Fools in their Hearts believe and say

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P14a (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 Fools in their Hearts believe and say, "That all Religion's vain; There is no GOD that reigns on high, Or minds th' Affairs of Men." 2 From Thoughts so dreadful and prophane Corrupt Discourse proceeds; And in their impious Hands are found Abominable Deeds. 3 The Lord from his Celestial Throne Look'd down on Things below, To find the Man that sought his Grace, Or did his Justice know. 4 By Nature all are gone astray, Their Practice all the same; There's none that fears his Maker's Hand, There's none that loves his Name. 5 Their Tongues are us'd to speak Deceit, Their Slanders never cease; How swift to Mischief are their Feet; Nor know the Paths of Peace. 6 Such Seeds of Sin (that bitter Root) In ev'ry Heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner Fruit, Till Grace refine the Ground.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #20 (1740) Topics: Atheism practical First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thou dost not soon appear, Virtue and truth will fly away; A faithful Man amongst us here Will scarce be found, if thou delay. 2 The whole Discourse, when Neighbors meet, Is fill'd with Trifles loose and vain; Their Lips are Flatt'ry and Deceit, And their proud Language is profane. 3 But Lips that with Deceit abound Shall not maintain their Triumph long; The God of Vengeance will confound The flatt'ring and blaspheming tongue. 4 "Yet shall our Words be free" they cry; "Our tongues shall be controul'd by none: "Where is the Lord will ask us why? "Or, say, our Lips are not our own?" 5 The Lord, who sees the Poor oppresst, And hears th' Oppressor's haughty Strain, Will rise to give his Children Rest, Nor shall they trust his Word in vain. 6 Thy Word, O Lord, tho' often try'd, Void of Deceit shall still appear; Not Silver seven Times purify'd From Dross and Mixture, shines so clear. 7 Thy Grace shall in the darkest Hour Defend the holy Soul from Harm; Tho' when the vilest Men have Power, On ev'ry Side will Sinners swarm.

"Are not our Lips our own," they cry, "And who shall be our Lord?" 4 Scoffers appear on every Side, Where a vile Race of Men Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride, And bears the Sword in vain. Pause. 5 Lord, when Iniquities abound, And Blasphemy grows bold, When Faith is hardly to be found, And Love is waxen cold; 6 Is not thy Chariot hast'ning on; Hast thou not giv'n this Sign; May we not trust and live upon A Promise so divine? 7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise, "And make Oppressors flee; "I shall appear to their Surprize, "And set my Servants free. 8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd, Thro' Ages shall endure; Then Men that in thy Truth confide Shall find the Promise sure.
