Let them neglect thy glory, Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #139 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: Let them neglect thy glory, Lord, Who never knew thy grace; But our loud songs shall still record The wonders of thy praise. We raise our shouts, O God, to thee, And send them to thy throne; All glory to th' united Three, The undivided One. 'Twas he (and we'll adore his name) That formed us by a word; 'Tis he restores our ruined frame: Salvation to the Lord! Hosannah! let the earth and skies Repeat the joyful sound Rocks, hills, and vales, reflect the voice In one eternal round. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

Whence do our mournful thoughts arise?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #202 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: Whence do our mournful thoughts arise? And where's our courage fled? Have restless sin and raging hell Struck all our comforts dead? Have we forgot th' almighty name That formed the earth and sea? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? Treasures of everlasting might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the conquest to the weak And treads their foes to hell. Mere mortal power shall fade and die, And youthful vigor cease: But we that wait upon the Lord Shall feel our strength increase. The saints shall mount on eagles' wings, And taste the promised bliss, Till their unwearied feet arrive Where perfect pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30 Languages: English

Praise due to GOD, not to Idols

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #250 (1740) Topics: Idolatry reproved First Line: Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King, Your sweetest Passions raise, Your pious Pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the Praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and Works unknown Are his divine Employ; But still his Saints are near his Throne, His Treasure and his Joy. 3 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea confess his Hand; He bids the Vapours rise; Lightning and Storm at his Command Sweep through the sounding Skies. 4 All Pow'r that Gods or Kings have claim'd Is found with him alone; But Heathen Gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the Stocks or Stones they trust Can give them Show'rs of Rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r 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 O Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there. Scripture: Psalm 135 Languages: English

Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #494 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name, While in his holy courts ye wait, Ye saints, that to his house belong, Or stand attending at his gate. Praise ye the Lord, the Lord is good; To praise his name is sweet employ: Isr'el he chose of old, and still His church is his peculiar joy. The Lord himself will judge his saints; He treats his servants as his friends; And when he hears their sore complaints, Repents the sorrows that he sends. Through every age the Lord declares His name, and breaks th' oppressor's rod He gives his suff'ring servants rest, And will be known th' Almighty God. Bless ye the Lord, who taste his love, People and priest, exalt his name: Amongst his saints he ever dwells; His church is his Jerusalem. Scripture: Psalm 135:19-21 Languages: English

Not to our names, thou only just and true

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #613 (1835) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: Not to our names, thou only just and true, Not to our worthless names is glory due; Thy power and grace, thy truth and justice, claim Immortal honors to thy sovereign name: Shine through the earth from heav'n, thy blest abode Nor let the heathens say, "And where's your God?" Heav'n is thine higher court, there stands thy throne, And through the lower worlds thy will is done; Our God framed all this earth, these heav'ns he spread; But fools adore the gods their hands have made: The kneeling crowd, with looks devout, behold Their silver saviors, and their saints of gold. [Vain are those artful shapes of eyes and ears; The molten image neither sees nor hears; Their hands are helpless, nor their feet can move, They have no speech, nor thought, nor power, nor love; Yet sottish mortals make their long complaints To their deaf idols and their moveless saints. The rich have statues well adorned with gold; The poor, content with gods of coarser mould, With tools of iron carve the senseless stock, Lopped from a tree, or broken from a rock; People and priest drive on the solemn trade, And trust the gods that saws and hammers made.] Be heav'n and earth amazed! 'Tis hard to say Which is more stupid, or their gods or they: O Isr'el, trust the Lord; he hears and sees, He knows thy sorrows and restores thy peace; His worship does a thousand comforts yield, He is thy help, and he thy heav'nly shield. O Britain, trust the Lord: thy foes in vain Attempt thy ruin, and oppose his reign; Had they prevailed, darkness had closed our days, And death and silence had forbid his praise: But we are saved, and live; let songs arise, And Britain bless the God that built the skies. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English
