The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or Practical Atheism exposed

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #71 (1787) Topics: Flattery and Deceit complained of; Flattery and Deceit complained of First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, "Nor fear before his eyes. 2 [He walks awhile conceal'd In a self-flattering dream, Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd, Expose his hateful name.] 3 His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. 4 He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil; He sets his heart, and hand, and head To practise all that's ill. 5 But there's a dreadful God, Tho' men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. 6 His truth transcends the sky, In heaven his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgements lie, His anger burns to hell. 7 How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! Oh never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 Languages: English

Psalm 12

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.23 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Flattery and deceit complained of First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear, Virtue and truth will fly away; A faithful man amongst us here Will scarce be found, if thou delay. The whole discourse, when neighbors meet, Is filled with trifles loose and vain; Their lips are flattery and deceit, And their proud language is profane. But lips that with deceit abound Shall not maintain their triumph long; The God of vengeance will confound The flattering and blaspheming tongue. "Yet shall our words be free," they cry; "Our tongues shall be controlled by none: Where is the Lord will ask us why? Or say our lips are not our own?" The Lord, who sees the poor oppressed, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. Thy word, O Lord, though often tried, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, sev'n times purified From dross and mixture, shines so clear. Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the holy soul from harm; Though when the vilest men have power, On every side will sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Their oaths and promises they break, Yet act the flatterer's part; With fair, deceitful lips they speak, And with a double heart. If we reprove some hateful lie, How is their fury stirred "Are not our lips our own?" they cry; "And who shall be our Lord?" Scoffers appear on every side, Where a vile race of men Is raised to seats of power and pride, And bears the sword in vain. Lord, when iniquities abound, And blasphemy grows bold; When faith is hardly to be found, And love is waxing cold; Is not thy chariot hast'ning on? Hast thou not giv'n this sign? May we not trust and live upon A promise so divine? "Yes," saith the Lord, "now will I rise, And make oppressors flee; I shall appear to their surprise, And set my servants free." Thy word, like silver sev'n times tried, Through ages shall endure; The men that in thy truth confide Shall find the promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. My God! how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort springs! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wings. From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 Languages: English

Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.84 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Flattery and deceit complained of First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: While men grow bold in wicked ways, And yet a God they own, My heart within me often says, "Their thoughts believe there's none." Their thoughts and ways at once declare, Whate'er their lips profess, God hath no wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his grace. What strange self-flatt'ry blinds their eyes! But there's a hast'ning hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power. Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgments are a world unknown, A deep, unfathomed sea. Above the heav'ns' created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds Where time and nature end. Safety to man thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy children choose to rest. [From thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day, Where clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-2 Languages: English
