4 Enthron'd in glorious state,
In robes of light array'd,

He views, with condescension great,
The earth and heav'ns He made.

5 His kind compassions tell;

The poor partake His grace;

Rais'd from the dust with Him to dwell, D ́A In heav'n's exalted place.

6 Ye barren lands, rejoice;

Zion, His praise record;

Children unnumber'd join their voice;
Praise ye, O praise the LORD.

PSALM 113. II. Metre. (Old 113.)

1 YE saints and servants of the LORD,
The triumphs of His name record,
His sacred name for ever bless;
Where'er the circling sun displays
His rising beams or setting rays,
Due praise to His great name address.
2 GOD through the world extends His sway,
The regions of eternal day

But shadows of His glory are:
With Him whose majesty excels,

Who made the heav'n in which He dwells,
Let no created pow'r compare.

3 Though 'tis beneath His state to view
In highest heav'n what angels do,
Yet He to earth vouchsafes His care ;

The poor He raiseth from the dust,
Exalting him among the just,

The blessing of His grace to share.

4 0 then His pow'r and grace declare,
His love divine, His guardian care,
Trust in His ever-faithful word;
Adore His everlasting fame,
Extol the honours of His name :
Who, who is like unto the Lord ?

PSALM 114.

(C.M.)

Appointed by the Church for Easter-day. It celebrates the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, as a figure of the redemption of our nature by the resurrection of MESSIAH.

1 WHEN Israel out of Egypt came,
And led the tribes from thence;

Their sanctuary was JEHOVAH's name,
Dominion and defence.

2 The sea stood back amaz'd to view;
Mountains convuls'd with fear;
And Jordan's streams, aghast, withdrew,
Because the LORD was there.

3 Streams flow'd from rocks of rugged stone,
Obedient at His word;

Tremble, O earth, adore and own

The presence of the LORD.

The Church ascribeth to God the glory of her sulvation, and calls upon her children to praise and extol his mercy.

1 NOT unto us, but to Thy name, of
O LORD, be glory giv'n;
Thy truth and mercy we'll proclaim,
And raise the theme to heav'n.

2 Our GoD on high exalted reigns,
Let idols prostrate fall;
What He approves, His will ordains,
JEHOVAH, LORD of all.

3 Thou hast been mindful of us, Lord,
Thou wilt Thy Israel bless;
To small and great wilt grace afford,
The fruits of righteousness.

4 Zion, thy children shall increase,
And in succession rise;

Blest of the LORD, the GOD of peace,
The LORD of earth and skies.

5 Rais'd from the tomb His saints shall soar, And round His throne record

Their songs of praise for evermore :
Praise ye, O praise the LORD.

PSALM 116.

A psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance from tri£ bulation, a holy determination to receive the o of salvation and make a publie acknowledgment of the mercies of JEHOVAH.

1 LOVE the LORD, He heard my prayer; voll & I My suppliant voice He deign'd to hear; T

Long as I live, will I proclaim
His love, and call upon His name.
2 Pain and distress encompass'd round;
To Him I fled, and refuge found:
With holy joy I now record,

Gracious and righteous is the LORD.
3 Return unto thy rest, my soul,
Thy GoD, who did thy fears controul,
Sav'd thee from death, thine eyes from tears,
Restor'd to life, reliev'd thy fears.

4 GOD views His children with delight,
Their death is precious in His sight;
LORD, I am Thine; I'll live to Thee,
Thou loos'd my bonds, and set me free.
5 Thy courts I love; within Thy house
With grateful joy, I'll pay my vows;
Assembled saints their songs shall join,
And praise, eternal praise, be Thine.

PSALM 116. II. Metre. (c. M.) 1 WHAT shall I render to my GoD, For all His kindness shown?

My feet shall visit Thine abode,
My songs address Thy throne.

2 Among the saints that fill Thine house,
My off'rings shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.

3 How much is mercy Thy delight,
Thou ever-blessed GOD!

How dear Thy servants in Thy sight! mait How precious is their blood!

4 How happy all Thy servants are! 70538 How great Thy grace to me!

My life, which Thou hast made Thy care, (LORD, I devote to Thee.

5 Now I am Thine, for ever Thine, Nor let my purpose move;

Thy hand has loos'd my bands of pain,
And bound me with Thy love.

6 Here in Thy courts I pay my vow,
And Thy rich grace record;
O all ye saints, who hear me now,
Praise ye, O praise the LORD.
