Example II.—From Psalm CXXXVI.
"To God | the might | -y Lord,
your joy | -ful thanks | repeat;
To him | due praise | afford,
as good | as he | is great:
For God | does prove
Our con | -stant friend,
His bound | -less love
Shall nev | -er end."—Ib., p. 164.
Example III.—Gloria Patri.
"To God | the Fa | -ther, Son,
And Spir | -it ev | -er bless'd,
Eter | -nal Three | in One,
All wor | -ship be | address'd;
As here | -tofore
It was, | is now,
And shall | be so
For ev | -ermore."—Ib., p. 179.
Example IV.—Part of Psalm III.
[O] "Lord, | how man | -y are | my foes!
How man | -y those
That [now] | in arms | against | me rise!
Many | are they
That of | my life | distrust | -fully | thus say:
'No help | for him | in God | there lies.'
But thou, | Lord, art | my shield | my glo_ry_;
Thee, through | my sto_ry_,
Th' exalt | -er of | my head | I count;
Aloud | I cried
Unto | Jeho | -vah, he | full soon | replied,
And heard | me from | his ho | -ly mount."

Example V.—Six Lines of an "Air."
"As when | the dove
Laments | her love
All on | the na | -ked spray;
When he | returns,
No more | she mourns,
But loves | the live | -long day."
