Psalm 131.

HE is the great Creator of the World, and sovereign Judge of all Mankind; he sits above on his glorious Throne, and in his Hands are the Keys of Life and Death.

Come let's Adore our God, to whom all things do live.

Whatever he pleases he brings to pass, and none can resist his Almighty Power; whatever he does is still the best, and none can accuse his all-knowing Goodness.

Come let's Adore our God, to whom all things do live.

Page 510

All things do live to thee, O Lord, thou sole preserver of universal Nature; the blessed Saints rejoyce in thy Glory, and the imperfect Souls are sustained in Hope.

Come let's Adore our God, to whom all things do live.

Even the unhappy Spirits declare thy Justice; and the rest of thy Creatures look up for Mercy, expecting at last to be removed from Corruption, into the glo∣rious liberty of the Sons of God.

Come let's Adore our God, to whom all things do live.

Lord! whilst we breath, let us live to thee; and when we expire, depart in thy Peace; that whether we live or die, we may be always thine, and after Death still live with thee.

Come let's Adore our God, to whom all things do live.

Give all thy Faithful eternal Rest, O merciful God, and may thy glorious Light shine upon them for ever.

Come let us humble our selves in the sight of God, and spread before him all our Complaints.
