BLEST is the man who shuns the place
\Vhere sinners lime to meet; ~
“Yho fears to tread their wicked ways, c ’
And hates the seofl‘er’s seat:
2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his Chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And ineditates by night.

3 He, like a plant. of generous kind
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting Wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.

4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair
Shall his profession shine;
“'hile fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.

5 Not so the impious and unjust;
\l'llat vain designs they form I
Their hopes are blown away like dust
Or Chall' before the storm.
6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Among the sons of grace,
“Then Christ the Judge, at His right hand,
Appoints His saints a place.

2 C. M.
‘KTHY did the nations join to slay
’ ’ The Lord’s anointed Son ?
\Vhy did they cast His lai's away,
And tread His gospel down?
2 The Lord that sits above the skies,
Derides their rage below;
He speaks with vengeance in His eyes,
And strikes their spirits through.

\i IVE ear unto me when I call,
God of my righteousness:
Have mercy, hear my prayer; Thou hast
Enlarged me in distress.

2 C who will show us any good?
Is that which many say:
But of Thy countenance the light,
Lord, lift on us étl\VLI_\'.

3 Upon my heart, hestowed hy Thee,
More gludm‘ss l. have found,
Than they, ev’n then, when corn and Wink.
Did most with them abound.

4 I will both lay me down in peace,
And quiet sleep will take;
Because Thou only me to (lWell
In safety, Lord, (lost make.

4 SECOND PART. C. M.
I 0RD, Thou wilt hezu‘ me when I pray;
I am for ever Thine:
I fear before Thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.

2 And while I rest my weary head
From cares and business free,
’Tis sweet conversing on my bed
\Vith my own heart and Thee.

3 I pay this evening sacrifice;
And when my work is done,
Great Grad, my faith and hope relies
Upon Thy grace alone.

4 Thus with my thoughts composed to peace
I’ll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep.

GIV E ear unto my words, 0 Lord,

My meditation weigh:
Hear my loud cry, my King, my God;
For I to Thee will pray.

2 Lord, Thou shalt early hear my voice:
I early will direct
My prayer to Thee; and, looking up,
An answer wrllexpcct.

3 For Thou art not a God that doth
In wickedness delight:
Neither shall evil dwell with Thee,
Nor fools stand in Thy sight.

4 All that ill-doers are Thou hat’st;
Cntt’st oil that liars be:
The bloody and deceitful man
Ahhorred is by Thee.

5 But I into Thy house will come
In Thine abundant. grace;
And I will worship in Thy fear
Toward Thy holy place.

5 SECOND PART. C. Mu

0RD, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To Thee will '1 direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye:

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all His saints, ,
Presenting at His Father’s throne
Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before Whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne’er be Thy delight,
Nor dwell at Thy right hand.

Shake ofl" the dust and rise on high;
Then shalt Thou lead the wondrous way,
Up to Thy throne above the sky.

Spread heavenly joys through all the place.

And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a vatehful eye:
My noon—day walks He. shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.

Or on the thirsty mountain pant;
To l'ertile \‘alesnnd dewy meads,
My weary, wandering steps He leads,
~Where peaceful rivers, soil and slow,
Amid the verdant landscawe flow.

Though in the paths of death I tread
\Vith gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art, with me still
Thy friendly arm shall give 11 e aid,
And guide me through the dreadful a nade.

Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious, lonely wilds 1 stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile.

The barren wilderness shall smile,

With sudden green and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
