3 When I walk through the shades of death Thy presence is my stay;

One word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

4 Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.
5 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;

Oh may thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise!

6 There would I find a settled rest,
(While others go and come,)
No more a stranger or a guest,
But like a child at home.

PSALM 23. THIRD PART. S. M.

THE Lord my shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied;

Since he is mine, and I am his,
What can I want beside?

2 He leads me to the place

Where heavenly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows.

3 If c'er I go astray,

He doth my soul reclaim,

And guides me in his own right way,

For his most holy name.

4 While he affords his aid,

I cannot yield to fear;

Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade,
My shepherd's with me there.

5 Amid surrounding foes
Thou dost my table spread,
My cup with blessings overflows
And joy exalts my head.

6 The bountics of thy love

Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise.

PSALM 24. FIRST PART. C. M.

THE earth for ever is the Lord's,

With Adam's numerous race; He raised its arches o'er the floods, And built it on the seas.

2 But who among the sons of men
May visit thine abode?

He that has hands from mischief clean,
Whose heart is right with God.

3 This is the man may rise and take
The blessings of his grace;
This is the lot of those that seek
The God of Jacob's face.

4 Now let our souls' immortal

powers

To meet the Lord prepare,
Lift up their everlasting doors,
The King of glory 's near.
5 The King of glory! who can tell
The wonders of his might?
He rules the nations; but to dwell
With saints is his delight.

PSALM 24. SECOND PART. L. M.

HIS spacious earth is all the Lord's,

TH

And men and worms, and beasts and birds;

He raised the building on the seas,

And

gave

it for their dwelling place.

2 But there's a brighter world on high,
Thy palace, Lord, above the sky;
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his maker, God?
3 He that abhors and fears to sin,

Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean,
Him shall the Lord, the Saviour bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.
4 These are the men, the pious race,
That seek the God of Jacob's face;
These shall enjoy the blissful sight,
And dwell in everlasting light.
5 Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the King of glory nigh.
Who can this King of glory be?
The mighty Lord, the Saviour's he.
6 Ye heavenly gates, your leaves display,
To make the Lord, the Saviour way:
Laden with spoils from earth and hell,
The conqueror comes with God to dwell.
7 Raised from the dead in royal state,
He opens heaven's eternal gate,

To give

his saints a blest abode,

Near their Redeemer and their God.

PSALM 25. FIRST PART. S. M.

LIFT my soul to God,

My trust is in his name;

Let not the foes that seek my blood
Still triumph in my shame.

2 Sin and the powers of hell

Would tempt me to despair;

Lord, make me know thy covenant well,
That I may 'scape the snare.

3 From the first dawning light
Till evening shades arise,
For thy salvation, Lord, I wait,
With ever-longing eyes.

4 Remember all thy grace,

And lead me in thy truth:
Forgive the sins of riper days,
And follies of my youth.

5 The Lord is just and kind,

The meek shall learn his ways,
And every humble sinner find
The methods of his grace.

6 For his own goodness sake

He saves my soul from shame;
He pardons (though my guilt be great)
Through my Redeemer's name.

PSALM 25. SECOND PART. S. M.
THERE shall the man be found

That fears t' offend his God,

That loves the gospel's joyful sound,
And trembles at the rod?

2 The Lord shall make him know
The secrets of his heart,
The wonders of his covenant show,
And all his love impart.

3 The dealings of his power
Are truth and mercy still,

With such as keep his covenant sure,
And love to do his will.

4 Their souls shall dwell at ease
Before their Maker's face,

Their seed shall taste the promises
In their extensive grace.

PSALM 25. THIRD PART. S. M.

MINE eyes and

my

desire

Are ever to the Lord,

I love to plead his promised grace
And rest upon his word.

2 Turn, turn thee to my soul,
Bring thy salvation near;
When will thy hand release my feet
Out of the deadly snare?

3 When shall the sovereign grace
Of my forgiving God,

Restore me from those dangerous ways
My wandering feet have trod?

4 With every morning light

My sorrow new begins;

Look on my anguish and my pain,
And pardon all my sins.
5 O keep my soul from death,
Nor put my hope to shame,
For I have placed my only trust
In my Redeemer's name.

6 With humble faith I wait
To see thy face again;

Of Israel it shall ne'er be said,
He sought the Lord in vain.

PSALM 26. L. M.

UDGE me, O Lord, and prove my ways,

JUD

And try my reins, and try my heart;

My faith upon thy promise stays,
Nor from thy law my feet depart.

2 I hate to walk, I hate to sit
With men of vanity and lies;
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.
