PSALM 72. First Part. L.M.
The kingdom of Christ. (cont.)

5	Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight.
6	The saints shall flourish in his days, Drest in the robes of joy and praise: Peace, like a river, from his throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

PSALM 72. Second Part. L.M.
The kingdom of Christ among the Gentiles.

1	JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journies run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, 'Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2	For him shall endless pray'r be made, And praises circle round his head: His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
3	People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.
4	Blessings abound where'er he reigns, The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest.
5	Where he displays his healing pow'r, Death and the curse are known no more: In him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings, than their father lost.
6	Let ev'ry creature rise and bring, Peculiar honours to our King: Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen,

PSALM 72. Third Part. C.M.
The glory of Christ.

1	THE mem'ry of Clirist's glorious name    Thro' endless years shall run; His spotless fame shall shine as bright    And lasting as the sun.
2	In him the nations of the world    Shall be completely blest; And his imputed righteousness    By ev'ry tongue confess'd.
3	Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord,    The God whom Israel fears; Who only wond'rous in his works,    Beyond compare appears.
4	Let earth be with his glory fill'd;    For ever bless his name; Whilst to his praise, the list'ning world    Their glad assent proclaim.

PSALM 73. First Part. S.M.
The mystery of Providence unfolded.

1	SURE there's a righteous God,    Nor is religion vain: Tho' men of vice may boast aloud,    And men of grace complain.
2	I saw the wicked rise,    And felt my heart repine; While haughty fools with scornful ease,    In robes of honour shine.
3	Pamper'd with wanton ease,    Their flesh looks full and fair; Their wealth rolls in like flowing seas,    And grows without their care.
4	Free from the plagues and pains,    That pious souls endure;
