HY works of glory, mighty LORD,
Thy wonders in the deeps,

THY of

The fons of courage fhall record,
Who trade in floating fhips.

II.

At thy command the winds arife,
And fwell the tow'ring waves:
The men astonish'd mount the fkies,
And fink in op'ning graves.

III.

Then to the LORD they raise their cries;

He hears the loud request;

And orders filence thro' the fkies,

And lays the floods to reft.

IV.

Sailors rejoice to lose their fears,

And see the storm allay'd:
Now to their eyes the port appears,
There let their vows be paid.

V.

'Tis GOD that brings them fafe to land;

Let thoughtless mortals know, That waves are under his command,

And all the winds that blow

VI.

O that the fons of men would praise
The goodnefs of the LORD!

And thofe who fee thy wond'rous ways,
Thy wond'rous love record.

PSALM XXV.

Preferving Goodness acknowledged.

Common Metre.

I.

OW are thy fervants bleft, O LORD!
How fure is their defence!

HOW

Eternal wifdom is their guide,
Their help omnipotence.

.II.

In foreign realms, and lands remote,

Supported by thy

care;

Through burning climes I pafs'd unhurt,
And breath'd in tainted air.

III.

Thy mercy fweeten'd ev'ry foil,

Made ev'ry region pleafe;

The hoary frozen hills it warm'd,

And smooth'd the boift'rous feas.
IV.

Think, O my foul, devoutly think,
How with affrighted eyes,

Thou faw'ft the wide extended deep,
In all its horrors rife !

E

V.

Confufion dwelt in ev'ry face,
And fear in ev'ry heart;

When waves on waves, and gulphs on gulphs,
O'ercame the pilot's art.

VI.

Yet then from all my griefs, O LORD,
Thy mercy fet me free;
Whilft in the confidence of pray'r
My foul took hold on thee.

VII.

For though in dreadful whirles we hung,
High on the broken wave;

I knew thou wer't not flow to hear,
Nor impotent to fave.

VIII.

The ftorm was laid, the winds retir'd,
Obedient to thy will:

The fea that roar'd at thy command,
At thy command was still.

IX.

In midft of dangers, fears, and death,
Thy goodness I'll adore;

And praife thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.

X.

My life, whilst thou preferv'ft my life,
Thy facrifice fhall be;

And death, when death fhall be my doom,
Shall join my foul to thee.

PSALM XXVI.

To the ONE GOD.

Long Metre.

I.

TERNAL GOD, almighty caufe

E OF earth, a dread, and worlds unknown:

The world fubmits to all thy laws,
Depends entire on thee alone.

€.

II.

Thy gorious being fingly stands,
Of all within it feif poffeft:

Controul'd by none are thy commands;
And in thy felf completely bleft.

III.

To thee alone ourfelves we owe;
Let heav'n and earth the homage pày:

All other Gods we difavow,

Deny their claims, renounce their sway.

IV.

In thee alone we feek for blifs,

Thou'

great original of love;

There all our wealth and treasure is;

'The world would infufficient

V.

prove.

Spread thy great name thro' Gentile lands,

Their idol deities dethrone :

Reduce the world to thy command,

And reign, as thou art GOD, alone.

PSALM XXVII. GOD Eternal.

Common Metre.

I.

ISE, rife, my foul, and leave the ground,
Stretch all thy thoughts abroad:

And raise up ev'ry tuneful found,
To praife the eternal GOD.

II.

His boundless years can ne'er decrease,
But ftill maintain their prime:
ETERNITY's his dwelling place,
And EVER is his time.
