Israel's Rebellion and Punishment; or, the sins and Chastisements of God's People

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Education religious; Religious Education; Education religious; Religious Education First Line: Oh what a stiff rebellious house Lyrics: 1 Oh what a stiff rebellious house Was Jacob's antient race! False to their own most solemn vows, And to their Maker's grace. 2 They broke the covenant of his love, And did his laws despise, Forgot the works he wrought to prove His power before their eyes. 3 They saw the plagues on Egypt light From his avenging hand: What dreadful tokens of his might Spread o'er the stubborn land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty sea, And march'd in safety through, With watery walls to guard their way, 'Till they had 'scap'd the foe. 5 A wondrous pillar mark'd the road, Compos'd of shade and light; By day it prov'd a sheltering cloud, A leading fire by night. 6 He from the rock their thirst supply'd; The gushing waters flow'd, And ran in rivers by their side, Along the desert road. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most high, And dar'd distrust his hand; "Can he with bread our host supply "Amidst this desert land?" 8 The Lord with indignation heard, And caus'd his wrath to flame: His terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his name. Scripture: Psalm 78

"We loathe this light, this airy bread; "We must have flesh to taste." 5 "Ye shall have flesh to please your lust," The Lord in wrath reply'd, And sent them quails like sand or dust, Heap'd up on every side. 6 He gave them all their own desire; And greedy as they fed, His vengeance burnt with secret fire, And smote the rebels dead. 7 When some were slain the rest return'd And sought the Lord with tears; Under the rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious hand The nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd land. Scripture: Psalm 78

How richly bless'd their portion is, Who make the Lord their trust! 8 Young lions pinch's with hunger roar, And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10
