Why did the Nations join to slay
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #5 (1740) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 Why did the Nations join to slay
The Lord's anointed Son?
Why did they cast his Laws away,
And tread his Gospel down?
2 The Lord that sits above the Skies,
Derides their Rage below,
He speaks with Vengeance in his Eyes,
And strikes their Spirits through.
3 "I call him my Eternal Son,
"And raise him from the Dead;
"I make my holy Hill his Throne,
"And wide his Kingdom spread.
4 "Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy
"The utmost Heathen Lands:
"Thy Rod of Iron shall destroy
"The Rebel that withstands."
5 Be wise, ye Rulers of the Earth,
Obey th' Anointed Lord,
Adore the King of heav'nly Birth,
And tremble at his Word.
6 With humble Love address his Throne;
For if he frown, ye die:
Those are secure, and those alone,
Who on his Grace rely. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English
Why did the Nations join to slay
Why has my God my Soul forsook
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P22a (1766) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 Why has my God my Soul forsook,
Nor will a Smile afford?
(Thus David once in Anguish spoke,
And thus our dying Lord.)
2 Though 'tis thy chief Delight to dwell
Among thy praising Saints,
Yet thou canst hear a Groan as well,
And pity our Complaints.
3 Our Fathers trusted in thy Name,
And great Deliv'rance found;
But I'm a Worm despis'd of Men,
And trodden to the Ground.
4 Shaking the Head they pass me by,
And laugh my Soul to Scorn;
"In vain he trusts in God, they cry,
"Neglected and forlorn."
5 But thou art He who form'd my Flesh,
By thine Almighty Word,
And since I hung upon the Breast,
My Hope is in the Lord.
6 Why will my Father hide his Face
When Foes stand threat'ning round
In the dark Hour of deep Distress,
And not an Helper found?
Pause.
7 Behold thy Darling left among
The Cruel and the Proud,
As Bulls of Bashan fierce and strong,
As Lions roaring loud.
8 From Earth and Hell my Sorrows meet
To multiply the Smart;
They nail my Hands, they pierce my Feet,
And try to vex my Heart.
9 Yet if thy Sov'reign Hand let loose
The Rage of Earth and Hell,
Why will my heav'nly Father bruise
The Son he loves so well?
10 My GOD, if possible it be,
With-hold this bitter Cup:
But I resign my Will to Thee,
And drink the Sorrows up.
11 My Heart dissolves with Pangs unknown,
In Groans I waste my Breath;
Thy heavy Hand has brought me down
Low as the Dust of Death.
12 Father, I give my Spirit up,
And trust it in thy Hand;
My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope,
And rise at thy Command. Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16 Languages: English
Why has my God my Soul forsook
Now let our mournful Songs record
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P22c (1766) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 Now let our mournful Songs record
The dying Sorrows of our Lord,
When he complain'd in Tears and Blood,
As one forsaken of his GOD.
2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn,
And shake their Heads and laugh in Scorn:
"He rescu'd others from the Grave;
"Now let him try himself to save.
3 "This is the Man did once pretend
"GOD was his Father and his Friend;
"If GOD the Blessed lov'd him so,
"Why doth he fail to help him now?"
4 Barbarous People! Cruel Priests!
How they stood round like savage Beasts;
Like Lions gaping to devour,
When God had left him in their Pow'r.
5 They wound his Head, his Hands, his Feet,
Till Streams of Blood each other meet;
By Lot his Garments they divide,
And mock the Pangs in which he dy'd.
6 But GOD his Father heard his Cry;
Rais'd from the Dead he reigns on high;
The Nations learn his Righteousness,
And humble Sinners taste his Grace. Scripture: Psalm 22 Languages: English
Now let our mournful Songs record
David rejoic'd in God his Strength
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P21b (1766) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 David rejoic'd in God his Strength,
Rais'd to the throne by special Grace,
But Christ the Son appears at length,
Fulfils the Triumph and the Praise.
2 How great is the Messiah's Joy
In the Salvation of thy Hand!
Lord, thou hast rais'd his Kingdom high,
And giv'n the World to his Command.
3 Thy Goodness grants whate'er he will,
Nor doth the least Request with-hold:
Blessings of Love prevent him still,
And Crowns of Glory, not of Gold.
4 Honour and Majesty divine
Around his sacred Temple shine;
Blest with the Favour of thy Face,
And Length of everlasting Days.
5 Thine Hand shall find out all his Foes;
And as a fiery Oven glows
With raging Heat and living Coals,
So shall thy Wrath devour their Souls.
Scripture: Psalm 21:1-9 Languages: English
David rejoic'd in God his Strength
The King, O Lord, with Songs of Praise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P21a (1766) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 The King, O Lord, with Songs of Praise,
Shall in thy Strength rejoice,
And, blest with thy Salvation, raise
To Heav'n his chearful Voice.
2 The sure Defence thro' Nations round
Has spread his glorious Name;
And his successful Actions crown'd
With Majesty and Fame.
3 Then let the King on GOD alone
For timely Aid rely;
His Mercy shall support the Throne,
And all our Wants supply.
4 But, righteous Lord, his stubborn Foes
Shall feel thy dreadful Hand;
Thy vengeful Arm shall find out those,
That hate his mild Command.
5 When thou against them dost engage,
Thy just, but dreadful Doom
Shall, like a fiery Oven's Rage,
Their Hopes and them consume.
6 Thus, Lord, thy wond'rous Power declare,
And thus exalt thy Fame;
While we glad Songs of Praise prepare
For thine Almighty Name. Scripture: Psalm 21 Languages: English
