a good and comely thing,
and to thy name, O thou Most High,
due praise aloud to sing;

when first appears the light,
and to declare thy faithfulness
with pleasure ev'ry night.

A brutish mind this knoweth not:
fools understand not this.
No! through thy works, Lord, thou hast made
our souls right glad to be;
and in thy works we will triumph,
which have been wrought by thee.
3 Hosanna! Upright is the Lord:
he is a rock to me,
and he from all unrighteousness
is altogether free.
Lord, let thy grace and glory stand
on us thy servants thus;
conform the works we take in hand;
Lord, prosper them and us. Used With Tune: SALVATION Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650 (variant from)

Ransom'd child of Thine I am;
Make me flourish like the palm.

Bear me to the mercy-seat;
Blend my spirit with its Head,
Make me thus in Christ complete;
So my heart, pure, firm and calm,
Lives to flourish like the palm;
So my heart, pure, firm and calm,
Lives to flourish like the palm.

Clustering fruits in me abound;
All my deeds Thy love declare,
All my hopes in Thee be found;
Life shall be a joyous psalm,
Graceful, useful, like the palm;
Life shall be a joyous psalm,
Graceful, useful, like the palm.
4 When full age at last has come,
When beyond the Jordan-tide,
Garnered to my heavenly home,
Let me with the glorified
Sing the triumphs of the Lamb,
Bear a conqueror’s fadeless palm;
Sing the triumphs of the Lamb,
Bear a conqueror’s fadeless palm. Used With Tune: [Planted in thy house, O Lord]

'Tis good, and sweet, to thank the Lord
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1. 'Tis good, and sweet, to thank the Lord ;
Praise to thy Name to sing, Most-high.

And ev'ry Night, thy Verity.
3. Upon a Ten-string'd Instrument,
With Psaltery, in sweet Compound;
On sprightly Harp, in one Consent,
With sacred Songs, and solemn Sound.

O Lord, hast made my Heart rejoice;
The Works thine Hand hath wro't, shall raise
My shout to Thee, with thankful Voice.

And how profoundly deep thy Thought!

Nor Fools perceive what thou hast wrought.

And flourishing, look fresh, and fair;
It is, that thou may'st on them bring
An endless Ruin, and Despair.

9. For lo, thy Foes shall quite decay;
And all that work Iniquity,
In Wrath, shall be dispers'd away.
10. But thou, mine Horn, on high shalt raise,
Fix'd as the Unicorn's, secure ;
Thy fresh anointing Oyl conveys
New Joys to me, unmix'd, and pure.
11. Mine Eyes shall see th' expected Doom,
Mine Ears the dismal End shall hear,
That on my secret Foes shall come;
And those me open Malice bear.

Like Lebanon's tall Cedars grow.

And flourish, in his Courts below.

With Vigour fill'd, and Verdure crown'd.

In him there's no Injustice found.

Lord, makes my Heart rejoice;
I, in thy handy-Works, will raise,
With Shouts of Praise, my Voice.

How very deep thy Thought!

And they that work Iniquity,
Shall be dispersed all.

As Unicorn's, on high;
And with fresh Oyl, thro' all my Days,
Anointed be shall I.

Mine Ear the End shall hear,
That on my Spies, and Foes, shall come;
And such as Malice bear.

Like Leb'non's Cedars grow:

In's Courts they glorious show.

With Strength, and Verdure, crown'd.

In him no Falshood's found.

Yours the Hand That Made Creation
What nobler subject can the soul employ
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 What nobler subject can the soul employ,
When feels the pious heart sublimer joy,
Than when the praises of her God she sings,
And chants the glories of the king of kings?
2 At night his truth, his honour to display,
His clemency, his mercies in the day?
3 Whether the lofty theme the voice inspire,
Whether it tunes the psaltery and the lyre.
4 When my wrapt soul thy wonders meditate,
What nameless transports o'er my heart dilate?
5 Thy glorious wonders! far beyond the ken
Of earth's untoward sons, of impious men;
7 Of men, the short-liv'd shadows of a day,
Who, like the blooming grass, awhile look gay;
And, like the grass, that fades, that withers soon,
Lose quick their strength, their beauty, and are gone.
8 While permanent thy glory, Lord most high,
To endless time shines forth thy majesty.
9 What dreadful fate attends thy stubborn foes?
What fearful perils! O what countless woes!
10 Dispers'd, they fall; while health, while vigour's mine,
And thy blest ointments on my temples shine:
11 While my glad eyes with ceaseless transport view
Inevitable death their steps pursue;
While, to my soul's desire, their fate she hears--
The welcome tidings fill my ravish'd ears.
12 As high in Lebanon the cedar grows,
As spreads th' aspiring palm her lofty boughs,
13 The righteous flourish long--deep-rooted, they,
Within thy courts, look ever green and gay;
14 Loaded with fruits, yet constantly in bloom,
No frosts shall nip them, and no blasts consume.
15 This solemn truth that all the earth may know,
Our God is never to the good a foe;
Injustice hates, and equity approves,
And humble innocence protects and loves.
What nobler subject can the soul employ
