Those gods on high, and gods below, When once compar'd with him. 4 Earth, with its caverns dark anddeep, Lies in his spacious hand ; He fix'd the seas what bounds to keep, And where the hills must stand. 5 Come, and with humble souls adore; -Come, kneel before his face O. may the creatures of his pow'r Be children of his grace. G Now is the time; he beads his ear, And waits for your request ; Come,lest he rouse his wrath,and swear, " Ye shall not see my rest." PSALM XCV. [S. M.] A psalm before sermon. 1 COME, Sound his praise abroad And hymns of glòry sing:. Jehovah is thesovereign God, The universal King. 2 He form'd the deeps unknown He gave the seas their bosind; The wat'ry worlds are all his own And all the solid ground. 3 Come worship at his throne; Come bow before the Lord: We are his works and not our own; He form'd us by his word. 4 To -day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come, like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God. 4' But if your ears refisse The language of his grace, And hearts grow hard,, like stubborn Jews, That unbelieving race; e The Lord in vengeance drest Will lift his hand and swear, " You that despise my promis'd rest, " Shall have no portion there." PSALM XCV.1, 2, 3, 6 -11. [L. M.] Canaan lost thro' unbelief; or, a warn- ing to delaying sinners. 9 COME, let our voices join to raise A sacred song of solemn praise ; God is a sovereign King, rehearse His honours in exalted verse. 2 Come, let our souls address the Lord, Who fram'd our natures with his word; He is our shepherd, we the sheep ; His mercy chose, hispastures keep, 3 Come, let us hear his v air e to-day ; The counsels of his love obey ; Nor let our harden'd hearts renew The sins and plagues that Isr'el knew. 4 Isr'el, that saw his works of grace, Yet tempt their Maker to his face; A faithless unbelieving brood, That tir''d the patience of their God. 5 Thus saith the Lord, " How false they prove ! Forget my pow'r ; abusemy love: Since they despise my rest, I swear, Their feet shall never enter there. 6 [Look back, my soul, with holy dread, And view these ancient rebels. dead; Attend the offer'd grace. to -day, Nor lose the blessingby delay. 7 Seize the kind promise while it waits, Andmarch to Zion's heav'nly gates, Believe and take the promis'd rest, Obey, and be for ever blest.] PSALMXCVI. vor.1 -1o, Sc.
