Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #24 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflicted and tempted, supported Lyrics: Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heav'nly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing. God reigns on high, but not confines His goodness to the skies; Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy lib'ral hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths with good. How kind are thy compassions, Lord! How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pard'ning word To cheer the souls he loves. Creatures with all their endless race Thy power and praise proclaim; But saints that taste thy richer grace Delight to bless thy name. Scripture: Psalm 145:7-21 Languages: English

Let every tongue thy goodness speak

When sorrow bows the spirit down, Or virtue lies distressed Beneath some proud oppressor's frown, Thou giv'st the mourners rest. The Lord supports our tott'ring days, And guides our giddy youth; Holy and just are all his ways, And all his words are truth. He knows the pains his servants feel, He hears his children cry, And their best wishes to fulfil, His grace is ever nigh. His mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere; He saves the souls whose humble love Is joined with holy fear. [His stubborn foes his sword shall slay, And pierce their hearts with pain But none that serve the Lord shall say, "They sought his aid in vain."] [My lips shall dwell upon his praise, And spread his fame abroad; Let all the sons of Adam raise The honors of their God.] Scripture: Psalm 145:17-21 Languages: English

Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #35 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Afflicted and tempted, supported Lyrics: Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join In work so pleasant, so divine; Now, while the flesh is mine abode, And when my soul ascends to God. Praise shall employ my noblest powers, While immortality endures; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last. Why should I make a man my trust? Princes must die and turn to dust; Their breath departs, their pomp, and power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour. Happy the man whose hopes rely On Isr'el's God; he made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train, And none shall find his promise vain. His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th' oppressed, he feeds the poor; He sends the lab'ring conscience peace, And grants the pris'ner sweet release. The Lord hath eyes to give the blind; The Lord supports the sinking mind; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless. He loves his saints, he knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell: Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns; Praise him in everlasting strains. Scripture: Psalm 146 Languages: English

Now plead my Cause, Almighty God

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P35a (1766) Topics: Afflicted pity to them Lyrics: 1 Now plead my Cause, Almighty God, With all the Sons of Strife; And fight against the Men of Blood, Who fight against my Life. 2 Draw out thy Spear and stop their Way, Lift thine avenging Rod; But to my Soul in Mercy say, "I am thy Saviour God!" 3 They plant their Snares to catch my Feet, And Nets of Mischief spread; Plunge the Destroyers in the Pit That their own Hands have made. 4 Let Fogs and Darkness hide their Way, And slippery be their Ground; Thy Wrath shall make their Lives a Prey, And all their Rage confound. 5 They fly like Chaff before the Wind, Before thine angry Breath; The Angel of the Lord behind Pursues them down to Death. 6 They love the Road that leads to Hell; Then let the Rebels die, Whose Malice is implacable Against the Lord on high. 7 But if thou hast a chosen Few Amongst that impious Race; Divide them from the bloody Crew By thy surprizing Grace. 8 Then will I raise my tuneful Voice, To make thy Wonders known; In their Salvation I'll rejoice, And bless thee for my own. Scripture: Psalm 35:1-9 Languages: English
