The Last Judgment

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #91 (1740) Topics: Sin of Tongue First Line: The Lord the Sov'reign, sends his Summons forth Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Sov'reign, sends his Summons forth, Calls the South Nations, and awakes the North; From East to West the sounding Orders spread, Thro' distant Worlds and Regions of the Dead: No more shall Atheists mock his long Delay; His vengeance sleeps no more: Behold the Day. 2 Behold the Judge descends; his Guards are nigh; Tempest and Fire attend him down the Sky: Heav'n, Earth, and Hell, draw near; let all Things come To hear his Justice, and the Sinner's Doom; But gather first my Saints (the Judge commands) Bring 'em, ye Angels, from their distant Lands. 3 Behold my Cov'nant stands for ever good, Seal'd by th' eternal Sacrifice in Blood, And sign'd with all their Names; the Greek, the Jew, That paid the ancient Worship or the new, There's no Distinction here; come, spread their Thrones, And near me seat my Fav'rites and my Sons. 4 I their Almighty Saviour and their GOD, I am their Judge; ye Heav'ns, proclaim abroad My just eternal Sentence, and declare Those awful Truths that Sinners dread to hear; Sinners in Zion, tremble and retire; I doom the painted Hypocrite to Fire. 5 Not for the Want of Goats or Bullocks slain Do I condemn thee; Bulls and Goats are vain Without the Flames of Love; In vain the Store Of brutal Off'rings that were mine before; Mine are the tamer Beasts and savage Breed, Flocks, Herds, and Fields and Forests where they feed. 6 If I were hungry, wou'd I ask thee Food? When did I thirst, or drink thy Bullocks Blood? Can I be flatter'd with thy cringing Bows, Thy solemn Chatt'rings and fantastick Vows; Are my Eyes charm'd thy Vestments to behold? Glaring in Gems, and gay in woven Gold? 7 Unthinking Wretch! how could'st thou hope to please, A GOD, a Spirit, with such Toys as these; While with my Grace & Statutes on thy Tongue, Thou lov'st Deceit, and dost thy Brother wrong, In vain to pious Forms thy Zeal pretends, Thieves and Adult'rers are thy chosen Friends. 8 Silent I waited with long-suffEring Love, But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? And cherish such an impious thought within? That GOD the Righteous, would indulge thy Sin? Behold my Terrors now; my Thunders roll, And thy own Crimes affright thy guilty Soul. 9 Sinners, awake betimes; ye Fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful Morning rise; Change your vain Thoughts, your crooked Works amend; Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your Friend; Lest like a Lion, his last Vengeance tear Your trembling Souls, and no Deliv'rer near. Scripture: Psalm 50 Languages: English

Who is this fair one in distress

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #570 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sins of tongue Lyrics: [Who is this fair one in distress, That travels from the wilderness? And pressed with sorrows and with sins, On her beloved Lord she leans. This is the spouse of Christ our God, Bought with the treasure of his blood; And her request and her complaint Is but the voice of every saint.] "O let my name engraven stand Both on thy heart and on thy hand; Seal me upon thine arm, and wear That pledge of love for ever there. "Stronger than death thy love is known, Which floods of wrath could never drown; And hell and earth in vain combine To quench a fire so much divine. "But I am jealous of my heart, Lest it should once from thee depart; Then let thy name be well impressed As a fair signet on my breast. "Till thou hast brought me to thy home, Where fears and doubts can never come, Thy count'nance let me often see, And often thou shalt hear from me. "Come, my Beloved, haste away, Cut short the hours of thy delay; Fly like a youthful hart or roe Over the hills where spices grow." Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5-7 Languages: English

Psalm 12

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.23 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sins of tongue First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear, Virtue and truth will fly away; A faithful man amongst us here Will scarce be found, if thou delay. The whole discourse, when neighbors meet, Is filled with trifles loose and vain; Their lips are flattery and deceit, And their proud language is profane. But lips that with deceit abound Shall not maintain their triumph long; The God of vengeance will confound The flattering and blaspheming tongue. "Yet shall our words be free," they cry; "Our tongues shall be controlled by none: Where is the Lord will ask us why? Or say our lips are not our own?" The Lord, who sees the poor oppressed, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. Thy word, O Lord, though often tried, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, sev'n times purified From dross and mixture, shines so clear. Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the holy soul from harm; Though when the vilest men have power, On every side will sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Psalm 34 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.77 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sins of tongue First Line: Lord, I will bless thee all my days Lyrics: Lord, I will bless thee all my days, Thy praise shall dwell upon my tongue My soul shall glory in thy grace, While saints rejoice to hear the song. Come, magnify the Lord with me, Come, let us all exalt his name; I sought th' eternal God, and he Has not exposed my hope to shame. I told him all my secret grief, My secret groaning reached his ears; He gave my inward pains relief; And calmed the tumult of my fears. To him the poor lift up their eyes, Their faces feel the heav'nly shine; A beam of mercy from the skies Fills them with light and joy divine. His holy angels pitch their tents Around the men that serve the Lord; O fear and love him, all his saints, Taste of his grace, and trust his word. The wild young lions, pinched with pain And hunger, roar through all the wood; But none shall seek the Lord in vain, Nor want supplies of real good. Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English

Psalm 34 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.78 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sins of tongue First Line: Children, in years and knowledge young Lyrics: Children, in years and knowledge young, Your parents' hope, your parents' joy, Attend the counsels of my tongue, Let pious thoughts your minds employ. If you desire a length of days, And peace to crown your mortal state, Restrain your feet from impious ways, Your lips from slander and deceit. The eyes of God regard his saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets his frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. To humble souls and broken hearts God with his grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope his love imparts, When men in deep contrition lie. He tells their tears, he counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His Spirit heals their broken bones, They in his praise employ their breath. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English

Psalm 34 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.79 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sins of tongue First Line: I'll bless the Lord from day to day Lyrics: I'll bless the Lord from day to day; How good are all his ways! Ye humble souls that use to pray, Come, help my lips to praise. Sing to the honor of his name, How a poor suff'rer cried, Nor was his hope exposed to shame, Nor was his suit denied. When threat'ning sorrows round me stood, And endless fears arose, Like the loud billows of a flood, Redoubling all my woes; I told the Lord my sore distress, With heavy groans and tears; He gave my sharpest torments ease, And silenced all my fears. [O sinners, come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways; And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell; What ills their heav'nly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] [O love the Lord, ye saints of his; His eye regards the just: How richly blest their portion is Who make the Lord their trust! Young lions, pinched with hunger, roar And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English

Psalm 34 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.80 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sins of tongue First Line: Come, children, learn to fear the Lord Lyrics: Come, children, learn to fear the Lord And that your days be long, Let not a false or spiteful word Be found upon your tongue. Depart from mischief, practise love, Pursue the works of peace; So shall the Lord your ways approve, And set your souls at ease. His eyes awake to guard the just, His ears attend their cry; When broken spirits dwell in dust, The God of grace is nigh. What though the sorrows here they taste Are sharp and tedious too, The Lord, who saves them all at last, Is their supporter now. Evil shall smite the wicked dead; But God secures his own, Prevents the mischief when they slide, Or heals the broken bone. When desolation, like a flood, O'er the proud sinner rolls, Saints find a refuge in their God, For he redeemed their souls. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English
