London, Thursday, May 5. Being the Thanksgiving Day, the
Rev. Dr. Bentham, canon of Christ-Church, Oxford, preached
before their Majesties, &c. at the Chapel Royal, St.
James's: . . . When the following new anthem, composed by
Dr. Boyce was performed.
ANTHEM.
The Lord is King, be the people never so impatient: He
sitteth between the cherubims, be the earth never so
unquiet.
O thou sword of the Lord, put thyself into the scabbard,
rest, and be still.
Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we
will remember the name of the Lord our God.
