The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or Practical Atheism exposed

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: God his Being, Attributes and Providence; God his Being, Attributes and Providence First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, "Nor fear before his eyes. 2 [He walks awhile conceal'd In a self-flattering dream, Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd, Expose his hateful name.] 3 His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. 4 He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil; He sets his heart, and hand, and head To practise all that's ill. 5 But there's a dreadful God, Tho' men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. 6 His truth transcends the sky, In heaven his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgements lie, His anger burns to hell. 7 How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! Oh never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7

The Blessings of the Spring; or God gives Rain

Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: God his Being, Attributes and Providence; God his Being, Attributes and Providence First Line: Good is the Lord, the heavenly King Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord, the heavenly King, Who makes the earth his care; Visits the pastures every spring, And bids the grass appear. 2 The clouds, like rivers rais'd on high, Pour out at his command, Their watry blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. 3 The soften'd ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring: The vallies rich provision yield, And the poor laborers sing. 4 The little hills on every side Rejoice at falling showers, The meadows dress'd in buteous pride Perfume the air with flowers. 5 The barren clouds refresh'd with rain Promise a joyful crop; The parched grounds look green again, And raise the reper's hope. 6 The various months thy goodness crowns How bounteous are thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 65

Psalm 147 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: God his being, attributes, and providence First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty God Lyrics: O Britain, praise thy mighty God, And make his honors known abroad, He bid the ocean round thee flow; Not bars of brass could guard thee so. Thy children are secure and blest; Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest; He feeds thy sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. Thy changing seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends. With hoary frost he strews the ground; His hail descends with clatt'ring sound: Where is the man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful cold? He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call the Britons to his praise. To all the isle his laws are shown, His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus revealed his word To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147
