They should in fstrictest friendship dwell
Who the fame Lord obey.

4 Thus will the church below
Refemble that above,

Where fprings of purest pleasure rife,
And every heart is love.

PSALM XXII.

Viciffitudes of life under the direction of divine wisdom and goodness.

I AS various as the moon

Is man's eftate below;

To his bright day of gladnefs foom
Succeeds a night of woe:

The night of woe refigns
It's darkness and it's grief;
Again the morn of comfort fhines,
And brings our fouls relief.

3 Yet not from fickle chance
These varying scenes arise;

Our dark and brighter hours advance
By laws fupremely wife.

4 Their portion comes to all
From God's unerring will
Nor ever is the good too fmall,
Nor yet too great the ill.

5 Let man conform his mind
To every changing state;

Be joyful now, and now refign'd,
And the great iffue wait.

PSALM XXIII.

Praife to God from all nations.

I YE nations, praise the Lord,
Each in a different tongue;
In every language learn his word,
And let his name be fung.

2

While angels found his praise
In heaven, with nobler powers;
On earth, let us his honors raise;
Their God is also ours.

3 Praise him with awe profound; Let knowledge lead the fong; Nor mock him with a folemn found

Upon a thoughtless tongue.

4 Still

4 Still be his honors spread,

Still let the world adore,

Till funs their cheering influence shed
And moons give light no more.

5 The God who guides us now
Will guide us till we die;

Will be our God while here below,
And ours above the sky.

I YE fervants of the eternal King,
To God your cheerful praises fing,
