Terrible God, who reign'st on high
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #16 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Portion of saints and sinners Lyrics:
Terrible God, that reign'st on high,
How awful is thy thund'ring hand!
Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly!
Nor can all earth or hell withstand.
This the old rebel angels knew,
And Satan fell beneath thy frown;
Thine arrows struck the traitor through,
And weighty vengeance sunk him down.
This Sodom felt, and feels it still,
And roars beneath th' eternal load:
"With endless burnings who can dwell?
Or bear the fury of a God?"
Tremble, ye sinners, and submit,
Throw down your arms before his throne;
Bend your heads low beneath his feet,
Or his strong hand shall crush you down.
And ye, blest saints, that love him too,
With rev'rence bow before his name;
Thus all his heav'nly servants do:
God is a bright and burning flame.
Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English
Terrible God, who reign'st on high
Why should I vex my Soul, and fret
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P37a (1766) Topics: Portion of saints and sinners Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my Soul, and fret
To see the Wicked rise?
Or envy Sinners waxing great
By Violence and Lies.
2 As flowery Grass cut down at Noon,
Before the Evening fades,
So shall their Glories vanish soon
In everlasting Shades.
3 Then let me make the Lord my Trust,
And practise all that's good;
So shall I dwell among the Just,
And he'll provide me Food.
4 I to my GOD my Ways commit,
And chearful wait his Will;
Thy Hand, which guides my doubtful Feet,
Shall my Desires fulfil.
5 Mine Innocence shalt thou display,
And make thy Judgments known,
Fair as the Light of dawning Day,
And glorious as the Noon.
6 The Meek at last the Earth possess,
And are the Heirs of Heav'n;
True Riches, with abundant Peace,
To humble Souls are giv'n.
Pause.
7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his Way,
Nor let your Anger rise,
Tho' Providence should long delay
To punish haughty Vice.
8 Let Sinners join to break your Peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for he sees
Their Day of Vengeance come.
9 They have drawn out the threat'ning Sword,
Have bent the murd'rous Bow,
To slay the Men that fear the Lord,
And bring the Righteous low.
10 My GOD shall break their Bows, and burn
Their persecuting Darts;
Shall their own Swords against them turn,
And Pain surprize their Hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15 Languages: English
Why should I vex my Soul, and fret
Arise, my gracious GOD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P17a (1766) Topics: Portion of saints and sinners Lyrics: 1 Arise, my gracious GOD,
And make the Wicked flee;
They are but thy chastising Rod
To drive thy Saints to Thee.
2 Behold the Sinner dies,
His haughty Words are vain;
Here in this Life his Pleasure lies,
And all beyond is Pain.
3 Then let his Pride advance,
And boast of all his Store;
The Lord is my Inheritance,
My Soul can wish no more.
4 I shall behold the Face
Of my forgiving GOD:
And stand compleat in Righteousness,
Wash'd in my Saviour's Blood.
5 There's a new Heav'n begun
When I awake from Death,
Drest in the Likeness of thy Son,
And draw immortal Breath. Scripture: Psalm 17:13-15 Languages: English
Arise, my gracious GOD
My Refuge is the God of Love
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P11 (1766) Topics: Portion of saints and sinners Lyrics: 1 My Refuge is the GOD of Love,
Why do my Foes insult, and cry,
"Fly like a timorous trembling Dove,
"To distant Woods or Mountains fly."
2 If Government be all destroy'd,
(That firm Foundation of our Peace)
And Violence makes Justice void,
Where shall the Righteous seek Redress?
3 The Lord in Heaven has fix'd his Throne,
His Eye surveys the World below;
To him all mortal Things are known,
His Eye-lids search our Spirits through.
4 If he afflicts his Saints so far,
To prove their Love, and try their Grace,
What may the bold Transgressors fear?
His very Soul abhors their Ways.
5 On impious Wretches he shall rain
Tempests of Brimstone, Fire and Death,
Such as he kindled on the Plain
Of Sodom, with his angry Breath.
6 The righteous Lord loves righteous Souls,
Whose Thoughts and Actions are sincere;
And with a gracious Eye beholds
The Men that his own Image bear.
Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English

Blest is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat:
But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
[He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Amongst the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.
His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell.

The man is ever blessed
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place;
But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live;
His works are heav'nly fruit.
Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
He knows, and he approves,
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

Happy the man whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way that sinners go,
Who hates the place where atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
He loves t' employ the morning light
Amongst the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure, pondering o'er his word.
He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green.
And heav'n will shine with kindest beams
On every work his hands begin.
But sinners find their counsels crossed:
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge, with stern command,
Divides him to a diff'rent place.
"Straight is the way my saints have trod;
I blessed the path, and drew it plain;
But you would choose the crooked road,
And down it leads to endless pain."
