Bless'd be the everlasting God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 189 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 Lyrics: Blest be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy praised, His majesty adored. When from the dead he raised his Son, And called him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. What though our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust, Yet as the Lord our Savior rose, So all his followers must. There's an inheritance divine Reserved against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled, And cannot waste away. Saints by the power of God are kept Till the salvation come; We walk by faith as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home. Topics: Deliverance from temptation; Satan subdued; Afflictions hope in them; Complaint desertion; Complaint of temptation; Desertion and distress of soul; Hope in darkness; Love to our neighbor; Temptations of the devil

All mortal vanities, begone

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 Lyrics: All mortal vanities, begone, Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears; Behold, amidst th' eternal throne, A vision of the Lamb appears. [Glory his fleecy robe adorns, Marked with the bloody death he bore; Seven are his eyes, and seven his horns, To speak his wisdom and his power. Lo! he receives a sealed book From him that sits upon the throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark decrees and things unknown.] All the assembling saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new songs of gospel sound Address their honors to his name. [The Joy, the shout, the harmony, Flies o'er the everlasting hills "Worthy art thou alone," they cry, To read the book, to loose the seals."] Our voices join the heav'nly strain, And with transporting pleasure sing, "Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King!" His words of prophecy reveal Eternal counsels, deep designs; His grace and vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful lines. Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell With thine invaluable blood; And wretches that did once rebel Are now made fav'rites of their God. Worthy for ever is the Lord, That died for treasons not his own, By every tongue to be adored, And dwell upon his Father's throne!

Shall not he hear, who formed the ear, and judge, who reigneth, God Most High? 4 The Lord will judge in righteousness, from him all truth and knowledge flow; the foolish thoughts of wicked men, how vain they are the Lord doth know. 5 That man is blest whom thou, O Lord, with chast'ning hand dost teach thy will, for in the day when sinners fall, that man in peace abideth still. 6 Unless the Lord had been my help, my life had quickly passed away; but when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, thy mercy was my stay.
