PSALM 35. Second Part. C. M. The love of Christ typified in David. 1 BEHOLD the love, the gen'rous love That holy David shows! Mark how his tender bowels move For his afflicted foes! 2 When they are sick, his soul complains, 3 How did his flowing tears condole 4 They groan'd and curs'd him on their bed; 5 O glorious type of heav'nly grace! 6 He, the true David, Israel's king, To save us rebels dead in sin, 1 PSALM 36. First Part. S. M. W HEN man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, He hath no faith of God within, "Nor fear before his eyes." 2 He walks awhile conceal'd In a self-flatt'ring dream; Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd, 3 His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair : New mischiefs to fulfil : 5 But there's a dreadful God, 7 How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! O never let my soul remove 1 Second Part. L. M. General providence and special grace. LORD, thy mercy, my sure hope, The highest orb of heav'n transcends; Thy sacred truth's unmeasur'd scope Beyond the spreading sky extends. 2 Thy justice like the hills remains; Unfathom❜d depths thy judgments are ; Thy providence the world sustains ; The whole creation is thy care. 3 Since of thy goodness all partake; With what assurance should the just Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make; 4 Such guests shall to thy courts be led; 5 With thee the springs of life remain; 1 O! let thy grace thy saints sustain : PSALM 87. First Part. C. M. W Or envy sinners waxing great, 2 As flow'ry grass, cut down at noon, So shall their glories vanish soon, 3 Then let me make the Lord my trust, 4 I, to my God, my ways commit, Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet, 5 Mine innocence shalt thou display; 6 The meek at last the earth possess, True riches, with abundant peace, 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his way, Tho' providence should long delay, ; Let sinners join to break your peace, 9 They have drawn out the threat'ning sword; Have bent the murd'rous bow, To slay the men, that fear the Lord, 10 My God shall break their bows, and burn Their persecuting darts: -1 Shall their own swords against them turn, PSALM 87. Second Part. C. M. WHY HY do the wealthy wicked boast, The meanest portion of the just 2 The wicked borrows of his friends, 3 His alms with lib'ral heart he gives His mem❜ry to long ages lives, 4 He fears to talk with lips profane, His ready tongue declares to men, 5 The law and gospel of the Lord Led by the Spirit and the word, 6 When sinners fall, the righteous stand 1 They shall possess the promis'd land, PSALM 37. Third Part. C. M. The way and end of the righteous and the wicked. MY Tho' they should fall, they rise again, 2 The Lord delights to see their ways, 3 The heav'nly heritage is theirs, 4 Wait on the Lord, ye sons of men, 5 The haughty sinner have I seen, Like a tall bay-tree fair and green, 6 And lo! he vanish'd from the ground, |
