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

Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Weather 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

Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Weather First Line: Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord, Thy Wonders in the Deeps, The Sons of Courage shall record Who trade in floating ships. 2 At thy Command the Winds arise, And swell the tow'ring Waves; The Men astonish'd mount the Skies, And sink in gaping Graves. 3 [Again they climb the watry Hills, And plunge in Deeps again; Each like a tott'ring Drunkard reels, And finds his Courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the Tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring Breath; And hopeless of the distant Shore, Expect immediate death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries; He hears the loud Request, And orders Silence through the Skies, And lays the Floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their Fears, And see the Storm allay'd: Now to their Eyes the Port appears; There let their vows be paid. 7 'Tis GOD, that brings them safe to Land; Let stupid Mortals know That Waves are under his Command, And all the Winds that blow. 8 O that the Sons of Men would praise The Goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wond'rous Ways, Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107

The Works of Creation, Providence, Redemption of Israel, and Destruction of Enemies

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Weather First Line: Great is the Lord, exalted high 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

Praise due to GOD, not to Idols

Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Weather First Line: Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King 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

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Weather; Weather First Line: Give thanks to God, he reigns above Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, he reigns above, Kind are his thoughts, his name is love, His mercy ages past have know, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Israel, the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes. 3 [When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They trac'd the desert, wandering round A wild and solitary ground! 4 There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fix'd abode; Nor food, nor fountain, to asswage Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.] 5 In their distress to God they cry'd God was their saviour and their guide; He led their wandering march around, And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke, and satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land. 8 Oh let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107

Psalm 148 Paraphrased

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Weather First Line: Loud hallelujahs to the Lord Lyrics: Loud hallelujahs to the Lord, From distant worlds where creatures dwell; Let heav'n begin the solemn word, And sound it dreadful down to hell. The Lord, how absolute he reigns! Let every angel bend the knee; Sing of his love in heav'nly strains, And speak how fierce his terrors be. High on a throne his glories dwell, An awful throne of shining bliss; Fly through the world, O sun! and tell How dark thy beams compared to his. Awake, ye tempests, and his fame In sounds of dreadful praise declare; And the sweet whisper of his name Fill every gentler breeze of air. Let clouds, and winds, and waves agree To join their praise with blazing fire; Let the firm earth and rolling sea In this eternal song conspire. Ye flowery plains, proclaim his skill; Valleys, lie low before his eye; And let his praise from every hill Rise tuneful to the neighb'ring sky. Ye stubborn oaks, and stately pines, Bend your high branches and adore: Praise him, ye beasts, in diff'rent strains; The lamb must bleat, the lion roar. Birds, ye must make his praise your theme; Nature demands a song from you; While the dumb fish that cut the stream Leap up, and mean his praises too. Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, When nature all around you sings? O for a shout from old and young, From humble swains and lofty kings! Wide as his vast dominion lies Make the Creator's name be known; Loud as his thunder shout his praise, And sound it lofty as his throne. Jehovah! 'tis a glorious word: O may it dwell on every tongue! But saints, who best have known the Lord, Are bound to raise the noblest song. Speak of the wonders of that love Which Gabriel plays on every chord: From all below, and all above, Loud hallelujahs to the Lord! Each of his works his name displays But they can ne'er fulfil the praise. Scripture: Psalm 148

Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Weather First Line: Vain Man on foolish Pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain Man, on foolish Pleasures bent, Prepares for his own Punishment; What Pains, what loathsome Maladies, From Luxury and Lust arise! 2 The Drunkard feels his Vitals waste; Yet drowns his Health to please his Taste; Till all his active Pow'rs are lost, And fainting Life draws near the Dust. 3 The Glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His Soul abhors delicious Meat; Nature, with heavy Loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighted Sinners fly To GOD for Help with earnest Cry! He hears their Groans, prolongs their Breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No Med'cines could effect the Cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly Sentence GOD repeals, He sends his sov'reign Word, and heals. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful Off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's Love. Scripture: Psalm 107

Public Prayer and Praise

Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Weather; Weather First Line: The praise of Sion waits for thee Lyrics: 1 The praise of Sion waits for thee, My God; and praise becomes thy house; There shall thy saints thy glory see And there perform their public vows. 2 O thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray; All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And every yielding heart obey. 3 Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away the stain: The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. 4 Blest is the man whom thou shalt chuse, And give him kind access to thee; Give him a place within thy house, To taste thy love divinely free. Pause. 5 Let Babel fear when Sion prays, Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion's God himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6 With dreadful glory Gdf fulfils What his afflicted saints request; And with Almighty wrath reveals His love to give his churches rest. 7 Then shall the flocking nations run To Sion's hill and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Saviour's name ador'd. Scripture: Psalm 65:1-5

Divine Providence in Air, Earth and Sea; or, The God of Nature and Grace

Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Weather; Weather First Line: The God of our Salvation hears Lyrics: 1 The God of our Salvation hears The groans of Sion mix'd with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. 2 On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known, By nature's feeble light alone. 3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and Billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. 4 He bids the noisy tempest cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves, Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. 5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form; Mountains establish'd by his hand Firm on their old foundation stand. 6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The Heathen lands, with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. 7 At his command the morning ray Smiles in the East, and leads the day, He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. 8 Seasons and times obey his voice; The evening and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers. 9 'Tis from his watery stores on high, He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. 10 The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant food the vallies yield; The vallies shout with cheerful voice, And neighboring hills repeat their joys. 11 The pastures smile in green array, There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb, Each in his language speaks thy name. 12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13

Scripture: Psalm 65
