Prayer and Praise for eminent Deliverance

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #61b (1740) Topics: Tongue governed First Line: I'll bless the Lord from Day to Day Lyrics: 1 I'll bless the Lord from Day to Day; How good are all his Ways! Ye humble Souls that use to pray, Come, help my Lips to praise. 2 Sing to the Honour of his Name, How a poor Suff'rer cry'd, Nor was his Hope expos'd to Shame, Nor was his Suit deny'd. 3 When threat'ning Sorrows round me stood, And endless Fears arose, Like the loud Billows of a Flood, Redoubling all my Woes; 4 I told the Lord my sore Distress, With heavy Groans and Tears; He gave my sharpest Torments ease, And silenc'd all my Fears. Pause: 5 [O Sinners, come and taste his Love, Come, learn his pleasant Ways, And let your own Experience prove The Sweetness of his Grace. 6 He bids his Angels pitch their Tents Round where his Children dwell; What Ills their heav'nly Care prevents No earthly Tongue can tell.] [7 O love the Lord, ye Saints of his; His Eye regards the Just; How richly blest their Portion is Who make the Lord their Trust! 8 Young Lions, pinch'd with Hunger roar And famish in the Wood; But GOD supplies his holy Poor With ev'ry needful Good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English

When my soul is overwhelmed and resilience disappears, lead me to your high retreat, secure above all my fears. 2 Still be there to shelter me when accusers threaten harm— in the refuge of your strength let your presence keep me calm. In your sanctuary safe from attacks and buffetings let me, like a fledgling, rest in comfort under your wings. 3 God, you raised your Son from death, Christ whose kingdom shall endure, and because he gives me life my inheritance is sure. May your faithful tender love that restores us and sustains draw unending thanks and praise from hearts where Jesus now reigns. Scripture: Psalm 61 Languages: English Tune Title: THINE

The Vanity of Man as mortal

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #72a (1740) Topics: Tongue governed First Line: Teach me the Measure of my Days Lyrics: 1 Teach me the Measure of my Days, Thou Maker of my Frame; I would survey Life's narrow Space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A Span is all that we can boast, An Inch or two of Time; Man is but Vanity and Dust In all his Flow'r and Prime. 3 See the vain Race of Mortals move Like Shadows o'er the Plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the Noise is vain. 4 Some walk in Honour's gaudy Show, Some dig for golden Ore, They toil for Heirs they know not who, And strait are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then From Creatures, Earth and Dust? They make our Expectations vain, And disappoint our Trust. 6 Now I forbid my carnal Hope, My fond Desires recal; I give my mortal Int'rest up, And make my GOD my All.

But I am dumb before thy Throne, Nor dare dispute thy Will. 2 Diseases are thy Servants, Lord, They come at thy Command; I'll not attempt a murm'ring Word, Against thy chast'ning Hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble Cries, Remove thy sharp Rebukes; My Strength consumes, my Spirit dies, Through thy repeated Strokes. 4 Crush'd as a Moth beneath thy Hand, We moulder to the Dust; Our feeble Pow'rs can ne'er withstand, And all our Beauty's lost. 5 [This mortal Life decays apace, How soon the Bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous Race Are Vanity and Smoke.] 6 I'm but a Sojourner below, As all my Fathers were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the Summons hear! 7 But if my Life be spar'd a while, Before my last Remove, Thy Praise shall be my Business still, And I'll declare thy Love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13 Languages: English

The Lord, how fearful is his name!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #72 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! Nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst, with a smile or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His Sov'reign eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 4 His bowels to our worthless race In sweet compassion move; He clothes his looks with softest grace, And takes his title, love. 5 Now, let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain We are his fav'rites still. 6 No more shall peevish passion rise; The tongue no more complain; 'Tis Sov'reign Love that lends our joys, And love resumes again.
