THE following rules are recommended to be observ- ed* relative to the manner of performing the Psalms. I. That the Clerk first give out the Psalm to be sung, in his natural tone of voice, varying the manner ofgivmg it out according to the" subject of the Psalm: Thus, if it be a Psalm of praise or thanksgiving, he will say, « Let us sing to thepraUc of God,'" the 100th, (or 104th, &c.) Psalm. I If a Psahn of instruction, '» Let us sing fir our Godly [« instruction,"' the 112th, (or 12vSth, &c.) Psalm. If a Psalm of supplication, « Let us sing devoutly to I" Gorf," the 86th, (or 102jI) Psahn. II. The Organist will then play the tune once ovi?r, |the last note of which will be the key or pitch note. III. The Clerk will then give out the first line of the Psalm, in the key note, and no more during the whole I Psalm. IV. The congregation are then desired all to stand up, ind, as many as can sing, to join in the Psalm. V. All will sing in unison, except any be perfectly , jquainted with the bass, in which case, they will siilg ^hat part if they prefer it. VI. It is recommended to all to sing moderately, and lot too loud. By the observation of these rules, there is no doubt bu* ^hat the Psalms may be performed in such a manner as to render them, what they reallv should be, a very pleasing fdflfecting and edifying part c/the service. w 1 To Thi Wl Th Im F S A Ij M S' OP ptaise anu Cftanksgitting.
