e; While night to day, and day to night Divinely teach his name. 3 In every different land Their general voice is known They shew the wonders of his hand, And orders of his throne. 4 Ye British lands, rejoice, Here he reveals his word, We are not left to nature's voice To bid us know the Lord. 5 His statutes and commands Are set before our eyes; He puts his gospel in our hands, Where our salvation lies. 6 His laws are just and pure, His truth without deceit, His promises for ever sure, And his rewards are great. 7 [Not honey to the taste Affords so much delight, Nor gold that has the furnace past So much allures the sight. 8 While of thy works I sing, Thy glory to proclaim, Accept the praise, my God, my King, In my Redeemer's name.] Psalm 19:2. Second Part. S. M. God's word most excellent; or, Sincerity and watchfulness. For a Lord's-day morning. 1 Behold the morning sun Begins his glorious way; His beams thro' all the nations run, And life and light convey. 2 But where the gospel comes, It spreads diviner light, It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 3 How perfect is thy word!

Psalm 19:3. L. M. The books of nature and of scripture compared; or, The glory and success of the gospel. 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord, In every star thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold thy word We read thy name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when thy truth begun its race, It touch'd and glanc'd on every land. 4 Nor shall thy spreading gospe
