Psalm 146
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.331 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Truth grace, and protection First Line: I'll praise my Maker with my breath Lyrics:
I'll praise my Maker with my breath,
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
Why should I make a man my trust?
Princes must die and turn to dust;
Vain is the help of flesh and blood:
Their breath departs, their pomp, and power,
And thoughts, all vanish in an hour,
Nor can they make their promise good.
Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Isr'el's God: he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train:
His truth for ever stands secure;
He saves th' oppressed, he feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He sends the lab'ring conscience peace;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the pris'ner sweet release.
He loves his saints, he knows them well,
But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns:
Let every tongue, let every age,
In this exalted work engage;
Praise him in everlasting strains.
I'll praise him while he lends me breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.

In haste, O God, attend my call
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Protection against Personal Enemies Lyrics: 1 In haste, O God, attend my call,
Nor hear my cries in vain;
O let thy speed prevent my fall,
And still my hope sustain.
2 When foes insidious wound my name,
And tempt my soul astray,
Then let them fall with lasting shame,
To their own plots a prey.
3 While all that love thy name rejoice,
And glory in thy word,
In thy salvation raise their voice,
And magnify the Lord.

Against a sinful race;
From vile oppression and deceit
Secure me by thy grace.

And am I left to mourn?
To sink in sorrows, and in vain
Implore thy kind return?
3 O send thy light to guide my feet,
And bid thy truth appear,
Conduct me to thy holy hill
And taste thy mercies there.
4 Then to thy altar, O my God,
My joyful feet shall rise,
And my triumphant songs shall praise
The God that rules the skies.

Above the heav’ns where angels dwell;
Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell.

Immortal honours to thy name;

And reaches to the utmost sky;
His truth to endless years remains,
When lower worlds dissolve and die.

Above the heav’ns, where angels dwell;
Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell. Scripture: Psalm 57 Languages: English

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CLXI (1789) Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings Thanks for National Protection Lyrics: 1 O come, let us sing to the Lord a new song,
And praise him to whom all our praises belong!

By his word were the heavens and the host of them made,
And of the round world the foundations he laid.
2 He stilleth the waves of the boisterous sea,
And the tumults of men, more outrageous than they;
Thy goodness, O Lord! let the people confess,
Whom wars do not waste, nor proud tyrants oppress,
And devoutly contemplate thy wonderful ways,
Thou who turnest the fierceness of men to thy praise!
Then our lands in due season shall yield their increase,
And the Lord give his people the blessings of peace.

Expos'd to ev'ry snare,
Come make the Lord your dwelling place,
And try and trust his care.

And sweep the wicked down to hell,

Puts him beneath your feet.

I'll save them saith the Lord:

Destruction and the sword.

In trouble I'll be nigh;
My pow'r shall help them when they fall,
And raise them when they die.

I'll honour them in heav'n;
There my salvation shall be shown,
And endless life be giv'n." Scripture: Psalm 91:11-16 Languages: English

The statutes of our King.

The New Jerusalem comes down
Adorn'd with shining Grace.

And the bright Armies sing,
Mortals, behold the sacred Seat
Of your descending King.

Removes his bless'd Abode;
Men, the dear Objects of his Grace,

From ev'ry weeping Eye,
And Pains, and Groans, and Griefs, and Fears,
And Death itself shall die.

Shall this bright Hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye Wheels of Time,
And bring the welcome Day. Scripture: Revelation 21:1-4 Languages: English
