The Church Under Discipline
Hymnal: The Psalter #216 (1912) Topics: Deliverance From Enemies; Enemies Many and Mighty; Prayer For Deliverance from Enemies First Line: In Thy heritage the heathen Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen
Now, O God, triumphant stand;
They defile Thy holy temple,
They destroy Thy chosen land;
Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants,
They have caused Thy saints to mourn,
In the sight of all about us
We endure reproach and scorn.
2 O how long against Thy people
Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord?
On Thy enemies, the heathen,
Be Thy indignation poured;
Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee,
Calling not upon Thy Name.
They have long devoured Thy people
And have swept Thy land with flame.
3 O remember not against us
Evil by our fathers wrought;
Haste to help us in Thy mercy,
Near to ruin we are brought;
Help us, God of our salvation,
For the glory of Thy Name;
For Thy Name's sake come and save us,
Take away our sin and shame.
4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee,
Now avenge Thy servants slain;
Loose the pris'ner, save the dying,
All Thy enemies restrain;
Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people,
Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise,
And to ev'ry generation,
We will sing Thy glorious praise. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English Tune Title: SALONICA
The Church Under Discipline
Psalm 76
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.163 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Enemies destroyed; Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Church wrath against enemies proceeds thence; Vengeance against the enemies of the church First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics:
In Judah God of old was known;
His name in Isr'el great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.
Among the praises of his saints
His dwelling there he chose;
There he received their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.
From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threat'ning spear,
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crushed th' Assyrian war.
What are the earth's wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.
'Twas Zion's King that stopped the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
And never found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
What power can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav'n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth lies still and fears.
When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th' oppressed,
The wrath of man shall work his praise,
And he'll restrain the rest.
[Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring,
Ye princes, fear his frown;
His terror shakes the proudest king,
And cuts an army down.
The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob's God hath not forsook
But dwells in Zion still.]

Psalm 76
Psalm 109
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.239 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ his love to enemies; Enemies prayed for; Love to enemies First Line: God of my mercy and my praise Lyrics:
God of my mercy and my praise,
Thy glory is my song,
Though sinners speak against thy grace
With a blaspheming tongue.
When in the form of mortal man
Thy Son on earth was found,
With cruel slanders, false and vain,
They compassed him around.
Their miseries his compassion move,
Their peace he still pursued;
They render hatred for his love,
And evil for his good.
Their malice raged without a cause,
Yet, with his dying breath,
He prayed for murderers on his cross,
And blessed his foes in death.
Lord, shall thy bright example shine
In vain before my eyes?
Give me a soul akin to thine,
To love my enemies.
The Lord shall on my side engage,
And, in my Savior's name,
I shall defeat their pride and rage
Who slander and condemn.

Deliverance from Despair; or, Temptation overcome

My rock, my tower, my high defence;
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
2 Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptation rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
3 I saw the opening gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
(Which none but they that feel can tell)
While I was hurry'd to despair.
4 In my distress I call'd my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine;
He bow'd his ear to my complaint;
And prov'd his saving grace divine.
5 [With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub’s wing he rode;
Awful, and bright as lightening, shone
The face of my deliverer God.
6 Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his Almighty breath:
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.]
7 Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.
8 My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord
Due to his mercy and his power. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-9 Languages: English

The triumphs of the day:
Thy terrors, Lord, confound the foe,
And melt their strength away.
2 'Tis by thy aid our troops prevail,
And break united powers,
Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale
The proudest of their towers.
3 How have we chas'd them through the field,
And trod them to the ground,
While thy salvation was our shield,
But they no shelter found!
4 In vain to idol saints they cry,
And perish in their blood;
Where is a rock so great so high,
So powerful as our God?
5 The God of Israel ever lives;
His name be ever blest;
'Tis his own arm the victory gives,
And gives his people rest.
