Israel punish'd and pardon'd; or, God's unchangeable Love

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #193a (1740) Topics: Love of God unchangeable First Line: God of eternal Love Lyrics: 1 God of eternal Love, How fickle are our Ways! And yet how oft did Isr'el prove Thy constancy of Grace! 2 They saw thy Wonders wrought, And then thy Praise they sung; But soon thy Works of Pow'r forgot, And murmur'd with their Tongue. 3 Now they believe his Word While Rocks with Rivers flow; Now with their Lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 4 Yet when they mourn'd their Faults, He hearken'd to their Groans, Brought his own Cov'nant to his Thoughts, And call'd 'em still his Sons. 5 Their Names were in his Book, He sav'd 'em from their Foes Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The People that he chose. 6 Let Isr'el bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient Race: And Christians join the solemn Word, Amen, to all the Praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:7-8 Languages: English

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.
