The Magistrate's Psalm
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #185b (1787) Topics: Family government; Family government First Line: Mercy and judgement are my song Lyrics: 1 Mercy and judgement are my song;
And since they both to thee belong,
My gracious God, my righteous King,
To thee my songs and vows I bring.
2 If I am rais'd to bear the sword,
I’ll take my counsel from thy word,
Thy justice and thy heavenly grace,
Shall be the pattern of my ways.
3 Let wisdom all my actions guide,
And let my God with me reside;
No wicked thing shall dwell with me,
Which may provoke thy jealousy.
4 No sons of slander, rage and strife
Shall be companions of my life;
The haughty look, the heart of pride
Within my doors shall ne’er abide.
5 [I’ll search the land and raise the just
To posts of honour, wealth and trust;
The men that work thy holy will
Shall be my friends and favourites still.]
6 In vain shall sinners hope to rise
By flattering or malicious lies:
Nor, while the innocent I guard,
The bold offenders e'er be spar'd.
7 The impious crew (that factious band)
Shall hide their heads, or quit the land;
And all that break the public rest,
Where I have pow'r, shall be supprest. Scripture: Psalm 101 Languages: English

When God almighty came to be one of us
Not to condemn the sons of men
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #283 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ his personal glories and government; Government of Christ Lyrics:
Not to condemn the sons of men,
Did Christ, the Son of God, appear;
No weapons in his hands are seen,
No flaming sword nor thunder there.
Such was the pity of our God,
He loved the race of man so well,
He sent his Son to bear our load
Of sins, and save our souls from hell.
Sinners, believe the Savior's word,
Trust in his mighty name and live;
A thousand joys his lips afford,
His hands a thousand blessings give.
But vengeance and damnation lies
On rebels who refuse the grace;
Who God's eternal Son despise,
The hottest hell shall be their place.
Scripture: John 3:16-18 Languages: English
Not to condemn the sons of men
Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim

Who can describe the joys that rise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #328 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ his personal glories and government; Government of Christ Lyrics:
Who can describe the joys that rise
Through all the courts of Paradise,
To see a prodigal return,
To see an heir of glory born?
With joy the Father doth approve
The fruit of his eternal love;
The Son with joy looks down and sees
The purchase of his agonies.
The Spirit takes delight to view
The holy soul he formed anew;
And saints and angels join to sing,
The growing empire of their King.
Scripture: Luke 15:7 Languages: English
Who can describe the joys that rise
I'm not asham'd to own my Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #339 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ his personal glories and government; Government of Christ Lyrics:
I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend his cause;
Maintain the honor of his word,
The glory of his cross.
Jesus, my God! I know his name,
His name is all my trust;
Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.
Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure
What I've committed to his hands
Till the decisive hour.
Then will he own my worthless name
Before his Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Languages: English
I'm not asham'd to own my Lord
Bless'd are the humble souls that see
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #389 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ his personal glories and government; Government of Christ Lyrics:
[Blest are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty;
Treasures of grace to them are giv'n,
And crowns of joy laid up in heav'n.]
[Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.]
[Blest are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, noise and war;
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.]
[Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supplied, and fed
With living streams and living bread.]
[Blest are the men whose bowels move
And melt with sympathy and love;
From Christ the Lord shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.]
[Blest are the pure, whose hearts arc clean
From the defiling powers of sin;
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.]
[Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife;
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.]
[Blest are the suff'rers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord
Glory and joy are their reward.]
Scripture: Matthew 5:3-12 Languages: English
Bless'd are the humble souls that see
