PSALM 24. L.M.
The heavenly mansions, and ascension of Christ. (cont.)

2	But there's a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker, God? HL Note
3	He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean: Him shall the Lord the Saviour bless. And clothe his soul with righteousness.
4	These are the men, the pious race, That seek the God of Jacob's face: These shall enjoy the blissful sight, And dwell in everlasting light.
5	Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high. Behold the King of glory nigh! Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Saviour's he.
6	Ye heav'nly gates, your leaves display, To make the Lord, the Saviour, way: Laden with spoils from earth and hell. The Conqu'ror comes with God to dwell.
7	Rais'd from the dead, he goes before, He opens heav'n's eternal door, To give his saints a blest abode Near their Redeemer, and their God.

PSALM 25. First Part. S.M.
Waiting for pardon and direction.

1	I LIFT my soul to God,    My trust is in his name; Let not my foes that seek my blood    Still triumph in my shame.
2	Sin, and the pow'rs of hell    Persuade me to despair: Lord, make me know thy cov'nant well,    That I may 'scape the snare.

PSALM 25. First Part. S.M.
Waiting for pardon and direction. (cont.)

3	From the first dawning light,    'Till the dark ev'ning rise, For thy salvation, Lord, I wait,    With ever longing eyes.
4	Remember all thy grace,    And lead me in thy truth; Forgive the sins of riper days,    And follies of my youth.
5	The Lord is just and kind,    The meek shall learn his ways; And ev'ry humble sinner find    The blessings of his grace.
6	For his own goodness' sake,    He saves my soul from shame; He pardons (though my guilt be great)    Thro' my Redeemer's name.

PSALM 25. Second Part. S.M.
Divine Instruction.

1	Where shall the man be found,    That fears t' offend his God; That loves the gospel's joyful sound,    And trembles at the rod?
2	The Lord shall make him know    The secrets of his heart; The wonders of his cov'nant show,    And all his love impart.
3	The dealings of his hand,    Are truth and mercy still, With such as in his cov'nant stand,    And love to do his will.
4	Their souls shall dwell at ease    Before their Maker's face: Their seed shall taste the promises    In their extensive grace.
