The Mariners Psalm
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #197 (1740) Topics: Mariners Psalm First Line: Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord,
Thy Wonders in the Deeps,
The Sons of Courage shall record
Who trade in floating ships.
2 At thy Command the Winds arise,
And swell the tow'ring Waves;
The Men astonish'd mount the Skies,
And sink in gaping Graves.
3 [Again they climb the watry Hills,
And plunge in Deeps again;
Each like a tott'ring Drunkard reels,
And finds his Courage vain.
4 Frighted to hear the Tempest roar,
They pant with flutt'ring Breath;
And hopeless of the distant Shore,
Expect immediate death.]
5 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries;
He hears the loud Request,
And orders Silence through the Skies,
And lays the Floods to rest.
6 Sailors rejoice to lose their Fears,
And see the Storm allay'd:
Now to their Eyes the Port appears;
There let their vows be paid.
7 'Tis GOD, that brings them safe to Land;
Let stupid Mortals know
That Waves are under his Command,
And all the Winds that blow.
8 O that the Sons of Men would praise
The Goodness of the Lord!
And those that see thy wond'rous Ways,
Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.236 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Mariner's psalm; Psalm for mariners First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics:
Would you behold the works of God,
His wonders in the world abroad,
Go with the mariners, and trace
The unknown regions of the seas.
They leave their native shores behind,
And seize the favor of the wind;
Till God command, and tempests rise
That heave the ocean to the skies.
Now to the heav'ns they mount amain,
Now sink to dreadful deeps again;
What strange affrights young sailors feel,
And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel!
When land is far, and death is nigh,
Lost to all hope, to God they cry;
His mercy hears the loud address,
And sends salvation in distress.
He bids the winds their wrath assuage,
The furious waves forget their rage;
'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see
The haven where they wished to be.
O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
Let them their private off'rings bring,
And in the church his glory sing.

Kind are his thoughts, his name is love,
His mercy ages past have known,
And ages long to come shall own.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord
The wonders of his grace record;
Israel, the nation whom he chose,
And rescu'd from their mighty foes.
3 [When God's almighty arm had broke
Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke,
They trac'd the desert wandering round;
A wild and solitary ground!
4 There they could find no leading road,
Nor city for a fix'd abode;
Nor food, nor fountain, to asswage
Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.]
5 In their distress to God they cry'd
God was their Saviour and their guide;
He led their wandering march around.
And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground.
6 Thus when our first release we gain
From sin's old yoke, and satan's chain,
We have this desert world to pass,
A dangerous and a tiresome place.
7 He feeds and clothes us all the way,
He guides our footsteps lest we stray,
He guards us with a powerful hand,
And brings us to the heavenly land.
8 Oh let the saints with joy record
The truth and goodness of the Lord!
How great his works! how kind his ways!
Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

And no deliverance shall be found;
Laden with grief they waste their breath

He makes the dawning light arise,
And scatters all that dismal shade
That hung so heavy round their head.
5 He cuts the bars of brass in two,

And gives the labouring soul relief.

Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Prepares for his own punishment;
What pains, what loathsome maladies
From luxury and lust arise!
2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste;
Yet drowns his health to please his taste;
Till all his active powers are lost,
And fainting life draws near the dust.
3 The glutton groans, and loaths to eat,
His soul abhors delicious meat;
Nature, with heavy loads opprest
Would yield to death to be releas'd.
4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly
To God for help with earnest cry!
He hears their groans, prolongs their breath,
And saves them from approaching death.
5 No med'cines could effect the cure
So quick, so easy, or so sure:
The deadly sentence God repeals,
He sends his sovereign word, and heals.
6 Oh may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!

How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #193 (1786) Topics: Psalm for mariners; Psalm for mariners First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes,
Scourges the madness of the times,
He turns their fields to barren sand,
And dries the rivers from the land.
2 His word can raise the springs again,
And make the wither'd mountains green,
Send showery blessings from the skies;
And harvests in the desert rise.
3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild as they,
He bids th' opprest and poor repair,
And builds them towns and cities there.
4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant,
Whose yearly fruit supplies their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin,
He lets the heathen nations in,
A savage crew invades their lands,
Their princes die by barbarous hands.
6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn,
Wander unpity'd and forlorn;
The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd,
And desolation spreads the field.
7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns,
Again his dreadful hand he turns:
Again he makes their cities thrive,
And bids the dying churches live.]
8 The righteous with a joyful sense
Admire the works of providence;
And tongues of atheists shall no more,
Blaspheme the God that saints adore.
9 How few with pious care record
These wondrous dealings of the Lord!
But wise observers still shall find
The Lord is holy, just and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished
