MOD is the Lord, the heav'nly King, Visits the pastures ev'ry spring, And bids the grass appear. 2 The clouds, like rivers rais'd on high, 3 The soften'd ridges of the field 4 The little hills on ev'ry side The meadows, dress'd in all their pride, TATE. 5 The barren clods, refresh'd with rain, The fields, with verdure fill'd, again 6 The various months thy goodness crowns, 3 4 The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, T HYMN 139. S. M. Universal Praise. Ps. lxvii. NO bless thy chosen race, And cause the brightness of thy face That so thy gracious way May through the world be known; Whilst distant lands their homage pay ; And thy salvation own. Let all the nations join To celebrate thy fame; Let the whole world, O Lord, combine To praise thy glorious name. O let them shout and sing, In humble pious mirth; For thou, the righteous Judge and King, Shalt govern all the earth. HYMN 140. L. M. WATTS. ТАТЕ. The pleasure of Public Worship. Ps. lxxxiv. To spend one day with thee on earth, 3 Might I enjoy the meanest place God is our Shield, he guards our way 6 Blest are the men, whose steadfast mind God is their strength, and through the road 7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, And join in nobler worship there. WATTS. Lord, I would wait, 3 To spend one sacred day Where God and saints abide, Affords diviner joy Than thousands days beside; I love it more to keep the door 4 O happy souls that pray Their constant service there!
