Israel's Rebellion and Punsihment; or, The Sins and Chastisements of GOD's People

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Children instructed First Line: O what a stiff rebellious House Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.

Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punished, and Saints saved

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Children instructed First Line: Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove By Turns thine Anger and thy Love? There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill. Scripture: Psalm 78:32-72

I cry'd. Thy Promise was my Prop; Thy Grace stood constant by my Side, Thy Spirit bore me up. 4 While Multitudes of mournful Thoughts Within my Bosom roll, Thy boundless Love forgives my Faults, Thy Comforts chear my Soul. 5 Pow'rs of Iniquity may rise, And frame pernicious Laws; But GOD my Refuge, rules the Skies, He will defend my Cause. 6 Let Malice vent her Rage aloud, Let bold Blasphemers scoff; The Lord our GOD shall judge the Proud, And cut the Sinners off.

Consider that the righteous man

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Instructive Psalms 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.
