PRaise ye the Lord praise ye his Name Ye Servants of the Lord His Name be now and ever blest Of all with one accord Ev'n from the rising of the Sun Unto his going down Must we proclaim the Lord's High Praise And give his Name Renown 4 5 6.

Happy is he whose certain Help From Jacob's God descends Thrice happy he whose fixed Hope On God his God depends Who form'd the Earth Heav'ns high frame Who made the swelling Deep And all that is within the same Who Truth doth ever keep 7 8. Who with right Judgment still proceeds For those that be opprest Takes care that hungry Souls be fed And Pris'ners be releas'd The Lord doth give the blind their sight The bowed down doth raise In righteous men he takes delight And loveth them always 9 10. Strangers and Widows he preserves The Orphans Cause doth own But as for sinners prosp'rous state He turns it upside down The Lord shall reign eternally Thy God O Sion Hill Shall reign to all Posterity O praise him praise him still Hymn XLIV Psal.

Although the raging Waters make The Mountains with their swelling shake Yet calmer Rivers do embrace God's City his fair Dwelling-place Whose Tabernacles by his Love Are kept that they can never move For he in times of great distress His early succour will address 6 7 9 10 11. The threatning Tempest he allays And is his People's strength and praise He maketh Strife and Wars to cease And crowns the trembling Earth with Peace This is our God whose awful sway Both Heav'n and Earth must still obey The Lord of Hosts is with his own And Jacob's God their Refuge known Hymn LX. Psal. 93.1 2. THE Lord doth Reign and like a King Puts on his Robes of Glorious Light Tremble thou Earth when he appears Clothed and girt with boundless Might 2. Under his Rule th'unquiet World Will gain Establishment and Peace Of old his Empire did begin And like himself shall never cease 3. In vain the World 's Rebellious Pow'rs In tumults and commotions rise Like the enraged Floods that swell And bid defiance to the Skies 4. The Lord on high is mightier far Than all this loud and threatning Noise And the proud Sea's unruly VVaves Are still'd by his commanding Voice 5.
