The Punishment of Luxury and Intemperance; or, Chastisement and Salvation

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #147 (1787) Topics: Education religious; Religious Education; Education religious; Religious Education First Line: When Israel sinn'd, the Lord reprov'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel sinn'd, the Lord reprov'd, And fill'd their hearts with dread; Yet he forgave the men he lov'd, And sent them heavenly bread. 2 He fed them with a liberal hand, And made his treasures known; He gave the midnight-clouds command To pour provision down. 3 The manna like a morning shower Lay thick around their feet; The food of heaven, so light, so pure; As though 'twere angels meat. 4 But they in murmuring language said, "Is manna all our feast? "We loathe this light, this airy bread; "We must have flesh to taste." 5 "Ye shall have flesh to please your lust," The Lord in wrath reply'd, And sent them quails like sand or dust, Heap'd up on every side. 6 He gave them all their own desire; And greedy as they fed, His vengeance burnt with secret fire, And smote the rebels dead. 7 When some were slain the rest return'd And sought the Lord with tears; Under the rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious hand The nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd land.

Then they provoke him to his face, Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain, And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march through unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days. 4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer, and their God. 5 Their prayers and vows before him rise As flattering words or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to his covenant and his love. 6 Yet could his sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserv'd to live; His anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their flesh was weak and frail, He saw temptations still prevail; The God of Abraham lov'd them still, And led them to his holy hill.

Come, magnify the Lord with me, Come, let us all exalt his name; I sought th' eternal God, and he Has not exposed my hope to shame. I told him all my secret grief, My secret groaning reached his ears; He gave my inward pains relief; And calmed the tumult of my fears. To him the poor lift up their eyes, Their faces feel the heav'nly shine; A beam of mercy from the skies Fills them with light and joy divine. His holy angels pitch their tents Around the men that serve the Lord; O fear and love him, all his saints, Taste of his grace, and trust his word. The wild young lions, pinched with pain And hunger, roar through all the wood; But none shall seek the Lord in vain, Nor want supplies of real good. Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English

The eyes of God regard his saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets his frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. To humble souls and broken hearts God with his grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope his love imparts, When men in deep contrition lie. He tells their tears, he counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His Spirit heals their broken bones, They in his praise employ their breath.
