PSALM I.

SBLESSED is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the un- godly,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the | scornful.

But his delight is the law of the | Lord;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;

and whatsoever he doeth shall | prosper.

The ungodly are not so:- but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth a- [ way:

The ungodly shall not stand in judgment,

SYM.

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous:

CH. 15. For the Lord knoweth the way of.. the righteous,
S
CH. 16. But the way of the ungodly..shall | perish.

CH. 15. 1 THE man is ever blest

Who shuns the sinner's ways,
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's | place,

His name fresh as the leaf shall live; -
His works are heavenly | fruit.

CH. 16. 4 Not so th' ungodly race; -
They no such blessings | find: -
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving | wind.

BOWRING.

FROM the recesses of a lowly spirit,
Our humble prayer ascends, -O| Fa..ther, I hear it;-
Borne on the trembling wings of fear.. and meekness;
For- give..its | weakness.

We know -we feel how mean, and how unworthy
The lowly sacrifice we | pour.. be- | fore thee;
What can we offer thee, O thou.. most | holy!-
But | sin..and | folly ?

- it leads us

We see thy hand
We hear thy voice
And then we turn away!

it supports us:it counsels,.. and it I courts us;yet still..thy | kindness For- gives..our | blindness.

Who can resist thy gentle call,- appealing

To every generous thought, and | grate.. ful | feeling?
O, who can hear the accents | of.. thy | mercy,

And nev..er love thee?

Kind Benefactor!-plant within this bosom
The seeds.. of | holiness,
In fragrance,

I and let them blossom
and in beauty bright.. and | vernal,
And spring.. e- [ternal.

Then place them in those everlasting gardens

Where angels walk, and seraphs.. are the wardens; Where every flower,- brought safe through | death's.. dark! Be- comes..im- | mortal.

portal,

1 OUR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, | last.. fare- | well,

A Comforter, a Guide,.. be- queathed
With us..to | dwell.

2 He breathes that gentle voice we hear,

Soft as the breeze.. of even,

That checks each fault, that | calms..each | fear,
And | speaks.. of | heaven.

[See Hymn 352.

LORD God of Israel, there is no other God like thee, in heaven above, - or in earth.. be- | neath; Who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk be- | fore thee.. with | all.. their | hearts;; And hast fulfilled it with thine | hand.. ..as it is.. this day.

Behold,

1

the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot.. con- | tain thee;

How much less this | house.. that | we.. have | builded? Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servants, and to their suppli- cations,..O| Lord..our | God.

Hearken unto the cry, and to the prayer

which thy servants pray be- | fore thee.. this | day; That thine eyes may be opened towards

=

[ night.. and day,

this house Even toward the place of which thou hast said,

"MY NAME,

MY NAME..SHALL BE THERE."

Hearken thou to the supplications of thy servants
when they shall I pray.. toward this | place;
And hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling-place;
and when.. thou | hearest,.. for- | give ;
justifying the righteous,
1

And,

do thou give them ac- cord.. ing | to.. their | righteous

ness.
