This Is My Song
Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished
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.) #193 (1786) Topics: Nation's blest and punished; Nation's blest and punished First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes,
Scourges the madness of the times,
He turns their fields to barren sand,
And dries the rivers from the land.
2 His word can raise the springs again,
And make the wither'd mountains green,
Send showery blessings from the skies;
And harvests in the desert rise.
3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild as they,
He bids th' opprest and poor repair,
And builds them towns and cities there.
4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant,
Whose yearly fruit supplies their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin,
He lets the heathen nations in,
A savage crew invades their lands,
Their princes die by barbarous hands.
6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn,
Wander unpity'd and forlorn;
The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd,
And desolation spreads the field.
7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns,
Again his dreadful hand he turns:
Again he makes their cities thrive,
And bids the dying churches live.]
8 The righteous with a joyful sense
Admire the works of providence;
And tongues of atheists shall no more,
Blaspheme the God that saints adore.
9 How few with pious care record
These wondrous dealings of the Lord!
But wise observers still shall find
The Lord is holy, just and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

With Beams of heav'nly Grace;

Do thou our Glory stand,
And, like a Wall of Guardian Fire,
Surround the Fav'rite Land.]

Sound all the Earth abroad;
And distant Nations know and love
Their Saviour and their God?

Sing loud with solemn Voice;
While British Tongues exalt his Praise,
And British Hearts rejoice.
5 He, the great Lord, the Sov'reign Judge,
That sits enthron'd above,
Wisely commands the Worlds he made
In Justice and in Love.

And yield a full Increase;
Our GOD will crown his chosen Isle
With Fruitfulness and Peace.
