Plants set in Thy court, below, This God's justice celebrates He, my Rock, injustice hates. GEORGE SANDYS 83 PSALM XCIII The Lord-the Lord of glory reigns In majesty arrayed; His power the universe sustains; Thou art from everlasting, Lord; The mighty waves are rolling high, But Thou, O Lord, art mightier far,— Thy voice can still their raging war, He who can calm the stormy deep, O, then, let all from sin depart, 84 PSALM C With one consent let all the earth MRS. FOLLEN To God their cheerful voices raise- From whom both we and all proceed-- Oh, enter, then, His temple gate, Thence to His courts devoutly press; For He's the Lord supremely good, To endless ages shall endure. TATE AND BRADY 85 PSALM CIII Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To His feet thy tribute bring; Redeemed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me His praise should sing? Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise the everlasting King! Praise Him for His grace and favor Glorious in His faithfulness! Father-like, He tends and spares us; Praise Him! Praise Him! Widely as His mercy flows! Angels, help us to adore Him; Sun and moon, bow down before Him, Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise with us the God of grace! Frail as summer's flower we flourish; Praise the High Eternal One. 86 HENRY FRANCIS LYTE PSALM CXIV When the seed of Jacob fled From the cruel Pharaoh's land, Judah was in safety led By the Lord, whose powerful hand This the sea saw, and dismayed Flies; swift Jordan backward makes; What, O Sea, hath thee dismayed? Skipped ye? wherefore did ye shake, Tremble, O thou steadfast Earth, ADAPTED FROM THOMAS CAREW 87 PSALM CXXII I rejoiced when they said, Let us go to God's house And within its loved gates once again set our feet. O Jerusalem, built as a city compact, Where the tribes of the Lord did in olden times meet, To give thanks to His name, ever blest, on each feast, When Salem stood proudly, the Queen of the East. Though Salem no more in her grandeur exists, We revere her old walls, we pray for her peace; Let her lessons go forth, as the word of the Lord, That friendship and brotherhood here may in crease; That the house of the Lord may unite us in love, And gain us the peace of the temple above.
