Power and Government from GOD alone.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #134 (1740) Topics: Magistrates raised and deposed First Line: To Thee, most Holy, and most High Lyrics: 1 To Thee, most Holy, and most High, To Thee we bring our thankful Praise; Thy Works declare thy Name is nigh, Thy Works of Wonder and of grace. 2 Britain was doom'd to be a Slave, Her Frame dissolv'd, her Fears were great; When GOD a new Supporter gave, To bear the Pillars of the state. 3 He from thy Hand receiv'd his Crown, And swore to rule by wholesome Laws; His Foot shall tread th' Oppressor down, His Arm defend the righteous Cause. 4 Let haughty Sinners sink their Pride, Nor lift so high their scornful Head; But lay their foolish Thoughts aside, And own the King that GOD hath made. 5 Such Honours never come by Chance, Nor do the Winds Promotion blow; 'Tis GOD the Judge doth one advance, 'Tis GOD that lays another low. 6 No vain Pretence to Royal Birth Shall fix a Tyrant on the throne: GOD, the great Sov'reign of the Earth, Will rise, and make his Justice known. 7 [His Hand holds out the dreadful Cup Of Vengeance, mix'd with various Plagues, To make the Wicked drink 'em up, Wring out, and taste the bitter dregs. 8 Now shall the Lord exalt the Just; And while he tramples on the Proud, And lays their Glory in the Dust, My Lips shall sing his Praise aloud.] Scripture: Psalm 75 Languages: Latin

O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland. Languages: English Tune Title: HANDEL'S 148TH PSALM

Absurd and vain attempt! to bind

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #695 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: For the President, Congress, Magistrates Lyrics: 1 Absurd and vain attempt! to bind With iron chains the free-born mind, To force conviction, and reclaim The wand'ring by destructive flame. 2 Bold arrogance! to snatch from heav'n Dominion not to mortals giv'n; O'er conscience to usurp the throne, Accountable to God alone. 3 Jesus! thy gentle law of love Does no such cruelties approve; Mild as thy self, thy doctrine wields No arms but what persuasion yields. 4 By proofs divine, and reason strong, It draws the willing soul along; And conquests to thy church acquires By eloquence which heav'n inspires. 5 O happy, who are thus compell'd To the rich feast, by Jesus held! May we this blessing know, and prize The light which liberty supplies.

Mercy and judgment are my song

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Magistrate's Psalm Lyrics: 1 Mercy and judgment are my song, And since they both to thee belong, My gracious God, my righteous king, To Thee my songs and vows I bring. 2 If I am rais'd to bear the sword; I’ll take my counsel from thy word; Thy justice and thy heav'nly grace Shall be the pattern of my ways. 3 Let wisdom all my actions guide And let my God with me reside; No wicked thing shall dwell with me Which may provoke thy jealousy. 4 No sons of slander, rage and strife Shall be companions of my life; The haughty look, the heart of pride, Within my doors shall ne’er abide. 5 [I’ll search the land, and raise the just To posts of honour, wealth and trust; The men that work thy holy will Shall be my friends and favorites still.] 6 In vain shall sinners hope to rise By flattering or malicious lies; Nor, while the innocent I guard, The bold offenders e'er be spar'd. 7 The impious crew (that factious band) Shall hide their heads, or quit the land; And all that break the public rest, Where I have pow'r, shall be supprest.
