positions of the late Bishop Heber; and that Mr. Montgomery, also, has allowed of the free use of his published Hymns, and has had the further kindness to supply a few Originals.

EVANGELICAL APPLICATION AND USE OF THE PSALMS.

The Commentary of the late Bp. Horne on the Book of Psalms greatly strengthened and extended the conviction, that the Evangelical Use of the Psalter was, in a considerable measure, withheld from those.Members of the Established Church who were confined in their Psalmody to the Old and New Versions.

That Commentary proceeds on the following principle, laid down by the Bishop in his remarks on the Seventy-eighth Psalm—

The History of Old Israel somewhat resembles the letter of the Gospel Parables; and contains, shadowed out under it, the History of a correspondent state of things in the New Israel, or Church Christian: and, although the Psalm, like a large and capacious palace, be laid out into a multitude of different apartments; yet, perhaps, we may find, that the Scriptures of the New Testament will furnish us with a Key, which will gain us admission into every one of them, and put us in possession of the treasures of Divine Wisdom therein deposited.

Other Denominations of Christians had, in a great degree, long enjoyed, in Dr. Watts's Version, the true savour and spirit of the Psalter; which entirely pervade, with a much closer adherence to the Original, the recent Version of the late Rev. William Goode: by the permission of the family of his deceased friend, the Editor has made ample use of the last-mentioned Version.

All power and grace to God belong.

Hail, Man of Sorrows! we adore.
Haste, haste, O my God, to my aid..
Hear me, O God! my voice attend..
Hear my prayer, Jehovah, hear...
He reigns! the Lord the Saviour reigns
He shall countless blessings find
He that hath made his refuge God
High in the heavens, Eternal God
High o'er the heavens, supreme, alone.
How did my heart rejoice to hear..
How fast their guilt and sorrows rise
How long, Eternal God, how long
How long! O Lord! return, return..
How long wilt thou conceal thy face
How pleasant, how divinely fair

How various, Lord, thy works are found..

Let all in thy favour rejoice...

Lo! o'er the stormy main..

Lord, hast Thou cast thy servants off?

Lord I am vile, conceiv'd in sin..

Th' Incarnate God appears!

Thine anger, Lord-thine anger's just!.
Think, Mighty God, on feeble man
This is the day the Lord hath made
Thou art my portion, O my God
Though I have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord.
Thou God of Love! Thou ever-blest.
Thou gracious God and kind..

"Thou gracious God, when Satan's power
Thou, gracious Lord, my vows didst hear.
Thou Great Instructor, lest I stray..
Thou, Jehovah, God o'er all!

Thou, Lord, art good! fresh acts of grace.
Thou, Lord, art good; nor only good.
Thro' earth the Saviour's name shall spread.
Through all the changing scenes of life..
Thus saith the Lord, "Your work is vain"
Thy Church, thy Vineyard, Lord, behold
Thy favour, gracious Lord, impart
Thy glories, Mighty God!.

Thy goodness, Lord, how great..
