PSALM 66. Second Part. C.M.
Praise to God for hearing prayer. (cont.)

1	Who heard the long requests I made    In my distressful hour.
2	My lips and cheerful heart prepare    To make his mercies known: Come, ye that fear my God, and hear    The wonders, he hath done.
3	When on my head huge sorrows fell,    I sought his heav'nly aid; He sav'd my sinking soul from hell,    And death's eternal shade.
4	If sin lay cover'd in my heart,    While pray'r employ 'd my tongue, The Lord had shown me no regard,    Nor I his praises sung.
5	But God (his name be ever blest)    Hath set my spirit free; Nor turned from him my poor request,    Nor turn'd his heart from me.

PSALM 67. C.M.
The prosperity of the nation, and increase of the church.

1	SHINE on our land, Jehovah, shine,    With beams of heav'nly grace! Reveal thy pow'r thro' all our coasts,    And show thy smiling face.
2	Here fix thy throne exalted high,    And, here, our glory stand; And, like a wall of guardian fire,    Surround thy fav'rite land.
3	When shall thy name from shore to shore    Sound all the earth abroad, And distant nations know and love    Their Saviour and their God!
4	Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands,    Sing loud with solemn voice;

PSALM 67. C.M.
The prosperity of the nation, and increase of the church. (cont.)

4	Let thankful tongues exalt his praise,    And thankful hearts rejoice.
5	He, the great Lord, the sov'reign Judge,    That sits enthron'd above, Wisely commands the worlds, he made,    In justice and in love.
6	Earth shall confess her Maker's hand,    And yield a full increase: Our God will crown his chosen land    With fruitfulness and peace.
7	God, the Redeemer, scatters round    His choicest favours here; While the creation's utmost bound    Shall see, adore, and fear.

PSALM 68. First Part. L.M.
The vengeance and compassion of God.

1	LET God arise in all his might, And put the troops of hell to flight: As smoke, that sought to cloud the skies, Before the rising tempest flies.
2	He rides and thunders thro' the sky; His name Jehovah sounds on high; Sing to his name, ye sons of grace: Ye saints rejoice before his face.
3	The widow and the fatherless Fly to his aid in sharp distress; In him, the poor and helpless find A Judge, that's just, a Father kind.
4	He breaks the captive's heavy chain, And pris'ners see the light again; But rebels, that dispute his will. Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.
5	Kingdoms and thrones to God belong; Crown him, ye nations, in your song:
