PSALM 89. Second Part. L.M.
The faithfulness of God. (cont.)
4 |
His seed for ever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subject of his grace,
Shall to that glory rise.
|
5 |
Lord God of hosts, thy wond'rous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honours raise
To thy unchanging love.
|
PSALM 89. Third Part. C.M.
The power and majesty of God.
1 |
WITH rev'rence let thy saints appear,
And bow before the Lord;
His high commands adoring hear,
And tremble at his word. HL Note
|
2 |
How terrible thy glories be!
How bright thine armies shine!
Where is the pow'r that vies with thee?
Or truth compar'd with thine?
|
3 |
The northern pole and southern rest
On thy supporting hand;
Darkness and day from east to west
Move round at thy command.
|
4 |
Thy words the raging winds control,
And rule the boist'rous deep:
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep. HL Note
|
5 |
Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea are thine,
And the dark world of hell;
How did thine arm in vengeance shine
When Egypt durst rebel!
|
6 |
Justice and judgment are thy throne,
Yet wond'rous is thy grace;
While truth and mercy, join'd in one,
Invite us near thy face.

PSALM 89. Fourth Part. C.M.
A blessed Gospel.
1 |
BLEST are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
|
2 |
Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Thro' their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.
|
3 |
The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives;
Israel, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.
|
PSALM 89. Fifth Part. C.M.
Christ's mediatorial Kingdom.
1 |
HEAR what the Lord in vision said,
And made his mercy known;
"Sinners, behold, your help is laid
"On my almighty Son."
|
2 |
High shall he reign on David's throne,
My people's better King;
My arm shall beat his rivals down,
And still new subjects bring.
|
3 |
My truth shall guard him in his way,
With mercy by his side;
While in my name thro' earth and sea
He shall in triumph ride.
|
4 |
My cov'nant stands for ever fast,
My promises are strong;
Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last,
His seed endure as long.
