PSALM 19. Third Part. L.M.
The book of nature and scripture compared. (cont.)

2	The rolling sun, the changing light. And nights and days thy pow'r confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ, Reveals thy justice and thy grace.
3	Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand: So when thy truth began its race, It touch'd and glanc'd on ev'ry land.
4	Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, 'Till thro' the world thy truth has run; 'Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light, or feel the sun,
5	Great Sun of righteousness, arise; Bless the dark world with heav'nly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise; Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
6	Thy noblest wonders, here we view, In souls renew'd, and sins forgiv'n: Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make thy word my guide to heav'n.

PSALM 19. Fourth Part. P.M.
The gospel.

1	I LOVE the volume of thy word: What light and joy its leaves afford    To souls benighted and distrest! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way; Thy fear forbids my feet to stray;    Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2	From the discov'ries of thy law The perfect rules of life I draw;    These are my study and delight: Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold, that hath the furnace past;    Appears so pleasing to the sight.

PSALM 19. Fourth Part. P.M.
The gospel. (cont.)

3	Thy threat'nings wake my slumb'ring eyes, And warn me where my danger lies;    But 'tis thy blessed gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean; Converts my soul, subdues my sin;    And gives a free, but large reward.
4	Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God, forgive my secret faults.    And from presumptuous sins restrain: Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace    And book of nature not in vain.

PSALM 20. L.M.
Prayer in time of war.

1	NOW may the God of pow'r and grace Attend his people's humble cry! Jehovah hears when Israel prays, And brings deliv'rance from on high.
2	The name of Jacob's God defends, Better than shields or brazen walls: He from his sanctuary sends Succour and strength when Zion calls.
3	Well he remembers all our sighs; His love exceeds our best deserts: His love accepts the sacrifice Of humble groans, and broken hearts.
4	In his salvation is our hope; And in the name of Israel's God, Our troops shall lift their banners up; Our navies spread their flags abroad.
5	Some trust in horses train'd for war. And some of chariots make their boasts; Our surest expectations are, From thee, the Lord of heav'nly hosts.
