Why do the wealthy Wicked boast

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P37b (1766) Topics: Reproach removed Lyrics: 1 Why do the wealthy Wicked boast, And grow profanely bold? The meanest Portion of the Just Excels the Sinner's Gold. 2 The Wicked borrows of his Friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The Saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the Poor away. 3 His Alms with lib'ral Heart he gives Amongst the Sons of Need; His Mem'ry to long Ages lives, And blessed is his Seed. 4 His Lips abhor to talk prophane, To slander or defraud; His ready Tongue declares to Men What he has learn'd of GOD. 5 The Law and Gospel of the Lord Deep in his Heart abide; Led by the Spirit, and the Word, His Feet shall never slide. 6 When Sinners fall, the Righteous stand, Preserv'd from ev'ry Snare; They shall possess the promis'd Land, And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16-31 Languages: English

My GOD, the Steps of pious Men

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P37c (1766) Topics: Reproach removed Lyrics: 1 My GOD, the Steps of pious Men Are order'd by thy Will; Tho' they should fall, they rise again, Thy Hand supports them still. 2 The Lord delights to see their Ways, Their Virtue he approves; He'll ne'er deprive them of his Grace, Nor leave the Man he loves. 3 The heav'nly Heritage is theirs, Their Portion and their Home; He feeds them now, and makes them Heirs Of Blessings long to come. 4 Wait on the Lord, ye Sons of Men, Nor fear when Tyrants frown; Ye shall confess their Pride was vain, When Justice casts them down. Pause. 5 The haughty Sinner have I seen, Nor fearing Man nor God, Like a tall Bay-Tree fair and green, Spreading his Arms abroad. 6 And, lo! he vanish'd from the Ground, Destroy'd by Hands unseen; Nor Root, nor Branch, nor Leaf was found Where all that Pride had been. 7 But mark the Man of Righteousness, His sev'ral Steps attend; True Pleasure runs thro' all his Ways, And peaceful is his End. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37 Languages: English

Pause. 5 [’Twas in my Haste my Spirit said, "I must despair and die, "I am cut off before thine Eyes; But thou hast heard my Cry.] 6 Thy Goodness how divinely free, How wond'rous is thy Grace To those that fear thy Majesty, And trust thy Promises! 7 O love the Lord, all ye his Saints, And sing his Praises loud; He’ll bend his Ear to your Complaints, And recompense the Proud.

Or envy Sinners waxing great By Violence and Lies. 2 As flowery Grass cut down at Noon, Before the Evening fades, So shall their Glories vanish soon In everlasting Shades. 3 Then let me make the Lord my Trust, And practise all that's good; So shall I dwell among the Just, And he'll provide me Food. 4 I to my GOD my Ways commit, And chearful wait his Will; Thy Hand, which guides my doubtful Feet, Shall my Desires fulfil. 5 Mine Innocence shalt thou display, And make thy Judgments known, Fair as the Light of dawning Day, And glorious as the Noon. 6 The Meek at last the Earth possess, And are the Heirs of Heav'n; True Riches, with abundant Peace, To humble Souls are giv'n. Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his Way, Nor let your Anger rise, Tho' Providence should long delay To punish haughty Vice. 8 Let Sinners join to break your Peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their Day of Vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threat'ning Sword, Have bent the murd'rous Bow, To slay the Men that fear the Lord, And bring the Righteous low. 10 My GOD shall break their Bows, and burn Their persecuting Darts, Shall their own Swords against them turn, And Pain surprize their Hearts.

Thou whom my soul admires above

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #559 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Reproach removed Lyrics: Thou whom my soul admires above All earthly joy and earthly love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know, Where doth thy sweetest pasture grow? Where is the shadow of that rock, That from the sun defends thy flock? Fain would I feed among thy sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. Why should thy bride appear like one That turns aside to paths unknown? My constant feet would never rove, Would never seek another love. [The footsteps of thy flock I see; Thy sweetest pastures here they be; A wondrous feast thy love prepares, Bought with thy wounds, and groans, and tears. His dearest flesh he makes my food, And bids me drink his richest blood: Here to these hills my soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:7 Languages: English

Beneath his cooling shade I sat, To shield me from the burning heat; Of heav'ly fruit he spreads a feast, To feed mine eyes and please my taste. [Kindly he brought me to the place Where stands the banquet of his grace; He saw me faint, and o'er my head The banner of his love he spread. With living bread and gen'rous wine, He cheers this sinking heart of mine; And op'ning his own heart to me, He shows his thoughts how kind they be.] O never let my Lord depart; Lie down, and rest upon my heart; I charge my sins not once to move, Nor stir, nor wake, nor grieve my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1-4 Languages: English

Behold thy heav'nly captain's here, Before thee in the van. 5 O how my soul would up and run, At this reviving word; Nor any painful suff'rings shun, To follow thee, my Lord. 6 Let sinful men reproach, defame, And call we what they will; If I may glorify thy name, And be thy servant still.
