So does his love exceed our praise,→ Exceed the highest hopes we raise. 5 Far as his Providence has plac'd The rising morning from the west, So far his pard'ning grace removes : The many sins of those, he loves. 6 All then in heaven his pow'r confess, And all on earth adore his grace; Thou too, my soul, his love proclaim, And crown with ceaseless praise his name. 19. For his Goodness and Grace. C. M. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.-PSALM cxlv. 15, 16. SWEET is the mem'ry of thy grace, 2 GOD reigns on high, but not confines. His goodness to the skies; Thro' the whole earth his bounty shines, And ev'ry want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy lib'ral haud provides their meat 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord! How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pard'ning word 5 Creatures, with all their endless race, 20. For his Grace. 7s. Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.- MEET and right it is to sing 2 Join, ye saints, the song around, 3 Praises here to thee we give, 4 Tho' th' injurious world exclaim, 21. For his Mercy. S. M. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Like as a Father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.-PSALM ciii. 8, 13. MY soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; 2 High as the heav'ns are rais'd 3 The pity of the Lord To those that fear his name, He knows our feeble frame. 4 Our days are as the 5 grass, If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, But thy compassions, Lord, And children's children ever find The word of promise sure. 6 My soul, repeat his praise,' 22. For his Mercy. L. M. O praise the Lord, all ye nations.-PSALM CXvii. I FROM all, that dwell below the skies Eternal are thy mercies, Lord, Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more. 23. For his Mercy. L. M. The Lord's mercies are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.-LAM. iii. 23. MY GOD, how endless is thy love! 2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, 3 I yield my powers to thy command, 24. For his Providence and Grace. L.M. Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; &c.-PSALM HIGH in the heav'ns, Eternal GOD, 2 For ever firm thy justice stands, 4 From the provisions of thy house Our souls are fed with sweet repast ; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. 5 Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promis'd in thy word! |
