Prayer and Praise for eminent Deliverance

Ye humble souls that use to pray, Come, help my lips to praise. 2 Sing to the honuor of his name, How a poor sufferer cried, Nor was his hope expos'd to shame, Nor was his suit denied. 3 When threatening sorrows round me stood, And endless fears arose, Like the loud billows of a flood, Redoubling all my woes. 4 I told the Lord my sore distress, With heavy groans and tears; He gave my sharpest torments ease, And silenc'd all my fears. Pause. 5 [Oh sinners, come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways, And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. 6 He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell; What ills their heavenly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] 7 [Oh love the Lord, ye saints of his; His eye regards the just. How richly bless'd their portion is, Who make the Lord their trust! 8 Young lions pinch'd with hunger roar, And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #167 (1740) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them; Instructive Affliction First Line: O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs Lyrics: 1 O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs, Proclaim thy Wrath aloud; Let sov'reign Pow'r redress our Wrongs, Let Justice smite the Proud. 2 They say, The Lord nor sees nor hears; When will the Fools be wise? Can he be deaf, who form'd their Ears? Or blind, who made their Eyes? 3 He knows their impious Thoughts are vain, And they shall feel his Pow'r; His Wrath shall pierce their Souls with Pain In some surprising Hour. 4 But if thy Saints deserve Rebuke, Thou hast a gentler Rod; Thy Providences and thy Book Shall make them know their GOD. 5 Blest is the Man thy Hands chastise, And to his Duty draw; Thy Scourges make thy Children wise When they forget thy Law. 6 But GOD will ne'er cast off his Saints, Nor his own Promise break; He pardons his Inheritance For their Redeemer's Sake.
