PSALM 99. Second Part. S.M.
A holy God worshipped with reverence. (cont.)
2 |
When Israel was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,
When Moses cried, when Samuel pray'd,
He gave his people rest.
|
3 |
Oft he forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft he made his vengeance known
When they abus'd his grace.
|
4 |
Exalt the Lord our God;
His grace is still the same:
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.
|
PSALM 100. First Part. L.M.
Praise to our Creator.
1 |
BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy:
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy. HL Note
|
2 |
His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men;
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.
|
3 |
We are his people, we his care;
Our souls and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honours shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?
|
4 |
We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs;
High as the heav'n our voices raise:
And earth with her ten thousand tongues
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
|
5 |
Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love:
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand;
When rolling years shall cease to move.

PSALM 100. Second Part. P.M.
A general song of praise.
1 |
SING to the Lord most high;
Let ev'ry land adore:
With grateful voice make known
His goodness and his pow'r.
Let cheerful songs declare his ways,
And let his praise inspire your tongues.
|
2 |
Enter his courts with joy;
With fear address the Lord:
He form'd us with his hand,
And quicken'd by his word.
With wide command he spreads his sway
O'er ev'ry sea, and ev'ry land.
|
3 |
His hands provide our food,
And ev'ry blessing give:
We feed upon his care,
And in his pastures live.
With cheerful songs declare his ways,
And let his praise inspire your tongues,
|
4 |
Good is the Lord, our God,
His truth and mercy sure;
While earth and heav'n shall last,
His promises endure.
With bounteous hand he spreads his sway
O'er ev'ry sea, and ev'ry land.
|
PSALM 101. First Part. L.M.
The magistrate's psalm.
1 |
MERCY and judgment are my song:
And since they both to thee belong,
My gracious God, my righteous King,
To thee my songs and vows I'll bring. HL Note
|
2 |
If I am rais'd to bear the sword,
I'll take my counsels from thy word:
