PSALM 16. Third Part. L.M.
The hope and heaven of believers. (cont.)

4	Hath joys substanial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there?
5	O glorious hour O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God! And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul.
6	My flesh shall slumber in the ground, 'Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise. And in my Saviour's image rise.

PSALM 18. First Part. L.M.
Deliverance from despair.

1	THEE will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defence: Thy mighty arm shall be my trust: For I have found salvation thence.
2	Death, and the terrors of the grave, Spread over me their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid.
3	I saw the opening gates of hell With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel, can tell; While I was hurry'd to despair.
4	In my distress I call'd my God, When I could scarce believe him mine: He bow'd his ear to my complaints; Then did his grace appear divine.
5	With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub's wing he rode: Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliv'rer, God.
6	Temptations fled at his rebuke, Dispell'd by his almighty breath;

PSALM 18. First Part. L.M.
Deliverance from despair. (cont.)

1	He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the depths of death.
2	Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still, In all the wars that devils wage.
3	My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord Due to his mercy and his pow'r.

PSALM 18. Second Part. L.M.
Christian Sincerity.

1	LORD, thou hast form'd my soul sincere, Hast made thy truth and love appear: Before mine eyes I set thy laws, And thou has own'd my righteous cause.
2	Since I have learn'd thy holy ways, I've walk'd upright before thy face: And if my feet from thee depart. It grieves my soul, it wounds my heart.
3	What sore temptations broke my rest! What wars and strugglings in my breast! But, thro' thy grace that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin.
4	The sin that close besets me still. That works and strives against my will: When shall thy Spirit's sov 'reign pow'r Destroy it, that it rise no more?
5	With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward: The kind and faithful soul shall find A God all faithful and most kind.
6	The just and pure shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they:
