The Lord doth reign, although at it

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord doth reign, although at it the people rage full sore; Yea, on the cherubims doth sit, though all the world do roar. 2 The Lord that doth in Sion dwell, is high and wondrous great, Above all folk he doth excel, and he aloft is set. 3 Let all men praise thy mighty Name, for it is fearful sure, And let them magnify the same, that holy is and pure. 4 The princely power of our King doth love judgment and right; Thou rightly rulest every thing in Jacob through thy might. 5 To praise the Lord our God devise, all honour to him shew; And at his footstool worship him, that holy is and true. 6 Moses, Aaron and Samuel, as priests on him did call; When they did pray he heard them well, and gave them answer all: 7 Within the cloud to them he spake, then did they labour still To keep such laws as he did make according to his will. 8 O Lord our God, thou didst them hear, and answer'dst them again; But their inventions punishedst, which foolish were and vain. 9 O praise our God and Lord therefore upon his holy hill: For why? our God whom we adore is the most holy still. Scripture: Psalm 99

O come, let us lift up our voice

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, let us lift up our voice, and sing unto the Lord, In him our rock of health rejoice let us with one accord: 2 Yea, let us come before his face to give him thanks and praise; In singing Psalms unto his grace let us be glad always. 3 For why? the Lord he is no doubt a great and mighty God, A King above all gods throughout, in all, the world abroad. 4 The secrets of the earth so deep, and corners of the land, The tops of hills, that are most steep, he holds them in his hand: 5 The sea and waters all are his, for he the same hath wrought: The earth and all that therein is his hand hath made of nought. 6 Come let us bow and praise the Lord, before him let us fall, And kneel to him with one accord, for he hath made us all. 7 For why? he is the Lord our God, for us he doth provide; We are his flock, he doth us feed, his sheep, and he our guide. 8 To-day if ye his voice will hear, then harden not your heart, As ye with grudging many a year provok'd him in desart: 9 Whereas your fathers tempted me, my power for to prove; My wondrous works when they did see, yet still they would me move. 10 Twice twenty years they did me grieve, which caused me to say, They err in heart, nor will believe, they have not known my way. 11 Wherefore I sware, when that my wrath was kindled in my breast, That they should never tread the path to enter in my rest. Scripture: Psalm 95

Sing ye with praise unto the Lord

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing ye with praise unto the Lord new songs with joy and mirth, Sing unto him with one accord, all people on the earth: 2 Yea, sing unto the Lord alway, praise ye his holy Name, Declare and shew from day to day salvation by the same. 3 Among the heathen all declare his honour round about, To shew his wonders do not spare in all the world throughout. 4 For why? the Lord is great in might, and worthy of all praise, And he is to be fear'd of right above all gods always. 5 For all the gods of heathen folk are idols that will fade, Whereas our God, he is the Lord that heav'n and earth hath made. 6 All praise and honour also dwell ever before his face; Both pow'r and might likewise excel within his holy place. 7 Ascribe unto the Lord therefore, all men, with one accord, All might and worship evermore ascribe unto the Lord: 8 Ascribe unto the Lord also the glory of his Name, Into his courts with presents go, and offer there the same. The Second Part. 9 Fall down and worship ye the Lord within his temple bright, Let all the people of the world be fearful at his sight. 10 Tell all the world, be not afraid, the Lord doth reign above, Yea, he the earth so fast hath stay'd, that it can never move: 11 And that it is the Lord alone, that rules with princely might, To judge the nations every one with equity and right. 12 The heav'ns shall joyfully begin, the earth likewise rejoice, The sea with all that is therein shall shout aud make a noise. 13 The fields shall joy, and every thing that springeth on the earth, The wood and every tree shall sing with gladness and with mirth; 14 Before the presence of the Lord, and coming of his might, When he shall come to judge the world, and rule his folk with right. Scripture: Psalm 96

The Lord doth reign for which the earth

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord doth reign, for which the earth may sing with pleasant voice, The isles also with joyful mirth may triumph and rejoice. 2 Both clouds and darkness likewise swell, and round about him beat, Yea, right and justice ever dwell and 'bide about his seat: 3 Yea, fire and heat it once do run, and go before his face, Which all his enemies shall burn abroad in every place. 4 His lightnings great full bright did blaze, and to the world appear, Whereat the earth did look and gaze with dread and deadly fear: 5 The hills like wax did melt in sight and presence of the Lord, They fled before that Ruler's might, who guideth all the world. 6 The heav'ns likewise declare and show his justice forth abroad, That all the world may see and know the glory of our God. 7 Confusion sure shall come to such as worship idols vain, Also to those who glory much dumb pictures to maintain. 8 For all the idols of the world, which they their gods do call, Shall feel the power of the Lord, and down before him fall. 9 With joy shall Sion hear this thing, and Judah shall rejoice; For at thy judgments they shall sing with a most cheerful voice. 10 For thou, O Lord, art set on high in all the earth abroad, And art exalted wondrously above each other god. 11 All ye that love the Lord in heart hate all things that are ill, For he doth keep the souls of his from such as would them spill, 12 And light doth spring up to the just, with pleasure for his part, Gladness and joy likewise to them, that are of upright heart. 13 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoice, his holiness proclaim, And thankfully with heart and voice be mindful of the same. Scripture: Psalm 97

O sing ye now unto the Lord

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing ye now unto the Lord a new and pleasant song, For he hath wrought throughout the world his wonders great and strong: 2 With his right hand full worthily he doth his foes devour, And gets himself the victory with his own arm and pow'r. 3 The Lord doth make the people know his saving health and might, And also doth his justice show in all the heathen's sight. 4 His grace and truth to Israel in mind he doth record, And all the earth hath seen right well the goodness of the Lord. 5 Be glad in him with joyful voice, all people on the earth, Give thanks to God, sing and rejoice to him with joy and mirth: 6 Upon the harp unto him sing, give thanks to him always, Rejoice before the Lord our King, with trumpets sound his praise: 7 Yea, let the sea with all therein for joy both roar and swell, The earth likewise let it begin, with all that therein dwell. 8 And let the floods rejoice their fills, and clap their hands apace; Yea, let the mountains and the hills triumph before his face. 9 For he shall come to judge and try the world and every wight, And rule the people mightily with justice and with right. Scripture: Psalm 98

In God the Lord I put my trust

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In God the Lord I put my trust, why say ye to my soul, Unto the mountains swiftly fly as doth the wing-ed fowl? 2 Behold, the wick-ed bend their bows, their arrows they prepare, To shoot in secret at those, who sincere and upright are. 3 Of worldly hope all stays were shrunk, and clearly brought to naught: Alas! the just and upright man, what evil hath he wrought? 4 But he that in his temple is most holy and most high, And in the highest heav'ns doth sit in royal majesty, 5 The poor and simple man's estate considers in his mind, And searcheth out full narrowly the manners of mankind; 6 And with a cheerful countenance the righteous man will use, But in his heart he doth abhor all such as mischief muse; 7 And on the sinners casteth snares as thick as hail or rain, Brimstone and fire, and whirlwinds great, appointed for their pain. 8 Ye see then how a righteous God doth righteousness embrace, And unto just and upright men shows forth his pleasant face. Scripture: Psalm 11

Help. Lord. for good and godly men

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for good and godly men do perish and decay, And faith and truth from worldly men is parted clean away. 2 Whoso doth with his neighbour talk, 'tis all but vainty; For ev'ry man bethinketh how to speak deceitfully. 3 But flatt'ring and deceitful lips, and tongues that be so stout To speak proud words and make great brags, the Lord will soon cut out. 4 For they say still, We will prevail, our lips shall us extol; Our tongues are ours, we ought to speak; what lord shall us controul? 5 But for the great complaint and cry of those that are opprest, I will arise now, saith the Lord, and them restore to rest. 6 God's word is like to silver pure, that from the dross is try'd, Which hath not less than seven times n the fire been purify'd. 7 Now since thy promise is to help, Lord, keep thy promise then, And save us not and evermore from this ill kind of men. 8 For now the wicked world if full of mischiefs manifold, Whilst vanity with worldly men so highly is extoll'd. Scripture: Psalm 12

How long wilt thou forget me Lord?

Author: T. S. Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me, Lord? shall it for ever be? How long dost thou intend to hide thy face away from me? 2 In heart and mind how long shall I with care tormented be? And how long shall my deadly foe thus triumph over me? 3 Behold me now, O Lord my God, and hear me sore oppress'd; Lighten my eyes, lest I do sleep as one by death possess'd: 4 Lest that my enemy do say, Behold, I do prevail; Lest they also that hate my soul rejoice to see me fail. 5 But from thy mercy and goodness my hope shall not depart; In thy relief and saving health right glad shall be my heart. 6 I will give thanks unto the Lord, and praises to him sing; Because he hath heard my request for ev'ry needful thing. Scripture: Psalm 13

There is no God, do foolish men

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is no God, do foolish men affirm in their mad mood; Their drifts are all corrupt and vain, not one of them doth good. 2 The Lord beheld from heaven most high the whole race of mankind, And saw not one that sought indeed the living God to find. 3 They went all wide and were corrupt, and truly there was none, That in the world did any good, no, not so much as one. 4 Is all their judgment so far lost, that all work mischief still, Eating my people ev'n as bread, not one to seek God's will? 5 When they thus rage, then suddenly great fear on them shall fall, For God doth love the righteous men and will preserve them all. 6 Ye mock the doings of the poor, to their reproach and shame, Because they put their trust in God, and call upon his name. 7 But who shall give thy people health? and when wilt thou fulfill Thy promise made to Israel from out of Sion hill? 8 For when thou shalt restore again such as were captive led, Then Jacob shall therein rejoice, and Israel be glad. Scripture: Psalm 14

The heav'ns and firmament on high

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns and firmament on high do wondrously declare God's glory and omnipotence, his works and what they are. 2 The wondrous works of God appear by ev'ry day's success, The nights likewise which their race run the self-same thing express. 3 There is no language, tongue, or speech, where their sound is not heard; In all the earth and coasts thereof their knowledge is conferr'd. 4 In them the Lord made for the sun a place of great renown, who like a bridegroom ready trimm'd comes from his chamber down; 5 And as a valiant champion, who would to honour rise, With joy doth haste to take in hand some noble enterprize: 6 And all the sky from end to end he compasseth about; Nothing can hide if from his heat, but he will find it out. 7 How perfect is the law of God! his covenant is sure, Converting souls, and making wise the simple and obscure. 8 The Lord's commands are righteous, and rejoice the heart likewise; His precepts are most pure, and do give light unto the eyes. 9 The fear of God is excellent, and ever doth endure; The judgments of the Lord also, most righteous are and pure; 10 And more to be desired are than much fine gold alway; The honey and the honey-comb are not so sweet as they. 11 By them thy servant is forewarn'd to have God in regard, And in performance of the same there shall be great reward. 12 But, Lord! what earthly man doth know the errors of his life? Then cleanse me from my secret sins, which are in me most rife: 13 And keep me that presumptuous sins prevail not over me; And so shall I be innocent, and great offences flee. 14 Accept my mouth and heart also, my words and thoughts each one; For my Redeemer and my strength, O Lord, thou art alone. Scripture: Psalm 19
