The Blessings of Friendship

In vain they worship glittering dust, And pray to GOD in vain. 6 [Their gods have tongues that speechless prove, Such as their makers gave; Their feet were never form'd to move Nor hands have power to save. 7 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 Ye nations, know the living GOD, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes the churches his abode, And claims thine honours there.

The Babylonian Captivity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXXVII (1785) First Line: Along the banks where Babel's current flows Lyrics: 1 Along the banks where Babel's current flows, Our captive bands in deep despondence stray'd, While Zion's fall in sad remembrance rose, Her friends, her children, mingled with the dead. 2 The tuneless harp, that once with joy we strung, When praise employ'd and mirth inspir'd the lay, In mournful silence on the willows hung; And growing grief prolong'd the tedious day. 3 The barbarous tyrants, to increase the woe, With taunting smiles a song of Zion claim; Bid sacred praise in strains melodious flow, While they blaspheme the great Jehovah's name. 4 But how, in heathen chains and lands unknown, Shall Israel's sons, a song of Zion raise? O hapless Salem, GOD's terrestrial throne, Thou land of glory sacred mount of praise. 5 If e'er my memory lose thy lovely name, If my cold heart neglect my kindred race, Let dire destruction sieze this guilty frame; My hand shall perish and my voice shall cease. 6 Yet shall the Lord, who hears when Zion calls, O'ertake her foes with terror and dismay, His arm avenge her desolated walls, And raise her children to eternal day. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English

Restoring and Preserving Grace

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXXVIII (1785) First Line: With all my powers of heart and tongue Lyrics: 1 With all my powers of heart and tongue I'll praise my Maker in my song; Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song, and join the praise. 2 [Angels that make thy church their care Shall witness my devotions there, While holy zeal directs my eyes To thy fair temple in the skies.] 3 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord, I'll sing the wonders of thy word; Not all the works and names below So much thy power and glory show. 4 To GOD I cry'd when troubles rose; He heard me, and subdu'd my foes: He did my rising fears controul, And strength diffus'd through all my soul. 5 The GOD of heaven maintains his state, Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great, But from his throne descends to bless The humble souls that trust his grace. 6 Amidst a thousand snares I stand Upheld and guarded by thy hand; Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive. 7 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows or from sins; The work that wisdom undertakes, Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes. Scripture: Psalm 138 Languages: English
