PSALM 46. Second Part. L.M.
God creates peace. (cont.)

5	"Be still, and learn that I am God, "I'll be exalted o'er the lands; "I will be known and fear'd abroad, "But still my throne in Zion stands."
6	O Lord of hosts, Almighty King; While we so near thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell.

PSALM 47. C.M.
Christ ascending and reigning

1	O FOR a shout of sacred joy,    To God the sov'reign King! Let ev'ry land their tongues employ,    And hymns of triumph sing.
2	Jesus, our God, ascends on high;    His heav'nly guards around Attend him rising thro' the sky,    With trumpet's joyful sound.
3	While angels shout and praise their King,    Let mortals learn their strains: Let all the earth his honours sing;    O'er all the earth he reigns.
4	Rehearse his praise with awe profound,    Let knowledge lead the song; Nor mock him with a solemn sound    Upon a thoughtless tongue.
5	In Israel stood his ancient throne,    He lov'd that chosen race; But now he calls the world his own,    And heathens taste his grace.
6	These western climes are all the Lord's,    Here Abraham's God is known; While pow'rs and princes, shields and swords    Submit before his throne.

PSALM 48. First Part. S.M.
The Church is the honour and safety of a nation.

1	GREAT is the Lord our God,    And let his praise be great; He makes his churches his abode,    His most delightful seat.
2	These temples of his grace,    How beautiful they stand! The honour of our native place,    And bulwarks of our land.
3	In Zion God is known,    A refuge in distress: How bright hath his salvation shone    Thro' all her palaces!
4	When Kings against her join'd,    And saw the Lord was there; In wild confusion of the mind    They fled with hasty fear.
5	When navies tall and proud    Attempt to spoil our peace, He sends his tempests roaring loud,    And sinks them in the seas.
6	Oft have our fathers told;    Our eyes have often seen; How well our God secures the fold,    Where his own sheep have been.
7	In ev'ry new distress,    We'll to his house repair: We'll think upon his wond'rous grace,    And seek deliv'rance there.

PSALM 48. Second Part. S.M.
The worship and order of the Church.

1	FAR as thy name is known,    The world declares thy praise:
