When God restor'd our captive state

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: National deliverance Lyrics: When God restored our captive state, Joy was our song, and grace our theme; The grace beyond our hopes so great That joy appeared a painted dream. The scoffer owns thy hand, and pays Unwilling honors to thy name; While we with pleasure shout thy praise, With cheerful notes thy love proclaim. When we review our dismal fears, 'Twas hard to think they'd vanish so; With God we left our flowing tears, He makes our joys like rivers flow. The man that in his furrowed field His scattered seed with sadness leaves, Will shout to see the harvest yield A welcome load of joyful sheaves. Scripture: Psalm 126

When God reveal'd his gracious name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Topics: National deliverance Lyrics: When God revealed his gracious name, And changed my mournful state, My rapture seemed a pleasing dream, The grace appeared so great. The world beheld the glorious change, And did thy hand confess; My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace. "Great is the work," my neighbors cried, And owned the power divine; "Great is the work," my heart replied, "And be the glory thine." The Lord can clear the darkest skies, Can give us day for night; Make drops of sacred sorrow rise To rivers of delight. Let those that sow in sadness wait Till the fair harvest come, They shall confess their sheaves are great, And shout the blessings home. Though seed lie buried long in dust, It shan't deceive their hope; The precious grain can ne'er be lost, For grace insures the crop. Scripture: Psalm 126

While o'er our guilty land, O Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of thy sword, O whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to thine ears: Oft has thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 On thee our guardian God we call-- Before thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliverance there? And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn-- To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country--spare The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace, indulgent God; We plead thy Son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises.-- And are they unavailing pleas? 6 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down, On guilty lands in helpless woe: Let them prevail to save us too. Scripture: Amos 3:1-6

Had not the Lord, may Israel say

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say, Had not the Lord maintain'd our side, When men, to make our lives a prey, Rose like the swelling of the tide; 2 The swelling tide had stopt our breath, So fiercely did the waters roll, We had been swallow'd up in death; Proud waters had o'erwhelmed our soul. 3 For ever blessed be the Lord, Who broke the fowlers' deadly snare; Who sav'd us from the threat'ning sword, And made our lives his watchful care. 4 Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who form'd the earth and built the skies; Who still upholds all nature's frame And guards his church with watchful eyes.
