Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #191a (1786) Topics: Intemperance and pardoned; Intemperance and pardoned First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent 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 powers 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 frighten'd 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 sovereign word, and heals.
6 Oh may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
And let their thankful offering prove
How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Intemperance, like a raging flood
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #969 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ravages of Intemperance Lyrics: 1 Intemp'rance, like a raging flood,
Is sweeping o'er the land;
Its dire effects, in tears and blood,
Are traced on every hand.
2 It still flows on, and bears away
Ten thousands to their doom:
Who shall the mighty torrent stay,
And disappoint the tomb?
3 Almighty God! no hand but thine
Can check the flowing tide;
Stretch out thine arm of power divine,
And bid the flood subside.
4 Dry up the source from whence it flows,
Destroy its fountain-head:
That dire Intemp'rance and its woes
No more the earth o'erspread.

The evils of intemperance
The Punishment of Luxury and Intemperance;or, Chastisement and Salvation
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #140 (1740) Topics: Intemperance punished First Line: When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves
And fills their Hearts with Dread;
Yet he forgives the Men he loves,
And sends them heav'nly Bread.
2 He fed them with a lib'ral Hand,
And made his Treasures known;
He gave the Midnight Clouds command
To pour Provision down.
3 The Manna, like a Morning Show'r,
Lay thick around their Feet;
The Corn of Heav'n, so light, so pure,
As though 'twere Angels Meat.
4 But they in murm'ring Language said,
"Manna is all our Feast;
"We loath 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 'em Quails, like Sand or Dust,
Heap'd up from Side to Side.
6 He gave 'em 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.

My rock, my tower, my high defence;
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
2 Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptation rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
3 I saw the opening gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
(Which none but they that feel can tell)
While I was hurry'd to despair.
4 In my distress I call'd my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine;
He bow'd his ear to my complaint;
And prov'd his saving grace divine.
5 [With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub’s wing he rode;
Awful, and bright as lightening, shone
The face of my deliverer God.
6 Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his Almighty breath:
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.]
7 Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.

That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord
Due to his mercy and his power. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-9 Languages: English
