Liberality; or, the duty and pleasures of benevolence
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Liberality; Liberality First Line: O what stupendous mercy shines Lyrics: 1 O what stupendous mercy shines
Around the majesty of heaven!
Rebels he deigns to call his sons,
Their souls renew'd their sins forgiven.
2 Go, imitate the grace divine,
The grace that blazes like a sun;
Hold forth your fair, tho' feeble light,
Thro' all your lives let mercy run:
3 Upon your bounty's willing wings
Swift let the great salvation fly;
The hungry feed, the naked clothe,
To pain and sickness help apply.
4 Pity the weeping widow's woe,
And be her counsellor and stay;
Adopt the fatherless, and smooth
The useful, happy life his way.
5 Let age with want and weakness bow'd,
Your bowels of compassion move;
Let e'en your enemies be blest,
Their hatred recompens'd with love.
6 When all is done, renounce your deeds,
Renounce self-righteousness with scorn;
Thus will you glorify your God,
And thus the christian name adorn. Languages: English

Of God, and loves his sacred law:
His seed on earth shall be renown'd;
His house the seat of wealth shall be,
An unexhausted treasury,
And with successive honours crown'd.
2 His liberal favours he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends:

Yet what his charity impairs,
He saves by prudence in affairs,
And thus he's just to all mankind.

Like a green root revives and bears
A train of blessings for his heirs,
When dying nature sleeps in dust.

Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground;
His conscience holds his courage up:
The soul that's filled with virtue's light,
Shines brightest in affliction's night:
And sees in darkness beams of grace.

His heart that fix'd on God relies,
Though waves and tempests roar around:

And gnash their teeth in agony,
To find their expectations crost:
They and their envy, pride and spite,
Sink down to everlasting night,
And all their names in darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

Some beams of light shall shine,
To show the world his righteousness,
And give him peace divine.

That Man is blest who stands in Awe
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112a (1766) Topics: Liberality rewarded Lyrics: 1 That Man is blest who stands in Awe
Of GOD, and loves his sacred Law,
His Seed on Earth shall be renown'd;
His House the Seat of Wealth shall be,
An inexhausted Treasury,
And with successive Honours crown'd.
2 His lib'ral Favours he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends;
A generous Pity fills his Mind:
Yet what his Charity impairs,
He saves by Prudence in Affairs
And thus he's just to all Mankind.
3 His Hands, while they his Alms bestow'd,
His Glory's future Harvest sow'd;
The sweet Remembrance of the Just,
Like a green Root, revives and bears
A Train of Blessings for his Heirs,
When dying Nature sleeps in Dust.
4 Beset with threat'ning Dangers round,
Unmov'd shall he maintain his Ground;
His Conscience holds his Courage up:
The Soul that's fill'd with Virtue's Light,
Shines brightest in Affliction's Night;
And sees in Darkness Beams of Hope.
Pause.
5 [Ill Tidings never can surprize
His Heart, that fix'd on GOD relies,
Though Waves and Tempests roar around:
Safe on the Rock he sits, and sees
The Shipwreck of his Enemies,
And all their Hope and Glory drown'd.
6 The Wicked shall his Triumph see,
And gnash their Teeth in Agony,
To find their Expectations crost;
They and their Envy, Pride, and Spite,
Sink down to everlasting Night,
And all their Names in Darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

His Heart is arm'd against the Fear,
For GOD with all his Pow'r is there.
4 His Soul well fix'd upon the Lord,
Draws heav'nly Courage from his Word;
Amidst the Darkness Light shall rise,
To chear his Heart and bless his Eyes.
5 He hath dispers'd his Alms abroad;
His Works are still before his God;
His Name on Earth shall long remain,
While envious Sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

The poor and weak befriends;
Deliv'rance in the evil day
To him Jehovah sends.

On earth he shall be blest;
The Lord will not surrender him
By foes to be distressed.
3 Upon the bed of suffering
Jehovah will sustain,
And in his sickness God will soothe
The weariness and pain.
4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends,
Let me Thy mercy see;
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned,
I have offended Thee.
5 My enemies against me speak,
And they my life have scorned;
They wish my name to pass away,
Unhonored and unmourned.
6 My foe, deceitful, visits me,
By seeming kindness led,
His heart intent on gathering
Some hurtful news to spread.
7 My foes, together whispering,
Their evil plans devise;
Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
Laid low, he shall not rise.
8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend,
In whom I put my trust,
Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath
To crush me in the dust.
9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace,
And raise me up again,
That I with justice may requite
These base and wicked men.
10 By this I know assuredly
That I am loved by Thee,
Because my foe does not exult
In triumph over me.
11 And as for me, in uprightness
Thou dost uphold me well,
And settest me before Thy face
For evermore to dwell.
12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God
For evermore. Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT

Our God is strong to save;
The Lord alone is able
To ransom from the grave.
3 Sing unto God, ye nations,
Ye kingdoms of the earth;
Sing unto God, all people,
And praise His matchless worth.
He rides in royal triumph
Upon the heav'ns abroad;
He speaks, the mountains tremble
Before the voice of God.

Ascribe to God on high;
His arm protects His people
Who on His pow'r rely.
Forth from Thy holy dwelling
Thy awful glories shine;
Thou strengthenest Thy people;
Unending praise be Thine.

Their gifts of finest gold;
For Him shall constant prayer be made,
His praise each day be told.
