Lord God of health, the hope and stay

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #LXXXVIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Lord God of health, the hope and stay thou art alone to me, I call and cry throughout the day, and all the night to thee. 2 O let my pray'r with speed ascend unto thy sight on high, Incline thine ear, O Lord, attend, and hearken to my cry. 3 For why? with wo my heart is fill'd, and doth in trouble dwell, My life and breath doth almost yield, and draweth nigh to hell. 4 I am esteem'd as one of them, that in the pit do fall, And made as one among those men that have no strength at all; 5 As one among the dead, and free from things, that here remain; It were more ease for me to be with them, the which are slain; 6 As those that lie in grave, I say, whom thou hast clean forgot, The which thy hand hath cut away, and thou regard'st them not; 7 Yea, like to one shut up full sure within the lowest pit, In darksome place and all obscure, and in the depth of it. 8 Thy anger and thy wrath likewise full sore on me do lie, And all thy storms against me rise, my soul to vex and try. 9 Thou putt'st my friends far off from me, and mak'st them hate me sore; I am shut up in prison fast, and can come forth no more. 10 My sight doth fail, through grief and wo, I call to thee, O God, Throughout the day my hands also to thee I stretch abroad. The Second Part. 11 Dost thou unto the dead declare thy wondrous works of fame? Shall dead to life again repair, and praise thee for the same? 12 Or shall thy loving-kindness, Lord, be shewed in the grave? Or shall with them, that are destroy'd thy truth her honour have? 13 Shall they that lie in dark full low see all thy wonders great? Or there shall they thy justice know, where men all things forget? 14 But I, O Lord, to thee alway do cry and call apace, My pray'r also ere it be day shall come before thy face. 15 Why dost thou, Lord, abhor my soul in grief, that seeketh thee? And now, O Lord, why dost thou hide thy face away from me? 16 I am afflicted, dying still from youth many a year, Thy terrors which do work me ill with troubled mind I bear: 17 The furies of thy wrathful rage full sore upon me lie. Thy terrors they do not asswage, but press me heavily; 18 All day they compass me about, as water at the tide, And all at once with streams full great beset me on each side. 19 Thou settest far from me my friends and lovers ev'ry one; Yea, and my old acquaintance all out of my sight are gone. Scripture: Psalm 88 Languages: English

Incline thine ears O Lord, and let

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #V (1790) Lyrics: 1 Incline thine ears, O Lord, and let my words have free access To thee, who art my God and King, from whom I seek redress. 2 Hear me betimes, Lord, tarry not, for I will have respect My supplication in the morn to thee for to direct. 3 And I will patiently still trust in thee, my God, alone; Thou art not pleas'd with wickedness, and ill with thee dwells none. 4 Such as be foolish shall not stand in sight of thee, O Lord; Vain workers of iniquity thou hast always abhorr'd. 5 The lyars and base flatterers shall be destroy'd by thee, Blood-thirsty and deceitful men likewise shall hated be. 6 Therefore will I come to thy house, trusting upon thy grace, And rev'rently will worship thee towards thy holy place. 7 Lord, lead me in thy righteousness, for to confound my foes; Also the way that I should walk before my face disclose: 8 For in their mouths there is no truth, their inward filth is great, Their throat an open sepulchre, and tongues full of deceit. 9 Destroy their false conspiracies, that they may come to naught; Subvert them in their heaps of sin, who have rebellion wrought; 10 But those that put their trust in thee, let them be glad always, And render thanks for thy defence, and give thy name the praise 11 For thou with favour wilt encrease the just and righteous still, And with thy grace, as with a shield, defend him from all ill. Scripture: Psalm 5 Languages: English

Lord in thy wrath reprove me not

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VI (1790) Lyrics: 1 Lord, in thy wrath reprove me not, tho' I deserve thine ire; Nor yet correct me in thy rage, O Lord, I thee desire: 2 For I am weak, therefore, O Lord, of mercy me forbear; And heal me, Lord, for why? thou know'st my bones do quake for fear. 3 My soul is troubled very sore, and vex'd exceedingly; But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay to cure my misery? 4 Lord, turn thee to thy wonted grace, some pity on me take; O save me, not for my deserts, but for thy mercies' sake. 5 For why? no man among the dead remembreth thee at all; Or who shall worship thee, O Lord, that in the pit do fall? 6 So grievous is my plaint and moan, that I grow wondrous faint, All the night long I wash my bed with tears of my complaint. 7 My sight is dim, and waxeth old with anguish of my heart, For fear of them that be my foes, and would my soul subvert. 8 But now depart from me, all ye that work iniquity, Because the Lord hath heard the voice of my complaint and cry: 9 He heard not only the request and pray'r of my sad heart, But it received at my hands, and took it in good part. 10 And now my foes that vexed me the Lord wilt soon defame, And suddenly confound them all with great rebuke and shame. Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English

O Lord my God, I put my trust

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VII (1790) Lyrics: 1 O Lord my God, I put my trust and confidence in thee; Save me from them that me pursue, and still deliver me: 2 Lest like a lion me he tear and rend in pieces small, While there is none to succour me, and rid me out of thrall. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done the thing that is not right, Or else if I be found in fault, or guilty in thy sight; 4 Or to my friend rewarded ill, or left him in distress, Who me pursu'd most cruelly, and hated me causeless: 5 Then let my foe pursue my soul, let him my life down thrust Unto the earth, and also lay my honour in the dust. 6 Stand up, O Lord, in wrath, because my foes do rage so fast; Unto the judgment rise for me which thou commanded hast. 7 Then shall great nations come to thee, and know thee by this thing, If thou declare, for love of them, thyself as Lord and King. 8 And as thou art of all men Judge, O Lord, now judge thou me, According to my righteousness and my integrity. The Second Part. 9 Lord, cease the hate of wicked men, and be the just man's guide, By whom the secrets of all hearts are searchèd and descry'd. 10 I take my help to come of God in all my pain and smart, Who doth preserve all those that be of pure and perfect heart. 11 The just man and the wicked both God judgeth by his power, So that he feels his mighty hand ev'n every day and hour. 12 Except he change his mind, I die: for ev'n as he thinks fit, He whets his sword, he bends his bow, aiming where he may hit; 13 And doth prepare his mortal darts his arrows keen and sharp, For them that do me persecute, and do on mischief harp. 14 But 1o, tho' he in travail be of his dev'lish forecast, Yet of his mischief once conceiv'd he brings forth nought at last. 15 He digs a ditch and makes it deep, in hopes to hurt his brother; But he shall fall into the pit that he digg'd up for other. 16 Thus wrong returneth to the hurt of him in whom it bred, And all the mischief that he wrought shall fall on his own head. 17 I will give thanks to God therefore, that judgeth righteously, And with my song will praise the name of him that is most high. Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English

O God our Lord how wonderful

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 O God our Lord, how wonderful are thy works ev'ry where! Thy fame surmounts in dignity the highest heav'ns that are. 2 E'en by the mouth of sucking babes thou wilt confound thy foes; For in those babes thy might is seen, thy graces they disclose. 3 And when I see the heav'ns above, the work of thine own hand, The sun, the moon, and all the stars in order as they stand; 4 Lord what is man, that thou of him tak'st such abundant care! Or what the son of man, whom thou to visit dost not spare! 5 For thou hast made him little less than angels in degree, And thou hast also crowned him with glorious dignity. 6 Thou hast preferr'd him to be lord of all thy works, and thou Hast in subjection unto him put all things here below. 7 As sheep, and neat, and all beasts else that in the fields do feed, Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, and all that therein breed; 8 O God our Lord, how excellent is thy most glorious Name In all the earth! therefore do we praise and adore the same. Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English

What is the cause that thou, O Lord

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #X (1790) Lyrics: 1 What is the cause that thou, O Lord, so far off now dost stand? Why hidest thou thy face in time when trouble is at hand? 2 The poor do perish by the proud and wicked men's desire; Let them be taken in the craft, which they themselves conspire. 3 For in the lust of his own heart th' ungodly doth delight; So doth the wicked praise himself and doth the Lord despite. 4 He is so proud that right and wrong he setteth all apart; Nay, nay, there is no God, saith he, for thus he thinks in heart. 5 Because his ways do prosper still, he doth thy laws neglect; And with a blast doth puff against such as would him correct. 6 Tush, tush, saith he, I have no dread lest my estate should change; And why? for all adversity to him is very strange. 7 His mouth is full of cursedness, of fraud, deceit, and guile; Under his tongue there nothing is but what is base and vile. 8 He lieth hid in ways and holes to slay the innocent; Against the poor that pass by him his cruel eyes are bent. 9 And, like a lion, privily lies lurking in his den, That he may snare them in his net, and spoil poor harmless men. 10 With cunning craft and subtility he croucheth down alway; So are great heaps of poor men made by his strong pow'r a prey. The Second Part. 11 Tush, God forgetteth this, saith he, therefore I may be bold; His countenance is cast aside, he doth it not behold. 12 Arise, O Lord our God, in whom the poor man's hope doth rest; Lift up thy hand, do not forget the poor that be opprest. 13 Why should the proud and wicked man blaspheme God's holy name Whilst in his heart he crieth, Tush, God cares not for the same? 14 But thou seest all their wickedness, and well dost understand, That friendless and poor fatherless are left into thy hand. 15 Of wicked and malicious men then break the pow'r alway, That they with their iniquity may perish and decay. 16 The Lord doth reign for evermore as King and God alone, And he will chase out of the land the heathen folk each one. 17 Thou hearest, Lord, the poor's complaint, their prayer and their request; Their hearts thou wilt confirm, until thine ears to hear be prest. 18 To judge the poor and fatherless and help them to their right, That they may be no more oppress'd by men of worldly might. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English

Thou, Lord, hast been our sure defence

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XC (1790) Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, hast been our sure defence, our place of ease and rest, In all times past, yea, so long since as cannot be exprest. 2 Before was made mountain or hill, the earth and world abroad From age to age, and always still for ever thou art God. 3 Thou grindest man through grief and pain to dust or clay, and then Thou unto them dost say again, Return ye sons of men. 4 The lasting of a thousand years, what is it in thy sight? As yesterday it doth appear, or as a watch by night. 5 So soon as thou dost scatter them, then is their life and trade Ev'n as a sleep, or like the grass, whose beauty soon doth fade, 6 Which in the morning shines full bright, but fadeth suddenly, And is cut down before the night, all withered, dead, and dry. 7 For through thine anger we consume, our might is much decay'd, And of thy fervent wrath, O Lord, we are full sore afraid. 8 The wicked works, that we have wrought, thou sett'st before thy eye, Our privy faults, yea all our thoughts thy countenance doth spy. 9 For through thy wrath our days do waste, thereof doth nought remain, Our years consume as doth a blast, and are not call'd again. 10 The time of our abode on earth is threescore years and ten; But if we come to fourscore years, our life is grievous then: The Second Part. 11 For of this time the strength and chief we dote so much upon, Is nothing else but pain and grief, and we as blasts are gone. 12 What man doth know what power and what might thy anger hath? Or in his heart, who doth thee fear, according to thy wrath? 13 Instruct us, Lord, to know and try how long our days remain; That so we may our hearts apply true wisdom to attain. 14 Return, O Lord, how long wilt thou in thy great wrath proceed? Shew favour to thy servants now, and help them at their need: 15 Refresh us with thy mercy soon, then shall we joyful be; All times so long as life doth last in heart rejoice will we. 16 As thou hast plagued us before, now also make us glad, And for the years wherein full sore affliction we have had. 17 O let thy work and pow'r appear, and on thy servants light, And shew unto thy children dear thy glory and thy might: 18 Lord, let thy grace and glory stand on us thy servants thus; Confirm the works we take in hand, and prosper them to us. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English

He that within the secret place

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XCI (1790) Lyrics: 1 He that within the secret place of God most high doth dwell, Under the shadow of his grace he shall be safe and well. 2 Thou art my hope and my strong hold, I to the Lord will say; My God he is, in him will I my whole affiance stay. 3 He shall defend thee from the snare, the which the hunter laid, And from the deadly plague and care, whereof thou art afraid: 4 And with his wings shall cover thee and keep thee safely there; His faith and truth thy fence shall be as sure as shield and spear. 5 So that thou never shalt have cause to fear or be affright, For all the shafts that fly by day, or terrors of the night: 6 Nor of the plague, that privily doth walk in darkness fast, Nor yet of that which doth destroy, and at noon-day doth waste. 7 Yea, at thy side as thou dost stand, a thousand dead shall be; Ten thousand more at thy right hand, and yet shalt thou be free. 8 But thou shalt see it for thy part, thy eyes shall well regard, According unto their desert the wicked have reward. 9 For why? O Lord, I only rest and fix my hope on thee; In the most high I put my trust, my sure defense is he. 10 No evil shalt thou need to fear, with thee it shall go well: No plague shall ever once come near the house, where thou dost dwell. 11 For why? unto his angels all with charge commanded he, That still in all thy ways they shall preserve and prosper thee; 12 And in their hands shall bear thee up, still waiting thee upon, Lest that thy foot should happen for to dash against, a stone. 13 Upon the lion thou shalt go, the adder fell and long; On the young lions tread also, with dragons stout and strong. 14 Because he sets his love on me, I'll save him by my might, And him advance, because that he doth know my Name aright. 15 When he for help to me doth cry, an answer I will give; And from his grief take him will I in glory for to live. 16 With length of days and years I will him fully satisfy, And also my salvation still shew him assuredly. Scripture: Psalm 91 Languages: English

It is a thing both good and meet

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XCII (1790) Lyrics: 1 It is a thing both good and meet to praise the highest Lord, And to thy Name, O thou most High, to sing with one accord: 2 To shew the kindness of the Lord, before the day be light, And to declare his truth abroad, when it doth draw to night, 3 On a ten stringed instrument, on lute and harp so sweet, With all the mirth you can invent of instruments most meet. 4 For thou hast made me to rejoice in things so wrought by thee, That I have joy in heart and voice thy handy-works to see. 5 O Lord, how glorious and how great are thy works round about? So deeply are thy counsels set, that none can find them out: 6 The man unwise cannot tell how this work to pass to bring, And fools also are most unfit to understand this thing. 7 When as the wicked at their will like grass do spring full fast, And when they flourish in their ill, they suddenly shall waste. 8 But thou art mighty, Lord most high, and thou dost reign therefore In glory and great majesty, both now and evermore. 9 Behold, O Lord, thy enemies shall be destroy'd alway, And all that work iniquity shall perish and decay. 10 But thou, like as an unicorn shalt lift mine horn on high; With fresh and new prepared oil anointed king am I; 11 And of my foes before my eyes shall see the fall and shame, Of all that do against me rise, my ears shall hear the same. 12 The righteous flourish shall on high, as palm-trees bud and blow, And as the cedars multiply, in Libanus that grow. 13 For they are planted in the place and dwelling of our God; Within his courts they spring apace, and flourish all abroad: 14 And in their age much fruit shall bring, most pleasant to' be seen, And also shall both bud and spring with boughs and branches green; 15 To shew that God is good and just, and upright in his will: He is my rock, my hope, and trust, in him there is no ill. Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English

The Lord doth reign and cloathed is

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XCIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 The Lord doth reign, and cloathed is with majesty most bright, And to declare his strength likewise hath girt himself with might. 2 The Lord also the earth hath made, and shaped it most sure, No might can make it move or fade, at stay it doth endure. 3 Before the world was made or wrought, thy seat was set before; Beyond all time that can be thought, thou hast been evermore. 4 The floods, O Lord, the floods do rise, they roar and make a noise, The floods, I say, did enterprise, and lifted up their voice. 5 Yea, though the storms arise in sight, though seas do rage and swell, The Lord is strong and more of might; for he on high doth dwell. 6 O Lord, thy testimonies great are very sure: therefore Doth holiness become thy seat and house for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 93 Languages: English
