Shall all, (redeem'd from error's night,)
Appear more numerous and bright
Than crystal drops of morning dew."
3 The LORD hath sworn, nor sworn in

vain,

That, like Melchisedec's, thy reign
And priesthood shall no period see:
Anointed Prince! thou, bending low,
Bhalt drink where darkest torrents
flow,

Then raise thy head in victory!

By those who seek for them aright,
And in the pious search delight.

3 His works are all of matchless fame,
And universal glory claim;
His truth, confirm'd through ages past,
shall to eternal ages last.

Shines brightest in affliction's night;
To pity the distress'd inclin'd,
As well as just to all mankind.
3 His lib'ral favours he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends,
Yet what his charity impairs
He saves by prudence in affairs.

4 Beset with threat'ning dangers
round,

Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground;
The sweet remembrance of the just
Shall flourish when he sleeps in dust.

;

4 By precepts he hath us enjoin'd
To keep his wondrous works in mind:
And to posterity record
That good and gracious is our LORD.
5 His bounty, like a flowing tide,
Has all his servants' wants supplied;
And he will ever keep in mind
His cov'nant with our fathers sign'd.
6 Just are the dealings of his hands,
Immutable are his commands,
By truth and equity sustain'd,
And for eternal rules ordain'd,

7 He set his saints from bondage
And then establish'd his decree,
For ever to remain the same:
Holy and rev'rend is his Name.
8 Who wisdom's sacred prize would
win

Must with the fear of God begin:
Immortal praise and heav'nly skill
Have they who know and do his will.

From the cxv. Psalm of David.

But to thy sacred Name
Give glory, for thy mercy's sake,

9 In Gon I trusted, and of him

Though in my trouble I exclaim'd,
All men are insincere.

10 O what return to GoD shall I
For all his goodness make?
I'll praise his Name, and with glad zeal
The cup of blessing take.

I never will despair,

But still in all the straits of life
To him address my pray'r.

When troubles seiz'd my aching heart,
And anguish rack'd my breast,-

And thus to him I pray'd;
"LORD, I beseeck the save my soul,
With sorrows quite dismay'd."
5 How just and merciful is God,
How gracious is the LORD!
Who saves the harmless, and to me
Does timely help afford.

soul,

Resume thy wonted rest;
For God has wond'rously to thee
