The Divine Nature, Providence and Grace

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #270 (1740) Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: Praise ye the Lord: 'Tis good to raise Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord; 'Tis good to raise Our Hearts and Voices in his Praise; His Nature and his Works invite To make this Duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers Nations to his Name; His Mercy melts the stubborn Soul, And makes the broken Spirit whole. 3 He form'd the Stars, those heav'nly Flames; He counts their Numbers, calls their Names; His Wisdom's vast, and knows no Bound, A Deep where all our Thoughts are drown'd. 4 Great is our Lord, and great his Might; And all his Glories infinite: He crowns the Meek, rewards the Just, And treads the Wicked to the Dust. Pause. 5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his Clouds all round the Sky; There he prepares the fruitful Rain, Nor lets the Drops descend in vain. 6 He makes the Grass the Hills adorn; And cloaths the smiling Fields with Corn; The Beasts with Food his Hands supply, And the young Ravens when they cry. 7 What is the Creature's Skill or Force, The sprightly Man, the warlike Horse, The nimble Wit, the active Limb? All are too mean Delights for him. 8 But Saints are lovely in his Sight; He views his Children with Delight; He sees their Hope, he knows their Fear, And looks and loves his Image there. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

Summer and Winter: A Song for Great-Britain

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #271 (1740) Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD Lyrics: 1 O Britain, praise thy mighty GOD, And make his Honours known abroad, He bid the Ocean round thee flow; Not Bars of Brass could guard thee so. 2 Thy Children are secure and blest; Thy Shores have Peace, thy Cities Rest; He feeds thy Sons with finest Wheat, And adds his Blessing to their Meat. 3 Thy changing Seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter Rains; His Flakes of Snow like Wool he sends, And thus the springing Corn defends. 4 With hoary Frost he strews the Ground; His Hail descends with clatt'ring Sound: Where is the Man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful Cold? 5 He bids the Southern Breezes blow; The Ice dissolve, the Waters flow; But he hath nobler Works and Ways To call the Britons to his Praise. 6 To all the Isle his Laws are shown, His Gospel through the Nation known; He hath not thus reveal'd his Word To ev'ry Land: Praise ye the Lord.

The Seasons of the Year

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #272 (1740) Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: With Songs and Honours sounding loud Lyrics: 1 With Songs and Honours sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the Heav'ns he spreads his Cloud, And Waters veil the Sky. 2 He sends his Show'rs of Blessings down To chear the Plains below; He makes the Grass the Mountains crown, And Corn in Vallies grow. 3 He gives the grazing Ox his Meat, He hears the Ravens cry; But Man who tastes his finest Wheat, Should raise his Honours high. 4 His steady Counsels change the Face Of the declining Year; He bids the Sun cut short his Race, And wint'ry Days appear. 5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the Ground; The liquid Streams forbear to flow, In icy Fetters bound. 6 When from the dreadful Stores on high He pours the rattling Hail, The Wretch that dares this GOD defy Shall find his Courage fail. 7 He sends his Word, and melts the Snow, The Fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer Gales to blow, And bids the Spring return. 8 The changing Wind, the flying Cloud, Obey his mighty Word; With Songs and Honours sounding loud, Praise ye the sov'reign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:7-9 Languages: English

Not different food, or different dress

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #315 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer and faith of persecuted saints Lyrics: Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress, Compose the kingdom of our Lord; But peace, and joy, and righteousness, Faith, and obedience to his word. When weaker Christians we despise, We do the gospel mighty wrong; For God, the gracious and the wise, Receives the feeble with the strong. Let pride and wrath be banished hence; Meekness and love our souls pursue; Nor shall our practice give offence To saints, the Gentile or the Jew. Scripture: Romans 14:17 Languages: English

I shall not die, but live and tell The wonders of the Lord; He hath not giv'n my soul to death, But chastened and restored. Scripture: Psalm 118 Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVENLY FOLD

Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With rev'rence and with fear; Tho' dust and ashes in your sight, We may, we must draw near. We perish if we cease from pray'r; Oh! grant us pow'r to pray; And when to meet you we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. 2. Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe, Fightings without, and fears within, Lord, where else shall we go? God of all grace, we bring to you A broken, contrite heart; Give what your eye delights to view; Truth in the inward part. 3. Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give, A strong, desiring confidence To hear your voice and live, Faith in the only Sacrifice That can for sin atone, To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes On Christ, on Christ alone: 4. Patience to watch, and wait, and weep, Tho' mercy long delay, Courage, our fainting souls to keep, And trust you, tho' you slay. Give these, and then your will be done; Thus strengthened with all might, We, thru' your Spirit and your Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

And will the God of grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #490 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Persecuted saints their prayer and faith Lyrics: And will the God of grace Perpetual silence keep? The God of justice hold his peace, And let his vengeance sleep? Behold, what cursed snares The men of mischief spread! The men that hate thy saints and thee Lift up their threat'ning head. Against thy hidden ones Their counsels they employ, And malice, with her watchful eye, Pursues them to destroy. The noble and the base Into thy pastures leap; The lion and the stupid ass Conspire to vex thy sheep. "Come, let us join," they cry, "To root them from the ground, Till not the name of saints remain, Nor mem'ry shall be found." Awake, Almighty God, And call thy wrath to mind; Give them like forests to the fire, Or stubble to the wind. Convince their madness, Lord, And make them seek thy name; Or else their stubborn rage confound, That they may die in shame. Then shall the nations know That glorious, dreadful word, Jehovah is thy name alone, And thou the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 83 Languages: English
