Sweet is the Mem'ry of thy Grace

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P145b (1766) Topics: Persecutions of God Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the Mem'ry of thy Grace, My GOD my heav'nly King; Let Age to Age thy Rightousness In Sounds of Glory sing. 2 GOD reigns on high, but not confines His Goodness to the Skies; Through the whole Earth his Bounty shines, And ev'ry Want supplies. 3 With longing Eyes thy Creatures wait On Thee for daily Food, Thy lib'ral Hand provides them Meat, And fills their Mouths with Good. 4 How kind are thy Compassions Lord! How slow thine Anger moves! But soon he sends his pard'ning Word To chear the Souls he loves. 5 Creatures with all their endless Race Thy Pow'r and Praise proclaim; But Saints that taste thy richer Grace Delight to bless thy Name.

While Men grow bold in wicked Ways

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36b (1766) Topics: Persecutions of God Lyrics: 1 While Men grow bold in wicked Ways, And yet a GOD they own, My Heart within me often says, "Their Thoughts believe there's none." 2 Their Thoughts and Ways at once declare (Whate'er their Lips profess) GOD hath no Wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his Grace. 3 What strange Self-flatt'ry blinds their Eyes? But there's a hast'ning Hour, When they shall see with sore Surprize The Terrors of thy Pow'r. 4 Thy Justice shall maintain its Throne, Tho' Mountains melt away; Thy Judgments are a World unknown, A deep unfathom'd Sea. 5 Above these Heav'n's created Rounds, Thy Mercies, Lord, extend: Thy Truth out-lives the narrow Bounds, Where Time and Nature end. 6 Safety to Man thy Goodness brings, Nor overlooks the Beast; Beneath the Shadow of thy Wings Thy Children chuse to rest. 7 [From Thee, when Creature-Streams run low. And mortal Comforts die, Perpetual Springs of Life shall flow, And raise our Pleasures high. 8 Tho' all created Light decay, And Death close up our Eyes, Thy Presence makes eternal Day, Where Clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-9 Languages: English

O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD

How glorious in our Sight! And Men in ev'ry Age have sought His Wonders with Delight. 3 How most exact is Nature's Frame! How wise th' Eternal Mind! His Counsels never change the Scheme That his first Thoughts design'd. 4 When he redeem'd his chosen Sons, He fix'd his Cov'nant sure; The Orders that his Lips pronounce To endless Years endure. 5 Nature and Time, and Earth and Skies Thy heav'nly Skill proclaim: What shall we do to make us wise, But learn to read thy Name? 6 To fear thy Pow'r, to trust thy Grace, Is our divinest Skill; And he's the wisest of our Race That best obeys thy Will.

Praise ye the Lord: 'Tis good to raise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P147a (1766) Topics: Persecutions of God Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord; 'Tis good to raise Our Hearts and Voices in his Praise; His Nature and his Works invite To make this Duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers Nations to his Name; His Mercy melts the stubborn Soul, And makes the broken Spirit whole. 3 He form'd the Stars, those heav'nly Flames; He counts their Numbers, calls their Names; His Wisdom's vast, and knows no Bound, A Deep where all our Thoughts are drown'd. 4 Great is our Lord, and great his Might; And all his Glories infinite: He crowns the Meek, rewards the Just, And treads the Wicked to the Dust. Pause. 5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his Clouds all round the Sky; There he prepares the fruitful Rain, Nor lets the Drops descend in vain. 6 He makes the Grass the Hills adorn; And cloaths the smiling Fields with Corn; The Beasts with Food his Hands supply, And the young Ravens when they cry. 7 What is the Creature's Skill or Force, The sprightly Man, the warlike Horse, The nimble Wit, the active Limb? All are too mean Delights for him. 8 But Saints are lovely in his Sight; He views his Children with Delight; He sees their Hope, he knows their Fear; And looks and loves his Image there. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

With Songs and Honours sounding loud

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P147c (1766) Topics: Persecutions of God Lyrics: 1 With Songs and Honours sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the Heav'ns he spreads his Cloud, And Waters veil the Sky. 2 He sends his Show'rs of Blessings down To chear the Plains below; He makes the Grass the Mountains crown, And Corn in Vallies grow. 3 He gives the grazing Ox his Meat, He hears the Ravens cry; But Man who tastes his finest Wheat, Should raise his Honours high. 4 His steady Counsels change the Face Of the declining Year; He bids the Sun cut short his Race, And wint'ry Days appear. 5 His hoary Frost, his fleecy Snow, Descend and clothe the Ground; The liquid Streams forbear to flow, In icy Fetters bound. 6 When from the dreadful Stores on high He pours the rattling Hail, The Wretch that dares this GOD defy Shall find his Courage fail. 7 He sends his Word, and melts the Snow, The Fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer Gales to blow, And bids the Spring return. 8 The changing Wind, the flying Cloud, Obey his mighty Word; With Songs and Honours sounding loud, Praise ye the sov'reign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:13-18 Languages: English
