Why Did the Jews Proclaim Their Rage?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? The Romans, why their swords employ? Against the Lord their powers engage, His dear Anointed to destroy? 2. Come, let us break his bands, they say; This man shall never give us laws: And thus they cast His yoke away, And nailed the monarch to the cross. 3. But God, who high in glory reigns, Laughs at their pride, their rage controls; He’ll vex their hearts with inward pains, And speak in thunder to their souls. 4. I will maintain the king I made On Zion’s everlasting hill; My hand shall bring Him from the dead, And He shall stand your sovereign still. 5. His wondrous rising from the earth Makes His eternal Godhead known; The Lord declares His heav’nly birth— “This day I have begot My Son. 6. Ascend, My Son, to My right hand, There Thou shalt ask, and I bestow, The utmost bounds of heathen lands; To Thee the northern isles shall bow. 7. But nations that resist His grace Shall fall beneath His iron stroke; His rod shall crush His foes with ease, As potters’ earthen work is broke. 8. Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb; Now at His feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at His name. 9. With humble love address the Son, Lest He grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, If ye provoke His jealousy. 10. His storms shall drive you quick to hell; He is a God, and ye but dust; Happy the souls that know Him well, And make His grace their only trust.

Each day we live the Christian life

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895; McCaughan; James Alexander, b. 1954 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Each day we live the Christian life we're sorely tried — without, within; but God the Spirit gives us strength to wage a constant war with sin. 2 It's in our weakness that we find He gives the help we greatly need to honour Christ in all our ways, as from the power of sin we're freed. 3 When deep within our swelling hearts the thoughts of pride and envy rise, when bitter words are on our tongues and tears of passion in our eyes, 4 He helps us keep our self-control; sends grace to check the hasty word; give gentle answers back again and fight a battle for our Lord. 5 So far as it depends on us, we'll live in peace as Christians should; we'll not be overcome by wrong, but overcome all wrong with good. 6 All His disciples on this earth have their own painful cross to take but, in the Holy Spirit's power, we'll live our lives for Jesus' sake.
