2. "The wicked there from troubling cease— Their passions rage no more;

And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.

3. "All, levelled by the hand of death,
Lie sleeping in the tomb,

Till God in judgment call them forth,
To meet their final doom."

Grandeur, MAJESTY, AND Power.
The Majesty of God. - Steele.
1. "The Lord, the God of Glory, reigns,
In robes of majesty arrayed;
His rule Omnipotence sustains,

And guides the worlds his hands have made.

2. "Ere rolling worlds began to move,

Or ere the heavens were spread abroad,
Thy awful throne was fixed above;
From everlasting thou art God.

3. "The swelling floods tumultuous rise,
Aloud the angry tempests roar,
Lift their proud billows to the skies,

And foam, and lash the trembling shore.

4. "The Lord, the mighty God, on high,
Controls the fiercely raging seas;
He speaks - and noise and tempests fly,
The waves sink down in gentle peace.

God the Creator.- Watts.

1. "Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise,

Thee all thy creatures sing;

While with thy name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace ring.

2. "Thy hand-how wide it spread the sky!
How glorious to behold!

Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starred with sparkling gold.

3. "Thy glories blaze all nature round,
And strike the gazing sight,

Through skies, and seas, and solid ground,
With terror and delight.

4. "Almighty power, and equal skill
Shine through the worlds abroad,
Our souls with vast amazement fill,
And speak the builder — God.

* 5. “ But still, the wonders of thy grace
Our warmer passions move;
Here we behold our Saviour's face,
And we adore his love."

Psalm XIX.- Addison.

1. "The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.

2. "The unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.

3. "Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly, to the listening earth,
Repeats the story of her birth;-

4. "While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets, in their turn,
Confirm the tidings, as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

5. "What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball-
What though nor real voice, nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found?-

* Change of expression from awe to gratitude, blending ardor and tenderness.

6. "In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine,

'The hand that made us is Divine.""

Psalm XIX.-Watts.

1. "The heavens declare thy glory, Lord,
In every star thy wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.

2. "The rolling sun-the changing light,
And nights, and days, thy power confess;
But that blest volume thou hast writ
Reveals thy justice and thy grace.

3. "Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise Round all the earth-and never stand; So when thy truth began its race,

It touched and glanced on every land.

4. "Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest,
Till through the world thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest,
Which see the light, or feel the sun."

Resurrection of Christ.- Scott.

(1 "Awake, our drowsy souls,

And burst the slothful band;
The wonders of this day

Our noblest songs demand:

Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays
Bright Seraphs hail, in songs of praise.

2. "At thy approaching dawn,
Reluctant death resigned
The glorious Prince of life,

In dark domains confined;

The angelic host around him bends,

And midst their shouts the God ascends.

1. "Lo! he comes, with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain ! Thousand, thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah!

Jesus comes-and comes to reign.

2. "Every eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty !

Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see!

3. "When the solemn trump has sounded, Heaven and earth shall flee away;

All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the summons of that day —

'Come to Judgment!

Come to judgment !- come away.'

4. "Yea, amen!-let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne!
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Make thy righteous sentence known!
Oh! come quickly -

Claim the kingdom for thine own!"

To thee my thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed;
That mercy I adore.

Thy ruling hand I see!

Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because conferred by thee.

In every pain I bear,

My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.

5. "When gladness wings my favored hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
