In God's own house pronounce his praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In God's own house pronounce his praise,
His grace he there reveals;
To heav'n your joy and wonder raise,
For there his glory dwells.
2 Let all your sacred passions move,
While you rehearse his deeds;
But the great work of saving love
Your highest praise exceeds.
3 All that have motion, life, and breath,
Proclaim your Maker blest;
Yet, when my voice expires in death,
My soul shall praise him best. Scripture: Psalm 150:1-2
In God's own house pronounce his praise
Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
Appears in 656 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To thee will I direct my pray'r,
To thee lift up mine eye.
2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all his saints,
Presenting at his Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.
3 Thou art a God, before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right-hand.
4 But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there:
I will frequent thine holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
5 O may thy Spirit guide my feet,
In ways of righteousness!
Make ev'ry path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.
Pause.
6 My watchful enemies combine
To tempt my feet astray;
They flatter with a base design,
To make my soul their prey.
7 Lord, crush the serpent in the dust,
And all his plots destroy;
While those that in thy mercy trust,
For ever shout for joy.
8 The men that love and fear thy name,
Shall see their hopes fulfil'd;
The mighty God will compass them
With favour as a shield. Scripture: Psalm 4:3-5
Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
In anger, Lord, rebuke me not
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In anger, Lord, rebuke me not,
Withdraw the dreadful storm;
Nor let thy fury grow so hot
Against a feeble worm.
2 My soul bow'd down with heavy cares,
My flesh with pain opprest;
My couch is witness to my tears,
My tears forbid my rest.
3 Sorrow and pain wear out my days;
I waste the night with cries;
Counting the minutes as they pass,
Till the slow morning rise.
4 Shall I be still tormented more?
My eyes consum'd with grief?
How long, my God, how long before
Thine hand afford relief?
5 He hears when dust and ashes speak,
He pities all our groans;
And saves us for his mercy’s sake,
And heals our broken bones.
6 The virtue of his sov'reign word
Restores our fainting breath:
For silent graves praise not the Lord,
Nor is he known in death. Scripture: Psalm 6
In anger, Lord, rebuke me not
My trust is in my heav'nly friend
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My trust is in my heav'nly friend,
My hope in thee, my God;
Rise, and my helpless life defend
From those that seek my blood.
2 With insolence and fury they
My soul to pieces tear;
As hungry lions rend the prey,
When no deliv'rer’s near.
3 IfI had e'er provok'd them first,
Or once abus'd my foe,
Then let them tread my life to dust,
And lay mine honor low.
4 If there be malice found in me,
(I know thy piercing eyes)
I should not dare appeal to thee,
Nor ask my God to rise.
5 Arise, my God, lift up thy hand,
Their pride and power controul;
Awake to judgment, and command
Deliv'rance for my soul.
Pause.
6 [Let sinners and their wicked rage
Be humbled to the dust:
Shall not the God of truth engage
To vindicate the just?
7 He knows the heart, he tries the reins,
He will defend th' upright;
His sharpest arrows he ordains
Against the sons of spite.
8 For me their malice digg'd a pit,
But there themselves are cast:
My God makes all their mischief light
On their own heads at last.]
9 That cruel persecuting race,
Must feel his dreadful sword;
Awake my soul, and praise the grace
And justice of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 7
My trust is in my heav'nly friend
Lord, what was man when made at first
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, what was man when made at first,
Adam the offspring of the dust!
That thou shouldst set him and his race
But just below an angel's place;
2 That thou shouldst raise his nature so,
And make him lord of all below;
Make ev'ry beast and bird submit,
And lay the fishes at his feet?
3 But O what brighter glories wait
To crown the second Adam's state!
What honors shall thy Son adorn,
Who condescended to be born!
4 See him below his angels made,
See him in dust amongst the dead,
To save a ruin'd world from sin:
But he shall reign with pow'r divine.
5 The world to come, redeem'd from all
The mis'ries that attend the fall,
New made, and glorious, shall submit
At our exalted Savior's feet. Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9
Lord, what was man when made at first
My Shepherd is the living Lord
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord:
Now shall my wants be well supply'd;
His providence and holy word
Become my safety and my guide.
2 In pastures where salvation grows
He makes me feed, he makes me rest;
There living water gently flows,
And all the food's divinely blest.
3 My wand'ring feet his ways mistake,
But he restores my soul to peace,
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In the fair paths of righteousness.
4 Tho' I walk thro' the gloomy vale,
Where death and all its terrors are,
My heart and hope shall never fail,
For God, my shepherd's with me there.
5 Amidst the darkness and the deeps
Thou art my comfort, thou my stay;
Thy staff supports my feeble steps,
Thy rod directs my doubtful way.
6 The sons of earth and sons of hell
Gaze at thy goodness, and repine
To see my table spread so well
With living bread and cheerful wine.
7 [How I rejoice, when on my head
Thy Spirit condescends to rest!
'Tis a divine anointing, shed,
Like oil of gladness at a feast.
8 Surely the mercies of the Lord
Attend his household all their days;
There will I dwell to hear his word,
To seek his face and sing his praise.] Scripture: Psalm 23
My Shepherd is the living Lord
My Shepherd will supply my need
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is is name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed
Beside the living stream.
2 He brings my wand'ring spirit back,
When I forsake his ways;
And leads me, for his mercy's sake
In paths of truth and grace.
3 When I walk thro' the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
4 Thy hand, in spite of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil annoints my head.
5 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise.
6 There would I find a settled rest,
(While others go and come)
No more a stranger or a guest,
But like a child, at home. Scripture: Psalm 23
My Shepherd will supply my need
The earth for ever is the Lord's
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth for ever is the Lord's,
With Adam's num'rous race;
He rais'd its arches o'er the floods,
And built it on the seas.
2 But who among the sons of men
May visit thine abode?
He that has hands from mischief clean,
Whose heart is right with God.
3 This is the man may rise and take
The blessings of his grace;
This is the lot of those that seek
The God of Jacob's face.
4 Now let our soul's immortal pow'rs,
To meet the Lord prepare;
Lift up their everlasting doors,
The King of Glory's near.
5 The King of Glory! Who can tell
The wonders of his might?
He rules the nations; but to dwell
With saints is his delight. Scripture: Psalm 24
The earth for ever is the Lord's
This spacious earth is all the Lord's
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This spacious earth is all the Lord’s,
And men, and worms, and beasts and birds,
He rais'd the building on the seas,
And gave it for their dwelling place.
2 But there’s a brighter world on high,
Thy palace, Lord, above the sky:
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his Maker God?
3 He that abhors and fears to sin,
Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean,
Him shall the Lord, the Savior bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.
4 These are the men, the pious race,
That seek the God of Jacob’s face:
These shall enjoy the blissful sight
And dwell in everlasting light.
Pause.
5 Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the King of Glory nigh!
Who can this King of Glory be?
The mighty Lord, the Savior’s he.
6 Ye heav'nly gates, your leaves display,
To make the Lord the Savior way:
Laden with spoils from earth and hell,
The conqu'ror comes, with God to dwell.
7 Rais'd from the dead, he goes before,
He opens heav'n’s eternal door,
To give his saints a blest abode,
Near their Redeemer, and their God. Scripture: Psalm 24
This spacious earth is all the Lord's
Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways,
And try my reins, and try my heart;
My faith upon thy promise stays,
Nor from thy law my feet depart.
2 I hate to walk, I hate to sit
With men of vanity and lies;
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.
3 Amongst thy saints will I appear
With hands well wash'd in innocence;
But when I stand before thy bar,
The blood of Christ is my defence.
4 I love thy habitation, Lord,
The temple where thine honors dwell;
There shall I hear thy holy word,
And there thy works of wonder tell.
5 Let not my soul be join'd at last
With men of treachery and blood;
Since I my days on earth have past
Among the saints and near my God. Scripture: Psalm 26
Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways
