In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share.

Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders And Thy mercy to the dead? Let me live to tell Thy praises, By Thy loving-kindness led. 4 Still, O Lord, renewed each morning Unto Thee my prayer shall be; Cast me not away forever, Let me now Thy favor see. All my life is spent in sorrow, Grief and terror always nigh, Waves of wrath have surged about me; Show Thy mercy ere I die. 5 Friend and lover are departed, Dark and lonely is my way; Lord, be Thou my friend and helper, Still to Thee, O Lord, I pray. Lord, the God of my salvation, Day and night I cry to Thee; Let my prayer now find acceptance, In Thy mercy answer me. Scripture: Psalm 88 Used With Tune: IRVING

Lessons from the Past

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Righteous First Line: My people, give ear, attend to my word Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For He hath commanded that what He hath done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 3 Let children thus learn from history's light To hope in our God and walk in His sight, The God of their fathers to fear and obey, And ne'er like their fathers to turn from His way. 4 The story be told, to warn and restrain, Of hearts that were hard, rebellions, and vain, Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, Who kept not God's covenant nor walked in His fear. 5 God's wonderful works to them He had shown, His marvelous deeds their fathers had known; He made for their pathway the waters divide, His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, And forth from the rock caused water to burst; Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said, Can He Who gave water supply us with bread? 7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot To hope in their God, and trusted Him not; Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky And rained down the manna in richest supply. 8 With bread from on high their need He supplied, And more did He do when thankless they sighed; The strong winds commanding from south and from east, He sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose, Till God in His wrath o'erwhelmed them with woes; He slew of their strongest and smote their young men, But still unbelieving they sinned even then. 10 Because of their sin He smote with His rod, And then they returned and sought for their God; Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High, Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie. 11 Not right with their God in heart and in will, They faithlessly broke His covenant still; But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay, Forgave them and oft turned His anger away. 12 His pity was great, though often they sinned, For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind; Yet thought His compassion and grace they behold, They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled. 13 They limited God, the Most Holy One, And hindered the work His grace had begun; The hand that was mighty to save they forgot, The day of redemption remembering not. 14 Ungrateful and blind, no longer they thought Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought, Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red, And plagues in God's anger were heaped on their head. 15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain, In Egypt's abodes the first-born were slain, And how all God's people were led forth like sheep, The flock He delighted in safety to keep.

Shall dust repeat Thy praises, Shall it Thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That Thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To Thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart Thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to Thee I bring.

Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all And feed upon Thy vine by night and day. O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand, The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine, For it is burned with fire, no more to stand; Thy people perish in Thy anger sore Because Thy face now shines on them no more. 6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain, The son of man Thou madest strong to be; So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain; Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee.

The Cry of the Mortal

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful; Anger of God Righteous First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

Prayer for Deliverance

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Invoked First Line: O God, be merciful Lyrics: 1 O God be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man, with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2 What time I am afraid I put my trust in thee; In God I rest, and praise His word, so rich and free; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 3 All day they wrest my words, Their tho'ts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait; Shall they by wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When i appeal to Thee, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 5 In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6 Upon me are Thy voes, O God, in Whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee.

Sin and Divine Patience

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Righteous First Line: Their God and Saviour they forgot Lyrics: 1 Their God and Saviour they forgot, Their helper and their stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, he heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel his people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM
