Hymnal: The Psalter #96 (1912) Topics: Contentment First Line: Rest in the Lord and be thou still Lyrics: 1 Rest in the Lord and be thou still, With patience wait His holy will, Enduring to the end. Fret not tho' sinners' gains increase; forsake thy wrath, from anger cease; It will to evil tend. 2 The evildoer soon shall die, But those that on the Lord rely Shall all the land obtain; A little while and thou shalt see That wicked men cut off shall be, They shall be sought in vain. 3 Yea, thou shalt soon consider well The place where they were wont to dwell, And it shall not be found; But saints shall all the land possess, And find delight and happiness where fruits of peace abound. 4 The vile may plot against the just who in the Lord Jehovah trust, But God will scorn them all; The Lord their coming day shall see, When broken all their pow'r shall be, And ruin on them fall. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSTON

Well-Doing and Well-Being

Hymnal: The Psalter #97 (1912) Topics: Contentment First Line: A little that the righteous hold Lyrics: 1 A little that the righteous hold Is better far than wealth untold Of many wicked men; Destroyed shall be their arm of pride, But they who in the Lord confide Shall be upholden then. 2 He knows the days the perfect live, To them a heritage will give Which ever shall abide; In evil times no shame they know, And in the days of famine's woe They shall be satisfied. 3 Although the wicked prospered seem, At last they vanish like a dream And perish in a day; Jehovah's foes shall soon appear Like fields once fair, now brown and sere; Like smoke they fade away. 4 They borrow oft and pay not back, But righteous men do nothing lack, And give with gracious hand; Those cursed by Him shall be destroyed, But such as have His grace enjoyed, They shall possess the land. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: GANGES

His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray.

The Righteous and the Evil-Doer

Hymnal: The Psalter #99 (1912) Topics: Contentment First Line: The wicked, watching for their prey Lyrics: 1 The wicked, watching for their prey, Desire the righteous man to slay, But God is on his side; He will not leave him in their hands, Nor count him guilty when he stands In judgment to be tried. 2 Wait on the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt thee, nor delay To give the land to thee; And when the wicked are cut off, The wicked who against thee scoff, Their judgment thou shalt see. 3 The wicked in great pow'r are seen, Like spreading tree with foliage green That grows in native ground. I looked again, they were no more; I sought the men so proud before, But they could not be found. 4 Mark thou the upright day by day, Behold the perfect in his way; His journey ends in peace. Destroyed at once shall rebels be; Cut off from all posterity, Their very name shall cease. 5 Salvation is from God, alone, Whom as their covert saints have known When by sore troubles tried; The Lord Who helped in troubles past Will save them to the very last, For they in Him confide. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: RAPTURE
