Mae 'r iachawdwriaeth râd

Author: Pedr Fardd Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:1-2 Lyrics: Another son is killed, Another daughter dies, And loving, waiting homes are filled With loved ones’ cries. As rivers never sleep, So wars flow on and on. Hang up your harps, sit down and weep For those now gone! We grieve for children lost, For hearts too sad to pray; We mourn, O Lord, the growing cost Of hatred’s way. And sure as threats increase And anger turns to war, We pray that we may find a peace Worth struggling for. We know your way, O Lord, For all your people here: A plowshare from a fighting sword, A transformed spear! Now comfort those who grieve, Be in each saddened home, And by your grace may we believe— And seek Shalom. Topics: Justice; Lament; Peacemaking Used With Tune: LEONI

Psalm CXXXVII

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 First Line: Where Babel's rivers winding stray Lyrics: I. Where Babel's rivers winding stray A silent, cool retreat we chose; There lost in thoughtful sadness lay, And pond'ring o'er our mighty woes. II. Our mighty woes increasing rise, Revolving Sion's hapless fate; And louder griefs, and streaming eyes, Deplore her wretched, ruin'd state. III. No more could music sooth our cares; Our harps neglected, and unstrung, (Vanish'd their once delightful airs,) All silent, on the willows hung. IV. Our barb'rous masters mock'd our pains, While with insulting haughty tongues, They bade us tune the charming strains, And give them one of Sion's songs. V. Ah, no; shall Sion's sacred airs, Inspir'd by heav'n, be thus prophan'd? Be sung to please such ears as theirs, Whose impious arms destroy'd our land? VI. Far from our dear-lov'd native soil, Shall we resume the pleasing lay? Can rugged bondage wear a smile, Or ever-wasting grief be gay? VII. If I forget thy ruin'd state, Jerusalem, my heart's desire; Then let my useless hand forget Her skill to strike the sounding lyre. VIII. If I indulge a mirthful song, Or thy dear name my mem'ry leave; All silent, let my faithless tongue Fast to my mouth forever cleave. IX. Jerusalem, lamented name! Shall still my mournful voice employ; And I the sadly pleasing theme Prefer to ev'ry thought of joy. X. Remember, Lord, proud Edom's sons, Who cruel, urg'd the conqu'ring foe, To raze her beauteous tow'rs at once, And lay her lofty structures low. XI. Such rain, Babel, thou shalt share, And sure reward awaits thy guilt; Then shall thy heart untaught to spare, Repay the blood thy hand has spilt. XII. Happy the man who then shall rise, (While heav'n the righteous vengeance owns,) And dash with unrelenting eyes, Thy bleeding babes against the stones.

Safety in Christ

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:5 First Line: Thy purchased people, gracious Lamb Lyrics: 1 Thy purchased people, gracious Lamb, Thou never canst forget; The piercing nails have wrote their name Upon thy hands and feet. 2 Satan, in vain, with rage assails Thy dear peculiar ones; For them thy righteousness avails; For them thy blood atones. 3 Vainly against the sheep he strives, And wars with the Most High; Their glorious Head for ever lives, Nor can his members die. 4 Jesus shall his elect avenge, Nor from his own remove; Nor cancel his decree, nor change His everlasting love.
