PSALM CXLI.

New Year's Day.

Common Metre.

I.

ND now, my foul, another year,
Of my short life is past:

I cannot long continue here,

And this may be my laft.

Awake, my foul, with utmost care
Thy true condition learn:

What are thy hopes, how fore, how fair?
And whet thy chief concern?

Now a new fcene of time begins,

Set out therewith for heav'n: Repent of all thy former fins, Reform, and be forgiv'n..

And to his care commend:
Wits zeal purfue the heav'nly road,
Nor doubt an happy end.

The LORD is our Shepherd.

As the 113 PSALM.

I.

THE LORD my pafture shall prepare,
And feed me with a fhepherd's care:

His prefence fhall my wants fupply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks he fhall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.

II.

When in the fultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant;
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary wand'ring fteps he leads;
Where peaceful rivers foft and flow
Amid the verdant landscape flow.

III.

Tho' in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors over-fpread,
My ftedfast heart fhall fear no ill,
For thou, O LORD, art with me ftill;
Thy friendly hand fhall give me aid,
And guide me thro' the dreadful fhade.

IV.

Tho' in a bare and rugged way,
Thro' devious lonely wilds 1 ftray,
Thy bounty fhall my pains beguile,
The barren wilderness fhall fmile,
With fudden greens and herbage crown'd;
And ftreams fhall murmur all around.

PSALM CXLIII.

The LORD's Prayer imitated.

Common Metre.

Thy children form'd and blefs'd by thee,
Approach thy heav'nly feat.
