PSALM 50. Second Part. C.M.
Obedience is better than sacrifice. (cont.)

7	"But I will bring your crimes to light,    "With anguish in your soul."
8	Consider, ye, that slight the Lord,    Before his wrath appear; If once you fall beneath his sword,    There's no deliv'rer there.

PSALM 50. Third Part. L.M.
Hypocrisy warned.

1	THE Lord, the Judge, his churches warns; Let hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their hope in rights and forms; But make not faith nor love their care.
2	Vile wretches dare rehearse his name With lips of falsehood and deceit; A friend or brother they defame, And sooth and flatter those they hate.
3	They watch to do their neighbours wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's face; They take his cov'nant on their tongue, But break his laws, abuse his grace.
4	To heav'n they lift their hands unclean, Defil'd with lust, defil'd with blood: By night they practise ev'ry sin, By day their mouths draw near to God.
5	And, while his judgments long delay, They grow secure, and sin the more: They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful hour.
6	Oh dreadful hour! when God draws near, And sets their crimes before their eyes: His wrath their guilty souls shall tear, And no deliv'rer dare to rise.

PSALM 50. Fourth Part. P.M.
The last judgment.

1	THE God of glory sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations and awakes the north; From east to west the sov'reign orders spread, Thro' distant worlds and regions of the dead.    The trumpet sounds; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices;    Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
2	No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more: behold the day! Behold the Judge descends! his guards are nigh; Tempests and fire attend him down the sky.    When God appears, all nature shall adore him:    While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him.
3	Sinners awake betimes; ye fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful morning rise: Change your vain thoughts, your crooked works amend, Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend:    Then join, ye saints; wake ev'ry cheerful passion,    When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation.

PSALM 51. First Part. L.M.
A penitent pleading for pardon.

1	SHOW pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live; Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee?
2	My crimes are great, but don't surpass The pow'r and glory of thy grace Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy pard'ning love be found.
