Unshaken as the sacred Hill

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P125a (1766) Topics: Afflicted moderated; Grace tried by afflictions Lyrics: 1 Unshaken as the sacred Hill, And firm as Mountains be, Firm as a Rock the Soul shall rest That leans, O Lord, on Thee. 2 Not Walls nor Hills could guard so well Old Salem's happy Ground, As those eternal Arms of Love That ev'ry Saint surround. 3 While Tyrants are a smarting Scourge To drive them near to GOD, Divine Compassion does allay The Fury of the Rod. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with Souls sincere, And lead them safely on To the bright Gates of Paradise, Where Christ their Lord is gone. 5 But if we trace those crooked Ways That the old Serpent drew, The Wrath that drove him first to Hell Shall smite his Followers too.

Firm and unmov'd are they

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P125b (1766) Topics: Afflicted moderated; Grace tried by afflictions Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmov'd are they That rest their Souls on GOD; Firm as the Mount where David dwelt, Or where the Ark abode. 2 As Mountains stood to guard The City's sacred Ground, So GOD, and his Almighty Love, Embrace his Saints around. 3 What though the Father's Rod Drop a chastising Stroke, Yet lest it wound their Souls too deep, Its Fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose Faith and pious Fear, Whose Hope, and Love, and ev'ry Grace, Proclaim their Hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the Tyrant's Rage Too long oppress the Saint; The GOD of Isr'el will support His Children, lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish Fear Will chuse the Road to Hell, We must expect our Portion there, Where bolder Sinners dwell.

What vain desires and passions vain

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #177 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflictions very great; Afflicted their prayer Lyrics: What vain desires and passions vain Attend this mortal clay! Oft have they pierced my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. How have I wandered from my God! And, following sin and shame, In this vile world of flesh and blood Defiled my nobler frame! For ever blessed be thy grace That formed my soul anew, And made it of a heav'n-born race, Thy glory to pursue. My spirit holds perpetual war, And wrestles and complains; But views the happy moment near That shall dissolve its chains. Cheerful in death I close my eyes To part with every lust; And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, To leave them in the dust. My purer spirit shall not fear To put this body on; Its tempting powers no more are there, Its lusts and passions gone! Scripture: Romans 8:1 Languages: English

The Church in Trial

Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep, The sheep of Thy own fold, The sheep of Thy own fold? 2 Remember Thy inheritance, Thy Church, redeemed by grace; Remember Zion's mount profaned, Thy ancient dwelling-place, Thy ancient dwelling-place. 3 In ruin long Thy temple lies; Arise, O God of grace; And see the ruin foes have wrought Within Thy holy place, Within Thy holy place. 4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high The standards of the foe, And impious hands with axe and fire Have laid Thy temple low, Have laid Thy temple low. 5 They have profaned the holy place Where Thou hast set thy Name, The sanctuaries of our God Are given to the flame, Are given to the flame. 6 We see no signs of power divine, No prophet speaks for Thee, And none can tell, and none can know, How long these woes shall be, How long these woes shall be. 7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy And shame reproach our land? Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes With Thy almighty hand, With Thy almighty hand? 8 O God, Thou art our King of old, Salvation Thou hast wrought; In safety through the mighty sea Our fathers Thou hast brought, Our fathers Thou hast brought. 9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy The pride of boastful man, And for Thy people made a path Where mighty waters ran, Where mighty waters ran. 10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night, And Thine the shining sun; At Thy command earth's bounds are set And changing seasons run, And changing seasons run. 11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord, Against Thee proudly speak; Preserve Thy saints from wicked men, Be mindful of the meek, Be mindful of the meek. 12 Fulfill, o Lord, Thy covenant, Our strong protector be, For in the earth are dark abodes Of crime and cruelty, Of crime and cruelty. 13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame, No longer in Thy sight Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves; Lord, vindicate the right, Lord, vindicate the right.

Come Thou, O God, to save us and restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer? For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears, And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share; The nations round us mock with scornful jeers. O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land; The nations were thrust out to give it room; It took deep root, it spread on ev'ry hand, The hills were covered with its shade and bloom; Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide; They reached the sea, its roots the riverside. 4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall That they may pluck who pass along the way? Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all And feed upon Thy vine by night and day. O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand, The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine, For it is burned with fire, no more to stand; Thy people perish in Thy anger sore Because Thy face now shines on them no more. 6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain, The son of man Thou madest strong to be; So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain; Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee. Jehovah, God of Hosts, again restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. Scripture: Psalm 80 Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN
