Zion's Glory and Safety

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Fearful First Line: God is know among His people Lyrics: 1 God is known among His people; Ev'ry mouth His praises fill From of old he has established His abode on Zion's hill. There He broke the sword and arrow, Bade the noise of war be still. 2 Excellent and glorious art Thou, With Thy trophies from the fray; Thou hast slain the the valiant-hearted Wrapt in sleep of death are they; When Thy anger once is risen, Who can stand in that dread day? 3 When from heav'n Thy sentence sounded, All the earth in fear was still, While to save the meek and lowly God in judgement wrought His will; E'en the wrath of man shall praise Thee, Thy design it shall fulfill. 4 Vow and pay ye to Jehovah, Him your God forever own; All men, bring your gifts before him; Worship Him and Him alone; Mighty kings obey and fear Him, Princes bow before His throne. Scripture: Psalm 76 Used With Tune: TEMPLE BORO

Defeat and Triumphant Hope

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated First Line: O God, Thou hast rejected us Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou hast rejected us, And hast afflicted sore; Thou hast been angry, but in grace O once again restore. 2 Lo, Thou hast torn and rent our land, Thy judgments dread appall; O hear her shattered strength before She totter to her fall. 3 Through ways of trial and distress Thy people Thou hast led. A bitter cup Thou givest us Of misery and dread. 4 A glorious banner Thou hast giv'n To those who fear Thy Name, A banner to display abroad, And thus the truth proclaim. 5 That Thy beloved may be saved And from their foes set free, Help with the might of Thy right hand, In mercy answer me. 6 God in His holiness hath said: I will triumphant be, All heathen lands I claim as Mine, And they shall bow to Me. 7 Now, therefore, who will lead us on Sin's strongholds to possess? No longer cast us off, O God, But give our hosts success. 8 Give Thou Thy help against the foe, For help of man is vain; Through God we shall do valiantly, The victory He shall gain.

The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful; Anger of God Righteous First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And new-born generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, and unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and rev'rent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
