PSALM 89. v. 15, &c. Third Part. (C. M.) A blessed Gospel.
I
Blest are the souls that hear and knowThe gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
II
Their joy shall bear their spirits upThrough their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.
III
The Lord, our glory and defence,Strength and salvation gives;
Israel, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.
