Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107a (1766) Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above, 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; Isr'el, 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 Desart, wand'ring 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 March far wand'ring round; 'Twas the right Path 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 pow'rful Hand, And brings us to the heav'nly Land. 8 O let the Saints with joy record The Truth and Goodness of the Lord! How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

In Judah, GOD of old was known

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P76 (1766) Topics: Isreal saved from the Assyrians Lyrics: 1 In Judah, GOD of old was known; His Name in Isr'el great; In Salem stood his holy Throne, And Sion was his Seat. 2 Among the Praises of his Saints His Dwelling there he chose; There he receiv'd their just Complaints, Against their haughty Foes. 3 From Sion went his dreadful Word, And broke the threat'ning Spear, The Bow, the Arrow, and the Sword, And crush'd th' Assyrian War. 4 What are the Earth's wide Kingdoms else But mighty Hills of Prey; The Hill on which Jehovah dwells, Is glorious more than they. 5 'Twas Sion's King that stopp'd the Breath Of Captains and their Bands; The Men of Might slept fast in Death, And never found their Hands. 6 At thy Rebuke, O Jacob's GOD, Both Horse and Chariot fell: Who knows the Terrors of thy Rod? Thy Vengeance who can tell? 7 What Pow'r can stand before thy Sight, When once thy Wrath appears? When Heav'n shines round with dreadful Light, The Earth lies still and fears. 8 When GOD in his own sov'reign Ways Comes down to save th' Opprest, The Wrath of Man shall work his Praise, And he'll restrain the rest. 7 [Vow to the Lord, and Tribute bring, Ye Princes, fear his Frown; His Terror shakes the proudest King, And cuts an Army down. 10 The Thunder of his sharp Rebuke Our haughty Foes shall feel; For Jacob's GOD hath not forsook But dwells in Sion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English

To GOD I cry'd with mournful Voice

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P77a (1766) Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 To GOD I cry'd with mournful Voice, I sought his gracious Ear, In the sad Day, when Troubles rose, And filled the Night with Fear. 2 Sad were my Days, and dark my Nights, My Soul refus'd Relief; I thought on GOD the Just and Wise, But Thoughts increas'd my Grief. 3 Still I complain'd, and still opprest, My Heart began to break; My GOD, thy Wrath forbid my Rest, And kept my Eyes awake. 4 My overwhelming Sorrows grew, 'Till I could speak no more; Then I within myself withdrew, And call'd thy Judgments o'er. 5 I call'd back Years and ancient Times, When I beheld thy Face: My Spirit search'd for secret Crimes That might with-hold thy Grace. 6 I call'd thy Mercies to my Mind Which I enjoy'd before; And will the Lord no more be kind? His Face appear no more? 7 Will he for ever cast me off? His Promise ever fail? Has he forgot his tender Love? Shall Anger still prevail? 8 But I forbid this hopeless Thought, This dark despairing Frame, Rememb'ring what thy Hand hath wrought; Thy Hand is still the same. 9 I'll think again of all thy Ways, And talk thy Wonders o'er; Thy Wonders of recov'ring Grace, When Flesh could hope no more. 10 Grace dwells with Justice on the Throne; And Men that love thy Word, Have in thy Sanctuary known The Counsels of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English

"(May thy own Children say) "The Great, the Wise, the dreadful GOD! How holy is his Way !" 2 I'll meditate his Works of old; The King that reigns above, I'll hear his ancient Wonders told, And learn to trust his Love. 3 Long did the House of Joseph lie With Egypt's Yoke opprest; Long he delay'd to hear their Cry, Nor gave his People Rest. 4 The Sons of good old Jacob seem'd Abandon'd to their Foes; But his Almighty Arm redeem'd The Nation that he chose. 5 Isr'el, his People, and his Sheep, Must follow where he calls; He bid them venture through the Deep, And made the Waves their Walls. 5 The Waters saw Thee, mighty GOD, The Waters saw Thee come; Backward they fled, and frighted stood, To make thine Armies Room. 7 Strange was thy Journey through the Sea, Thy Footsteps, Lord, unknown: Terrors attend the wond'rous Way That brings thy Mercies down. 8 [Thy Voice with Terror in the Sound Through Clouds and Darkness broke; All Heav'n in Lightning shone around, And Earth with Thunder shook. 9 Thine Arrows through the Skies were hurl'd; How glorious is the Lord! Surprize and Trembling seiz'd the World, And his own Saints ador'd. 10 He gave them Water from the Rock; And safe, by Moses' Hand, Through a dry Desert led his Flock Home to the promis'd Land.] Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English

O what a stiff rebellious House

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78b (1766) Topics: Isreal Rebellion and Punishment Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry Walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the Foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.

When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78c (1766) Topics: Isreal Rebellion and Punishment Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves, And fills their Hearts with Dread; Yet he forgives the Men he loves, And sends them heav'nly Bread. 2 He fed them with a lib'ral Hand, And made his Treasures known; He gave the Midnight Clouds Command To pour Provision down. 3 The Manna, like a Morning Show'r, Lay thick around their Feet; The Corn of Heav'n, so light, so pure, As though 'twere Angels Meat. 4 But they in murm'ring Language said, "Manna is all our Feast; "We loath this light, this airy Bread; "We must have Flesh to taste." 5 Ye shall have Flesh to please your Lust, The Lord in Wrath reply'd, And sent 'em Quails, like Sand or Dust, Heap'd up from Side to Side. 6 He gave 'em all their own Desire, And greedy as they fed, His Vengeance burnt with secret Fire, And smote the Rebels dead. 7 When some were slain, the rest return'd And sought the Lord with Tears; Under the Rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their Fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious Hand, The Nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd Land. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English

Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78d (1766) Topics: Isreal Rebellion and Punishment Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove By Turns thine Anger and thy Love? There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways, Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill. Scripture: Psalm 78:32-72 Languages: English

Give Thanks to GOD, invoke his Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P105 (1766) Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to GOD, invoke his Name, And tell the World his Grace; Sound through the Earth his Deeds of Fame, That all may seek his Face. 2 His Cov'nant, which he kept in Mind For num'rous Ages past, To num'rous Ages yet behind In equal Force shall last. 3 He sware to Abra'm and his Seed, And made the Blessing sure: Gentiles the antient Promise read, And find his Truth endure. 4 "Thy Seed shall make all Nations blest, (Said the Almighty Voice) "Canaan's Land shall be their Rest," The Type of heav'nly Joys. 5 [How large the Grant! how rich the Grace, To give them Canaan's Land, When they were Strangers in the Place, A little feeble Band! 6 Like Pilgrims through the Countries round, Securely they remov'd: And haughty Kings that on them frown'd, Severely he reprov'd. 7 "Touch mine anointed, and my Arm "Shall soon revenge the Wrong; "The Man that does my Prophets Harm "Shall know their GOD is strong." 8 Then let the World forbear its Rage, Nor put the Church in Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's care.] Pause I. 9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the Saints, And thus provok'd their GOD, Moses was sent at their Complaints, Arm'd with his dreadful Rod. 10 He call'd for Darkness: Darkness came Like an o'erwhelming Flood; He turn'd each Lake and ev'ry Stream To Lakes and Streams of Blood. 11 He gave the Sign, and noisome Flies Through the whole Country spread; And Frogs in croaking Armies rise About the Monarch's Bed. 12 Through Fields, and Towns, and Palaces, The tenfold Vengeance flew; Locusts in Swarms devour their Trees, And Hail their Cattle slew. 13 Then by an Angel's Midnight Stroke The Flow'r of Egypt dy'd; The Strength of ev'ry House was broke, Their Glory and their Pride. 14 Now let the World forbear its Rage, Nor put the Church in Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care. Puase II. 15 Thus were the Tribes from Bondage brought, And left the hated Ground; Each some Egyptian Spoils had got, And not one feeble sound. 16 The Lord himself chose out their Way, And mark'd their Journies right; Gave them a leading Cloud by Day, A fiery Guide by Night. 17 They thirst; and Waters from the Rock In rich Abundance flow, And following still the Course they took, Ran all the Desart through. 18 O wond'rous Stream! O blessed Type Of ever-flowing Grace! So Christ our Rock maintains our Life Through all this Wilderness. 19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty Hand, The chosen Tribes possest Canaan, the rich, the promis'd Land, And there enjoy'd their Rest. 20 Then let the World forbear its Rage, The Church renounce her Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care.

And yet how oft did Isr'el prove Thy constancy of Grace! 2 They saw thy Wonders wrought, And then thy Praise they sung; But soon thy Works of Pow'r forgot, And murmur'd with their Tongue. 3 Now they believe his Word While Rocks with Rivers flow; Now with their Lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 4 Yet when they mourn'd their Faults, He hearken'd to their Groans, Brought his own Cov'nant to his Thoughts, And call'd 'em still his Sons. 5 Their Names were in his Book, He sav'd 'em from their Foes: Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The People that he chose. 6 Let Isr'el bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient Race: And Christians join the solemn Word, Amen, to all the Praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:43-48 Languages: English

When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P114 (1766) Topics: Isreal Travels in the Wilderness Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand, Left the proud Tyrant, and his Land, The Tribes with chearful Homage own Their King, and Judah was his Throne. 2 Across the Deep their Journey lay; The Deep divides to make them Way; Jordan beheld their March, and fled With backward Current to his Head. 3 The Mountains shook like frighted Sheep, Like Lambs the little Hillocks leap! Not Sinai on her Base could stand, Conscious of sov'reign Pow'r at Hand. 4 What Pow'r could make the Deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his Tide? Why did ye leap, ye little Hills? And whence the Fright that Sinai feels? 5 Let ev'ry Mountain, ev'ry Flood, Retire and know th' approaching GOD, The King of Isr'el: see him here: Tremble thou Earth, adore and fear. 6 He thunders, and all Nature mourns, The Rock to standing Pools he turns; Flints spring with Fountains at his Word, And Fires and Seas confess the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 114 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #135 (1740) Topics: Isreal saved from the Assyrians First Line: In Judah, GOD of old was known Lyrics: 1 In Judah, GOD of old was known; His Name in Isr'el great; In Salem stood his holy Throne, And Sion was his Seat. 2 Among the Praises of his Saints His Dwelling there he chose; There he receiv'd their just Complaints Against their haughty Foes. 3 From Sion went his dreadful Word, And broke the threat'ning Spear, The Bow, the Arrow, and the Sword, And crush'd th' Assyrian war. 4 What are the Earth's wide Kingdoms else But mighty Hills of Prey; The Hill on which Jehovah dwells, Is glorious more than they. 5 'Twas Sion's King that stopp'd the Breath Of Captains and their Bands; The Men of Might slept fast in Death, And never found their Hands. 6 At thy Rebuke, O Jacob's GOD, Both Horse and Chariot fell: Who knows the Terrors of thy Rod? Thy Vengeance who can tell? 7 What Pow'r can stand before thy Sight, When once thy Wrath appears? When Heav'n shines round with dreadful Light, The Earth lies still and fears. 8 When GOD, in his own sov'reign Ways Comes down to save th' Opprest, The Wrath of Man shall work his Praise, And he'll restrain the rest. 7 [Vow to the Lord, and Tribute bring, Ye Princes, fear his frown; His Terror shakes the proudest King, And cuts an Army down. 10 The Thunder of his sharp Rebuke Our haughty Foes shall feel; For Jacob's GOD hath not forsook But dwells in Sion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English

In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their Eyes, their Ears are deaf, Nor hear when Mortals pray; Mortals, that wait for their Relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O, Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there.

His Face appear no more? 7 Will he for ever cast me off? His Promise ever fail? Has he forgot his tender Love? Shall Anger still prevail? 8 But I forbid this hopeless Thought; This dark despairing Frame, Rememb'ring what thy Hand hath wrought; Thy Hand is still the same. 9 I'll think again of all thy Ways, And talk thy Wonders o'er; Thy Wonders of recov'ring Grace, When Flesh could hope no more. 10 Grace dwells with Justice on the Throne; And Men that love thy Word Have in thy Sanctuary known The Counsels of the Lord.

"(May thy own Children say) "The Great, the Wise, the dreadful GOD! How holy is his Way !" 2 I'll meditate his Works of old; The King that reigns above, I'll hear his ancient Wonders told, And learn to trust his Love. 3 Long did the House of Joseph lie With Egypt's Yoke opprest; Long he delay'd to hear their Cry, Nor gave his People Rest. 4 The Sons of good old Jacob seem'd Abandon'd to their Foes; But his Almighty Arm redeem'd The Nation that he chose. 5 Isr'el, his People, and his Sheep, Must follow where he calls; He bid them venture through the Deep, And made the Waves their Walls. 5 The Waters saw Thee, mighty GOD, The Waters saw Thee come; Backward they fled, and frighted stood, To make thine Armies Room. 7 Strange was thy Journey through the Sea, Thy footsteps, Lord, unknown; Terrors attend the wond'rous Way That brings thy Mercies down. 8 [Thy Voice, with Terror in the Sound, Through Clouds and Darkness broke; All Heav'n in Lightning shone around, And Earth with Thunder shook. 9 Thine Arrows through the Skies were hurl'd; How glorious is the Lord!

O blessed Type Of ever-flowing Grace! So Christ our Rock maintains our Life Through all this Wilderness. 19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty Hand, The chosen Tribes possest Canaan, the rich, the promis'd Land, And there enjoy'd their Rest. 20 Then let the World forbear its Rage, The Church renounce her Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care.
