REVELATION XV.

3 GREAT and marvellous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints.

iv. 11. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power; for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.

GREAT God, what do I see and hear,
The end of things created;
The Judge of mankind does appear,
On clouds of glory seated.

The trumpet sounds, the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.

PSALM CXLV.

LUTHER.

3 GREAT is the Lord, and marvellous, worthy to be praised: there is no end of His greatness. 4 One generation shall praise Thy works unto another and declare Thy power.

HAPPY and blest are they who have endured; for though the body dies, the soul shall live for ever. MENDELSSOHN.

10 HAVE mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed for very heaviness. 1 In Thee, O Lord, have I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion; make haste to deliver me. 18 O Lord, shew Thy servant the light of Thy countenance.

16 But my hope hath been in Thee: I have said, Thou art my God.

PSALM CV.

29 HE turned their waters into blood: they loathed to drink of the river.

32 He gave them hailstones for rain; fire mingled with the hail ran along the ground.

cvi. 9. He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up; He led them through the deep as through a wilderness.

11 But the waters overwhelmed their enemies, there was not one of them left.

Exod. xv. 10. Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders.

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

65

18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

ISAIAH LIII.

HANDEL.

He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of Thy people was He stricken. Psalm xvi. 11. But Thou didst not leave His soul in hell: nor didst Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.

xxiv. 7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of Glory shall come in.

8 Who is the King of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of Glory shall come in.

10 Who is the King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory. HANDEL.

1 HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame ? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?

3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear me when I call upon Him.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift Thou up the light of Thy counte

nance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, O Lord; more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8 I will both lay me down in peace and sleep; for Thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. NEUKOMM.

1 HEAR my prayer, O God: and hide not Thyself from my petition.

2 Take heed unto me, and hear me : how I mourn in my prayer and am vexed.

4 My heart is disquieted within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.

6 Then I said, O that I had wings like a dove: then would I flee away, and be at rest.

KENT.

PSALM CII.

1 HEAR my prayer, O Lord; and let my crying come unto Thee.

2 Hide not Thy face from me in the time of trouble: incline Thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.

MENDELSSOHN.
