Psalm 112
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.247 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: Happy is he that fears the Lord Lyrics:
Happy is he that fears the Lord,
And follows his commands;
Who lends the poor without reward,
Or gives with lib'ral hands.
As pity dwells within his breast
To all the sons of need;
So God shall answer his request
With blessings on his seed.
No evil tidings shall surprise
His well-established mind;
His soul to God his refuge flies,
And leaves his fears behind.
In times of general distress
Some beams of light shall shine,
To show the world his righteousness,
And give him peace divine.
His works of piety and love
Remain before the Lord;
Honor on earth and joys above
Shall be his sure reward.

Psalm 112
Father of mercy! hear our pray'r
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #H.XXVIII (1792) Topics: Charity to the Poor Lyrics: 1 Father of mercy! hear our pray'r,
For those who aid us now,
Who ease our want, and sooth our care,
And teach us thee to know.
2 Each heart and hand that lends us aid,
Thou dost inspire and guide:
Nor is their bounty unrepaid,
Who for the poor provide.
3 Angels that high in glory dwell,
Thy love paternal share: –
The poor man weeping in his cell,
Is not beneath thy care.
4 The shining worlds above confess
Thy glories never fail:
Thy hands with modest beauty dress
The lillies of the vale.
5 Thou still shall be our grateful theme,
Thy praise we'll ever sing;
Our friends the kind refreshing stream,
But thou th' unfailing spring.
6 Jesus, thy sov'reign grace dispense,
From sin to set us free:
Through all the paths of innocence,
Oh! lead us up to thee. Languages: English

Prayer for the Oppressed
Hymnal: The Psalter #19 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Remembered by God First Line: Why dost Thou stand afar Lyrics: 1 Why dost Thou stand afar,
O Lord,in our distress?
And why dost Thou conceal Thyself
When troublous times oppress?
2 Do Thou, O Lord, arise;
O God, lift up Thy hand;
Forget Thou not the suff'ring poor,
The humble in the land.
3 Their foes Thou dost behold,
Their wrongs Thou wilt repay;
The poor commit themselves to Thee,
Thou art the orphan's stay.
4 Thou, Lord, hast heard their prayer
With humble hearts drew nigh;
Thou also wilt revive their strength
And ever hear their cry.
5 Defend the fatherless
And all who are oppressed,
That they by human pride and pow'r
May be no more distressed. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: CLIFTON

Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who minds religion now,
And humbly walk with God below:

Whose lips shall speak the things they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;

Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt:
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.]

And always makes his promise good
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.]

And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.]

For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.

And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English
