3 What shall I render to the Lord,
Whose love is still the same?
Salvation's sacred cup I take,
And call upon His name.

4 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.

PSALM CXVII. L. M.

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends thy word;

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

3 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

PSALM CXVIII.

C. M.

1 THIS is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours his own:

Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround His throne.

2 To-day He rose, and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell;

To-day the saints his triumphs spread, And all his wonders tell.

3 Hosannah to th' anointed King, To David's holy Son!

Help us, O Lord; descend, and bring Salvation from thy throne.

4 Best be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace;

Who comes in God the Father's name,
To save our sinful race.

5 Hosannah, in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise !
The highest heav'ns, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.

PSALM CXVIII. Second Version. 7s.

1 LIFT your voice, and thankful sing
Praises to your Heav'nly King;
For his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

2 Israel thy Creator bless,

And with joyful tongue confess,
That his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

3 Ye who make his will your care,
With assenting voice declare,
That his mercies far extend,
And his bounty knows no end.

PSALM CXIX.

C. M.

10 THAT the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still!

O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do his will.

2 Lord, send thy Spirit down, to write
Thy law upon my heart;

Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor acts the liar's part.

3 From vanity turn off my eyes;
Let no corrupt design,
No covetous desire, arise
Within this soul of mine.

4. Make me to walk in thy commands-
'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God.

PSALM CXIX. Second Version. C. M.
1 LORD, I have found 'tis good for me
To bear thy chastening rod:
Afflictions make me learn thy law,
And bring me to my God.

2 Had not thy word been my delight, When earthly joys were fled,

My soul, oppress'd with sorrow's weight,
Had sunk among the dead.

3 I know thy judgments, Lord, are right,
Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest suff'rings I endure
Flow from thy faithful care.

4 Before I felt thy chast'ning rod,
My feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep thy word,
Nor wander from thy way.

PSALM CXIX. Third Version. C. M.

1 How shall the young preserve their
From all pollution free?

By making still their course of life
With thy commands agree.

2 With hearty zeal for Thee I seek,
To Thee for succour pray;
O suffer not my careless steps
From thy right paths to stray,

8 Safe in my heart, and closely hid,
Thy word, my treasure, lies;
To succour me with timely aid,
When sinful thoughts arise,

4 Secur❜d by that, my grateful soul
Shall ever bless thy Name:
O teach me then by thy just laws
My future life to frame.

PSALM CXXI. C. M.

1 FROM Zion's bills our help descends; To them we lift our eyes:

Our strength on God alone depends, Who form'd the earth and skies.

2 Around his saints, array'd in might,
His guardian shield He spreads;
Nor sun by day, nor moon by night,
Shall smite their favor'd heads.

3 He, ever watchful, ever nigh,
Forbids their feet to slide;
Nor sleep nor slumber seals the eye
Of Israel's Guard and Guide.

4 He shall preserve their souls from sin,
He shall their strength restore;
Their going out and coming in,
Shall bless for evermore.

PSALM CXXIV. P. M.

1 HAD God forsook us, when our foes, In adverse hosts against us rose; Had God, we now may surely say, Forsook us in the dreadful day,
