PSALM 84. Third Part. P.M.
Longing for the house of God. (cont.)

2	The sparrow for her young    With pleasure seeks a nest,    And wand'ring swallows long    To find their wonted rest: My spirit faints with equal zeal, To rise and dwell among thy saints.
3	O happy souls that pray    Where God appoints to hear!    O happy men that pay    Their constant service there! They praise thee still; and happy they That love the way to Zion's hill.
4	They go from strength to strength,    Thro' this dark vale of tears;    'Till each arrives at length;    'Till each in heav'n appears. O glorious seat, when God our King Shall thither bring our willing feet!
5	To spend one sacred day,    Where God and saints abide,    Affords diviner joy,    Than thousand days beside: Where God resorts, I covet more To keep the door, than shine in courts.
6	God is our sun and shield,    Our light and our defence;    With gifts his hands are fill'd;    We draw our blessings thence: He shall bestow on Jacob's race Peculiar grace, and glory too.
7	The Lord his people loves;    His hand no good withholds    From those his heart approves;    From pure and pious souls.

PSALM 84. Third Part. P.M.
Longing for the house of God. (cont.)

7	Thrice happy he, O God of hosts, Whose spirit trusts alone in thee!

PSALM 85. First Part. L.M.
Waiting for an answer to prayer.

1	LORD, thou hast call'd thy grace to mind, Thou hast revers'd our heavy doom: So God forgave when Israel sinn'd, And brought his wand'nng captives home.
2	Thou hast begun to set us free, And made thy fiercest wrath abate: Now let our hearts be turn'd to thee: And thy salvation be complete.
3	Revive our dying graces, Lord, And let thy saints in thee rejoice: Make known thy truth, fulfil thy word; We wait for praise to tune our voice.
4	We wait to hear what God will say; He'll speak, and give his people peace: But let them run no more astray, Lest his returning wrath increase.

PSALM 85. Second Part. L.M.
Salvation by Christ.

1	SALVATION is for ever nigh The souls, that fear and trust the Lord; And grace, descending from on high, Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.
2	Mercy and truth on earth are met, Since Christ the Lord came down from heav'n: By his obedience so complete, Justice is pleas'd, and peace is giv'n.
3	Now truth and honour shall abound; Religion dwell on earth again; And heav'nly influence bless the ground, In our Redeemer's gentle reign.
