The Exaltation and universal Reign of CHRIST

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Why do the tribes and nations rage Lyrics: 1 Why do the tribes and nations rage And form a vain design? Kings of the earth do set themselves and princes plotting join, Against JEHOVAH and his CHRIST,* with one consent, and say, 3 "Let us asunder break their bands "and cast their cords away!" 4 But He ho sits in heav'n will laugh, The Lord will them deride; 5 In anger then to them He'll speak, in wrath to vex their pride. 6 "See I have set my king upon "Zion my holy hill, 7 "And the immutable decree "Proclaim abroad I will." 8 The LORD said, "Thou my SON, this day. "have I begotten thee!* "Ask, and the nations* I will give "thine heritage to be. 9 "And of the earth thou shalt possess "The utmost coasts abroad; "Thy foes shalt break as potters ware, "and crush with iron rod." 10 And now ye kings, be wise; be learn'd ye who earth's judges are; 11 Serve ye the LORD with reverence, rejoyce with trembling fear. 12 Kiss ye the SON, lest by his wrath ye perish in your way: When once his wrath a little burns, bless'd all that on him stay. Scripture: Psalm 2

Death and Burial of Saints

Appears in 523 hymnals First Line: Why do we mourn departing Friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing Friends; Or shake at Death's Alarms? 'Tis but the Voice that Jesus sends To call them to his Arms. Are we not tending upward too, As fast as Time can move Nor should we wish the Hours more Slow To keep us from our Love. 2 Why should we tremble to convey Their Bodies to the Tomb? There the dear Flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long Perfume. The Graves of all his Saints he bless'd, And softened every Bed; Where should the dying Members rest, But with the dying Head? 3 Thence he arose, ascended high, And shew'd our Feet the Way; Up to the Lord our Flesh shall fly, At the Great rising Day. Then let the last loud Trumpet sound, And bid our Kindred rise; Awake, ye Nations under Ground; Ye Saints ascend the Skies.

A Psalm of David

Scripture: Psalm 52

(A Psalm) of David

But chiefly for thy love and truth thy praises I'll proclaim; For over all, Thou, by thy word, hast magnify'd thy name. 3 The very day I cry'd to Thee, Thou kindly didst reply; And Thou didst fortify my soul with strength in full supply. 4 All kings throughout the joyful earth, shall give Thee praise, O LORD, When of thy mouth they come to hear the true and faithful word. 5 Yea, they with raised joy shall sing along JEHOVAH"s ways; For great the glory of the LORD, and great is all his praise. 6 The LORD, tho' high, yet kindly looks on those who lowly are; But those exalted high with pride, he knows and keeps afar. 7 Altho' I walk amidst distress, Thee quick'ning me I have: Thine hand shall smite my raging foes, and thy right hand me save. 8 The LORD will perfect what I want: thy mercy ever stands; JEHOVAH, O forsake Thou not the works of thine own hands.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: With expectation from the LORD Lyrics: 1 With expectation from the LORD, I waited patiently; And He inclin'd to pity me, and heard my humble cry. 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit, and from the miry clay; And on a rock he set my feet, established my way. 3 A new song put He in my mouth, to praise our God on high; Which many shall behold, and fear, and on the LORD rely. 4 O greatly blessed are the men, who in the LORD confide; Who value not the proud, nor such, as turn to lies aside. [2 Part] 5 O LORD my God, how many are, the wonders thou hast wrought; What multitudes of kindnesses towards us hast thou thought. 6 Their sum in order, never can be reckon'd up to thee: If I would count them they are more, than e'er can number'd be. 7 Thou dost no sacrifice of beasts now off'ring now desire, sin off'rings thou requirest not, nor off'rings made by fire: 8 But mine ear piercest: then said I, 'Lo now I come to Thee; 'As in the volume of thy book ' 'tis written thus of me;' "To do thy will, is my delight, " O Thou my God who art! "Yea thy whole law is fised in "the centre of my heart." 9 "I in the congregation great, "thy righteousness did show; "Lo I have not refrain'd my lips, JEHOVAH thou dost know. 10 "I have not in my heart conceal'd, "thy perfect righteousness; "But thy salvation have declar'd, "and shown thy faithfulness. "Neither thy great binignity "have I at all conceal'd; Nor from the congregation great "have I thy truth with-held." 11 And now thy tender mercies, LORD with-hold thou not from me; But let thy mercy and thy truth keep me continually. 12 For evils more than can be told, encompass me around; My sins so seize and hold me fast, that they my sight confound. They're more than hairs upon my head, my heart is quite dismay'd: 13 O LORD, be pleas'd to rescue me, LORD< hasten to my aid. [3 Part] 14 With shame be they confounded, who my soul to ruin aim; Yea, all who evil wish to me, be driven back with shame. 15 With shame their spite shall be repaid, who mock my hope in Thee; Who sport of me in trouble make, they desolated shall be. 16 Let all who seek Thee, joy in Thee who firm in Thee confide; Who thy salvation love, cry out "the LORD be magnify'd." 17 I poor and needy am; and yet the Lord does think on me: For Thou my help and favour art: my god me quickly free. Scripture: Psalm 40

CHRIST's Compassion at the Weak and Tempted

Appears in 423 hymnals First Line: With joy we meditate the Grace Lyrics: 1 With Joy we meditate the Grace Of our High Priest above; His Heart is made of Tenderness, His Bowels melt with Love. Touch'd with a Sympathy within, He knows our feeble Frame; He knows what sore Temptations mean, For he hath felt the same. 2 But spotless, innocent and pure The great Redeemer stood, While Satan's fiery Dartsv he bore, And did resist to Blood. He in the Days of feeble Flesh Pour'd out his Cries and Tears, And in his Measure feels afresh What every Member bears. 3 He'll never quench the smoaking Flax, But raise it to a Flame; The bruised Reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest Name. Then let our humble Faith address His Mercy and his Pow'r, We shall obtain deliv'ring Grace In the distressing Hour.

Ye righteous, in the Lord

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous in the Lord, exceedingly rejoyce; For it is comely for th' upright, with praise to lift their voice. 2 With psaltries, harps and lutes, sing praises to the LORD; 3 A new song loudly sing to Him, with skill and sweet accord; 4 Because JEHOVAH's word is altogether right; And all his work is done in truth, and brings his truth to light. 5 He loves all righteousness, judgment and equity: And all the earth is filled with the LORD"s benignity. 6 For by JEHOVAH's word the heav'ns had all their frame; And by the spirit of his mouth all armies of the same. 7 The waters of the sea he gathers as an heap; In channels as in treasuries he lays up all the deep. 8 Let all throughout the earth, the great JEHOVAH fear, Let all the dwellers of the world to Him deep rev'rence bear: 9 Because he did but speak the word; and it was made; He did but his commandment give, and it was firmly staid. 10 JEHOVAH brings to nought the schemes of nations wise; He renders all in vain the plots the subt'lest men devise. 11 The counsel of the LORD abide for ever shall; The cogitations of his heart, to generations all. [2 Part] 12 O blessed nation they, whose God JEHOVAH is; That people, for an heritage He chosen hath as his. 13 The LORD from heav'n looks down, on all the human race: 14 He all who dwell around the earth views from his dwelling place. 15 He fashions at his will the hearts of all mankind; And all their operations he attentively does mind. 16 By multitudes of hosts no king himself can save, The mighty by their greatest strength, can not deliv'rance have. 17 A horse a vain thing is to save one in the fight; Neither can he deliv'rance give by greatness of his might. 18 But lo, who fear the LORD, on them, He sets his eye; On them who place their lively hope in his benignity. 19 To save our souls from death by war and famine free; 20 Our souls will for JEHOVAH wait; our help and shield is he. 21 We trust his holy name; so our heart in Him joy. 22 LORD, let thy mercy be on us, as we on Thee rely.
