PSALM 95. First Part. C.M.
A psalm before prayer. (cont.)

1	Earth, with its caverns dark and deep,    Lies in his spacious hand; He fix'd the seas, what bounds to keep,    And where the hills must stand.
2	Come, and with humble souls adore,    Come, kneel before his face; O! may the creatures of his pow'r    Be children of his grace!
3	Now is the time: he bends his ear,    And waits for your request: Come, lest he rouse his wrath, and swear    "Ye shall not see my rest."

PSALM 95. Second Part. S.M.
A psalm before sermon.

1	COME, sound his praise abroad,    And hymns of glory sing: Jehovah is the sovereign God,    The universal King. HL Note
2	He form'd the deeps unknown;    He gave the seas their bound; The wat'ry worlds are all his own,    And all the solid ground.
3	Come worship at his throne,    Come bow before the Lord: We are his work, and not our own,    He form'd us by his word.
4	To-day attend his voice,    Nor dare provoke his rod: Come, like the people of his choice,    And own your gracious God.
5	But if your ears refuse    The language of his grace; And hearts grow hard like stubborn Jews,    That unbelievinsr race:

PSALM 95. Second Part. S.M.
A psalm before sermon. (cont.)

6	The Lord in vengeance drest    Will lift his hand and swear; "Ye that despise my promis'd rest,    "Shall have no portion there."

PSALM 95. Third Part. L.M.
A call to delaying sinners.

1	COME, let our souls address the Lord, Who fram'd our natures with his word: He is our shepherd; we the sheep, His mercy chose, his pastures keep.
2	Come, let us hear his voice to-day, The counsels of his love obey; Nor let our harden'd hearts renew The sins and plagues that Israel knew.
3	Seize the kind promise, while it waits, And march to Zion's heav'niy gates; Believe, and take the promis'd rest: Obey, and be for ever blest.

PSALM 96. First Part. C.M.
The first and second coming of Christ.

1	SING to the Lord, ye distant lands,    Ye tribes of ev'ry tongue; His rich display of grace demands    A new and nobler song.
2	Say to the nations, Jesus reigns,    God's own almighty Son: His pow'r the sinking world sustains,    And grace surrounds his throne.
3	Let heav'n proclaim the joyful day;    Joy thro' the earth be seen: Let cities shine in bright array,    And fields in cheerful green.
4	Let an unusual joy surprise    The islands of the sea:
