Mortality and Hope; A Funeral Psalm
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #156 (1740) Topics: God Unchangeable First Line: Remember, Lord, our mortal State Lyrics: 1 Remember, Lord, our mortal State,
How frail our Life, how short the Date!
Where is the Man that draws his Breath
Safe from Disease, secure from Death?
2 Lord, while we see whole Nations die,
Our Flesh and Sense repine and cry,
"Must Death for ever rage and reign!
"Or hast thou made Mankind in vain?"
3 Where is thy Promise to the Just?
Are not thy Servants turn'd to Dust?
But Faith forbids these mournful Sighs,
And sees the sleeping Dust arise.
4 That glorious Hour, that dreadful Day,
Wipes the Reproach of Saints away,
And clears the Honour of thy Word:
Awake our Souls, and bless the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52 Languages: English
Mortality and Hope; A Funeral Psalm
Life, Death, and the Resurrection
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #157 (1740) Topics: God Unchangeable First Line: Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man Lyrics: 1 Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man;
How few his Hours! how short his Span!
Short from the Cradle to the Grave'
Who can secure his vital Breath
Against the bold Demands of Death,
With Skill to fly, or Pow'r to save?
2 Lord, shall it be for ever said,
"The Race of Man was only made
"For Sickness, Sorrow, and the dust!"
Are not thy Servants, Day by Day,
Sent to their Graves, and turn'd to Clay?
Lord, where's thy Kindness to the Just?
3 Has thou not promis'd to thy Son
And all his Seed a heav'nly Crown?
But Flesh and Sense indulge Despair;
For ever blessed be the Lord,
That Faith can read his holy Word,
And find a Resurrection there.
4 For ever blessed be the Lord,
Who gives his Saints a long Reward
For all their Toil, Reproach and Pain;
Let all below, and all above,
Join to proclaim thy wond'rous Love,
And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52 Languages: English

God's Conduct of Israel, and the Plagues of Egypt
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #186 (1786) Topics: Covenant of Grace unchangeable; Egypt's Plagues; Faithfulness Of God; God Faithfulness; Israel saved from Egypt and brought to Canaan; Mercies and Truth of God; Covenant of Grace unchangeable; Egypt's Plagues; Faithfulness Of God; God Faithfulness; Israel saved from Egypt and brought to Canaan; Mercies and Truth of God First Line: Give thanks to God, invoke his name Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, invoke his name,
And tell the world his grace;
Sound through the earth his deeds of fame,
That all may seek his face.
2 His covenant which he kept in mind
For numerous ages past,
To numerous ages yet behind
In equal force shall last.
3 He swore to Abraham and his seed,
And made the blessings sure:
Gentiles the ancient promise read,
And find his truth endure.
4 "Thy seed shall make all nations blest,
(Said the Almighty voice)
"And Canaan's land shall be their rest,
"The type of heavenly joys.
5 [How large the grant! how rich the grace!
To give them Canaan's land,
When they were strangers in the place,
A small and feeble band!
6 Like pilgrims through the countries round
Securely they remov'd:
And haughty kings that on them frown'd
Severely he reprov'd.
7 "Touch mine anointed, and mine arm
"Shall soon avenge the wrong:
"The man that does my prophets harm
Shall know their God is strong."
8 Then let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Pause I.
9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints,
And thus provok'd their God,
Moses was sent at their complaints,
Arm'd with his dreadful rod.
10 He call'd for darkness: darkness came
Like an o'erwhelming flood;
He turn'd each lake and every stream
To lakes and streams of blood.
11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies
Through the whole country spread;
And frogs in baleful armies rise
About the monarch's bed.
12 Through fields and towns and palaces
The tenfold vengeance flew;
Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees
And hail their cattle slew.
13 Then by an Angel's midnight stroke
The flower of Egypt dy'd;
The strength of every house was broke,
Their glory and their pride.
14 Now let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Pause II.
15 Thus were the tribes from bondage freed,
And left the hated ground;
Rich with Egyptian spoils they fled,
Nor was one feeble found.
16 The Lord himself chose out their way,
And mark'd their journies right,
Gave them a leading cloud by day,
A fiery guide by night.
17 They thirst; and waters from the rock
In rich abundance flow,
And following still the course they took
Ran all the desert through.
18 O wondrous stream! O blessed type
Of ever-flowing grace!
So Christ our rock maintains our life
And aids our wandering race.
19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand,
The chosen tribes possest
Canaan the rich, the promis'd land,
And there enjoy'd their rest.
20 Then let the world forbear its rage,
The church renounce her fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care. Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English

While rocks with rivers flow;
Now with their lusts provoke the Lord,
And he reduc'd them low.

He hearken'd to their groans;
Brought his own covenant to his thoughts,
And call'd them still his sons.

He sav'd them from their foes;
Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook
The people that he chose.

Who lov'd their ancient race;
And Christians join the solemn word,
