O what a stiff rebellious House
Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Isreal Rebellion and Punishment Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House
Was Jacob's ancient Race!
False to their own most solemn Vows,
And to their Maker's Grace.
2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love,
And did his Laws despise;
Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove
His Pow'r before their Eyes.
3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light
From his revenging 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 watry Walls to guard their Way,
'Till they had 'scaped the Foe.
5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road,
Compos'd of Shade and Light;
By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud,
A leading Fire by Night.
6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd
The gushing Waters fell,
And ran in Rivers by their Side,
A constant Miracle.
7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High,
And dar'd distrust his Hand:
"Can he with Bread our Host supply
"Amidst this desart Land?"
8 The Lord with Indignation heard,
And caus'd his Wrath to flame;
His Terrors ever stand prepar'd
To vindicate his Name.
O what a stiff rebellious House
When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand
Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand,
Left the proud Tyrant, and his Land,
The Tribes with chearful Homage own
Their King, and Judah was his Throne.
2 Across the Deep their Journey lay;
The Deep divides to make them Way;
Jordan beheld their March, and fled
With backward Current to his Head.
3 The Mountains shook like frighted Sheep,
Like Lambs the little Hillocks leap!
Not Sinai on her Base could stand,
Conscious of sov'reign Pow'r at Hand.
4 What Pow'r could make the Deep divide?
Make Jordan backward roll his Tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little Hills?
And whence the Fright that Sinai feels?
5 Let ev'ry Mountain, ev'ry Flood,
Retire and know th' approaching GOD,
The King of Isr'el: see him here:
Tremble thou Earth, adore and fear.
6 He thunders, and all Nature mourns,
The Rock to standing Pools he turns;
Flints spring with Fountains at his Word,
And Fires and Seas confess the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 114
When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand
Israel punish'd and pardon'd; or, God's unchangeable Love
Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned First Line: God of eternal Love Lyrics: 1 God of eternal Love,
How fickle are our Ways!
And yet how oft did Isr'el prove
Thy constancy of Grace!
2 They saw thy Wonders wrought,
And then thy Praise they sung;
But soon thy Works of Pow'r forgot,
And murmur'd with their Tongue.
3 Now they believe his Word
While Rocks with Rivers flow;
Now with their Lusts provoke the Lord,
And he reduc'd them low.
4 Yet when they mourn'd their Faults,
He hearken'd to their Groans,
Brought his own Cov'nant to his Thoughts,
And call'd 'em still his Sons.
5 Their Names were in his Book,
He sav'd 'em from their Foes
Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook
The People that he chose.
6 Let Isr'el bless the Lord,
Who lov'd their ancient Race:
And Christians join the solemn Word,
Amen, to all the Praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:7-8
Israel punish'd and pardon'd; or, God's unchangeable Love
Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107a (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above,
Kind are his Thoughts, his Name is Love;
His Mercy Ages past have known,
And Ages long to come shall own.
2 Let the Redeemed of the Lord
The Wonders of his Grace record;
Isr'el, the Nation whom he chose,
And rescu'd from their mighty Foes.
3 [When GOD's Almighty Arm had broke
Their Fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke,
They trac'd the Desart, wand'ring round
A wild and solitary Ground!
4 There they could find no leading Road,
Nor City for a fix'd Abode;
Nor Food nor Fountain to asswage
Their burning Thirst or Hunger's Rage.]
5 In their Distress to GOD they cry'd;
GOD was their Saviour and their Guide;
He led their March far wand'ring round;
'Twas the right Path to Canaan's Ground.
6 Thus when our first Release we gain
From Sin's old Yoke, and Satan's Chain,
We have this desert World to pass,
A dangerous and a tiresome Place.
7 He feeds and clothes us all the Way,
He guides our Footsteps, lest we stray;
He guards us with a pow'rful Hand,
And brings us to the heav'nly Land.
8 O let the Saints with joy record
The Truth and Goodness of the Lord!
How great his Works! how kind his Ways!
Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above
From Age to Age exalt his Name
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107b (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 From Age to Age exalt his Name,
GOD and his Grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry Soul with Food,
And feeds the Poor with ev'ry Good.
2 But if their Hearts rebel and rise
Against the GOD that rules the Skies,
If they reject his heav'nly Word,
And slight the Counsels of the Lord;
3 He'll bring their Spirits to the Ground,
And no Deliv'rer shall be found;
Laden with Grief they waste their Breath
In Darkness and the Shades of Death.
4 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries,
He makes the dawning Light arise,
And scatters all that dismal Shade
That hung so heavy round their Head.
5 He cuts the Bars of Brass in two,
And lets the smiling Pris'ners through,
Takes off the Load of Guilt and Grief,
And gives the lab'ring Soul Relief.
6 O may the Sons of Men record
The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord;
How great his Works! how kind his Ways!
Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
From Age to Age exalt his Name
Vain Man on foolish Pleasures bent
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107c (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 Vain Man, on foolish Pleasures bent,
Prepares for his own Punishment;
What Pains, what loathsome Maladies
From Luxury and Lust arise!
2 The Drunkard feels his Vitals waste;
Yet drowns his Health to please his Taste;
Till all his active Pow'rs are lost,
And fainting Life draws near the Dust.
3 The Glutton groans, and loaths to eat,
His Soul abhors delicious Meat;
Nature, with heavy Loads opprest,
Would yield to death to be releas'd.
4 Then how the frighted Sinners fly
To GOD for Help with earnest Cry!
He hears their Groans, prolongs their Breath,
And saves them from approaching Death.
5 No Med'cines could effect the Cure
So quick, so easy, or so sure;
The deadly Sentence GOD repeals,
He sends his sov'reign Word and heals.
6 O may the Sons of Men record
The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord!
And let their thankful Off'rings prove
How they adore their Maker's Love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
Vain Man on foolish Pleasures bent
