Psalm 33 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.73 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Grace and providence First Line: Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord Lyrics: Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, This work belongs to you; Sing of his name, his ways, his word, How holy, just, and true! His mercy and his righteousness Let heav'n and earth proclaim; His works of nature and of grace Reveal his wondrous name. His wisdom and almighty word The heav'nly arches spread, And by the Spirit of the Lord Their shining hosts were made. He bid the liquid waters flow To their appointed deep; The flowing seas their limits know, And their own station keep). Ye tenants of the spacious earth, With fear before him stand He spake, and nature took its birth, And rests on his command. He scorns the angry nations' rage, And breaks their vain designs; His counsel stands through every age, And in full glory shines. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Psalm 33 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.74 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Grace and providence First Line: Blest is the nation where the Lord Lyrics: Blest is the nation where the Lord Hath fixed his gracious throne, Where he reveals his heav'nly word, And calls their tribes his own. His eye with infinite survey Does the whole world behold; He formed us all of equal clay, And knows our feeble mold. Kings are not rescued by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of a horse Can the bold rider save. Vain is the strength of beasts or men, To hope for safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A strong and sure defence. God is their fear, and God their trust; When plagues or famine spread, His watchful eye secures the just Among ten thousand dead. Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice, And trust thy grace alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Justice and truth he ever loves, And the whole earth his goodness proves, His word the heav'nly arches spread: How wide they shine from north to south! And by the spirit of his mouth Were all the starry armies made. He gathers the wide-flowing seas (Those wat'ry treasures know their place) In the vast storehouse of the deep: He spake, and gave all nature birth; And fires, and seas, and heav'n, and earth, His everlasting orders keep. Let mortals tremble and adore A God of such resistless power, Nor dare indulge their feeble rage: Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands; But his eternal counsel stands, And rules the world from age to age.

While Men grow bold in wicked Ways

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36b (1766) Topics: Grace and providence; Praise for providence and grace; Providence and Grace promised Lyrics: 1 While Men grow bold in wicked Ways, And yet a GOD they own, My Heart within me often says, "Their Thoughts believe there's none." 2 Their Thoughts and Ways at once declare (Whate'er their Lips profess) GOD hath no Wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his Grace. 3 What strange Self-flatt'ry blinds their Eyes? But there's a hast'ning Hour, When they shall see with sore Surprize The Terrors of thy Pow'r. 4 Thy Justice shall maintain its Throne, Tho' Mountains melt away; Thy Judgments are a World unknown, A deep unfathom'd Sea. 5 Above these Heav'n's created Rounds, Thy Mercies, Lord, extend: Thy Truth out-lives the narrow Bounds, Where Time and Nature end. 6 Safety to Man thy Goodness brings, Nor overlooks the Beast; Beneath the Shadow of thy Wings Thy Children chuse to rest. 7 [From Thee, when Creature-Streams run low. And mortal Comforts die, Perpetual Springs of Life shall flow, And raise our Pleasures high. 8 Tho' all created Light decay, And Death close up our Eyes, Thy Presence makes eternal Day, Where Clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-9 Languages: English

Kind is the speech of Christ our Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #565 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Grace and providence Lyrics: Kind is the speech of Christ our Lord, Affection sounds in every word: Lo! thou art fair, my love," he cries, "Not the young doves have sweeter eyes." ["Sweet are thy lips, thy pleasing voice Salutes mine ear with secret joys; No spice so much delights the smell, Nor milk nor honey tastes so well.] "Thou art all fair, my bride, to me, I will behold no spot in thee." What mighty wonders love performs, And puts a comeliness on worms! Defiled and loathsome as we are, He makes us white, and calls us fair; Adorns us with that heav'nly dress, His graces and his righteousness. "My sister and my spouse," he cries, "Bound to my heart by various ties, Thy powerful love my heart detains In strong delight and pleasing chains." He calls me from the leopard's den, From this wild world of beasts and men, To Zion, where his glories are; Not Lebanon is half so fair. Nor dens of prey, nor flowery plains, Nor earthly joys, nor earthly pains, Shall hold my feet or force my stay, When Christ invites my soul away. Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:1-11 Languages: English

The wondering world enquires to know

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #567 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Grace and providence Lyrics: The wond'ring world inquires to know Why I should love my Jesus so: What are his charms," say they, "above The objects of a mortal love?" Yes! my Beloved, to my sight Shows a sweet mixture, red and white: All human beauties, all divine, In my Beloved meet and shine. White is his soul, from blemish free; Red with the blood he shed for me; The fairest of ten thousand fairs; A sun amongst ten thousand stars. [His head the finest gold excels; There wisdom in perfection dwells, And glory like a crown adorns Those temples once beset with thorns. Compassions in his heart are found, Hard by the signals of his wound: His sacred side no more shall bear The cruel scourge, the piercing spear.] [His hands are fairer to behold Than diamonds set in rings of gold; Those heav'nly hands, that on the tree Were nailed, and torn, and bled for me! Though once he bowed his feeble knees, Loaded with sins and agonies, Now on the throne of his command His legs like marble pillars stand.] [His eyes are majesty and love, The eagle tempered with the dove; No more shall trickling sorrows roll Through those dear windows of his soul. His mouth, that poured out long complaints, Now smiles and cheers his fainting saints His countenance more graceful is Than Lebanon with all its trees.] All over glorious is my Lord Must be beloved, and yet adored; His worth if all the nations knew, Sure the whole earth would love him too. Scripture: Song of Solomon 5:9-16 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #568 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Grace and providence Lyrics: When strangers stand and hear me tell What beauties in my Savior dwell, Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too.

[In vineyards planted by his hand, Where fruitful trees in order stand; He feeds among the spicy beds, Where lilies show their spotless heads. He has engrossed my warmest love, No earthly charms my soul can move: I have a mansion in his heart, Nor death nor hell shall make us part.] [He takes my soul ere I'm aware, And shows me where his glories are; No chariot of Amminadib The heav'nly rapture can describe. O may my spirit daily rise On wings of faith above the skies, Till death shall make my last remove, To dwell for ever with my Love.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:1-3 Languages: English

Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.85 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Grace and providence; Praise for providence and grace; Providence and grace First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, Nor fear before his eyes. [He walks awhile concealed In a self-flatt'ring dream, Till his dark crimes at once revealed Expose his hateful name.] His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banished from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil He sets his heart, and hand, and head, To practise all that's ill. But there's a dreadful God, Though men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. His truth transcends the sky, In heav'n his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! O never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 Languages: English
