SELECTION.

[Ps. xxxix. 4, 5, 6.]

LORD, make me to know mine end,

and the measure of my days, | what..it | is; That I may know how frail..I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days

as a handbreadth,

and mine

age as nothing.. be- | fore thee:
every man at his best state

Verily,

is altogether | van.. . i- | ty.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show;
they are dis- quieted..in | vain :

He heapeth up riches,

and knoweth not | who..shall | gather them.

[Ps. xlix. 17, 19.]

For when he dieth he shall

carry nothing away ; —

his glory shall not de- | scend

= after him:

He shall go to the gene- ration... of his fathers.

Dreams of a sleep that death must break:-
Alas! before it bids us wake,

They dis.. ap- | pear.

2 Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that rolled so light and gay, -
The heart's.. blithe | tone?

The strength is gone, the step is slow, -
And joy grows weariness and woe,

When age..comes | on.

PSALM XC. 1-6, 11, 12.

1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-place, in | all.. gene- | rations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth,

or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,even from everlasting to

ever- last.. ing- thou.. art | God.

3 Thou turnest man to destruction;

Return, ye | children.. of men.

and sayest,

4 For a thousand years in thy sight,
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and | as. a watch.. in the night.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood;
they are as a sleep; -

in the morning they are like grass which | grow..eth | up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up;

in the evening it is

cut | down,

111

cut | down..-and | withereth.

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

even according to thy fear, so..is thy | wrath.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may ap- ply.. our

24.

hearts.. unto | wisdom.

HYMN. 8s & 6. Peculiar.

1 BEYOND where Cedron's waters flow, -
Behold the suffering Saviour go

To sad.. Geth-semane;
His countenance is all divine,

Yet grief ap- pears..in | eve..ry | line.

2 He bows beneath the sins of men;-
He cries to God, and cries again,
In sad.. Geth- | semane;

He lifts his mournful eyes above

My Father, I can.. this cup.. re- | move?"
