Israel's Rebellion and Punishment; or, the sins and Chastisements of God's People

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #146b (1787) Topics: Glutton; Glutton First Line: Oh what a stiff rebellious house Lyrics: 1 Oh what a stiff rebellious house Was Jacob's antient race! False to their own most solemn vows, And to their Maker's grace. 2 They broke the covenant of his love, And did his laws despise, Forgot the works he wrought to prove His power before their eyes. 3 They saw the plagues on Egypt light From his avenging hand: What dreadful tokens of his might Spread o'er the stubborn land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty sea, And march'd in safety through, With watery walls to guard their way, 'Till they had 'scap'd the foe. 5 A wondrous pillar mark'd the road, Compos'd of shade and light; By day it prov'd a sheltering cloud, A leading fire by night. 6 He from the rock their thirst supply'd; The gushing waters flow'd, And ran in rivers by their side, Along the desert road. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most high, And dar'd distrust his hand; "Can he with bread our host supply "Amidst this desert land?" 8 The Lord with indignation heard, And caus'd his wrath to flame: His terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his name.

"We loathe this light, this airy bread; "We must have flesh to taste." 5 "Ye shall have flesh to please your lust," The Lord in wrath reply'd, And sent them quails like sand or dust, Heap'd up on every side. 6 He gave them all their own desire; And greedy as they fed, His vengeance burnt with secret fire, And smote the rebels dead. 7 When some were slain the rest return'd And sought the Lord with tears; Under the rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious hand The nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd land.

But they in murm'ring language said, "Manna is all our feast; We loathe this light, this airy bread; We must have flesh to taste."

Great God, thy glories shall employ

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #39 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Glutton Lyrics: Great God! thy glories shall employ My holy fear, my humble joy; My lips in songs of honor bring Their tribute to th' eternal King. [Earth, and the stars, and worlds unknown, Depend precarious on his throne; All nature hangs upon his word, And grace and glory own their Lord.] [His sovereign power what mortal knows? If be command, who dares oppose? With strength he girds himself around, And treads the rebels to the ground.] [Who shall pretend to teach him skill, Or guide the counsels of his will? His wisdom, like a sea divine, Flows deep and high beyond our line.] [His name is holy, and his eye Burns with immortal jealousy He hates the sons of pride, and sheds His fiery vengeance on their heads.] [The beamings of his piercing sight Bring dark hypocrisy to light; Death and destruction naked lie, And hell uncovered to his eye.] [Th' eternal law before him stands; His justice, with impartial hands, Divides to all their due reward, Or by the sceptre or the sword.] [His mercy, like a boundless sea, Washes our load of guilt away; While his own Son came down and died T' engage his justice on our side.] [Each of his words demands my faith; My soul can rest on all he saith; His truth inviolably keeps The largest promise of his lips.] O tell me, with a gentle voice, "Thou art my God," and I'll rejoice! Filled with thy love, I dare proclaim The brightest honors of thy name. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English
