For thro' thy wond'rous works, O Lord, Thou mak'st my heart rejoice;

The thoughts of them shall make me glad, And shout with cheerful voice.

PSALM XCV.

O COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our Almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's rock we praise.

Into his presence let us haste
To thank him for his favours past;
To him address; in joyful songs,
The praise that to his name belongs.

O let us to his courts repair,
And bow with adoration there;
Down on our knees devoutly all
Before the Lord our maker fall.

PSALM XCVIII.

SING to the Lord a new-made song,
Who wond'rous things has done;
With his right hand and holy arm
The conquest he has won.

The Lord has thro' th' astonish'd world
Display'd his saving might,

And made his righteous acts appear
In all the heathens' sight.

Let therfore earth's inhabitants
Their cheerful voices raise,

And all with universal joy
Resound their maker's praise.

PSALM C.

ALL people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forthtell;
Come ye before him and rejoice.

The Lord ye know is God indeed,
Without our aid he did us make;

We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

PSALM CIII.

The Lord, the Universal King,
In heav'n has fix'd his lofty throne:
To him, ye angels, praises sing,

In whose great strength his power is

Ye that his just commands obey,
And hear and do his sacred will;
Ye hosts of his, this tribute pay,

Who still what he ordains fulfil.

Let every creature jointly bless

[shewn.

The Mighty Lord: and thou my heart With grateful joy thy thanks express, And in this concert bear thy part.

PSALM CIV.

My soul, praise the Lord,
Speak good of his Name;

O Lord our great God.
How dost thou appear!
So passing in glory,

-That great is thy fame,
Honour and Majesty

In thee shine most clear.

With light as a robe

Thou hast thyself clad,

Whereby all the earth
Thy greatness may see:
The heav'ns in such sort

Thou also hast spread,

That they to a curtain
Compared may be.

By Angels in Heav'n

Of ev'ry Degree,

And Saints upon Earth
All Praise be address'd

To God in three persons,
One God ever bless'd;

As it has been, now is,

And always shall be.

PSALM CV

O RENDER thanks, and bless the Lord;
Invoke his sacred name;
Acquaint the nations with his deeds,
His matchless deeds proclaim.

Sing to his praise in lofty hymns,
His wond'rous works rehearse;

Make them the theme of your

And subject of your verse.

Rejoice in his Almighty name,
Alone to be ador'd;

discourse.

And let their hearts o'erflow with joy, That humbly seek the Lord.
