Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King

Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King Your sweetest Passions raise, Your pious Pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the Praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and Works unknown Are his divine Employ; But still his Saints are near his Throne, His Treasure and his Joy. 3 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea confess his Hand; He bids the Vapours rise; Lightning and Storm at his Command Sweep through the sounding Skies. 4 All Pow'r that Gods or Kings have claim'd Is found with him alone; But Heathen Gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the Stocks or Stones they trust Can give them Show'rs of Rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their Eyes, their Ears are deaf, Nor hear when Mortals pray; Mortals, that wait for their Relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O, Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there. Scripture: Psalm 135

Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck; or, The Seaman's Song

Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness First Line: Would you behold the Works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the Works of God, His Wonders in the World abroad, Go with the Mariners, and trace The unknown Regions of the Seas. 2 They leave their native Shores behind, And seize the Favour of the Wind; Till GOD commands, and Tempests rise That heave the Ocean to the Skies. 3 Now to the Heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful Deeps again; What strange Affrights young Sailors feel, And like a staggering drunkard reel! 4 When Land is far, and Death is nigh, Lost to all Hope, to GOD they cry; His Mercy hears the loud Address, And sends Salvation in distress. 5 He bids the Winds their Wrath asswage, The furious Waves forget their Rage; 'Tis calm; and Sailors smile to see The Haven where they wish'd to be. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! Let them their private Off'rings bring, And in the Church his Glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107

The Mariners Psalm

And those that see thy wond'rous Ways, Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107

Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word. Scripture: Psalm 136

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished: a Psalm for New-England

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Isreal punished and pardoned; Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Isreal Travels in the Wilderness First Line: When God provok'd with daring Crimes Lyrics: 1 When God provok'd with daring Crimes, Scourges the Madness of the Times, He turns their Fields to barren Sand, And dries the Rivers from the Land. 2 His Word can raise the Springs again, And make the wither'd Mountains green, Send show'ry Blessings from the Skies, And Harvests in the Desarts rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but Beasts of Prey, Or Men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' Opprest and Poor repair, And builds them Towns and Cities there. 4 They sow the Fields, and Trees they plant, Whose yearly Fruit supplies their Want; Their Race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their Wealth increases with their Flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen Nations in; A savage Crew invades their Lands, Their Princes die by barb'rous Hands. 6 Their captive Sons expos'd to Scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The Country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And Desolation spreads the Field. 7 Yet if the humbled Nation mourns, Again his dreadful Hand he turns; Again he makes their Cities thrive, And bids the dying Churches live.] 8 The Righteous, with a joyful Sense, Admire the Works of Providence; And Tongues of Atheists shall no more Blaspheme the GOD that Saints adore. 9 How few with pious Care record These wond'rous dealings of the Lord; But wise Observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107

Great is the Lord, exalted high

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high Above all Pow'rs, and every Throne; Whate'er he please in Earth or Sea, Or Heav'n, or Hell, his Hand hath done. 2 At his Command the Vapours rise, The Lightnings flash, the Thunders roar; He pours the Rain, he brings the Wind And Tempest from his airy Store. 3 'Twas he those dreadful Tokens sent, O Egypt, through thy stubborn Land; When all thy first-born, Beasts and Men, Fell dead by his avenging Hand. 4 What mighty Nations, mighty Kings, He slew, and their whole Country gave To Isr'el, whom his Hand redeem'd, No more to be proud Pharaoh's Slave! 5 His Pow'r the same, the same his Grace, That saves us from the Hosts of Hell; And Heav'n he gives us to possess, Whence those apostate Angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12

Scripture: Psalm 78

Give Thanks to GOD, invoke his Name

Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Isreal saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to GOD, invoke his Name, And tell the World his Grace; Sound through the Earth his Deeds of Fame, That all may seek his Face. 2 His Cov'nant, which he kept in Mind For num'rous Ages past, To num'rous Ages yet behind In equal Force shall last. 3 He sware to Abra'm and his Seed, And made the Blessing sure: Gentiles the antient Promise read, And find his Truth endure. 4 "Thy Seed shall make all Nations blest, (Said the Almighty Voice) "Canaan's Land shall be their Rest," The Type of heav'nly Joys. 5 [How large the Grant! how rich the Grace, To give them Canaan's Land, When they were Strangers in the Place, A little feeble Band! 6 Like Pilgrims through the Countries round, Securely they remov'd: And haughty Kings that on them frown'd, Severely he reprov'd. 7 "Touch mine anointed, and my Arm "Shall soon revenge the Wrong; "The Man that does my Prophets Harm "Shall know their GOD is strong." 8 Then let the World forbear its Rage, Nor put the Church in Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's care.] Pause I. 9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the Saints, And thus provok'd their GOD, Moses was sent at their Complaints, Arm'd with his dreadful Rod. 10 He call'd for Darkness: Darkness came Like an o'erwhelming Flood; He turn'd each Lake and ev'ry Stream To Lakes and Streams of Blood. 11 He gave the Sign, and noisome Flies Through the whole Country spread; And Frogs in croaking Armies rise About the Monarch's Bed. 12 Through Fields, and Towns, and Palaces, The tenfold Vengeance flew; Locusts in Swarms devour their Trees, And Hail their Cattle slew. 13 Then by an Angel's Midnight Stroke The Flow'r of Egypt dy'd; The Strength of ev'ry House was broke, Their Glory and their Pride. 14 Now let the World forbear its Rage, Nor put the Church in Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care. Puase II. 15 Thus were the Tribes from Bondage brought, And left the hated Ground; Each some Egyptian Spoils had got, And not one feeble sound. 16 The Lord himself chose out their Way, And mark'd their Journies right; Gave them a leading Cloud by Day, A fiery Guide by Night. 17 They thirst; and Waters from the Rock In rich Abundance flow, And following still the Course they took, Ran all the Desart through. 18 O wond'rous Stream! O blessed Type Of ever-flowing Grace! So Christ our Rock maintains our Life Through all this Wilderness. 19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty Hand, The chosen Tribes possest Canaan, the rich, the promis'd Land, And there enjoy'd their Rest. 20 Then let the World forbear its Rage, The Church renounce her Fear; Isr'el must live through ev'ry Age, And be th' Almighty's Care. Scripture: Psalm 105
