Religion and Justice, Goodness and Truth; or, Duties to God and Man; or, the Qualifications of a Christian

Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who minds religion now,
And humbly walk with God below:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean;
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbour wrong.
3 [Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt:
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.]
4 [Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.]
5 [He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.]
6 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.
7 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

Prayer and Faith of persecuted Saints; or, Imprecatins mixed with Charity
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #63 (1740) Topics: Charity mixed with imprecations First Line: Now plead my Cause, Almighty God Lyrics: 1 Now plead my Cause, Almighty God,
With all the Sons of Strife;
And fight against the Men of Blood,
Who fight against my Life.
2 Draw out thy Spear and stop their Way,
Lift thine avenging Rod;
But to my Soul in Mercy say,
"I am thy Saviour God!"
3 They plant their Snares to catch my Feet,
And Nets of Mischief spread;
Plunge the Destroyers in the Pit
That their own Hands have made.
4 Let Fogs and Darkness hide their Way,
And slippery be their Ground;
Thy Wrath shall make their Lives a Prey,
And all their rage confound.
5 They fly like Chaff before the Wind,
Before thine angry Breath;
The Angel of the Lord behind
Pursues them down to death.
6 They love the Road that leads to Hell;
Then let the Rebels die,
Whose Malice is implacable
Against the Lord on high.
7 But if thou hast a chosen Few
Amongst that impious Race,
Divide them from the bloody Crew,
By thy surprizing Grace.
8 Then will I raise my tuneful Voice,
To make thy Wonders known;
In their Salvation I'll rejoice,
And bless thee for my own. Scripture: Psalm 35:1-9 Languages: English
Prayer and Faith of persecuted Saints; or, Imprecatins mixed with Charity
Charity to the Poor; or, Religionin Words and Deeds
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #68 (1740) Topics: Charity to the poor First Line: Why do the wealthy Wicked boast Lyrics: 1 Why do the wealthy Wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest Portion of the Just
Excels the Sinner's Gold.
2 The Wicked borrows of his Friends,
But ne'er designs to pay;
The Saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the Poor away.
3 His Alms with lib'ral Heart he gives
Amongst the Sons of Need;
His Mem'ry to long Ages lives,
And blessed is his Seed.
4 His Lips abhor to talk prophane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready Tongue declares to Men
What he has learn'd of GOD.
5 The Law and Gospel of the Lord
Deep in his Heart abide;
Led by the Spirit, and the Word,
His Feet shall never slide.
6 When Sinners fall, the Righteous stand,
Preserv'd from ev'ry Snare;
They shall possess the promis'd Land,
And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16-31 Languages: English
Charity to the Poor; or, Religionin Words and Deeds
Charity to the Poor; or Pity to the Afflicted
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #76a (1740) Topics: Charity to the poor First Line: Blest is the Man whose Bowels move Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man whose Bowels move,
And melt with Pity to the Poor;
Whose Soul, by sympathizing Love,
Feels what his Fellow-Saints endure.
2 His Heart contrives for their Relief
More Good than his own Hands can do;
He, in the Time of gen'ral Grief,
Shall find the Lord has Bowels too.
3 His Soul shall live secure on Earth,
With secret Blessings on his Head,
When Drought, and Pestilence, and Dearth
Around him multiply their Dead.
4 Or, if he languish on his Couch,
God will pronounce his Sins forgiv'n,
Will save him with a healing Touch,
Or take his willing Soul to Heav'n. Scripture: Psalm 41:1-3 Languages: English
Charity to the Poor; or Pity to the Afflicted
The Blessings of the liberal Man
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #198b (1786) Topics: Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who stands in awe
Of God, and loves his sacred law:
His seed on earth shall be renown'd;
His house the seat of wealth shall be,
An unexhausted treasury,
And with successive honours crown'd.
2 His liberal favours he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends:
A generous pity fills his mind:
Yet what his charity impairs,
He saves by prudence in affairs,
And thus he's just to all mankind.
3 His hands, while they his alms bestow'd,
His glory's future harvest sow'd,
The sweet remembrance of the just
Like a green root revives and bears
A train of blessings for his heirs,
When dying nature sleeps in dust.
4 Beset with threatening dangers round,
Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground;
His conscience holds his courage up:
The soul that's filled with virtue's light,
Shines brightest in affliction's night:
And sees in darkness beams of grace.
Pause.
5 [Ill tidings never can surprise
His heart that fix'd on God relies,
Though waves and tempests roar around:
Safe on the rock he sits, and sees
The shipwreck of his enemies,
And all their hope and glory drown'd.
6 The wicked shall his triumph see,
And gnash their teeth in agony,
To find their expectations crost:
They and their envy, pride and spite,
Sink down to everlasting night,
And all their names in darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
The Blessings of the liberal Man
