Exhortation to Prayer

Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Exhortation to Prayer First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there? 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw, Prayer climes the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles, when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 While Moses stood with arms spread wide, Success was found on Israel's side; But when thro' weariness they fail'd, That moment Amalek prevail'd. 5 Have you no words? ah, think again, Words flow apace when you complain, And fill a fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To Heaven in supplication sent; Your cheerful song would oft'ner be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me."

The Kingship of Jesus Christ

Hymnal: The Psalter #3 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Godly Fear Exhortation to First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English Tune Title: HERALD ANGELS

Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE

Stand in awe, and sin not, Bid your heart be still; Thro' the silent watches Think upon His will. 2 Lay upon God's altar Good and loving deeds, And in all things trust Him To supply your needs. Anxious and despairing, Many walk in night; But to those that fear Him God will send His light. 3 In God's love abiding, I have joy and peace More than all the wicked, Tho' their wealth increase. In His care confiding, I will sweetly sleep, For the Lord, my Saviour, Will in safety keep. Scripture: Psalm 4 Languages: English Tune Title: PENITENCE
