O God, Your Judgments Give the King

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 O God, your judgments give the King, his son your righteousness; with right he shall your people judge, your poor with uprightness. And then the mountains shall bring forth to all the people peace; the hills because of righteousness their blessing shall increase. 2 The people's poor ones he shall judge, the needy's children bless; and he will break in pieces those who would the poor oppress. The just shall flourish in his days, and prosper in his reign; and while the moon endures he shall abundant peace maintain. 3 His large and great dominion shall from sea to sea extend; it from the River shall reach forth to earth's remotest end. Yea, kings shall all before him bow, all nations shall obey; he'll save the needy when they cry, the poor who have no stay. 4 Now blessed be the Lord our God, the God of Israel, for he alone does wondrous works in glory that excel. And blessed be his glorious name to all eternity. The whole earth let his glory fill; amen, so let it be.

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them First Line: My God, the steps of pious men Lyrics: 1 My God, the steps of pious men Are order'd by thy will: Though they should fall, they rise again, Thy Hand supports them still. 2 The Lord delights to see their ways, Their virtue he approves: He'll ne'er deprive them of his grace, Nor leave the men he loves. 3 The heavenly heritage is theirs, Their portion and their home; He feasts them now, and makes them heirs Of blessings long to come. 4 Wait on the Lord, ye sons of men, Nor fear when tyrants frown; Ye shall confess their pride was vain, When justice casts them down. Pause. 5 The haughty sinner have I seen Nor fearing man nor God, Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green, Spreading his arms abroad: 6 And lo, he vanish'd from the ground, Destroy'd by hands unseen; Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found Where all that pride had been. 7 But mark the man of righteousness, His several steps attend; True pleasure runs thro' all his ways, And peaceful is his end. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37

The Cure of Envy, Frefulness, and Unbelief; or, The Rewards of the Righteous and the Wicked; or, The World's Hatred, and the Saint's Patience

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Charity to the poor First Line: Why should I vex my Soul, and fret Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my Soul, and fret To see the Wicked rise? Or envy Sinners waxing great By Violence and Lies. 2 As flowery Grass cut down at Noon, Before the Evening fades, So shall their Glories vanish soon In everlasting Shades. 3 Then let me make the Lord my Trust, And practise all that's good; So shall I dwell among the Just, And he'll provide me Food. 4 I to my GOD my Ways commit, And chearful wait his Will; Thy Hand, which guides my doubtful Feet, Shall my Desires fulfil. 5 Mine Innocence shalt thou display, And make thy Judgments known, Fair as the Light of dawning Day, And glorious as the Noon. 6 The Meek at last the Earth possess, And are the Heirs of Heav'n; True Riches, with abundant Peace, To humble Souls are giv'n. Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his Way, Nor let your Anger rise, Tho' Providence should long delay To punish haughty Vice. 8 Let Sinners join to break your Peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their Day of Vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threat'ning Sword, Have bent the murd'rous Bow, To slay the Men that fear the Lord, And bring the Righteous low. 10 My GOD shall break their Bows, and burn Their persecuting Darts, Shall their own Swords against them turn, And Pain surprize their Hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15

Be Thou My Helper in the Strife

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife, O Lord, my strong Defender be; Thy mighty shield protect my life, Thy spear confront the enemy. Amid the conflict, O my Lord, Thy precious promise let me hear, The faithful, reassuring word: I am thy Savior, do not fear. 2 Ashamed, confounded let them be Who seek my ruin and disgrace; O let Thy angel fight for me, And drive my foes before his face. Without a cause my life they sought, Without a case their plots they laid; Themselves within their snares be caught, And be my crafty foes dismayed. 3 My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. For who, O Lord, is like to Thee, Defender of the poor and meek? The needy Thy salvation see When mighty foes their ruin seek. 4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood And told of crimes beyond belief; Returning evil for my good, They overwhelm my soul with grief. When in affliction they were sad, I wept and made their grief my own; But in my trouble they are glad And strive that I may be o'erthrown. 5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay? My soul for Thy salvation waits; My thankfulness I will display Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates. Let not my enemies rejoice And wrongfully exult o'er me; They speak not peace, but lift their voice To trouble those that peaceful be. 6 My foes with joy my woes survey, But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all; O be no longer far away, Nor silent when on Thee I call. O haste to my deliverance now, O Lord, my righteous cause maintain; My Lord and God alone art Thou; Awake, and make thy justice plain. 7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee, Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray; Let not my foes exult o'er me And laugh with joy at my dismay. With shame and trouble those requite Who would my righteous cause destroy; But those who in the good delight, Let them be glad and shout for joy. 8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified, Because Thy servants Thou dost bless; And I, from morn till eventide, Will daily praise Thy righteousness. My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. Scripture: Psalm 35 Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Rich and poor Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee: your life is still a summons to serve humanity, to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts unbowed. 2 O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back your holy sway; forbid false love of country, that turns us from your call who lifts above the nation the neighborhood of all. 3 Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, that knows not race nor station as bound'ries of the mind; that learns to value beauty, in heart, or mind, or soul, and longs to see God's children as sacred, perfect, whole. 4 Stir up in us a protest against unneeded wealth; for some go starved and hungry who plead for work and health. Once more give us your challenge above our noisy day, and come to lead us forward along your holy way. Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
