The Unfailing Faithfulness of God
Hymnal: The Psalter #289a (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Purposes of God First Line: O praise the Lord, His deeds make known Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, His deeds make known,
And call upon His Name;
Sing ye to Him, His praises sing,
His wondrous works proclaim.
2 Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord,
His holy Name adore;
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength,
Seek Him for evermore.
3 Ye children of God's covenant,
Who of His grace have heard,
Forget not all His wondrous deeds
And judgments of His word.
4 The Lord our God is God alone,
All lands His judgments know;
His promise He remembers still,
While generations go.
5 While yet our fathers were but few,
Sojourners in the land,
He sware that Canaan should be theirs,
And made His covenant stand.
6 He suffered none to do them wrong
In all their pilgrim way;
Yea, for their sake were kings reproved
And covered with dismay.
7 His stern command restrained their foes
And filled them with alarm:
Touch not My own anointed ones,
Nor do My prophets harm.
8 He wholly broke the staff of bread
And called for famine sore,
And He prepared His people's way
Be sending one before.
9 Then Joseph, sold to slavery,
With cruel chains was bound;
Till his prediction came to pass,
Distress and grief he found.
10 The king released him from his bonds
And made him rule the land,
Subjecting chiefs and senators
To his controlling hand.
11 To Egypt Israel followed then,
And there grew great and strong,
Until their friends became their foes
And did them grievous wrong.
12 God sent His servant Moses then,
And Aaron, whom He chose;
Great signs and wonders they displayed
To terrify their foes.
13 In darkness they were taught to fear
God's great and holy Name;
On man and best, on vine and field,
His awful judgment came.
14 He smote the first-born in the land,
The chief of all their strength,
Enriched His people with the spoil
And brought them forth at length.
15 He led them forth in health and strength,
None weak in all their band,
And Egypt, filled with fear, rejoiced
To see them leave the land.
16 He spread a cloud to cover them,
Most glorious and bright,
And made a fiery pillar shine
To give them light by night.
17 At their request He sent them quails,
And bread of heaven bestowed;
And from the rock, to quench their thirst,
The living waters flowed.
18 His sacred word to Abraham
He kept, though waiting long,
And brought His chosen people forth
With joy and thankful song.
19 The lands and toil of wicked men
He gave them to possess,
That they might keep His holy laws;
Jehovah praise and bless. Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English Tune Title: BOARDMAN

But unto Thee be glory giv'n;
In love and truth Thou dost fulfill
The counsels of Thy sov'reign will;
Though nations fail Thy pow'r to own,
Yet Thou dost reign, and Thou alone.
2 The idol gods of heathen lands
Are but the work of human hands:
They cannot see, they cannot speak,
Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;
Like them shall be all those who hold
To gods of silver and of gold.
3 Let Israel trust in God alone,
The Lord Whose grace and pow'r are known;
To Him your full allegiance yield,
And He will be your help and shield;
All those who fear Him God will bless,
His saints have proved His faithfulness.
4 All ye that fear Him and adore,
The Lord increase you more and more;
Both great and small who Him confess,
You and your children He will bless;
Yea, blest are ye of Him Who made
The heav'ns, and earth's foundations laid.
5 The heav'ns are God's since time began,
But He hath giv'n the earth to man;
The dead praise not the living God,
But we will sound His praise abroad.
Yea, we will ever bless His Name;
Praise ye the Lord, His praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English Tune Title: GAIRNEY BRIDGE

Destroy them in Thy might.

Are they not in thy book,
Where all my life appears?

When i appeal to Thee,

His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays;

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.

He never forsaketh the good and the pure;
Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud,

2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength,

While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase,
And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain,
That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain.

The end of life's journey I clearly beheld;
I saw in what peril ungodly men stand
With sudden destruction and ruin at hand.

So God will despise them, though great they may seem;

To Whom all vengeance doth belong,
Arise and show Thy glory forth,
Requite the proud, condemn the wrong.
2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride
Shall wicked men triumphant stand?
How long shall they afflict Thy saints
And devastate Thy chosen land?
3 The widow and the fatherless
They slay, and helpless strangers smith;
The faithful God they do not fear,
They say the Lord will not requite.
4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men;
Shall not He see Who formed the eye?
Shall not He hear Who formed the ear,
And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High?
5 The Lord will judge in righteousness,
From Him all truth and knowledge flow;
The foolish thoughts of wicked men,
How vain they are the Lord doth know.
6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord,
With chastening hand dost teach Thy will,
For in the day when sinners fall
That man in peace abideth still.
7 The Lord will not cast off His own,
Nor His inheritance forsake;
Just judgment shall at length prevail,
And upright hearts shall courage take.
8 Who will arise for my defense
Against the wicked in the land?
Against iniquity and wrong
What man for me will valiant stand?
9 Unless the Lord had been my help,
My life had quickly passed away;
But when my foot had almost slipped,
O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay.
10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind
Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness, though throned in might,
Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee?
11 The wicked, in their might arrayed,
Against the righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I flee for help,
He is my refuge and my tower.
12 Our God, the refuge of His saints,
Will fight against iniquity;
Avenger of the innocent
The Lord omnipotent will be. Scripture: Psalm 94 Languages: English Tune Title: LYTHAM

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 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM

that battle calls our marshalled ranks,
that work awaits our hands and feet.
2 You hast not finished woman, man,
for we are in the making still,
as friends who share the Maker’s plan
as those who know your loving will.
3 Beyond the present sin and shame,
wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
we see the beckoning vision flame,
the blessèd kingdom of the right.
4 What though the kingdom long delay,
and still with haughty foes must cope?
It gives us that for which to pray,
a field for toil and faith and hope.
5 Since what we choose is what we are,
and what we love we yet shall be,
the goal may ever shine afar,
the will to win it makes us free. Tune Title: WAREHAM

Is covered now with deepest shame;
How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide?

Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to save
His soul from death, and from the grave?

Where in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name,
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name.

Whose promise stands from days of yore.
