A Summons to Joyful Worship

Hymnal: The Psalter #222 (1912) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Now to God, our Strength and Saviour Lyrics: 1 Now to God, our Strength and Saviour, Render praise and loudly sing; In our fathers' God rejoicing, All your noblest music bring. 2 Let the trumpet, far resounding, This our festal day proclaim, By our fathers' God appointed, When from bondage Israel came. 3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens, When thou calledst, set thee free, Proved thee in the thirsty desert, In the thunder answered thee. 4 O My people, hear My pleadings; O that thou wouldst hearken now; No strange worship shalt thou offer, Nor to idols shalt thou bow. 5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee, And from cruel bondage freed; Open wide thy mouth of longing; I will satisfy thy need. 6 But My people would not hearken, Yea, they would not yield to Me; So I left them in their blindness, Their own counselors to be. 7 If My people would obey me, Gladly walking in My ways, Soon would I, their foes subduing, Fill their lips with songs of praise. 8 All the haters of Jehovah Shall His clemency implore, And the days of those that love Him Shall endure for evermore. 9 Yea, with wheat the very finest I their hunger will supply, Bid the very rocks yield honey That shall fully satisfy.

Praise Ye the Lord, for He is Good

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #223 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength He came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine.

Their God and Savior They Forgot

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #224 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Their God and Savior they forgot, Their Helper and their Stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, He heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel His people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim, That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Thro' ages shall Thy wrath survive? Wilt Thou not us again revive, That so we may rejoice in Thee? 3 O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly's path to stray.

Covenant Faithfulness

Hymnal: The Psalter #243 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL

Pardoning Grace

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #243 (1740) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned First Line: From deep Distress and trouble Thoughts Lyrics: 1 From deep Distress and troubled Thoughts. To thee, my GOD, I rais'd my Cries; If thou severely mark our Faults, No flesh can stand before thine Eyes. 2 But Thou hast built thy Throne of Grace Free to dispense thy Pardons there, That Sinners may approach thy Face, And hope and love, as well as fear. 3 As the benighted Pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for breaking Day, So waits my Soul before thy Gate; When will my GOD his Face display? 4 My Trust is fix'd upon thy Word, Nor shall I trust thy Word in vain; Let mourning Souls address the Lord, And find Relief from all their Pain. 5 Great is his Love, and large his Grace, Through the Redemption of his Son; He turns our Feet from sinful Ways, And pardons what our Hands have done.
