd.
10 Thus glorious in their Maker's eye The young creation stood; He saw the building from on high, His word pronounc'd it good.
11 Lord, while the frame of nature stands Thy praise shall fill my tongue; But the new world of grace demands A more exalted song.

Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

3 Now he persuades," How easy' tis " To walk the road to heaven;" Anon, he swells our sins, and cries, " They cannot be forgiven.'
4[ He bids young sinners," Yet forbea " To think of God or death; " For prayer and devotion are " But melancholy breath."
5 He tells the aged," They must die, " And' tis too late to pray; " In vain for mercy now they cry, " For they have lost their day."

4 God is a King of power unknown,
Firm are the orders of his throne; If he resolve, who dares oppose, Or ask him why, or what he does?
5 He wounds the heart, and he makes whole; He calms the tempest of the soul; When he shuts up in long despair, Who can remove the heavy bar?
6 He frowns, and darkness veils the moon; The fainting sun grows dim at noon; The pillars of heaven's starry roof Tremble and start at his reproof.
7 He gave the vaulted heaven its form, The crooked serpent, and the worm; He breaks the billows with his breath, And smites the sons of pride to death. 8 These are a portion of his ways,
But who shall dare describe his face? Who can endure his light, or stand To hear the thunders of his hand?

PREPARED FOR THE LORD'S SUPPER.
HYMN 1. L. M.
The Lord's Supper instituted, 1 Cor. 11. 23,& c. 1 WAS on that dark, that doleful night, When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betray'd him to his foes:
" TW
2 Before the mournful scene began
He took the bread, and bless'd, and brake, What love through all his actions ran! What wondrous words of grace he spake! 3" This is my body broke for sin,
" Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup, and bless'd the wine; " Tis the new covenant in my blood."
4[ For us his flesh with nails was torn, He bore the scourge, he felt the thorn; And justice pour'd upon his head Its heavy vengeance in our stead.
5 For us his vital blood was spilt, To buy the pardon of our guilt, When for black crimes of biggest size He gave his soul a sacrifice.]
6" Do this( he cried) till time shall end, " In memory of your dying Friend; " Meet at my table, and record " The love of your departed Lord."
7[ Jesus, thy feast we celebrate,
We show thy death, we sing thy Name, Till thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.]
HYMN 2. S. M.
Communion with Christ, and with saints, 1 Cor. 10. 16, 17.

For food he gave his flesh, He bids us drink his blood; Amazing favour! matchless grace Of our descending God!]

Our heavenly Father calls Christ and his members one We the young children of his love, And he the first- born Son.

We are but several parts Of the same broken bread; One body hath its several limbs, But Jesus is the head.
Let all our powers be join'd His glorious Name to raise; Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise.
HYMN 3. C. M.
The New Testament in the blood of Christ; or, The new covenant sealed.
1"
THE promise of my Father's love
ever
He said, and gave his soul to death, And seal'd the grace with blood.
2 To this dear covenant of thy word I set my worthless name;
I seal th' engagement to my Lord, And make my humble claim.
191
3 Thy light, and strength, and pardoning grace, And glory shall be mine; My life and soul, my heart and flesh, And all my powers are thine.
4 I call that legacy my own
Which Jesus did bequeath; ' Twas purchas'd with a dying groan, And ratified in death.
5 Sweet is the memory of his Name, Who bless'd us in his will, And to his testament of love
Made his own life the seal. 262

HYMN 4. C. M.
Book III.
Christ's dying love; or, Our pardon bought at a dear price.
1
HOW
condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reach'd his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down.
2[ When Justice, by our sins provok'd, Drew forth its dreadful sword, He gave his soul up to the stroke, Without a murmuring word.]
3[ He sunk beneath our heavy woes, To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows But cost his heart a groan.]
4 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne' er withdrew.
5 Now though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well he remembers Calvary, Nor lets his saints forget.
6[ Here we behold his bowels roll, As kind as when he died; And see the sorrows of his soul Bleed through his wounded side.]
7[ Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus' dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move.]
8 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we his death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.

4 Bless'd be the Lord that gives his flesh To nourish dying men; And often spreads his table fresh Lest we should faint again.
5 Our souls shall draw their heavenly breath While Jesus finds supplies; Nor shall our graces sink to death, For Jesus never dies.

But Christ our life shall come; His unresisted power shall raise Our bodies from the tomb.]

The memorial of our absent Lord, John 16. 16. Luke 22. 19. John 14. 3.
ESUS is gone above the skies,
him not;
1
And carnal objects court our eyes To thrust our Saviour from our thought.
2 He knows what wandering hearts we have Apt to forget his lovely face; And to refresh our minds he gave These kind memorials of his grace.
3 The Lord of Life this table spread With his own flesh and dying blood; We on the rich provision feed,
And taste the wine, and bless the God.
193
4 Let sinful sweets be all forgot,
And earth grow less in our esteem; Christ and his love fill every thought, And faith and hope be fix'd on him.
5 While he is absent from our sight, ' Tis to prepare our souls a place, That we may dwell in heavenly light, And live for ever near his face.
6[ Our eyes look upwards to the hills Whence our returning Lord shall come; We wait thy chariot's awful wheels To fetch our longing spirits home.]

Crucifixion to the world by the cross of Christ, Gal. 6. 14.

WHE
THEN I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to his blood.
1
3 See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow ngled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4[ His dying crimson, like a robe Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then am I dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.]
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
HYMN 8. C. M. The tree of life.

2 While once upon this lower ground Weary and faint ye stood, What dear refreshments here ye found From this immortal food!
3 The tree of life that near the throne In heaven's high garden grows, Laden with grace, bends gently down Its ever- smiling boughs.
4[ Hovering amongst the leaves there stands The sweet celestial Dove,
And Jesus on the branches hangs The banner of his love.]
5[' Tis a young heaven of strange delight, While in his shade we sit; His fruit is pleasing to the sight, And to the taste as sweet.

The Spirit, the water, and the blood, John 5. 6.
Nor let our voices cease To sing the Saviour's Name; Jesus th' ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came!
5
It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good.
6
My Saviour's pierced side Pour'd out a double flood; By water we are purified, And pardon'd by the blood.
Infinite was our guilt,
But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offer'd with his groans.]
Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart.

There on the cursed tree In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies.

2 But in the grace that rescu'd man His rightest form of glory shines; Here on the cross' tis fairest drawn, In precious blood and crimson lines,
3[ Here his whole Name appears complete; Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove Which of the letters best is writ, The power, the wisdom, or the love.]
4 Here I behold his inmost heart,
Where grace and vengeance strangely join, Piercing his Son with sharpest smart, To make the purchas'd pleasures mine. 50 the sweet wonders of that cross
Where God the Saviour lov'd and died! Her noblest life my spirit draws
From his dear wounds and bleeding side. 6 I would for ever speak his Name
In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at his Father's throne.
HYMN 11. C. M.

2 There the rich bounties of our God,
And sweetest glories shine; There Jesus says, that" I am his, " And my Beloved's mine."
3" Here,"( says the kind redeeming Lord, And shows his wounded side,) " See here the spring of all your joys, " That open'd when I died."
4[ He smiles, and cheers my mournful heart, And tells of all his pain,
" All this," says he," I bore for thee;" And then he smiles again.]
5 What shall we pay our heavenly King For grace so vast as this? He brings our pardon to our eyes, And seals it with a kiss.
6[ Let such amazing loves as these Be sounded all abroad, Such favours are beyond degrees, And worthy of a God.]
7[ To him that wash'd us in his blood Be everlasting praise, Salvation, honour, glory, power, Eternal as his days.]
HYMN 12. L. M.
The gospel feast, Luke 14. 16,& c. TOW rich are thy provisions, Lord!
The fruits of life o'erspread the board, The cup o'erflows with heavenly love.
2 Thine ancient family the Jews,
Were first invited to the feast; We humbly take what they refuse, And Gentiles thy salvation taste.

3 We are the poor, the blind, the lame, And help was far, and death was nigh, But at the gospel- call we came, And every want receiv'd supply.
4 From the highway that leads to hell, From paths of darkness and despair, Lord, we are come with thee to dwell, Glad to enjoy thy presence here.]

198
HYMNS.
5[ What shall we pay th' eternal Son, That left the heaven of his abode, And to this wretched earth came down To bring us wanderers back to God. 6 It cost him death to save our lives, To buy our souls it cost his own; And all the unknown joys he gives, Were bought with agonies unknown.
Book III.

While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores!
2 Here every bowel of our God With soft compassion rolls, Here peace and pardon bought with blood Is food for dying souls.
3[ While all our hearts and all our songs Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry with thankful tongues, " Lord, why was I a guest?
4" Why was I made to hear thy voice, " And enter while there's room? " When thousands make a wretched choice, " And rather starve than come."]
5' Twas the same love that spread the feast That sweetly forc'd us in, Else we had still refus'd to taste, And perish'd in our sin.
6[ Pity the nations, O our God, Constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious word abroad, And bring the strangers home.
7 We long to see thy churches full, That all the chosen race
May with one voice, and heart, and scul, Sing thy redeeming grace.]

And wish to die as Simeon would, With his young Saviour in his arms. 2 Our lips should learn that joyful song, Were but our hearts prepar'd like his; Our souls still willing to be gone, And at thy word depart in peace.
3 Here we have seen thy face, O Lord, And view'd salvation with our eyes, Tasted and felt the living word, The bread descending from the skies. 4 Thou hast prepar'd this dying Lamb, Hast set his blood before our face, To teach the terrors of thy Name, And show the wonders of thy grace. 5 He is our light; our morning star Shall shine on nations yet unknown; The glory of thine Israel here, And joy of spirits near the throne.

HYMN 15. C. M.
Our Lord Jesus at his own table.
Awakes a thankful tongue: How rich he spread his royal board, And bless'd the food, and sung.
2 Happy the men that eat this bread, But doubly bless'd was he That gently bow'd his loving head, And lean'd it, Lord, on thee.
3 By faith the same delights we taste As that great favourite did, And sit and lean on Jesus' breast, And take the heavenly bread.]

The bleeding Prince of Love; Each of us hope, he died for me, And then our griefs remove.

4 His soul, what agonies it felt When his own God withdrew! And the large load of all our guilt Lay heavy on him too.

Supported him to bear: Dying he conquer'd hell and sin, And made his triumph there.]
6 Grace, wisdom, justice join'd and wrought The wonders of that day:

Divine glories, and our graces.
OW are thy glories here display'd!
While at thy word we break the bread, And pour the flowing wine!
2 Here thy revenging justice stands, And pleads its dreadful cause; Here saving mercy spreads her hands, Like Jesus on the cross.
3 Thy saints attend with every grace On this great sacrifice: And love appears with cheerful face, And faith with fixed eyes.
4 Our hope in waiting posture sits, To heaven directs her sight; Here every warmer passion meets, And warmer powers unite.
5 Zeal and revenge perform their part, And rising sin destroy; Repentance comes with aching heart, Yet not forbids the joy.
6 Dear Saviour, change our faith to sight, Let sin for ever die;
Then shall our souls be all delight, And every tear be dry.
I CANNOT persuade myself to put a full period to these Divine Hymns, till I have addressed a special song of glory to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the Latin name of it, Gloria Patri, be retained in our nation from the Roman church, and though there may be some excesses of superstitious honour paid to the words of it, which may have wrought some unhappy prejudices in weaker Christians, yet I believe it still to be one of the noblest parts of Christian worship. The subject of it is the doctrine of the Trinity, which is that peculiar glory of the Divine Nature, that our Lord Jesus Christ has so clearly revealed unto men, and is so necessary to true Christianity. The action is praise, which is one of the most complete and exalted parts of heavenly worship. I have cast the song into a variety of forms, and have fitted it by a plain version, or a larger paraphrase, to be sung either alone, or at the conclusion of another Hymn. I have added also a few hosannas, or ascriptions of salvation to Christ, in the same manner, and for the same end.

We sing th' amazing deeds
We sing the glories of thy love Welcome sweet day of rest Well, the Redeemer's gone What different powers of grace and sin What equal honours shall we bring What happy men or angels these What mighty man, or mighty God What vain desires, and passions vain What shall the dying sinner do
Whence do your mournful thoughts arise When I can read my title clear When in the light of faith divine When I survey the wondrous cross
When the great Builder arch'd the skies When we are rais'd from deep distress When strangers stand and hear me tell When the first parents of our race Where are the mourners, saith the Lord Who can describe the joys that rise Who has believ'd thy word Who is this fair one in distress
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn Why does your face, ye humble souls Why do we mourn departing friends Why is my heart so far from thee Why should the children of a king Why should this earth delight us so Why should we start and fear to die With cheerful voice I sing
With holy fear and humble song With joy we meditate the grace
Y E angels round the throne
Ye sons of Adam, vain and young
rejoice, and Judah sing
