4 Thy hand, in spite of all my foes, Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thine oil anoints my head. 5 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may thy house be mine abode, And all my work be praise! 6 There would I find a settled rest, (While others go and come) No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home. Psalm 23:3. S. M. The same. 1 The Lord my shepherd is, I shall be well supply'd; Since he is mine, and I am his, What can I want beside? 2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows. 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim, And guides me in his own right way, For his most holy name. 4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear; Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade My Shepherd's with me there. 5 In spite of all my foes, Thou dost my table spread, My cup with blessings overflows, And joy exalts my head. 6 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise. Psalm 24:1. C. M. Dwelling with God. 1 The earth for ever is the Lord's, With Adam's numerous race; He rais'd its arches o'er the floods, And built it on the seas. 2 But who among the sons of men May visit thine abode? He that has hands from mischief clean, Whose heart is right with God. 3 This is the man may rise, and take The blessings of his grace; This is the lot of those that seek The God of Jacob's face. 4 Now let our soul's immortal powers To meet the Lord prepare, Lift up their everlasting doors, The King of glory's near. 5 The King of glory! who can tell The wonders of his might! He rules the nations; but to dwell With saints is his delight. Psalm 24:2. L. M. Saints dwell in heaven; or, Christ's ascension. 1 This spacious earth is all the Lord's, And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds: He rais'd the building on the seas, And gave it for their dwelling-place. 2 But there's a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker God? 3 He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure whose hands are clean, Him shall the Lord the Saviour bless, And clothe his soul with righteousness. 4 These are the men, the pious race That seek the God of Jacob's face; These shall enjoy the blissful sight, And dwell in everlasting light. PAUSE. 5 Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high, Behold the King of glory nigh! Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Saviour's he. 6 Ye heavenly gates, your leaves display To make the Lord the Saviour way: Laden with spoils from earth and hell, The conqueror comes with God to dwell. 7 Rais'd from the dead he goes before, He opens heaven's eternal door, To give his saints a blest abode Near their Redeemer, and their God. Psalm 25:1. 1-11. First Part. Waiting for pardon and direction.
