Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song

Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercies, Lord, shall be my Song, My Song on them shall ever dwell; To Ages yet unborn, my Tongue Thy never-failing Truth shall tell. 2 I have affirm'd and still maintain, Thy Mercy shall for ever last; Thy Truth that does the Heav'ns sustain, Like them shall stand for ever fast. 3 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice; "With David I a League have made; "To him, my Servant, and my Choice, "By solemn Oath this Grant convey'd; 4 "While Earth, and Seas, and Skies endure, "Thy Seed shall in my Sight remain; "To them thy Throne I will ensure, "They shall to endless Ages reign." 5 For such stupendous Truth and Love, Both Heav'n and Earth just Praises owe, By Choirs of Angels sung above, And by assembled Saints below. 6 What Seraph of Celestial Birth To vie with Isr'el's God shall dare? Or who among the Gods of Earth, With our Almighty Lord compare? 7 With Rev'rence and Religious Dread, His Saints should to his Temple press; His Fear thro' all their Hearts should spread, Who his Almighty Name confess. 8 Lord God of Armies, who can boast Of Strength or Pow'r, like thine renown'd? Of such a num'rous Faithful Host, As that which does thy Throne surround? 9 Thou dost the lawless Sea controul, And change the prospect of the Deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping Billows roul, Thou mak'st the rolling Billows sleep. 10 Thou brak'st in pieces Rahab's Pride, And did'st oppressing Pow'r disarm: Thy scatter'd Foes have dearly try'd The Force of thy resistless Arm. 11 In Thee the sov'reign Right remains Of Earth and Heav'n; thee, Lord, alone The World and all that it contains, Their Maker and Preserver own. 12 The Poles on which the Globe does rest, Were form'd by thy creating Voice; Tabor and Hermon, East and West In thy sustaining Pow'r rejoice. 13 Thy Arm is mighty, strong thy Hand, Yet, Lord, thou dost with Justice reign; 14 Possest of absolute Command, Thou Truth and Mercy dost maintain. 15 Happy, thrice happy they, who hear Thy sacred Trumpet's joyful Sound; Who may at Festivals appear, With thy most glorious Presence crown'd. 16 Thy Saints shall always be o'erjoy'd, Who on thy sacred Name rely; And, in thy Righteousness employ'd, Above their Foes be rais'd on high. 17 For in thy Strength they shall advance, Whose Conquests from thy Favour spring: 18 The Lord of Hosts is our Defence, And Isr'el's God our Isr'el's King. 19 Thus spak'st thou by thy Prophet's Voice, "A mighty Champion I will send; "From Judah's Tribe have I made Choice "Of one who shall the rest defend. 20 "My Servant David I have found, "With holy Oil anointed him; 21 "Him shall the Hand support that crown'd, "And guard that gave the Diadem. 22 "No Prince from him shall Tribute force, "No son of Strife shall him annoy; 23 "His spiteful Foes I will disperse, "And them before his Face destroy. 24 "My Truth and Grace shall him sustain; "His Armies, in well order'd Ranks, 25 "Shall conquer, from the Tyrian Main "To Tigris and Euphrates Banks. 26 "Me for his Father he shall take, "His God and Rock of Safety call; 27 "Him I my first-born Son will make, "And earthly Kings his Subjects all. 28 "To him my Mercy I'll secure, "My Cov'nant make for ever fast; 29 "His Seed for ever shall endure, "His Throne, till Heav'n dissolve, shall last. Part II 30 "But if his Heirs my law forsake, "And from my sacred Precepts stray; 31 "If they my righteous Statutes break, "Nor strictly my Commands obey; 32 "Their Sins I'll visit with a Rod, "And for their Folly make them smart; 33 "Yet will not cease to be their God, "Nor from my Truth, like them, depart. 34 'My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke, "But in Remembrance fast retain; "The Thing that once my Lips have spoke "Shall in eternal Force remain. 35 "Once have I sworn, but once for all, "And made my Holiness the tie, "That I my Grant will ne'er recall, "Nor to my Servant David lie. 36 "Whose Throne and Race the constant Sun "Shall, like his Course, establish'd see: 37 "Of this my Oath, thou conscious Moon, "In Heav'n my faithful Witness be." 38 Such was thy gracious Promise, Lord, But thou hast now our Tribes forsook, Thy own Anointed hast abhorr'd, And turn'd on him thy wrathful Look. 39 Thou seemest to have render'd void The Cov'nant with thy Servant made, Thou hast his Dignity destroy'd, And in the Dust his Honour laid. 40 Of strong Holds thou hast him bereft, And brought his Bulwarks to decay; 41 His frontier Coasts defenceeless left, A public Scorn, and common Prey. 42 His Ruin does glad Triumphs yield To Foes advanc'd by Thee to Might; 43 Thou hast his conqu'ring Sword unsteel'd, His Valour turn'd to shameful Flight. 44 His Glory is to Darkness fled, His Throne is levll'd with the Ground; 45 His Youth to wretched Bondage led, With Shame o'erwhelm'd & Sorrow drown'd. 46 How long shall we thy Absence mourn? Wilt thou for ever, Lord, retire? Shall thy consuming Anger burn 'Till that and we at once expire? 47 Consider, Lord, how short a Space Thou dost for mortal Life ordain; No Method to prolong the Race, But loading it with Grief and Pain. 48 What Man is he that can controul Death's strict unalterable Doom? Or rescue from the Grave his soul, The Grave that must Mankind entomb? 49 Lord, where's thy Love, thy boundless Grace, The Oath to which thy Truth did seal, Consign'd to David and his Race, The Grant which Time shou'd ne'er repeal? 50 See how thy Servants treated are With Infamy, Reproach and Spite; Which in my silent Breast I bear From Nations of licentious Might. 51 How they, reproaching thy great Name, Have made thy Servants Hope their Jest: 52 Yet thy just praises we'll proclaim, And ever sing, The Lord be blest. Amen. Amen.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89:5-7 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly minded, for with blessing in his hand Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand. 2 King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, in the body and the blood, he will give to all the faithful his own self for heavenly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the powers of hell may vanish as the shadows clear away. 4 At his feet the six-winged seraph, cherubim, with sleepless eye, veil their faces to the presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, “Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord most high!” Topics: Adoration; Christian Year Reign of Christ; Christ's Return and Judgment; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Advent Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: From Liturgy of St. James, 4th cent.

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song; The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue: Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last, Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast. 2 Without thy free mercy I could not live here; Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair: But, thro' thy free goodness, my spirits revive, And he that first made me, still keeps me alive. 3 Whene'er I mistake, thy kind mercy begins To melt me and then I can mourn for my sins; And, led by the Spirit to Jesus's blood, My sorrows are dry'd and my strength is renew'd. 4 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; Dissolv'd by thy sun-shine, I fall to the ground And weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 5 Thy mercy is endless, most tender and free; No sinner need doubt, since 'tis given to me; No merit will buy it, nor fears stop its course; Good works are the fruits of its freeness and force. 6 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell; 'Twas Jesus my friend when he hung on the tree, That open'd the channel of mercy for me. 7 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own, And covenant love of thy crucified Son; All praise to the Spirit whose witness divine Seals mercy and pardon, and righteousness MINE.
