PSALM 104. Fourth Part. L.M.
Providence. (cont.)

8	While haughty sinners die accurst, Their glory buried with their dust, I, to my God, my heav'nly king, Immortal hallelujahs sing.

PSALM 105. First Part. C.M.
God's care of the Patriarchs.

1	GIVE thanks to God, invoke his name,    And tell the world his grace; Sound thro' the earth his deeds of fame,    That all may seek his face.
2	His cov'nant, which he kept in mind    For num'rous ages past, To num'rous ages yet behind,    In equal force shall last.
3	He sware to Abraham and his seed,    And made the blessing sure: Gentiles the ancient promise read,    And find his truth endure.
4	"Thy seed shall make the nations blest,"    Said the Almighty voice; "And Canaan's land, shall be their rest,    "The type of heav'nly joys."
5	How large the grant! how rich the grace!    To give them Canaan's land, When they were strangers in the place,    A little, feeble band.
6	Like pilgrims, thro' the countries round    Securely they remov'd; And haughty kings, that on them frown'd,    Severely he rcprov'd.
7	"Touch mine anointed, and my arm    "Shall soon revenge the wrong: "The man, that does my prophets harm,    "Shall know their God is strong."

PSALM 105. First Part. C.M.
God's care of the Patriarchs. (cont.)

8	Then let the world forbear its rage,    Nor put the Church in fear: Israel must live thro' ev'ry age,    And be th' Almighty's care.

PSALM 105. Second Part. C.M.
The plagues of Egypt.

1	WHEN Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints,    And thus provok'd their God; Moses was sent at their complaints,    Arm'd with his dreadful rod.
2	He call'd for darkness; darkness came,    Like an o'erwhelming flood; He made each lake, and ev'ry stream,    A lake, a stream of blood.
3	He gave the sign, and noisome flies    Thro' the whole country spread; And frogs, in croaking armies, rise    About the monarch's bed.
4	Thro' fields and towns, and palaces,    The ten fold vengeance flew: Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees,    And hail their cattle slew,
5	Then, by an angel's midnight stroke,    The flow'r of Egypt died; The strength of ev'ry house was broke,    Their glory and their pride.
6	Now let the world forbear its rage,    Nor put the Church in fear: Israel must live thro' ev'ry age,    And be th' Almighty's care.

PSALM 105. Third Part. C.M.
Israel led through the wilderness to Canaan.

1	THUS were the tribes from bondage freed,    And left the hated ground;
