Psalm 93

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.201 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.8 First Line: The Lord Jehovah reigns Lyrics: The Lord Jehovah reigns, And royal state maintains, His head with awful glories crowned; Arrayed in robes of light, Begirt with sovereign might, And rays of majesty around. Upheld by thy commands, The world securely stands; And skies and stars obey thy word: Thy throne was fixed on high Before the starry sky; Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord. In vain the noisy crowd, Like billows fierce and loud, Against thine empire rage and roar; In vain, with angry spite, The surly nations fight, And dash like waves against the shore. Let floods and nations rage, And all their powers engage; Let swelling tides assault the sky; The terrors of thy frown Shall beat their madness down: Thy throne for ever stands on high. Thy promises are true, Thy grace is ever new: There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove; Thy saints with holy fear Shall in thy courts appear, And sing thine everlasting love.

Psalm 122

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.287 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.8 First Line: How pleased and blest was I Lyrics: How pleased and blest was I To hear the people cry, "Come, let us seek our God today!" Yes, with a cheerful zeal We haste to Zion's hill, And there our vows and honors pay. Zion, thrice happy place, Adorned with wondrous grace, And walls of strength embrace thee round; In thee our tribes appear To pray, and praise, and hear The sacred gospel's joyful sound. There David's greater Son Has fixed his royal throne, He sits for grace and judgment there: He bids the saint be glad, He makes the sinner sad, And humble souls rejoice with fear. May peace attend thy gate, And joy within thee wait To bless the soul of every guest! The man that seeks thy peace, And wishes thine increase, A thousand blessings on him rest! My tongue repeats her vows, "Peace to this sacred house!" For there my friends and kindred dwell; And since my glorious God Makes thee his blest abode, My soul shall ever love thee well.

'Tis like the ointment shed On Aaron's sacred head, Divinely rich, divinely sweet; The oil through all the room Diffused a choice perfume, Ran through his robes, and blessed his feet. Like fruitful showers of rain, That water all the plain, Descending from the neighboring hills; Such streams of pleasure roll Through every friendly soul, Where love, like heav'nly dew, distils.

The moon hath risen on high

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Claudius Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #93 (1861) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.8 Lyrics: The moon hath risen on high, And in the clear dark sky The golden stars all brightly glow; And black and hushed the woods, While o'er the fields and floods The white mists hover to and fro. How still the earth! how calm! What dear and home-like charm From gentle twilight doth she borrow! Like to some quiet room, Where wrapt in still soft gloom, We sleep away the daylight's sorrow. Look up; the moon tonight Shows us but half her light, And yet we know her round and fair. At other things how oft We in our blindness scoffed, Because we saw not what was there. We haughty sons of men Have but a narrow ken, We are but sinners poor and weak, Yet airy dreams we build, And deem us wise and skilled, And come not nearer what we seek. Thy mercy let us see, Nor find in vanity Our joy; nor trust in what departs; But true and simple grow, And live to Thee below With sunny pure and childlike hearts. Let Death all gently come At last to take us home, And let us meet him fearlessly; And when these bonds are riven, O take us to Thy heaven, Our Lord and God, to dwell with Thee. Now in His name most blest My brethren sink to rest; The wind is cold, chill falls the dew. Spare us, O God, and keep Us safe in quiet sleep, And all the sick and suffering too. Languages: English
