Psalm 69 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and powers of death, And all the sons of malice, join To execute their cursed design. Yet, gracious God, thy power and love Has made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son Atoned for sins which we had done. The pangs of our expiring Lord The honors of thy law restored; His sorrows made thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.

Psalm 69 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Father, I sing thy wondrous grace Lyrics: Father, I sing thy wondrous grace, I bless my Savior's name; He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinner's shame. His deep distress has raised us high; His duty and his zeal Fulfilled the law which mortals broke, And finished all thy will. His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood. This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise. Zion is thine, most holy God, Thy Son shall bless her gates; And glory purchased by his blood For thy own Isr'el waits.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69:1-14 First Line: Save me, O God, the swelling floods Lyrics: "Save me, O God, the swelling floods Break in upon my soul; I sink, and sorrows o'er my head Like mighty waters roll. "I cry till all my voice be gone, In tears I waste the day: My God, behold my longing eyes, And shorten thy delay. "They hate my soul without a cause, And still their number grows More than the hairs around my head, And mighty are my foes. "'Twas then I paid that dreadful debt That men could never pay, And gave those honors to thy law Which sinners took away." Thus in the great Messiah's name, The royal prophet mourns; Thus he awakes our hearts to grief, And gives us joy by turns. "Now shall the saints rejoice, and find Salvation in my name; For I have borne their heavy load Of sorrow, pain, and shame. "Grief, like a garment, clothed me round, And sackcloth was my dress, While I procured for naked souls A robe of righteousness. "Amongst my brethren and the Jews I like a stranger stood, And bore their vile reproach, to bring The Gentiles near to God. "I came in sinful mortals' stead, To do my Father's will; Yet when I cleansed my Father's house, They scandalized my zeal. "My fasting and my holy groans Were made the drunkard's song; But God, from his celestial throne, Heard my complaining tongue. "He saved me from the dreadful deep, Nor let my soul be drowned; He raised and fixed my sinking feet On well-established ground. "'Twas in a most accepted hour My prayer arose on high; And for my sake my God shall hear The dying sinner's cry.

He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave. "I shall arise to praise thy name, Shall reign in worlds unknown; And thy salvation, O my God, Shall seat me on thy throne."

The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abused the Man that checked their sin; While he fulfilled thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. ["My Father's house," said he, "was made A place for worship, not for trade:" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourged the merchants from the place.] [Zeal for the temple of his God Consumed his life, exposed his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as his own.] [His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. [Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that raised him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head.

Save me O God from Waves that roll

Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, from Waves that roll, And press to overwhelm my Soul. 2 With painful Steps in Mire I tread, And Deluges o'erflow my Head. 3 With restless Cries my Spirits faint; My Voice is hoarse with long Complaint; My Sight decays with tedious Pain, Whilst for my God i wait in vain. 4 My Hairs, tho' num'rous, are but few, Compar'd with Foes that me pursue With groundless Hate, grown now of Might, To execute their lawless Spite: Thy force me, guiltless, to resign, As Rapine, what by Right was mine. 5 Thou, Lord, my Innocence dost see, Nor are my Sins conceal'd from Thee. 6 Lord God of Hosts, take timely Care, Lest, for my sake, thy Saints despair: 7 Since I have suffer'd for thy Name Reproach, and hide my Face in Shame; 8 A Stranger to my Country grown, Nor to my nearest Kindred known; A Foreigner, expos'd to Scorn By Brethren of my Mother born. 9 For Zeal to thy lov'd House and Name Consumes me like devouring Flame; Concern'd at their Affronts to Thee, More than at Slanders cast on me. 10 My very Tears and Abstinence They construe in a spiteful Sense. 11 When cloath'd with Sackcloth for their sake, They me their common Proverb make. 12 Their Judges make my Wrongs their Jest, Those Wrongs they ought to have redress'd. How should I then expect to be From Libels of lewd Drunkards free? 13 But, Lord, to Thee I will repair For Help, with humble, timely Pray'r: Relieve me from thy Mercy's Store: Display thy Truth's preserving Pow'r. 14 From threat'ning Dangers me relieve, And from the Mire my Feet retrieve; From spiteful Foes in Safety keep, 15 Controul the Deluge, ere it spread, And roll its Waves above my Head; Nor deep Destruction's yawning Pit To close her Jaws on me permit. 16 Lord, hear the humble Pray'r I make, For thy transcending Goodness' sake; Relieve thy Supplicant once more From thy abounding Mercy's Store. 17 Nor from thy Servant hid thy Face; Make haste; for desp'rate is my Case; 18 Thy timely Succour interpose, And shield me from remorsless Foes. 19 Thou know'st what Infamy and Scorn I from my Enemies have borne; Nor can their close-dissembled Spite, Or darkest Plots, escape thy Sight. 20 Reproach and Grief have broke my Heart: I look'd for some to take my Part, To pity or relieve my Pain; But look'd, alas! for both in vain. 21 With Hunger pin'd, for Food I call; Instead of Food, they give me Gall; And when with Thirst my Spirits sink, They give me Vinegar to drink. 22 Their Table therefore to their Health Shall prove a Snare, a Trap their Wealth; 23 Perpetual Darkness seize their Eyes; And sudden Blasts their Hopes surprise. 24 On them Thou shalt thy Fury pour, 'Till thy fierce Wrath their Race devour; 25 And make their House a dismal Cell, Where none will e'er vouchsafe to dwell. 26 For new Afflictions they procur'd For him who had thy Stripes endur'd; And made the wounds thy Scourge had torn To blend afreash with sharper Scorn. 27 Sin shall to Sin their Steps betray, Till they to Truth have lost the Way. 28 From Life thou shalt exclude their Soul, Nor with the Just their Names inrol. 29 But me, how'er distress'd and poor, Thy strong Salvation shalt restore; 30 Thy Pow'r with Songs I'll then proclaim, And celebrate with Thanks thy Name. 31 Our God shall this more highly prize, Than Herds or Flocks in Sacrifice: 32 Which humble Saints with Joy shall see, And hope for like Redress with me. 33 For God regards the Poor's Complaint; Sets Pris'ners free from close Restraint. 34 Let Heav'n, Earth, Sea, their voices raise, And all the world resound His Praise. 35 For God will Sion's Walls erect; Fair Judah's Cities He'll protect; Till all her scatter'd Sons repair To undisturb'd Possession there. 36 This Blessing they shall, at their Death, To their religious Heirs bequeath; And they to endless Ages more, Of such as His blest Name adore.
