Dear Lord, behold our sore distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: Dear Lord! behold our sore distress; Our sins attempt to reign; Stretch out thine arm of conquering grace, And let thy foes be slain. [The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye?] If thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior's blood; An Advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. He brought the Spirit's powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath thy word, And hell in vain oppose. How boundless is our Father's grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength.

That blessed Gospel we are taught

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1 That blessed Gospel we are taught, Can prove the Saviour's pow'r; The miracles that Jesus wrought, Were never wrought before. 2 A ruler's daughter as we read, A lifeless corpse had lay'n; But Jesus who can raise the dead, Rais'd her to life again. 3 Princes and rulers of this earth, Who raise their honours high; Like others of the meanest birth, They all are born to die. 4 These things are scarcely ever thought, Or ever cause a tear; Until the greatest part are brought, To lie upon the bier. 5 When troubles, sorrows and distress Beset the greatest men; Then they will seek the Saviour's face To be reliev'd again. 6 Distress will make us seek the Lord, If ne'er we did before; And search the counsels of his word, His love, his grace and pow'r. 7 But O, his love to man is great, His gifts are ne'er withheld; He helps each one in ev'ry state, Who to his precepts yield.

In Judah, God's most clearly known

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1. In Judah's God's most clearly known; In Isr'el, great is his Renown. 2. His sacrcd Tent's in Salem plac'd; And Sion's with his Dwelling grac'd. 3. Thou break'st the Arrow, Bow, and Shield, The Sword, and Battle in the Field. 4. Thy Glory shines with brighter Ray, Excelling far the Mounts of Prey. 5. The stout of Heart are wholly spoil'd; Death, in their Sleep, has them beguil'd; And none of all their braved Bands, Could find the Vigour of their Hands. 6. When Jacob's God, in Anger, frown'd, Chariot, and Horse, in Heap were drown'd. 7. Thou, thou alone, demand'st our Fear; Who can thine angry Presence bear? 8. Thou mad'st, from Heav'n, thy Judgments heard; The Earth stood still, and greatly fear'd. 9. When God, to save the Meek arose, And scatter'd Judgments on his Foes. 10. Man's Wrath shall Praises to Thee gain; The Residue thou shalt restrain. 11. Vow then, and pay, to God, your King; Let all fear him, and Presents bring. 12. From Princes he cuts off their Breath, By an avenging Stroke of Death; He, to the mighty Kings on Earth, Dispenseth Terrors, in his Wrath.

To fancied gods while all the nations bend

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1 To fancied gods while all the nations bend, Our faithful tribes th' almighty Lord attend; In Judah is his pow'r, his glory known; 2 Salem's his temple, Sion is his throne. 3 'Twas here he broke the sword, the shaft, the spear; And all the deadly implements of war. 4 What bright majestic terror round him shone, When he earth's mighty tyrants tumbled down? 5 Struck by his pow'r, they fell an easy prey; Sunk in eternal deep their eyes, they lay. 6 Vain was the chariot, useless was the steed; Trembled at his rebuke their hearts with dread. 7 And just their fear, for who his wrath can stand? Who dare the thunder of his vengeful hand? 8 Did not, when he, in majesty array'd, Came down, propitious, to his servant's aid? Did not high heav'n the awful sentence hear? Was not th' astonish'd earth struck mute with fear? 10 His punishments, that on oppressors fall, Rejoice the good, the impious soul appall. 11 Ye tribes, that round his sacred temple dwell, Your victims offer, and his praises tell; 12 Vow to your God, who, dreadful in his wrath, Humbles the haughty monarchs of the earth.
