Praise.
1 PRAISE ye the Lord! let praise employ,
In his own courts, your songs of joy;
The spacious firmament around
Shall echo back the joyful sound.
2 Recount his works in strains divine,
His wondrous works, how bright they shine!
Praise him for all his mighty deeds,
Whose greatness all your praise exceeds.
3 Awake the trumpet's piercing sound,
To spread your sacred pleasure round;
While softer musick tunes the lute,
The warbling harp, the breathing flute.
5 Let the loud cymbal sound on high,
To softer, deeper notes reply;
Harmonious, let the concert rise,
And bear the rapture to the skies.
6 Let all whom life and breath inspire
Attend and join the blissful choir
But chiefly ye who know his word,
Adore, and love, and praise the Lord!
4 Ye virgin train, with joy advance,
To praise him in the graceful dance;
Awake each voice, and strike each string,
And to the solemn organ sing.
First Lines of the Psalms, referring to the Pages.
ALMIGHTY Father, gracious Lord
Almighty Ruler of the skies
Among the gods there's none like thee
And will the God of grace
And will the great eternal God
Approach, ye piously dispos'd
Arise, my tender thoughts, arise
As pants the hart for cooling streams
As showers on meadows newly mown
Attend, O earth, when God declares
Awake, my soul, to hymns of praise
Awake, ye saints, to praise your King
Awake, ye tempests, and his fame
BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne
Before the hills in order stood
Begin, my soul, th' exalted lay
Behold, O God, how cruel foes
Behold the corner stone
Behold the fool, whose heart denies
Behold the love, the generous love
Behold the morning sun
Behold the rising dawn appear
Beneath God's terrors doom'd to groan
Beneath my God's protecting arm
Bless God, O my soul
Bless, O my soul, the living God
Blest are the sons of peace

Blest are the souls who hear and know
Blest is the man who fears the Lord
Blest is the man whose tender care
Blest is the man who shuns the place
COME, let our souls address the Lord
Come, O ye saints, your voices raise
Come sound his praise abroad
Consider all my sorrows, Lord
DAVID rejoic'd in God his strength
Deep in our hearts let us record
Descend from heaven, almighty Lord
EARLY my God, without delay
FAIREST of all the lights above
Far from our friends and country dear
Father, I bless thy gentle hand
Father, I sing thy wondrous grace
Firm was my health, my day was bright
Fools in their hearts believe and say
For ever shall my song record
For thee, O God, our constant praise
From age to age exalt his name
From deep distress and troubled thoughts
From thee, great Lord of life and death
From Zion's hill my help descends
GIVE ear, ye children, to my law
Give thanks to God, he reigns above
Give thanks to God, invoke his name
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Give to our God immortal praise
God in the great assembly stands
God is our refuge in distress
God is the Lord, the heavenly King
God, my supporter and my hope

God of eternal love
God of my life, whose bounteous care
God of our strength, to thee we cry
God's perfect law converts the soul
Great is the Lord our God
Great is the Lord, our souls adore
Great God, attend my humble call
Great God, attend while Zion sings
Great God, indulge my humble claim
Great God, our haughty foes repel
Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame
Great God, while nature speaks thy praise
Great God, whose universal sway
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Great Shepherd of thine Israel
HAD not the Lord, may Israel say
Happy the nation where the Lord
Hear, O my God, with pity hear
Hear what the Lord in vision said
Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail
He's bless'd whose sins have pardon gain'd
High in the heavens, eternal God.
How blest are they who always keep
How does my heart rejoice
How long, O Lord, shall wicked men
How long wilt thou conceal thy face
How often have our restless foes
JESUS shall reign where'er the sun
If God to build the house deny
I'll praise my Maker with my breath
In all my vast concerns with thee
In anger, Lord, rebuke me not
Incumbent on the bending sky
Indulgent God, with pitying eye.
