1ne following beautiful and expressive psalm sung
with great effect by the excellent choir
Thy wo1drous power, Almighty Lord,
HAT rules the boisterous sea,
The bold sdventurofe record,
Who tempt that dangerous way
AT thy command the winds ariee,
And swell the towering wayes;
Wife tfey Aeterish'd 4 mount the sGcs,
And six In gaping graves
DlsmaJ d t3lsy climb the watery hius,
ItsmaJ'd they plunge again;
.gash ,iAe . tottcaing dEunkard reels,
End Gnes his couIage vAin
~ INTO tho Lord they raise thsir cries;
Tie hears thsr loud request,
5e cams the fierce tempestssous skies,
And hys tho floods to rest
2cjoicing they forget their fears;
They REQ the storm alAy d.
Abe viah'd- for haven nov appears,
There, ict their vows be pedi
o that ths eons Of men would praise
1horgooinsss of the Lord

His wcndrous lore record
The sn.e communion servies was next read, and the
sssSw'1g bysin sung
when gathering clouds around visv,
And tsys ere dArs, and friends are few,
On Him I lean, who, not In vain,
saerlenced every huusn rain
10 feels my grfofs, he sees my fears,
ard counts and treasures up my tears
Wien sorroving DER some stons bend,
Which covers all that VA friend,
And fSo.n bis voice, his hAnd, his smile,
Ifv:iss me- for . Httle while
Ehou, Saviour seest the tears shed,
For thou didst weep DER Lazarus dead
And, oh when have safely past
shroueI every conflict bot ths last,
SIN, still unchangfng, watch besice
Ny bed Of death, for Thou hast died
Then point to realms Is endless day,
And wipe the latest tear away
