To GOD the great, the ever-blest

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P106a (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned Lyrics: 1 To GOD, the great, the ever-blest, Let Songs of Honour be addrest; His Mercy firm for ever stands; Give him the Thanks his Love demands. 2 Who knows the Wonders of thy Ways? Who shall fulfil thy boundless Praise? Blest are the Souls that fear Thee still, And pay their Duty to thy Will. 3 Remember what thy Mercy did For Jacob's Race, thy chosen Seed; And with the same Salvation bless The meanest Suppliant of thy Grace. 4 O may I see thy Tribes rejoice, And aid their Triumphs with my Voice! This is my Glory, Lord, to be Join'd to thy Saints, and near to Thee. Scripture: Psalm 106:1-5 Languages: English

God of eternal Love

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P106b (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned 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 106:43-48 Languages: English

When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P114 (1766) 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 Languages: English

Scripture: Psalm 134 Languages: English

Israel saved, and the Assyrians destroyed; or, GOD's Vengenace against his Enemies proceeds from his Church

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #135 (1740) Topics: Isreal saved from the Assyrians First Line: In Judah, GOD of old was known Lyrics: 1 In Judah, GOD of old was known; His Name in Isr'el great; In Salem stood his holy Throne, And Sion was his Seat. 2 Among the Praises of his Saints His Dwelling there he chose; There he receiv'd their just Complaints Against their haughty Foes. 3 From Sion went his dreadful Word, And broke the threat'ning Spear, The Bow, the Arrow, and the Sword, And crush'd th' Assyrian war. 4 What are the Earth's wide Kingdoms else But mighty Hills of Prey; The Hill on which Jehovah dwells, Is glorious more than they. 5 'Twas Sion's King that stopp'd the Breath Of Captains and their Bands; The Men of Might slept fast in Death, And never found their Hands. 6 At thy Rebuke, O Jacob's GOD, Both Horse and Chariot fell: Who knows the Terrors of thy Rod? Thy Vengeance who can tell? 7 What Pow'r can stand before thy Sight, When once thy Wrath appears? When Heav'n shines round with dreadful Light, The Earth lies still and fears. 8 When GOD, in his own sov'reign Ways Comes down to save th' Opprest, The Wrath of Man shall work his Praise, And he'll restrain the rest. 7 [Vow to the Lord, and Tribute bring, Ye Princes, fear his frown; His Terror shakes the proudest King, And cuts an Army down. 10 The Thunder of his sharp Rebuke Our haughty Foes shall feel; For Jacob's GOD hath not forsook But dwells in Sion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English

Great is the Lord, exalted high

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P135b (1766) Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high Above all Pow'rs, and every Throne; Whate'er he please in Earth or Sea, Or Heav'n, or Hell, his Hand hath done. 2 At his Command the Vapours rise, The Lightnings flash, the Thunders roar; He pours the Rain, he brings the Wind And Tempest from his airy Store. 3 'Twas he those dreadful Tokens sent, O Egypt, through thy stubborn Land; When all thy first-born, Beasts and Men, Fell dead by his avenging Hand. 4 What mighty Nations, mighty Kings, He slew, and their whole Country gave To Isr'el, whom his Hand redeem'd, No more to be proud Pharaoh's Slave! 5 His Pow'r the same, the same his Grace, That saves us from the Hosts of Hell; And Heav'n he gives us to possess, Whence those apostate Angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12 Languages: English

Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P135c (1766) Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King Your sweetest Passions raise, Your pious Pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the Praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and Works unknown Are his divine Employ; But still his Saints are near his Throne, His Treasure and his Joy. 3 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea confess his Hand; He bids the Vapours rise; Lightning and Storm at his Command Sweep through the sounding Skies. 4 All Pow'r that Gods or Kings have claim'd Is found with him alone; But Heathen Gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the Stocks or Stones they trust Can give them Show'rs of Rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their Eyes, their Ears are deaf, Nor hear when Mortals pray; Mortals, that wait for their Relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O, Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there. Scripture: Psalm 135 Languages: English

Melancholy assaulting, and Hope prevailing

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #136 (1740) Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan First Line: To GOD I cry'd with mournful Voice Lyrics: 1 To GOD I cry'd with mournful Voice, I sought his gracious Ear, In the sad Day, when Troubles rose, And filled the Night with Fear. 2 Sad were my Days, and dark my Nights, My Soul refus'd Relief; I thought on GOD the Just and Wise, But Thoughts increas'd my Grief. 3 Still I complain'd, and still opprest, My Heart began to break; My GOD, thy Wrath forbad my Rest, And kept my Eyes awake. 4 My overwhelming Sorrows grew, Till I could speak no more; Then I within myself withdrew, And call'd thy Judgments o'er. 5 I call'd back Years and ancient Times When I beheld thy Face; My Spirit search'd for secret Crimes That might with-hold thy Grace. 6 I call'd thy Mercies to my Mind Which I enjoy'd before; And will the Lord no more be kind? His Face appear no more? 7 Will he for ever cast me off? His Promise ever fail? Has he forgot his tender Love? Shall Anger still prevail? 8 But I forbid this hopeless Thought; This dark despairing Frame, Rememb'ring what thy Hand hath wrought; Thy Hand is still the same. 9 I'll think again of all thy Ways, And talk thy Wonders o'er; Thy Wonders of recov'ring Grace, When Flesh could hope no more. 10 Grace dwells with Justice on the Throne; And Men that love thy Word Have in thy Sanctuary known The Counsels of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English

And thence with Joy his People led; How gracious is our GOD! 5 He cleft the swelling Sea in two; His Arm is great in Might; And gave the Tribes a Passage through; His Pow'r and Grace unite. 6 But Pharaoh's Army there he drown'd; How glorious are his Ways! And brought his Saints through desart Ground; Eternal be his Praise! 7 Great Monarchs fell beneath his Hand; Victorious is his Sword; While Isr'el took the promis'd Land; And faithful is his Word.] 8 He saw the Nations dead in Sin; He felt his Pity move: How sad the State the World was in; How boundless was his Love! 9 He sent to save us from our Woe; His Goodness never fails; From Death, and Hell, and every Foe; And still his Grace prevails. 10 Give Thanks to GOD the heav'nly King; His Mercies still endure; Let the whole Earth his Praises sing; His Truth is ever sure. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English
