'I lift my banners,' saith the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #502 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duty to God and man; Relative duties Lyrics:
"I lift my banner," saith the Lord,
"Where Antichrist has stood;
The city of my gospel foes
Shall be a field of blood.
"My heart has studied just revenge,
And now the day appears;
The day of my redeemed is come
To wipe away their tears.
"Quite weary is my patience grown,
And bids my fury go;
Swift as the lightning it shall move,
And be as fatal too.
"I call for helpers, but in vain;
Then has my gospel none?
Well, mine own arm has might enough
To crush my foes alone.
"Slaughter and my devouring sword
Shall walk the streets around,
Babel shall reel beneath my stroke,
And stagger to the ground."
Thy honors, O victorious King!
Thine own right hand shall raise,
While we thy awful vengeance sing,
And our deliv'rer praise.
Scripture: Isaiah 63:4-7 Languages: English
'I lift my banners,' saith the Lord
In thine own ways, O God of love
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #603 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duty to God and man; Relative duties Lyrics:
In thine own ways, O God of love,
We wait the visits of thy grace,
Our soul's desire is to thy name,
And the remembrance of thy face.
My thoughts are searching, Lord, for thee
'Mongst the black shades of lonesome night;
My earnest cries salute the skies
Before the dawn restore the light.
Look, how rebellious men deride
The tender patience of my God!
But they shall see thy lifted hand,
And feel the scourges of thy rod.
Hark! the Eternal rends the sky,
A mighty voice before him goes;
A voice of music to his friends,
But threat'ning thunder to his foes.
Come, children, to your Father's arms,
Hide in the chambers of my grace,
Till the fierce storms be overblown,
And my revenging fury cease.
My sword shall boast its thousands slain,
And drink the blood of haughty kings,
While heav'nly peace around my flock
Stretches its soft and shady wings.
Scripture: Isaiah 26:21 Languages: English
In thine own ways, O God of love
Psalm 24
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.56 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duty to God and man First Line: The earth for ever is the Lord's Lyrics:
The earth for ever is the Lord's,
With Adam's num'rous race;
He raised its arches o'er the floods,
And built it on the seas.
But who among the sons of men
May visit thine abode?
He that has hands from mischief clean,
Whose heart is right with God.
This is the man may rise and take
The blessings of his grace;
This is the lot of those that seek
The God of Jacob's face.
Now let our souls' immortal powers
To meet the Lord prepare,
Lift up their everlasting doors,
The King of glory's near.
The King of glory! who can tell
The wonders of his might?
He rules the nations; but to dwell
With saints is his delight.

Psalm 24
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.57 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duty to God and man First Line: This spacious earth is all the Lord's Lyrics:
This spacious earth is all the Lord's,
And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds:
He raised the building on the seas,
And gave it for their dwelling-place.
But there's a brighter world on high,
Thy palace, Lord, above the sky:
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his Maker God?
He that abhors and fears to sin,
Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean,
Him shall the Lord the Savior bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.
These are the men, the pious race,
That seek the God of Jacob's face:
These shall enjoy the blissful sight,
And dwell in everlasting light.
Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the King of glory nigh!
Who can this King of glory be?
The mighty Lord, the Savior's he.
Ye heav'nly gates, your leaves display,
To make the Lord the Savior way:
Laden with spoils from earth and hell,
The Conqueror comes with God to dwell.
Raised from the dead, he goes before;
He opens heav'n's eternal door,
To give his saints a blest abode,
Near their Redeemer and their God.

Our Example
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Benevolence a duty and pleasure First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love?
Such let our conversation be:
The serpent blended with the dove,
Wisdom and meek simplicity.
2 Whene'er the angry passions rise,
And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife,
To Jesus let us lift our eyes,
Bright pattern of the Christian life!
3 O how benevolent and kind!
How mild! how ready to forgive!
Be this the temper of our mind,
And these the rules by which we live.
4 To do his heavenly Father's will,
Was his employment and delight;
Humility and holy zeal
Shone thro' his life divinely bright!
5 Dispensing good where'er he came,
The labors of his life were love;
O, if we love the Savior's name,
Let his divine example move.
6 But ah how blind! how weak we are!
How frail! how apt to turn aside!
Lord, we depend upon thy care,
And ask thy spirit for our guide.
7 Thy fair example may we trace,
To teach us what we ought to be;
Make us by thy transforming grace,
Dear Savior, daily more like thee. Languages: English
Our Example
Justice and equity
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duty to God And our neighbor First Line: Blessed redeemer how divine Lyrics: 1 Blessed redeemer how divine,
How righteous is this rule of thine,
"Never to deal with others worse
"Than we would have them deal with us!"
2 This golden lesson, short and plain,
Gives nor the mind nor memory pain:
And every conscience must approve
This universal law of love.
3 'Tis written in each mortal breast,
Where all our tenderest wishes rest:
We draw it from our inmost veins,
Where love to self resides and reigns.
4 Is reason ever at a loss?
Call in self-love to judge the cause:
Let our own fondest passions shew
How we should treat our neighbor too.
5 How bless'd would every nation prove,
Thus rul'd by equity and love!
All would be friends without a foe,
And form a paradise below.
6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep
Thy sacred law of love asleep;
And take our envy, wrath, and pride,
Those savage passions, for our guide. Scripture: Matthew 7:12 Languages: English
Justice and equity
God in the great Assembly sits
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXII (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of Judges and Magistrates Lyrics: 1 God in the great Assembly sits,
Enthron'd, where his impartial Eye
In State surveys the Earthly Gods,
and does their weaker Judgments try.
How can ye then unjustly judge;
And be to daring Sinners kind?
Strive ye the Orphans to defend,
And let the Poor your Justice find.
2 Protect the humble helpless Man,
When he's reduc'd to deep Distress,
And let not him become a Prey.
To such as would his Soul oppress.
They neither know, nor will they learn,
But blindly roving, go stray;
Justice and Truth, the World's Support,
Are now beginning to decay.
3 Well then may GOD, in Anger, say,
"I've call'd you by my sacred Name,
"I've said ye're GOD's, the Sons and Heirs
"Of Glory and immortal Fame,
"But ne'ertheless, your unjust Deeds,
"To strict Account I'll surely call;
"You all shall die like common Men,
"like other haughty Tyrants fall.
4 Arise, and thy just Judgments, LORD,
Throughout th'astonish'd World display,
And all the Nations of the Earth,
Shall own thy everlasting Sway. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: [God, in the great Assembly sits]
God in the great Assembly sits
Have mercy, Lord, on me
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #IV (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord on me,
for thou my Judge shalt be,
My Hopes in thee remaining,
Oh! to my humble Pray'r
bow down thy gracious Ear.
Be thou my Cause sustaining;
How long with vain Design,
will ye my foes combine,
In wrathful Indignation?
How long destructive Lies
maliciously devise,
To blot my Reputation.
3 Consider that the Just,
who place in God their Trust,
Are still by him protected;
The Lord my voice will hear,
and grant my humble pray'r,
Whene'er to him directed.
Oh! stand ye then in Awe
of his most sacred Law,
Reflect with deep Contrition;
Flee ev'ry Thing that's Ill,
and humble to his Will,
Your Hearts in low Submission.
3 Amidst thine anxious Cares,
and Soul distressing Fears,
To GOD pray without ceasing;
Sue for his heav'nly Grace,
and offer Righteousness,
A Sacrifice well pleasing.
While Sinners restless grow,
more prosp'rous Times to know,
In Discontent complaining;
LORD, let thy Face divine,
on me with Glory shine,
Thy Mercy me sustaining.
4 So to my grateful Heart,
thy Goodness shall impart,
More true and lasting Pleasure
Than theirs who seek to find
their Joy and Peace of Mind,
In Stores of worldly Treasure.
With thy Protection blest,
I'll teak my needful Rest,
My Head in Peace reclining;
Securely I'll repose,
not fear, tho' all my Foes,
Against me are combining. Scripture: Psalm 4 Languages: English Tune Title: [Have mercy, Lord, on me]
Have mercy, Lord, on me
Thy Mercies, LORD, shall be my Theme
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CI (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercies, LORD, shall be my Theme,
Thy Judgments I will tell;
And whilst I lift my voice to thee,
My Song on them shall dwell:
When wilt thou come, and unto me
Thy Righteousness impart?
That I before thee in my House,
May walk with perfect Heart.
2 An ill Design, or treach'rous Act,
I ne'er will take in Hand;
Nor shall a froward wicked Man,
Within my Presence stand:
The private Slanderer shall be,
By publick Justice try'd;
Nor will I suffer him, who wears
The haughty Looks of Pride.
3 But I with Pleasure will behold,
The Man from Falsehood free;
And he that leads a godly Life,
Shall still my Servant be:
For treach'rous Men, I never will,
For my Companions take;
Nor shall mischievous Liars e'er,
My House their Dwelling make.
4 My utmost Pow'r I will exert,
The Wicked to destroy;
Nor shall a Race of sinful Men,
Again the Land annoy:
All wicked Doers I'll root out,
They shall no more remain;
Nor thus the city of the LORD,
With hateful Deeds profane. Scripture: Psalm 101 Languages: English Tune Title: [Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Theme]
Thy Mercies, LORD, shall be my Theme
With ever restless, and ungovern'd Rage
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 With ever restless, and ungover'd Rage,
Why are the Heathen ill Designs contriving?
Why thus in rash and vain Attempts engage,
Which they can ne'er complete, tho; boldly striving?
The earnly Kings, in council close combined,
Their utmost Pow'r, their various Forces bring;
In Union join'd, in compact all designed,
Against the LORD, and his anointed King.
2 "Must we submit," presumptuously they say,
"And yield, obedient, whilst they keep us under?
"No, let us cast their slavish Bands away.
"Shake off their Chains, and break their Cords asunder.'
But on his Throne the LORD in Glory seated,
Knows their Intent, and sees how they combine;
And while their bold Attempts are all defeated,
Laughs them to Scorn, and mocks their vain Design.
3 His waken'd Wrath shall shake his guilty Foes,
In great Displeasure he shall sore distress them;
And thus while yet they dare hi Will oppose,
The LORD himself in Thunder shall address them;
"Tho' madly thus you have my Pow'r disowned,
"Yet be assur'd, the King whom I ordain,
"On Sion’s holy Hill shall sit enthroned,
"And there securely shall for ever reign."
4 Let all attend and hear GOD's fixt Decree
On which he made to me this Declaration,
“Thou art my Son, I have begotten thee
"This Day, be Sov'regin LORD of ev'ry Nation;
“Ask, and receive, 'tis yielded to thy Pleasure;
"The Heathen thine Inheritance shall be;
"Lands far remote, whose Limits know no Measure,
"Shall be eternally posses'd by thee.
5 "Thy awful threatning Sceptte thou shalt shake
"O'er all the guilty Foes, and keep them under;
"Just as the massy Bars of Iron break
"The Potter’s weak and brittle Ware asunder."
Learn then, ye Princes, hear with due Attention,
And be ye wise, ye judges of the Earth;
His sacred Name with humble Rev'rence mention,
And joy before him with a godly Mirth.
6 Before the Son bow down with due Respect,
Strive to appease him by a low Submission,
Lest he in Wrath revenge the bold Neglect,
And doom you, helpless, to a swift Perdition.
If but in Part, his Anger be inflamed,
What Mortal can the fatal stroke withstand?
He soon shall see his daring Foes ashamed,
And crush'd at once by his Almighty Hand.
7 Then blest are they, who on our GOD rely,
With constant Hope on his strong Arm depending,
Who humbly strive to serve the LORD most high,
With grateful Hearts and Fervour never ending. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English Tune Title: [With ever restless and ungoverned rage]
With ever restless, and ungovern'd Rage
All mortal Vanites, be gone
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXV (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 All mortal Vanities be gone,
Nor tempt my Eyes, nor tire my Ears;
Behold, amidst th' eternal Throne
A Vision of the Lamb appears.
[2 Glory his fleecy Robe adorns,
Mark'd with the bloody Death he bore;
Seven are his Eyes, and sev'n his Horns,
To speak his Wisdom and his Pow'r.
3 Lo, he receives a sealed Book
From him that sits upon the Throne;
Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look
On dark Decrees and Things unknown.]
4 All the assembling Saints around
Fall worshipping before the Lamb,
And in new Songs of Gospel-Sound
Address their Honours to his Name.
[5 The Joy, the Shout, the Harmony
Flies o'er the Everlasting Hills;
Worthy art Thou alone, (they cry)
To read the Book, to loose the Seals.]
6 Our Voices join the heav'nly Strain,
And with transporting Pleasure sing,
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
To be our Teacher and our King.
7 His Words of Prophecy reveal
Eternal Counsels, deep Designs;
His Grace and Vengeance shall fulfil
The peaceful and the dreadful Lines.
8 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls from Hell,
With thine invaluable Blood;
And Wretches that did once rebel,
Are now made Fav'rites of their God.
9 Worthy for ever is the Lord,
That dy'd for Treasons not his own,
By ev'ry Tongue to be ador'd,
And dwell upon his Father's Throne. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-9 Languages: English
All mortal Vanites, be gone
Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise?
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXXII (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise?
And where our Courage fled?
Has restless Sin and raging Hell
Struck all our Comforts dead?
2 Have we forgot th' Almighty Name
That form'd the Earth and Sea?
And can an all-creating Arm
Grow weary or decay?
3 Treasures of everlasting Might
In our Jehovah dwell;
He gives the Conquest to the Weak,
And treads their Foes to Hell.
4 Mere mortal Pow'r shall fade and die,
And youthful Vigour cease,
But we that wait upon the Lord,
Shall feel our Strength increase.
5 The Saints shall mount on Eagles Wings,
And taste the promis'd Bliss,
'Till their unwearied Feet arrive
Where perfect Pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30 Languages: English
Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise?
Life is the Time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXVIII (1766) Topics: Day of Grace and Time of Duty Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord,
The Time t' insure the great Reward;
And while the Lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest Sinner may return.
[2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n;
The Day of Grace, and Mortals may
Secure the Blessings of the Day.]
3 The Living know that they must die,
But all the Dead forgotten lie;
Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
[4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost,
Their Envy buried in the Dust;
They have no Share in all that's done
Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.]
5 Then what my Thoughts design to do,
My Hands with all your Might pursue,
Since no Device, nor Work is found,
Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground.
6 There are no Acts of Pardon past
In the cold Grave, to which we haste;
But Darkness, Death, and long Despair,
Reign in eternal Silence there.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English
Life is the Time to serve the Lord
Not the Malicious or Profane
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CIV (1766) Topics: Grace all sufficient in Duty and Sufferings Lyrics: 1 Not the Malicious or Profane,
The Wanton or the Proud,
Nor Thieves, nor Sland'rers shall obtain
The Kingdom of our God.
2 Surprising Grace! And such were we
By Nature and by Sin,
Heirs of immortal Misery,
Unholy and unclean.
3 But we are wash'd in Jesus' Blood,
We're pardon'd through his Name;
And the good Spirit of our God
Has sanctify'd our Frame.
4 O for a persevering Pow'r
To keep thy just Commands!
We would defile our Hearts no more,
No more pollute our Hands.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:10-11 Languages: English

Whene'er I look into thy word
To thee, O GOD, we render Praise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXV (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 To thee, O GOD, we render Praise,
To thee with daily Thanks repair;
For that thy Name to us is nigh,
Thy great and wond'rous Works declare.
For thou, O LORD, art still the same,
And very glorious is thy Name.
2 In Israel when my Throne is fix'd,
With me shall Truth and Justice reign;
The Land with Discord shakes, but I
The falling Pillars will sustain.
To Fools, I said, your Wrongs redress,
To wicked Men, your Pride suppress.
3 For that Promotion which to gain,
Your vain Ambition daily strives;
From neither East, nor West, nor North,
Nor yet from Southern Climes arrives.
For GOD will cast the Haughty down,
And lift the Humble to a Throne.
4 His Hand holds forth a dreadful Cup,
With purple Wine full mix'd 'tis crown'd,
The deadly Potion which his Wrath,
Shall pour upon the Nations round,
Its bitter Dregs shalt sinners squeeze,
And drink up all the deadly Lees.
5 But I will talk of Jacob's GOD,
And to the World his Pow'r relate;
His Justice, Truth and Mercy too,
My song shall ever celebrate;
The Wicked shall before him fly,
The Just shall be exalted high.

And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
2 Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firma dn virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.
3 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside. Languages: English
Come, O Creator, Spirit blest!
All things hang on our possessing
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a326 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing
God's free love and grace and blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart;
He who God for His hath taken,
'Mid the changing world unshaken,
Keeps a free, heroic heart.
2 He who hitherto hath fed me
And to many a joy hath led me,
Is and ever shall be mine;
He who did so gently school me,
He who still doth guide and rule me,
Will not leave me now to pine.
3 Shall I weary me with fretting
O'er vain trifles and regretting
Things that never can remain?
I will strive but that to to win me
Which can shed true rest within me,
Rest the world must seek in vain.
4 When my heart with longing sickens,
Hope again my courage quickens;
For my wish shall be fulfilled,
If is please His most will most tender:
Life and soul I will surrender
Unto Him on whom I build.
5 Well He knows how best to grant me
All the longing hopes that haunt me;
All things have their proper day.
I to Him would dictate never,
As God will, so be it ever,
When He wills I will obey.
6 If on earth He bids me linger,
He will guide me with His finger
Through the years that now look dim;
All that earth has fleets and changes,
As a river onward ranges,
But I rest in peace on Him.

All things hang on our possessing
O God, Thou faithful God
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a330 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling;
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips still duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace;
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
That nought be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed.
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here earth
Me from my Savior sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred' grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.
