Let the wild leopards of the wood

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #88 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prosperity dangerous Lyrics: Let the wild leopards of the wood Put off the spots that nature gives, Then may the wicked turn to God, And change their tempers and their lives. As well might Ethiopian slaves Wash out the darkness of their skin, The deed as well might leave their graves, As old transgressors cease to sin. Where vice has held its empire long, 'Twill not endure the least control; None but a power divinely strong Can turn the current of the soul. Great God! I own thy power divine That works to change this heart of mine; I would be formed anew, and bless The wonders of creating grace. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English

Now Satan comes with dreadful roar

Author: Isaac Watts; Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #93 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prosperity dangerous Lyrics: Now Satan comes with dreadful roar And threatens to destroy; He worries whom he can't devour With a malicious joy. Ye sons of God, oppose his rage, Resist, and he'll begone; Thus did our dearest Lord engage And vanquish him alone. Now he appears almost divine, Like innocence and love; But the old serpent lurks within When he assumes the dove. Fly from the false deceiver's tongue, Ye sons of Adam, fly; Our parents found the snare too strong, Nor should the children try. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English

Broad is the road that leads to death

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #94 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prosperity dangerous Lyrics: Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrower path, With here and there a traveller. "Deny thyself, and take thy cross," Is the Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heav'nly land. The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. Lord, let not all my hopes be vain Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew. Scripture: Psalm 73:23-28 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #128 (1740) Topics: Prosperity dangerous First Line: Now I'm convinc'd the Lord is kind Lyrics: 1 Now I'm convinc'd the Lord is kind To Men of Heart sincere; Yet once my foolish Thoughts repin'd, And border'd on Despair. 2 I griev'd to see the Wicked thrive, And spoke with angry Breath, "How pleasant and profane they live! "How peaceful is their Death! 3 "With well-fed Flesh and haughty Eyes, "They lay their Fears to sleep; "Against the Heav'ns their Slanders rise, "While Saints in Silence weep. 4 "In vain I lift my Hands to pray, "And cleanse my Heart in vain, "For I am chasten'd all the Day, "The Night renews my Pain." 5 Yet while my Tongue indulg'd Complaints, I felt my Heart reprove; "Sure I shall thus offend thy Saints, And grieve the Men I Love." 6 But still I found my Doubts too hard, The Conflict too severe, Till I retir'd to search thy Word, And learn thy Secrets there. 7 There, as in some prophetic Glass, I saw the Sinner's Feet High mounted on a slipp'ry Place, Beside a fi'ry Pit. 8 I heard the Wretch profanely boast, 'Till at thy Frown he fell; His Honours in a Dream were lost, And he awakes in Hell. 9 Lord, what an envious Fool I was! How like a thoughtless Beast! Thus to suspect thy promis'd Grace, And think the Wicked blest. 10 Yet I was kept from full Despair, Upheld by Pow'r unknown; That blessed Hand that broke the Snare Shall guide me to thy Throne.

GOD our Portion here and hereafter

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #129 (1740) Topics: Prosperity dangerous First Line: GOD, my Supporter and my Hope Lyrics: 1 God, my Supporter and my Hope, My Help for ever near, Thine arm of Mercy held me up, When sinking in Despair. 2 Thy Counsels, Lord, shall guide my Feet Through this dark Wilderness; Thine Hand conduct me near thy Seat, To dwell before thy Face. 3 Were I in Heav'n without my GOD, 'Twould be no Joy to me; And whilst this earth is my Abode, I long for none but Thee. 4 What if the Springs of Life were broke, And Flesh and Heart should faint, GOD is my Soul's eternal Rock, The Strength of ev'ry Saint. 5 Behold, the Sinners that remove Far from thy Presence die; Not all the Idol Gods they love Can save 'em when they cry. 6 But to draw near to Thee, my GOD, Shall be my sweet Employ; My Tongue shall sound thy Works abroad, And tell the World my Joy.

The Prosperity of Sinners cursed

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #130 (1740) Topics: Prosperity dangerous First Line: Lord, what a thoughtless Wretch was I Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a thoughtless Wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine, To see the Wicked plac'd on high, In Pride and Robes of Honour shine! 2 But, O their End, their dreadful End! Thy Sanctuary taught me so; O slipp'ry Rocks I see them stand, And fi'ry Billows roll below. 3 Now let 'em boast how tall they rise, I'll never envy them again; There they may stand with haughty Eyes, Till they plunge deep in endless Pain. 4 Their fancy'd Joys, how fast they flee! Just like a Dream when Man awakes; Their Songs of softest Harmony Are but a Preface to their Plagues. 5 Now I esteem their Mirth and Wine Too dear to Purchase with my Blood; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, My Life, my Portion, and my GOD.

The Mystery of Providence unfolded

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #131 (1740) Topics: Prosperity dangerous First Line: Sure there is a righteous GOD Lyrics: 1 Sure there is a righteous GOD, Nor is Religion vain; Though Men of Vice may boast aloud, And Men of Grace complain. 2 I saw the Wicked rise, And felt my Heart repine, While haughty fools, with scornful Eyes In Robes of Honour shine. 3 [Pamper'd with wanton Ease, Their Flesh looks full and fair; Their Wealth rolls in like flowing Seas, And grows without their Care. 4 Free from the Plagues and Pains That pious Souls endure; Through all their Life Oppression reigns, And racks the humble Poor. 5 Their impious Tongues blaspheme The everlasting GOD; Their Malice blasts the good Man's Name, And spreads their Lies abroad. 6 But I, with flowing Tears Indulg'd my Doubts to rise; "Is there a GOD that sees or hears "The things below the Skies?"] 7 The Tumults of my Thought Held me in hard Suspense, Till to thy House my feet were brought, To learn thy Justice thence. 8 Thy Word with Light and Pow'r Did my Mistakes amend; I view'd the Sinner's Life before, But here I learnt their End. 9 On what a slipp'ry Steep The thoughtless Wretches go! And O that dreadful fi'ry Deep That waits their Fall below! 10 Lord, at thy feet I bow, My thoughts no more repine; I call my GOD my Portion now, And all my Pow'rs are thine.

Thrice happy man who fears the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #308 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Preservation in public dangers Lyrics: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word; Honor and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. Compassion dwells upon his mind, To works of mercy still inclined; He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbors round with dread, His heart is armed against the fear, For God with all his power is there. His soul, well fixed upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. He hath dispersed his alms abroad; His works are still before his God; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
