HYMN 382. (2. PART.)

Argument.

The Church records God's mercies past, Her strength and safety to the last.

Psalm 48.

A Midst thy holy house, O God,
thy kindness to remembrance came,
Thy praise on earth is spread abroad,
according to thy Glorious Name.
Thy right hands full of righteousness,
therefore let Sion-mount rejoyce,
And Judahs Towns their joys express,
to hear thy iudgments awfull voice.

Walk round about and Sion see,
her stately Towers distinctly tell,
Her palaces consider ye,
and mark ye all her bulwarks well:
That so to all posterity,
it may be truly testify'd,
This God (our God perpetually)
even unto death will be our guide.
