Blessed are they that mourn;.. for they.. shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek; for they shall in- herit.. the | earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; · 7 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall ob- | tain 8 Blessed are the pure .for they.. shall be filled in | heart.. for] they shall..see | God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children.. of | God. 10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs.. is the kingdom..of | heaven. 11 Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and perse.. cute | you; "Blessed are ye when men shall say all manner of evil against you | falsely,.. for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; the prophets.. which | were.. be- fore you. 7 1 WHEN spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laugh.. ing | soil; – When summer's balmy showers re- fresh..the | mow..er's | toil; In God the earth rejoiceth still, - and owns.. the | Ma.. ker | good. that wake the morning, that sweep the mountain, or | lull.. the drow..sy | glade ; that from his amber bower ..on his re-joiceth.. way; The moon and stars - their Maker's name in | si..lent | pomp.. dis- | play. 3 Shall man, the lord of nature, Shall man, expectant of..t alone unthankful, the sky, 1 his grate..ful | praise.. de- | ny? should the years forsake their course, the birds.. for- | sake.. the | shade ; — The winds be lulled, the sun and moon forget their old.. de- | cree ; HYMN. L. M. 8 L. 1 THERE seems a voice in every gale, A tongue in every | ope.. ning flower, To thee a gene.. ral | an.. them raise. 2 And shall my voice, great God, alone Breathe forth in ] praise.. thy | ho..ly | name? All Nature's debt is small to mine; For Nature soon shall cease.. to | be; matchless proof of love divine Thou gav'st im- | mor.. tal | life.. to ] me. PRESERVE me, O God, For in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, "Thou art my | Lord: My goodness ex-] tend.. eth | not..to | thee;" But to the saints that are in the earth, And to the excellent, in whom is all my de- | light. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another | god: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their | names.. in- | to..my | lips. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, and of my cup: Thou maintainest my | lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places : Yea, I have a | goodly | heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me | counsel; My reins also instruct me in the night season. I have set the Lord always be- | fore me; Because he is at my right | hand,.. I shall | not..be | moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory re-joiceth; My flesh also shall rest in | hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in | hell; Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One.. to | see.. cor- | ruption Thou wilt show me the path of life. At thy right hand there are pleasures.. for- [ ev..er- more. 45. PSALM LXXXVI. 1-6, 11, 12. 1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord; 2 Preserve my soul, for I am | holy; O thou my God, -save thy servant that trust..eth | in = | thee. 5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to for- | give; And plenteous in mercy unto all that call up- on thee 6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; And attend to the voice of my sup..pli- | ca = | tions. 11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy | truth. Unite my heart to fear thy | name. 12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; And I will glorify thy name.. for- | ev..er- | more. 46. THE LAST JUDGMENT. 1 GREAT God! what do I see and hear! The end of things cre- | ated; The trumpet sounds! - the graves restore which they contained be- | fore; 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, -- On those pre- | pared to | meet him. BEHOLD, I show you a mystery ; — - in a moment, And the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and | we = [shall..be | changed. So when this corruptible shall have put on incor- | ruption, · And this mortal shall have put on immor- | tality, Then shall be brought to pass the saying..that is | written, "Death is swallowed | up..in | vic.. to- | ry." O Death, where is thy | sting? O Grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, And the strength.. of sin.. is the | law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, Through our Lord Jesus Christ :- unmovable, be ye steadfast, — always abounding in the work.. of the | Lord, Forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not..in | vain.. in the Lord. |
