From Age to Age exalt his Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107b (1766) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea Lyrics: 1 From Age to Age exalt his Name, GOD and his Grace are still the same; He fills the hungry Soul with Food, And feeds the Poor with ev'ry Good. 2 But if their Hearts rebel and rise Against the GOD that rules the Skies, If they reject his heav'nly Word, And slight the Counsels of the Lord; 3 He'll bring their Spirits to the Ground, And no Deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with Grief they waste their Breath In Darkness and the Shades of Death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries, He makes the dawning Light arise, And scatters all that dismal Shade That hung so heavy round their Head. 5 He cuts the Bars of Brass in two, And lets the smiling Pris'ners through, Takes off the Load of Guilt and Grief, And gives the lab'ring Soul Relief. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord; How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Vain Man on foolish Pleasures bent

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107c (1766) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea Lyrics: 1 Vain Man, on foolish Pleasures bent, Prepares for his own Punishment; What Pains, what loathsome Maladies From Luxury and Lust arise! 2 The Drunkard feels his Vitals waste; Yet drowns his Health to please his Taste; Till all his active Pow'rs are lost, And fainting Life draws near the Dust. 3 The Glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His Soul abhors delicious Meat; Nature, with heavy Loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighted Sinners fly To GOD for Help with earnest Cry! He hears their Groans, prolongs their Breath, And saves them from approaching Death. 5 No Med'cines could effect the Cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly Sentence GOD repeals, He sends his sov'reign Word and heals. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful Off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's Love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107e (1766) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea Lyrics: 1 Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord, Thy Wonders in the Deeps, The Sons of Courage shall record, Who trade in floating Ships. 2 At thy Command the Winds arise, And swell the tow'ring Waves; The Men astonish'd mount the Skies, And sink in gaping Graves. 3 [Again they climb the watry Hills, And plunge in Deeps again; Each like a tott'ring Drunkard reels, And finds his Courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the Tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring Breath, And hopeless of the distant Shore, Expect immediate Death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries; He hears the loud Request, And orders Silence through the Skies, And lays the Floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their Fears, And see the Storm allay'd: Now to their Eyes the Port appears; There let their Vows be paid. 7 'Tis GOD, that brings them safe to Land; Let stupid Mortals know That Waves are under his Command, And all the Winds that blow. 8 O that the Sons of Men would praise The Goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wond'rous Ways, Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

When God provok'd with daring Crimes

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107f (1766) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea Lyrics: 1 When God provok'd with daring Crimes, Scourges the Madness of the Times, He turns their Fields to barren Sand, And dries the Rivers from the Land. 2 His Word can raise the Springs again, And make the wither'd Mountains green, Send show'ry Blessings from the Skies, And Harvests in the Desarts rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but Beasts of Prey, Or Men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' Opprest and Poor repair, And builds them Towns and Cities there. 4 They sow the Fields, and Trees they plant, Whose yearly Fruit supplies their Want; Their Race grows up from fruitful Stocks, Their Wealth increases with their Flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen Nations in; A savage Crew invades their Lands, Their Princes die by barb'rous Hands. 6 Their captive Sons expos'd to Scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The Country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And Desolation spreads the Field. 7 Yet if the humbled Nation mourns, Again his dreadful Hand he turns; Again he makes their Cities thrive, And bids the dying Churches live.] 8 The Righteous, with a joyful Sense, Admire the Works of Providence; And Tongues of Atheists shall no more Blaspheme the GOD that Saints adore. 9 How few with pious Care record These wond'rous Dealings of the Lord; But wise Observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

The Lord, our glory and defence, Strength and salvation gives; Isr'el, thy King for ever reigns, Thy God for ever lives. Scripture: Psalm 89:15-52 Languages: English

A Prayer-Hearing God, and the Gentiles called

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #113a (1740) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea First Line: Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee Lyrics: 1 Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee; There shall our Vows be paid: Thou hast an Ear when Sinners pray; All Flesh shall seek thine Aid. 2 Lord, our Iniquities prevail, But pard'ning Grace is thine; And thou wilt grant us Pow'r and Skill To conquer every Sin. 3 Bless'd are the Men whom thou wilt chuse To bring them near thy Face, Give them a Dwelling in thine House, To feast upon thy Grace. 4 In answ'ring what thy Church requests Thy Truth and Terror shine, And Works of dreadful Righteousness Fulfil thy kind Design. 5 Thus shall the wond'ring Nations see The Lord is good and just; And distant Islands fly to thee, And make thy Name their Trust. 6 They dread thy glitt'ring Tokens, Lord, When Signs in Heav'n appear; But they shall learn thy holy Word, And love as well as fear. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English

The Blessings of the Spring; or, GOD gives Rain: A Psalm for the Husbandman

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #114 (1740) Topics: Providence in Air, Earth and Sea First Line: Good is the Lord, the heav'nly King Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord, the heav'nly King, Who makes the Earth his Care; Visits the Pastures ev'ry Spring, And bids the Grass appear. 2 The Clouds, like Rivers rais'd on high, Pour out at thy Command Their watry Blessings from the Sky, To chear the thirsty Land. 3 The soften'd Ridges of the Field Permit the Corn to spring; The Vallies rich Provision yield, And the poor Lab'rers sing. 4 The little Hills, on ev'ry Side, Rejoice at falling Show'rs; The Meadows, dresse'd in all their Pride, Perfume the Air with Flow'rs. 5 The barren Clods, refresh'd with Rain, Promise a joyful Crop; The parching Grounds look green again, And raise the Reaper's Hope. 6 The various Months thy Goodness crowns; How bount'ous are thy Ways! The bleating Flocks spread o'er the Downs, And Shepherds shout thy Praise. Languages: English
