Creatures vain, and God All-suffering

Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: Blest is the Nation where the Lord Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Nation where the Lord Hath fix'd his gracious Throne, Where he reveals his heav'nly Word, And calls their Tribes his own. 2 His Eye with Infinite Survey Does the whole World behold; He form'd us all of equal Clay, And knows our feeble Mould. 3 Kings are not rescu'd by the Force Of Armies from the Grave; Nor Speed, nor Courage of an Horse Can the bold Rider save. 4 Vain is the Strength of Beasts or Men, To hope for Safety thence; But holy Souls from God obtain A strong and sure Defence. 5 GOD is their Fear, and GOD their Trust; When Plagues or Famine spread, His watchful Eye secures the Just Among ten thousand Dead. 6 Lord, let our Hearts in Thee rejoice, And bless us from thy Throne; For we have made thy Word our Choice, And trust thy Grace alone. Topics: Sincerity; Creation and Providence; Creatures no trust in them; Friendship its Blessings; God all-sufficient; God our Defense and Salvation; Grace and providence; Praise for creation and providence; Works and grace Scripture: Psalm 33

When shall I feel those heavenly Rays That chace my Fears away? 2 How long shall my poor lab'ring Soul Wrestle and toil in vain? Thy Word can all my Foes controul, And ease my raging Pain. 3 See how the Prince of Darkness tries All his malicious Arts He spreads a Mist around my Eyes, And throws his fiery Darts. 4 Be thou my Sun, and thou my Shield, My Soul in Safety keep; Make Haste, before mine Eyes are seal'd In Death's eternal Sleep. 5 How would the Tempter boast aloud If I become his Prey! Behold the Sons of Hell grow proud At thy so long Delay. 6 But they shall fly at thy Rebuke, And Satan hide his Head; He knows the Terrors of thy Look, And hears thy Voice with Dread. 7 Thou wilt display that sov'reign Grace, Where all my Hopes have hung; I shall employ my Lips in Praise, And Vict'ry shall be sung.

And all thy Judgments just; For ever sure thy Promise, Lord, And Men securely trust. 4 My gracious GOD, how plain Are thy Directions giv'n! O may I never read in vain, But find the Path to Heav'n. Pause. 5 I hear thy Word with Love, And I would fain obey; Send thy good Spirit from above To guide me, lest I stray. 6 O who can ever find The Errors of his Ways? Yet with a bold, presumptuous Mind I would not dare transgress. 7 Warn me of ev'ry Sin, Forgive my secret Faults, And cleanse this guilty Soul of mine, Whose Crimes exceed my Thoughts. 8 While with my Heart and Tongue I spread thy Praise abroad; Accept the Worship and the Song, My Saviour and my GOD.
