C, M.

Ver. 7-9, 13-18.

The Seasons of the Year.

o 1 WITH songs and honours, sounding Address the Lord on high: [loud, Over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky.

b 2 He sends his show'rs of blessings down To cheer the plains below; [crown, He makes the grass the mountains And corns in vallies grow.

o 3 He gives the grazing ox his meat,
He hears the ravens cry;

But man who tastes his finest wheat,
Should raise his honours high,

e 4 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.

5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.

。 6 When from his dreadful stores on high
He pours the rattling hail,
The wretch that dares his God defy,

Shall find his courage fail.

b 7 He sends his word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.

o 8 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word:

4 Great is our Lord,and great his might;
And all his glories infinite:
He crowns the meek, rewards the just,g
And treads the wicked to the dust.
OLD HUNDRED.

PAUSE.

5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high,, Who spreads his clouds all round the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain.

6 He makes the grass the hills adorn,
And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
The beasts with food his hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.

7 What is the creature's skill or force,
The sprightly man, the warlike horse,
The nimble wit, the active limb!
All are too mean delights for him.

8 But saints are lovely in his sight;
He views his children with delight:
He sees their hope,he knows their fear,
And looks and loves his image there.
CASTLE STREET.

With songs and honours sounding loud,
Praise ye the sov'reign Lord.
ST. ASAPH's.

4 He mov'd their mighty wheels

In unknown ages past;
And each his word fulfils,
While time and nature last.

In diff'rent ways
His works proclaim
His wondrous name,
And speak his praise.

e 8 Ye kings and judges, fear,
The Lord the sov❜reign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heav'nly honours sing:
Nor let the dream
Of pow'r and state
Make you forget

His pow'r supreme.

9 Virgins and youths, engage To sound his praise divine; e While infancy and age Their feebler voices join: Wide as he reigns, His name be sung By every tongue,

In endless strains.

g1 LOUD hallelujahs to the Lord, [dwell; From distant worlds where creatures Let heav'n begin the solemn word, And sound it dreadful down to hell. 2

e 3 High on a throne his glories dwell, An awful throne of shining bliss; Fly through the world, O sun, and tell How dark thy beams compar❜d to his. 4-5e67de

-9 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, • When nature all around you sings? u O for a shout from old and young, From humble swains, and lofty kings!

g 10 Wide-as his vast dominion liesMake the Creator's name be known:

u Loud-as his thunder-shout his praise, g And sound it lofty--as his throne.

e 11 JEHOVAH! 'tis a glorious word,

O may it dwell on ev'ry tongue! [Lord,
But saints who best have known the
Are bound to raise the noblest song.

12 Speak of the wonders of that love,
Which Gabriel plays on ev'ry chord:

2 Thou sun, with golden beams,
And moon, with paler rays,
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Maker's praise.

3 He built those worlds above,

And fix'd their wondrous frame; By his command they stand or move, And ever speak his name.

4 Ye vapours, when you rise, Or fall in show'rs, or snow;

Ye thunders,murm'ring round the skies,
His pow'r and glory show.

5 Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord;

When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.
