147. d. 248.

THE Heavens are not too high,

His praise may thither fly:

The earth is not too low,

His praises there may grow.

Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King.

The Church with Psalms must shout,

No door can keep them out:

But above all, the heart

Must bear the longest part.

Let all the world in every corner sing,

My God and King.

PSALMS.

1.

The Righteous and the Wicked.

2.

HOW bless'd is he, who ne'er consents
By ill advice to walk;

Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor sits
Where men profanely talk:

But makes the perfect law of God
His business and delight;
Devoutly reads therein by day,
And meditates by night.

C. M.

Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams,
With timely fruits doth bend,

He still shall flourish, and success

All his designs attend.

For God approves the just man's ways,
To happiness they tend :

But sinners, and the paths they tread,
Shall both in ruin end.

The Sovereignty of Messiah.
WHY do the nations madly rage
Before Jehovah's throne;
And impious war their rulers wage
Against th' Anointed One?

For he who sits above the sky

Shall all their threats deride;
Shall speak in anger from on high,
And crush their haughty pride.
The Lord hath said,-"I set my King
On Sion's holy hill:

To him shall earth her off'rings bring,
And do his sov'reign will."

C. M.
