How blest is he, who ne'er consents

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIII (1789) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents By ill advice to walk; Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor fits Where men profanely talk: 2 But makes the perfect law of God His bus'ness and delight; Devoutly reads therein by day, And meditates by might. 3 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, With timely fruit does bend, He still shall flourish, and success All his designs attend. 4 Ungodly men, and their attempts, No lasting root shall find; Untimely blasted, and dispers'd, Like chaff before the wind. 5 For God approves the just man's ways; To happiness they tend: But sinners, and the paths they tread, Shall both in ruin end.

Consider that the righteous man

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIV (1789) Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 Consider that the righteous man Is God's peculiar choice: And when to him I make my pray'r, He always hears my voice. 2 Then stand in awe of his commands; Flee ev'ry thing that's ill; Commune in private with your hearts, And bind them to his will. 3 The place of other sacrifice Let righteousness supply; And let your hope, securely fix'd, On God alone rely. 4 While worldly minds impatient grow, More prosp'rous times to see; Still let the glories of thy face shine brightly, Lord, on me. 5 So shall my heart o'er flow with joy More lasting and more true, Than theirs, who stores of corn and wine Successively renew. 6 Then down in peace I'll lay my head, And take my needful rest: No other guard, O Lord, I crave, Of thy defence posses'd.

O thou, to whom all creatures bow

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.I (1789) Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 O thou, to whom all creatures bow, Within this earthly frame, Thro' all the world how great art thou, How glorious is thy name! 2 In heav'n thy wond'rous acts are sung, Nor fully reckon'd there; And yet thou mak'st the infant tongue Thy boundless praise declare. 3 When heav'n, thy beaut'ous work on high, Employs my wond'ring sight; The moon, that nightly rules the sky, with Stars of feebler light; 4 What's man (say I) that, Lord, thou lov'st To keep him in thy mind? Or what his offspring, that thou prov'st To them so wond'rous kind? 5 Him next in pow'r thou didst create To thy celestial train; Ordain'd with dignity and state, O'er all thy works to reign. 6 They jointly own his powerful sway; The beasts that prey or graze; The bird that wings its airy way; The fish that cuts the seas. 7 O thou, to whom all creatures bow Within this earthly frame, Thro' all the world how great art thou, How glorious is thy name!

To celebrate thy praise, O Lord!

I will my heart prepare, To all the list'ning world thy works, Thy wond'rous works declare. 2 The thought of them shall to my soul Exalted pleasures bring; Whilst to thy name, O thou most High, Triumphant praise I sing. 3 The Lord for ever lives, who has His righteous throne prepar'd, Impartial justice to dispense, To punish or reward. 4 God is a constant, sure defence Against oppressing rage; As troubles rise, his needful aids In our behalf engage. 5 All those who have his goodness prov'd, Will in his truth confide; Whose mercy ne'er forsook the man That on his help rely'd.

Lord, who's the happy man, that may

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXV (1789) Scripture: Psalm 15 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who's the happy man, that may To thy blest courts repair; And, while he bows before thy throne, Shall find acceptance there? 2 'Tis he, whose ev'ry thought, and deed By rules of virtue moves; Whose gen'rous tongue disdains to speak The thing his heart disproves: 3 Who never did a slander forge, His neighbour's fame to wound; Nor hearken to a false report, By malice whisper'd round. 4 Who vice, in all its pomp and pow'r, Can treat with just neglect; And piety, though cloth'd in rags, Religiously respect: 5 Who to his plighted vows and trust Has ever firmly stood; And, though he promise to his loss, He makes his promise good: 6 Who seeks not by oppressive ways His Treasure to employ; Whom no rewards can ever bribe, The guiltless to destroy. 7 The man, who, by this steady course, Has happiness ensur'd, When earth's foundation shakes, shall stand, By Providence secur'd.

Thou suit'st, O Lord, thy righteous ways

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXVII (1789) Scripture: Psalm 18 Lyrics: 1 Thou suit'st, O Lord, thy righteous ways To various paths of human kind; They who for mercy merit praise, With thee shall wond'rous mercy find. 2 Thou to the just shalt justice show, The pure thy purity shall see; Such as perversly choose to go, Shall meet with due returns from thee. 3 For God's designs shall still succeed; His word will bear the utmost test: He's a strong shield to all that need, And on his sure protection rest. 4 Who then deserves to be ador'd, But God, on whom my hopes depend? Or who, except the mighty Lord, Can with resistless pow'r defend? 5 Therefore, to celebrate his fame, My grateful voice to heav'n I'll raise; And nations, strangers to his name, Shall thus be taught to sing his praise.

God's perfect law converts the soul

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXVI (1789) Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fix'd, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weigh'd. 4 Of more esteem than golden mines, Of gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distil. 5 But what frail man observes how oft He does from virtue fall? O! cleanse me from my secret faults, Thou, God, that know'st them all. Topics: Instructive Psalms Languages: English

The heav'ns declare thy glory, Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.III (1789) Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns declare thy glory, Lord, Which that alone can fill; The firmament and stars express Their great Creator's skill. 2 The dawn of each returning day Fresh beams of knowledge brings; From darkest night's successive rounds Divine instruction springs. 3 Their pow'rful language to no realm Or region is confin'd; 'Tis nature's voice, and understood Alike by all mankind. 4 Their doctrine does it's sacred sense Thro' earth's extent display; Whose bright contents the circling sun Does round the world convey. 5 From east to west, from west to east, His restless course he goes; And thro' his progress cheerful light And vital warmth bestows.

The Lord himself, the mighty Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXV (1789) Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 The Lord himself, the mighty Lord, Vouchsafes to be my guide; The shepherd by whose constant care My wants are all suppy'd. 2 In tender grass he makes me feed, And gently there repose; Then leads me to cool shades, and where Refreshing water flows. 3 He does my wand'ring soul reclaim; And, to his endless praise, Instructs with humble zeal to walk In his most righteous ways. 4 I pass the gloomy vale of death, From fear and danger free; For there his aiding rod and staff Defend and comfort me.
