And Nations round to quell,
And fix where we must dwell,
The Pride of Jacob, his Delight.

With Shouts and Trumpets sound:
To him loud Praises sing,
And let the Song go round;

Your utmost Skill be shewn;
Who from his righteous Throne,
Extends his Sway o'er Heathen Lands.

The Lord himself is King
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XCVII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the coming of the Savior Lyrics: 1 The LORD himself is King,
O let the Earth rejoice;
Yea, let the Isles be glad
And shout with chearful Voice:
Darkness and awful Clouds,
His Glory shroud in State;
Judgment and Righteousness,
As close Attendants wait,
At his Pavillion Gate.
2 Before him raging Flames,
His Foes with Vengeance struck,
His Lightnings shone Abroad,
And Earth with Terror shook:
The Hills with one Accord,
Like Wax before him melt;
Their Heights no Help afford,
In Presence of the LORD.
3 The Heav'ns, his Truth to show,
With Fire his Foes pursu'd:
The trembling World below,
His awful Glory view'd.
Confounded be their Host,
Who worship Day be Day
Carv'd Idols, made with Hands;
Ye Gods to whom they pray,
To him your Homage pay.
4 Sion thy Triumph heard,
And Judah was o'erjoy'd;
Because thy Judgments, LORD,
Have Pagan Pride destroy'd:
For thou art seated high,
On thy exalted Throne,
Unrival'd in the Sky,
Both Earth and Heaav'n shall own,
That thou art GOD alone.
5 All ye who love the LORD,
Hate Sin, and Truth esteem;
He will from wicked Men,
His Servant's Soul redeem:
A glorious Light springs up,
And Joy the Just shall bless;
Ye Righteous praise the LORD,
With thankful tongues confess,
His Truth and Holiness. Scripture: Psalm 97 Languages: English Tune Title: [The Lord himself is King]

Thou, LORD, by strictest Search hast known
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXIX (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God his Majesty and Attributes Lyrics: 1 Thou, LORD, by strictest Search hast known
My rising up and lying down;
My secret Thoughts are known to thee,
Known long before conceiv'd by me.
2 Thine Eye my Bed and Path surveys,
My public Haunts and private Ways;
Thou know'st what 'tis my Lips would vent,
My yet unutter'd Words' Intent.
3 Surrounded by thy Pow'r I stand,
On every Side I find thy Hand;
O Skill, for human Reach too high!
Too dazzling bright for mortal Eye!
4 O, could I so perfidious be,
To think of once deserting thee;
Where, LORD, could I thy Influence shun,
Or whither from thy Presence run?
5 If up to Heav'n I take my Flight,
'Tis there thou dwell'st enthron'd in Light,
If down to Hell's infernal Plains,
'Tis there Almighty Vengeance reigns.
6 If I the Morning's Wings could gain,
And fly beyond the Western Main;
Thy swifter Hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy Fugitive.
7 Or should I try to shun thy Sight
Beneath the sable Clouds of Night;
One Glance from thee, on piercing Ray
Would kindle Darkness into Day.
8 The Veil of Night is no Disguise,
No Screen from thy all-searching Eyes;
Thro' Midnight Shades thou find'st thy Way,
As in the blazing Noon of Day.
9 Thou know'st the Texture of my Heart,
My Reins and ev'ry vital Part;
Each single Thread in Nature's Loom,
By thee was cover'd in the Womb.
10 I'll praise thee, from whose Hands I came,
A Work of such a curious Frame;
The Wonders thou in me hast shown,
My Soul with grateful Joy must own.
11 Thine Eyes my Substance did survey,
Whilst yet a lifeless Mass it lay,
In secret; how exactly wrought,
Ere from its dark Enclosure brought.
12 Thou didst the shapeless Embryo see,
Its Parts were register'd by thee;
Thou saw'st the daily Growth they took,
Form'd by the Model of thy Book.
13 Let me acknowledge too, O GOD!
That since this Maze of Life I trod,
Thy Thoughts of Love to me, surmount
The Pow'r of Numbers to recount.
14 Far sooner could I reckon o'er
The Sands upon the Ocean's Shore:
Each Morn revising what I've done,
I find th' Account but new begun.
15 The Wicked thou shalt slay, O GOD!
Depart from me, ye Men of Blood,
Whose Tongues Heav'n's Majesty profane,
And take th' Almighty's Name in vain.
16 LORD, hate not I their impious Crew,
Who thee with Enmity pursue?
And does not Grief my Heart oppress,
When Reprobates thy Law transgress?
17 Who practise Enmity to Thee,
Shall utmost Hatred have from me;
Such Men I utterly detest,
As if they were my Foes profess'd.
18 Search, try, O GOD, my Thoughts and Heart,
If Mischief lurks in any Part;
Correct me, whem I go astray,
And guide me in thy perfect Way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou, Lord, by strictest Search hast known]
Thou, LORD, by strictest Search hast known
The Fullness which the World affords
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXIV (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God On bringing up the Ark to the Place prepared for it Lyrics: 1 The Fullness which the World affords,
The Earth and People are the LORD's;
By him assign'd their Habitation:
Establish'd on teh Seas it stands,
The Floods by his Almighty Hands,
For ever fixt a sure Foundation.
2 Oh! who shall to that Hill ascend,
And low before thy Footstool bend;
Where thou, O LORD, hast chose thy Dwelling?
The Man whose Hands and Heart are free,
From Blood, Deceit and Perjury.
The Man in Purity excelling.
3 This is the Man, to whom the LORD,
His saving Blessings will afford;
And whom he'll crown with his Salvation;
by such alone his Courts are trod,
Who seeks the Face of Jacob's GOD;
The happy chosen Generation.
4 Erect your Head, O Zion's Gate!
Unfold to entertain in State,
Receive your King in Might abounding,
Who is this King of Glory, who?
'Tis he who triumphs o'er the foe,
Their Ranks and Ruin wide confounding.
5 Lift up your Heads, ye Gates unfold!
Eternal Gates, ye Doors of old,
Receive your King, for Might renowned.
Say, who that glorious King can be?
Behold! the Lord of Hosts is he,
The GOD who comes with Glory crowned.
Scripture: Psalm 24 Languages: English Tune Title: [The fullness which the world affords]

The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, LORD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XIX (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, LORD,
Which that, and that alone can fill;
The Firmament and Stars express
their great Creator's wond'rous Skill:
Each Dawn fresh Beams of Knowledge brings,
From ev'ry Night Instruction springs.
2 Their pow'rful Language to no Space,
Or Realm, or Region is confin'd;
'Tis Nature's universal Voice,
And understood by all Mankind:
The Sun their Doctrines doth display,
Where-e'er he darts his genial Ray.
3 No Bridegroom for his Nuptials dress'd,
Can shew a more enliven'd Face;
No Giant does like him rejoice,
To run with Strength his glorious Race;
In one unwearied Round he goes,
And Light and Heat on all bestows.

4 GOD's perfect Law converts the Soul,
Reclaims the Heart from false Desires;
With sacred Wisdom his pure Word
The Weak and Ignorant inspires;
The Statutes bring sincere Delight;
His Word assists the feeblest Sight.
5 The Fear of GOD most perfect is,
And shall for evermore endure;
The Judgments of the LORD are true,
Most just and altogether pure;
More precious than fine Gold they are,
And sweeter than the Honey far.
6 My trusty Counsellors they are,
To me they friendly Warnings give:
Divine Rewards attend on those,
Who by thy Precepts live.
But who can all his Errors see?
From secret Faults, LORD, cleanse thou me!
7 Let no presumptuous Sin, O LORD!
Obtain Dominion over me;
That, by thy Grace preserv'd, I may
Far from the great Transgression flee;
So shall my Pray'r by thee be bless'd,
And I in GOD my Saviour rest. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: [The heavens declare thy glory, Lord]
The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, LORD
The wicked Man's Transgression proves
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXVI (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 The wicked Man's Transgression proves,
He fears not GOD, but Falshood loves;
Mischievous Arts conceiving;
The crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Lies,
His cursed Purpose would disguise,
In him there's no believing:
But his dark Plots expos'd to Shame,
Shall shew his Friendship's but a Name,
Whate'er is his Profession;
His wakeful Malice spends the Night,
In forging his accursed Spite,
In Schemes of great Oppression.
But Reason whispers to my Heart,
No Fear of God's before his Eyes.
2 But, LORD, thy Mercy's, my sure Hope,
Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope,
Beyond the Skies extending;
Thy Justice like the Hills remains,
Thy Providence the World sustains,
All Things on thee depending.
Since of thy Goodness all partake,
Thy shelt'ring Wings the Saints shall make,
A Refuge for protection.
Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led,
And drink as from a Fountain Head,
Of Joys, in full Perfection.
3 Thy Presence is eternal Day,
To upright Hearts, O LORD! display,
Thy Truth's invalued Treasure;
Oh! let thy Saints thy Favour gain!
With thee the Springs of Life remain,
The Springs of Joy and Pleasure.
Whilst they, at me, insulting spurn,
Their Mischiefs on themselves return,
For thou hast me protected:
My harmless Life they would surprize,
But down they're fall'n no more to rise,
By all Mankind rejected.
Scripture: Psalm 36 Languages: English Tune Title: [The wicked man's transgression proves]
The wicked Man's Transgression proves
