The Saints Safety and Hope in evil Times; or, Sins of the Tongue complained of, viz. Blasphemy, Falshood, etc.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #20 (1740) Topics: Atheism practical First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: 1 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. 2 The whole Discourse, when Neighbors meet, Is fill'd with Trifles loose and vain; Their Lips are Flatt'ry and Deceit, And their proud Language is profane. 3 But Lips that with Deceit abound Shall not maintain their Triumph long; The God of Vengeance will confound The flatt'ring and blaspheming tongue. 4 "Yet shall our Words be free" they cry; "Our tongues shall be controul'd by none: "Where is the Lord will ask us why? "Or, say, our Lips are not our own?" 5 The Lord, who sees the Poor oppresst, And hears th' Oppressor's haughty Strain, Will rise to give his Children Rest, Nor shall they trust his Word in vain. 6 Thy Word, O Lord, tho' often try'd, Void of Deceit shall still appear; Not Silver seven Times purify'd From Dross and Mixture, shines so clear. 7 Thy Grace shall in the darkest Hour Defend the holy Soul from Harm; Tho' when the vilest Men have Power, On ev'ry Side will Sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Complaint of a general Corruption of Manners; or, The Promise and Signs of CHRIST's coming to Judgment

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #21 (1740) Topics: Atheism practical First Line: Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail, Religion loses Ground; The Sons of Violence prevail, And Treacheries abound. 2 Their Oaths and Promises they break, Yet act the Flatterer's Part; With fair, deceitful Lips they speak, And with a double Heart. 3 If we reprove some hateful Lye, How is their fury stirr'd? "Are not our Lips our own," they cry, "And who shall be our Lord?" 4 Scoffers appear on every Side, Where a vile Race of Men Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride, And bears the Sword in vain. Pause. 5 Lord, when Iniquities abound, And Blasphemy grows bold, When Faith is hardly to be found, And Love is waxen cold; 6 Is not thy Chariot hast'ning on; Hast thou not giv'n this Sign; May we not trust and live upon A Promise so divine? 7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise, "And make Oppressors flee; "I shall appear to their Surprize, "And set my Servants free. 8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd, Thro' Ages shall endure; Then Men that in thy Truth confide Shall find the Promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

By Nature all Men are Sinners

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #23 (1740) Topics: Atheism practical First Line: Fools in their Hearts believe and say Lyrics: First Part: 1 Fools in their Hearts believe and say "That all Religion's vain; There is no GOD that reigns on high, Or minds th' Affairs of Men." 2 From Thoughts so dreadful and prophane, Corrupt Discourse proceeds; And in their impious Hands are found Abominable deeds. 3 The Lord from his Celestial throne Look'd down on Things below, To find the Man that sought his Grace, Or did his Justice know. 4 By Nature all are gone astray, Their Practice all the same; There's none that fears his Maker's Hand, There's none that loves his Name. 5 Their Tongues are us'd to speak Deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to Mischief are their Feet; Nor know the Paths of Peace. 6 Such Seeds of Sin (that bitter Root) In ev'ry Heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner Fruit, Till Grace refine the Ground. Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English

High in the Heav'ns, eternal GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36a (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 High in the Heav'ns, eternal GOD, Thy Goodness in full Glory shines; Thy Truth shall break thro' every Cloud That veils and darkens thy Designs. 2 For ever firm thy Justice stands, As Mountains their Foundations keep; Wise are the Wonders of thy Hands, Thy Judgments are a mighty Deep. 3 Thy Providence is kind and large, Both Man and Beast thy Bounty share; The whole Creation is thy Charge, But Saints are thy peculiar Care. 4 My GOD! how excellent thy Grace, Whence all our Hope and Comfort springs? The Sons of Adam in Distress Fly to the Shadow of thy Wings. 5 From the Provisions of thy House We shall be fed with sweet Repast; There Mercy like a River flows, And brings Salvation to our Taste. 6 Life, like a Fountain rich and free, Springs from the Presence of the Lord; And in thy Light our Souls shall see The Glories promis'd in thy Word.

While Men grow bold in wicked Ways

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36b (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 While Men grow bold in wicked Ways, And yet a GOD they own, My Heart within me often says, "Their Thoughts believe there's none." 2 Their Thoughts and Ways at once declare (Whate'er their Lips profess) GOD hath no Wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his Grace. 3 What strange Self-flatt'ry blinds their Eyes? But there's a hast'ning Hour, When they shall see with sore Surprize The Terrors of thy Pow'r. 4 Thy Justice shall maintain its Throne, Tho' Mountains melt away; Thy Judgments are a World unknown, A deep unfathom'd Sea. 5 Above these Heav'n's created Rounds, Thy Mercies, Lord, extend: Thy Truth out-lives the narrow Bounds, Where Time and Nature end. 6 Safety to Man thy Goodness brings, Nor overlooks the Beast; Beneath the Shadow of thy Wings Thy Children chuse to rest. 7 [From Thee, when Creature-Streams run low. And mortal Comforts die, Perpetual Springs of Life shall flow, And raise our Pleasures high. 8 Tho' all created Light decay, And Death close up our Eyes, Thy Presence makes eternal Day, Where Clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-9 Languages: English

When Man grows bold in Sin

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P36c (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 When Nan grows bold in Sin, My Heart within me cries, "He hath no Faith of God within, Nor Fear before his Eyes." 2 [He walks a-while conceal'd In a Self-flatt'ring Dream, Till his dark Crimes at once reveal'd Expose his hateful Name.] 3 His Heart is false and foul, His Words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his Soul, And leaves no Goodness there. 4 He plots upon his Bed New Mischiefs to fulfil He sets his Heart, and Hand, and Head, To practise all that's ill. 5 But there's a dreadful GOD, Tho' Men renounce his Fear; His Justice hid behind the Cloud, Shall one great Day appear. 6 His Truth transcends the Sky, In Heav'n his Mercies dwell; Deep as the Sea his Judgments lie, His Anger burns to Hell. 7 How excellent his Love, Whence all our Safety springs! O never let my Soul remove From underneath his Wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 Languages: English
