In praise of God meet duty and delight

Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1-3 Lyrics: 1 In praise of God meet duty and delight, angels and creatures, flesh and spirits blest: in praise is earth transfigured by the sound and sight of heaven's everlasting feast. 2 The desert is refreshed by songs of praise, relaxed the frown of pride, the stress of grief; in praise forgotten all our human spite; in praise the burdened heart finds sure relief. 3 In praise our art and craft together meet, inspired, obedient, patient, practical; in praise join instrument and voice and sound to make one music for the Lord of all. 4 No skill of ours, no music made on earth, no mortal song could scale the height of heaven; yet stands that cross, through grace ineffable the instrument of praise to sinners given. 5 So, confident and festive, let us sing of wisdom, power and mercy there made known; the song of Moses and the Lamb be ours, through Christ raised up to life in God alone.

Listen Peoples, While I Tell

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 First Line: Listen, peoples, while I tell Lyrics: 1 Listen, peoples, while I tell What an elder race befell; Hearken to the solemn word, Learn obedience to the Lord. 2 Israel, erst from bondage freed, Chosen for a holy seed, Blessed with an unerring code, Worshipped one eternal God! 3 He their enemies subdued, Hearts by boundless bounties wooed, Fed them with the finest wheat, Milk and honey, purest treat! 4 Oft as trouble raised its cry, Still was their protector nigh; From His secret place He came, Swift to rescue, slow to blame. 5 Long His pity had endured, Long their prosperous state secured; Till, impatient of reproof, Impious, they disowned His truth! 6 Then, abandoned to their lust, Sold to selfishness and dust, Soon a ’whelming tempest came; Swept away their place and name.

With raised Voice, to God, our Strength

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 81 Lyrics: 1. With raised Voice, to God, our Strength, Aloud his Praises sing; With Shouting, make a joyful Noise, To Jacob's God, and King. 2. Strike up a Psalm, the Timbrel bring, And with your Voices join; The pleasant Harp, and Psaltery, In Consort sweet combine. 3. The Trumpet blow, in the New-Moon; When our Feast-Days arrive. 4. To Isr'el, for a Statute Law, This Jacob's God did give. 3. This Witness he, in Joseph, set, When thorough Egypt's Land He went; where we a Language heard, We could not understand. 6. Then, from his Shoulders, I remov'd, The Burden on him lay; His Hands then ceased from the Pots, And working in the Clay. 7. In thy Distress, thou call'dst on me, And I thy Griefs remov'd; In Thunders secret Place reply'd, At Mass'ah's Stream thee prov'd. Second Part 8. "Hear, O my People, my Protest; "O Isr'el hear my Word. 9. "No strange God shall in thee be found; "No foreign Lord ador'd. 10. "Jehovah, I thy God, thee brought "From Egypt's miry Clays' "Thy Mouth wide open, I'll it fill, "With Plenty, and with Praise. 11. "But Isr'el would not hear my Voice; "Nor me their Choice would make. 12. "So I them left to their Heart's Lusts, "Their own Advice to take. 13. Oh, that my People me had heard, And walk'd in my Command. 14. I would have soon subdu'd their Foes, And on them turn'd my Hand. 15. From them that hate the Lord, I would A forc'd Submission gain; But as for them, their happy Times Forever should remain. 16. I would have fed them with the best, And finest of the Wheat; Of Honey, from the Rock distill'd. They, to their Fill, should eat.

In loftiest strains address the mighty God

Author: Thomas Cradock Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 81 Lyrics: 1 In loftiest strains address the mighty God; To Israel's great redeemer chant aloud; 2 Chant the glad psalm, and to the timbrel join The lute, the psaltery, harmony divine! 3 Sound, sound the clarion, and your joy display; Now is the Hated feast, the solemn day; 4 The sacred solemn day, which heav'n ordain'd, Which Israel swore t' observe, while time remain'd; 5 The great memorial of Egyptian rage, When nought cou'd Pharaoh's harden'd heart assuage; When on the banks of Nile, sad wand'rers, they In direful bondage groan'd, and felt dismay; When they a language heard, not understood; 6 When bent their backs beneath the galling load. 7 "'Twas then, in misery sunk, with griefs appall'd, "With fervent prayer (says God) on me you call'd; "On me you call'd, and I indulgent heard, "Dispers'd your woes, your road to freedom clear'd; "Enwrapt in clouds, I gave my sacred law, "In thunder spoke, and struck your souls with awe; "Your faith at Merihah's fam'd waters prov'd, "Forgave your murmurs, and the cause remov'd. 8 "Hear, O my people, with attention hear, "Hear, while my solemn promise I declare: 9 "If thou my laws, my statutes, will obey, "And after other gods wilt scorn to stray: "If to their altars thou'lt no victims bring, 10 "But only worship me, thy God, thy king, "Thy God that from hard bondage set thee free, " And pav'd thy way to peace, to liberty; "On thee I'll blessings 'bove thy hopes bestow, "And ev'ry solid good to thee shall flow; 11 "Vainly I said; my people wou'd not hear, "But to my promise tum'd a listless ear; 12 "Therefore I left them to their worst of foes, "Their senseless selves, the guides themselves had chose; "Therefore I left them, madly to fulfil "The wretched dictates of their headstrong will. 13 "But Oh! that they had heard me, and obey'd, "Nor ever from the way I taught them stray'd! 14 "Me their support, with glory they had reign'd, "And o'er their foes a noble conquest gain'd. 15 "I had not then maintain'd the odious cause "Of those that hate me, and despise my laws; "To Israel they had yielded; Israel's God "Eternal rule on Israel had bestow'd; 16 "Them with what happy affluence I had blest! "The fields had furnish'd a continual feast; "From the hard rock had gush'd ambrosial rills, "Sweet as the nectar, which the bee distils.
