6 Conquer'd by Thee, at Thy right hand
All enemies shall fall;

All kings, all empires shall submit,
And own Thee, LORD of ALL.

7 But Thou must taste, it is decreed,
Affliction in the way;

Perfect through suff'rings, glory crowns
Thy head, in endless day.

PSALM 110. II. Metre. (P. M.)

1 ALL hail, victorious LORD,

At God's right hand above!

Triumphant o'er Thy foes!

Triumphant in Thy love!

To Thee our joyful songs we bring,
To Thee we bow, all-conquering King!
2 0 haste, victorious Prince,

That happy, glorious day,
When souls, like drops of dew,
Shall own Thy gentle sway:
O may it bless our longing eyes,
And bear our shouts beyond the skies.

3 All hail, exalted Priest!

To Thee our all we give ;
Enthron'd above the skies,
All homage to receive!
There deign in our behalf to plead;
Yea, there for ever intercede.

4 GOD shall exalt Thy head,

And Thy high throne maintain :

In triumph Thou shalt lead
All who oppose Thy reign;
Thy foes beneath Thy feet shall lie
Prostrate to all eternity.

PSALM 111.

(L.M.)

Appointed by the Church for Easter-day. It celebrates the blessings of redemption, and the new and everlasting Covenant.

. 1 WITH my whole heart I'll praise the LORD,

Amidst his saints His name record:

Great are His works, in glory bright,
Sought out by saints with great delight.
2 Honour and truth adorn His reign;
His counsels glorious shall remain !
MESSIAH reigns, the world to bless
With fruits of peace and righteousness.
3 His wondrous works the LORD makes known,
Ye saints, the sweet memorials own;
Eternal, gracious, just, and kind,

His Covenant He bears in mind.

4 He feeds His flock with heav'nly food,
He to His saints His glory shew'd;
The Cov'nant of His HOLY ONE,
Fix'd as His everlasting throne.

5 Let the whole earth His sceptre own,
His works in truth and judgment done;
His great redemption wide proclaim;
Holy and reverend is His name.

6 Begin to know and fear the LORD,
Obey His will; revere His word;
True wisdom shall direct Thy ways,
And endless glory crown Thy days.

PSALM 111. II. Metre. (L.M.)

1 PRAISE ye the LORD; our GOD to praise
My soul her utmost pow'rs shall raise ;
With private friends, and in the throng
Of saints, His praise shall be my song.
2 His works, for greatness though renown'd,
His wond'rous works with ease are found
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.

4 His bounty, like a flowing tide,
Has all His servant's wants supplied;
And He will ever keep in mind

His Cov'nant with our fathers sign'd.

5 GOD sets His saints from bondage free,
And thus fulfils His grand decree,
For ever to remain the same:
Holy and rev'rend is His name.

6 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.

PSALM 112. II. Metre. (L.M.)

1 THRICE happy man who fears the LORD,132 Loves His commands, and trusts His word;

Honour and peace his days attend,

And blessings to his seed descend...
2 Compassion dwells upon his mind;
To works of mercy still inclin'd,
He lends the poor some present aid,
Or gives them, not to be repaid.

3 When times grow dark, and tidings spread
That fill his neighbours round with dread,
His heart is arm'd against the fear,
For GoD with all His pow'r is there,
4 His soul, well fix'd upon the LORD,
Draws heav'nly courage from His word;
Amidst the darkness light shall rise,
To cheer his heart, and bless his eyes.
5 He hath dispers'd his alms abroad;
His works are still before his GOD;
His hands, while they his alms bestow'd,
His glory's future harvest sow'd.

PSALM 113.

(S.M.)

Appointed by the Church for Easter-day. An exhortation to praise the name of JEHOVAH, his glory, condescension, and mercy, in the redemption of man.

1 THE name of GOD adore,

Ye servants of the LORD;

From this time forth, for evermore,
His sacred name record.

2 Let rising suns proclaim,

And setting suns resound,
The glory of JEHOVAH's name,
Through all creation round.

3 In heav'n, His blest abode,
JEHOVAH dwells on high:

Who's like unto the LORD our GOD?
His glory fills the sky.
