home Hymn XXXI As the 100 Psalm NOt unto us Lord not to us But to thy Name the Praise we owe To thy free goodness and thy truth The springs whence all our Blessings flow Why should the Heathen ask in scorn Where is the God whom you adore In Heav'n he reigns but does on Earth What e're his Will ordain'd before Silver and Gold their Idols are And all their worth derive from thence With no Divinity inspir'd Since they are void of Life or Sense For tho' the Maker forms an Eye A Mouth or any other part He cannot give them sight or breath Nor lively motion by his Art Fond Men to think your Hands can make A God to which our knee should bow You trust what cannot help it self Statues have Sense as much as you The silent Grave cannot declare Thy wonders nor proclaim thy praise We 'll now begin that Blessed work Which shall continue all our days 110 Psalm as 100. THus spake the Lord unto his Son Sit thou advanc'd at my Right-hand Till all thy conquer'd Foes shall crouch And wait their doom from thy Command From Sion shall thy Word go forth Which like a Scepter thou shalt sway To bring the stubborn under rule And make them willingly obey Thy Conquest shall be great that day The numerous Converts thou shalt view Shall make an Army that exceeds The Chrystal drops of morning dew The Lord hath all his Truth ingag'd By Oath which he can never break To make thee an Eternal Priest Of th' Order of Melchizedeck And when he 's raised to his Throne Proud Monarchs that oppose his Reign Shall fall and all the wicked World That will not stoop to him be slain While he pursues this Work he 'll stoop To mean refreshments in the way But with a glorious reward God will his sufferings repay 103 Psalm as 100.

Psalm COme let us with united joys To God our voices raise With thankful hearts before him come And loudly sing his praise Our Lord is a great God and King In powers eminent Above all Gods him Angels serve And Princes represent The secrets of the Earth and strength Of Hills are in his Hand He made the Waters of the Sea And for their bounds dry Land To him that made us let us kneel And Adorations give Who are his People and the Sheep That on his Pastures live To day let 's hear his voice and not Such hard'ned Sinners prove As those that in the Wilderness Provoked God above They prov'd his Pow'r and saw his Works And griev'd him forty year Till wearied with that murm'ring race He could no longer bear He did their unbelief and base Ingratitude detest And in his anger sware they should Not come into his Rest Coll. 71.
