Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIIc (1785) First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent 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 powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans, and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighten'd 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 sovereign word, and heals. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offering prove How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck; or, The Seaman's Song

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIId (1785) First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the works of GOD, His wonders in the world abroad, With the bold mariner, survey The unknown regions of the sea. 2 They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favour of the wind! 'Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 3 Now to the heavens they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a staggering drunkard reel! 4 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to GOD they cry: His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. 5 He bids the winds their wrath asswage, And stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er And hail with joy their native shore. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private offerings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

The Mariner's Psalm

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIIe (1785) First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, That rule the boisterous sea, The sons of courage shall record, Who tempt that dangerous way. 2 At thy command the winds arise, And swell the towering waves! The men astonish'd mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. 3 [Again they climb the watery hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tottering drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with fluttering 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 thro' the skies, And lays the floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storms 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 Oh that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIIf (1785) First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes 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 showery blessings from the skies; And harvests in the desert 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 barbarous 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 wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

A Song of Praise

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIII (1785) First Line: Awake, my soul, to sound his praise Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to sound his praise, Awake my harp to sing; Join all my powers the song to raise, And morning incense bring. 2 Among the people of his care, And thro' the nations round; Glad songs of praise will I prepare, And there his name resound. 3 Be thou exalted, O my GOD, Above the starry train; Diffuse thy heavenly grace abroad, And teach the world thy reign. 4 So shall thy chosen sons rejoice, And throng thy courts above; While sinners hear thy pardoning voice, And taste redeeming love. Scripture: Psalm 108 Languages: English

Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CIX (1785) First Line: God of mercy and my praise Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' Sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy son on earth was found; With cruel slanders false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And blest his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul a-kin to thine, To love mine enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage, Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109:1-5 Languages: English
