Thy Mercy, LORD, to me extend

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercy, LORD, to me extend, Against my Foes my Life defend; Base Men perpetual Strive renewing, With daily Wrongs are me pursuing: Continually my spiteful Foes, To ruin me, with Joy combine; Thou seest, who sit'st enthron'd on high, What mighty Hosts against me join. 2 But though sometimes surpriz'd with Fear, When first I think the Danger near; Yet have I still on thee depended, That my just Cause should be defended: GOD's faithful Promise I shall praise, On which I stedfastly rely; In GOD I trust, and trusting him, The strongest Arm of Flesh defy. 3 My Words they purposely mistake, And by perverting, make them speak A Meaning which I ne'er designed; Thus are their Thoughts to Ill inclined. In close Assemblies they combine, And then most wicked Projects lay; They watch my Steps, and lie in wait To make my harmless Soul their Prey. 4 LORD, wilt thou not such Wrongs regard, Shall they not meet their just Reward! As they have treach'rous Things devised, So let them be by thee castised. Thou numb'rset all my wand'ring Steps, Since I was first compell'd to flee, My very Tears are treasur'd up, O GOD! and registr'd by thee. 5 My Foes shall be therefore be o'erthrown; For GOD my righteous Cause will own; And since to him my Pray'rs directed, I know that I shall be protected. I'll trust GOD's Word, and so despise, Whatever Force Mankind can raise: To thee, O GOD! my Vows are due, To thee alone I'll render Praise. 6 Thou, LORD, shalt and make my Footsteps sure, Thou, LORD, shalt make my Life secure; My Soul from Death thou hast retrieved, And from surrounding Foes relieved, That thus protected by thy Pow'r, I may this Light in Peace enjoy, And in the Service of my GOD, My lengthen'd Days secure employ. Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: [Thy mercy, Lord, to me extend]

Great King of glory and of grace

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Prosperity dangerous Lyrics: [Great King of glory and of grace, We own, with humble shame, How vile is our degen'rate race, And our first father's name.] From Adam flows our tainted blood, The poison reigns within; Makes us averse to all that's good, And willing slaves to sin. [Daily we break thy holy laws, And then reject thy grace; Engaged in the old serpent's cause, Against our Maker's face.l We live estranged afar from God, And love the distance well; With haste we run the dangerous road That leads to death and hell. And can such rebels be restored? Such natures made divine? Let sinners see thy glory, Lord, And feel this power of thine. We raise our Fathers name on high Who his own Spirit sends To bring rebellious strangers nigh, And turn his foes to friends. Scripture: Psalm 73:17-20

Ye Princes who in Might excel

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 Ye Princes who in Might excel, Your grateful Sacrifice prepare; God's glorious Actions loudly tell, His wond'rous Pow'r to all declare; To him alone your Homage pay; To him alone devoutly pray. 2 To His great Name fresh Altars raise; And humbly due Respect afford; Him in his sacred Temple praise, Where he's with solemn State ador'd. To him continual Pray'rs address, His Name with constant Praises bless. 3 'Tis He that with amazing Noise The wat'ry Clouds in sunder breaks: The Ocean trembles at his Voice, When he from Heav'n in thunder speaks; His Voice loud echoes through the Hills, And all the Earth with Terror fills. 4 How full of Pow'r His Voice appears! With what majestick Terror crown'd! Which from the Roots tall Cedars tears, And strews their scatter'd Branches round. Whene'er the LORD in Thunder speaks, The Trees of Libanus he breaks. 5 They, and the Hills on which they grow, Are sometimes hurried far away, And leap, like Hinds that bounding go, Or Unicorns in youthful Play: the Cloud-topp'd Hills themselves will quake, And from their firm Foundations shake. 6 When God in Thunder loudly speaks, And scatter'd Flames of Lightning sends, The Forest nods, the Desart quakes, And stubborn Kadesh lowly bends, To see his pointed Lightnings fly, While Thunder rends the vaulted Sky. 7 He makes the Hinds to cast their Young, And lays the Beasts dark coverts bare; While those that to His Courts belong, Securely sing His Praises there: His Saints in Safety there attend, And at his awful Footstool bend. 8 God rules the angry Floods on high, His boundless Sway shall never cease; His People He'll with Strength supply, And bless His own with constant Peace; On them he sends his Blessings down, And will his Saints with Glory crown. Scripture: Psalm 29 Used With Tune: [Ye Princes who in might excel]

With my whole Heart, my GOD and King

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 With my whole Heart, my GOD and King, Thy worthy Praise I will proclaim; Before the GODS with Joy I'll sing, And ever bless thy holy Name. 2 I'll worship at thy sacred Seat; And, with thy Love divine inspir'd, The Praises of thy Truth repeat, Thy Truth through all thy Works admir'd. 3 Thou graciously inclin'd thine Ear, When I to thee address'd my cry; And when my Soul was press'd with Fear, Didst inward Strength to me supply. 4 Therefore shall ev'ry earthly Prince Thy Name with Prsise pursue; Whom these admir'd Events convince, That all thy Works are just and true. 5 They all thy wond'rous Ways, O LORD, With chearful Songs of Joy shall bless; And all thy glorious Acts record, And still thy awful Pow'r confess. 6 For GOD, although enthron'd on high, Does thence the Poor respect; The Proud far off, his scornful Eye, Beholds with ever just Neglect. 7 Though I with Trouble am oppress'd, He shall my spiteful Foes disarm; Relieve my Soul, when most distress'd, And keep me safe from ev'ry Harm. 8 The LORD, whose Mercies ever last, Shall fix my happy State; And mindful of his Favours past, Shall his own glorious Work compleat. Scripture: Psalm 138 Used With Tune: [With my whole Heart, my God and King]

No Glory, LORD, we claim

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 No Glory, LORD, we claim; But to thy sacred Name Be all the Praise addressed; Thou, who dost ever prove The GOD of Truth an dLOVE, Hath us in Mercy blessed. 2 Why should the Heathen say, "Where doth their GOD delay? "Why are they not released?" Our GOD, who dwells on high, The Sov'reign of the Sky, Hath done whate'er him pleased. 3 Their golden Idol stands, The Work of mortal Hands, It's Mouth no Words expressing; It hath both Eyes and Ears, Yet neither sees nor hears; It's Nose no Smell possessing. 4 Its Hands but useless prove, It's Feet can never move, To one fix'd Place confined; Though Idols senseless are, As stupid they appear, Who them for Gods designed. 5 Israel, on GOD depend, Who only can defend, And succour the Distressed; Priests, Levites, him alone Your GOD and Saviour own; To him be Praise addressed. 6 All ye that fear the LORD, Trust in his holy Word, On him with Faith relying: 'Tis he doth Comfort yield, He is your Help and Shield, Your Wants he's still supplying. 7 We have his Goodness seen, And GOD hath mindful been, Of Israel; he hath blessed Priest, Levites, great and small, His Proselytes, ev'n all, Who hath his Name confessed. 8 For you, and for your Heirs, His Blessing he prepares, Who made both Earth and Heaven; The Skies are all his own, This World he fran'd alone, Which he to us hath given. 9 The Dead, O righteous LORD! To thee no Praise afford, In silent Shades confined: But we will evermore, Thy glorious Name adore, With Hearts to thee resigned. Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: [No Glory, Lord, we claim]

Now Satan comes with dreadful roar

Author: Isaac Watts; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Prosperity dangerous Lyrics: Now Satan comes with dreadful roar And threatens to destroy; He worries whom he can't devour With a malicious joy. Ye sons of God, oppose his rage, Resist, and he'll begone; Thus did our dearest Lord engage And vanquish him alone. Now he appears almost divine, Like innocence and love; But the old serpent lurks within When he assumes the dove. Fly from the false deceiver's tongue, Ye sons of Adam, fly; Our parents found the snare too strong, Nor should the children try. Scripture: Psalm 73

I send the Joys of Earth away

Appears in 220 hymnals Topics: Sensual Delights dangerous Lyrics: 1 I send the Joys of Earth away, Away ye Tempters of the Mind, False as the smooth, deceitful Sea, And empty as the whistling Wind. 2 Your Streams were floating me along Down to the Gulf of black Despair, And whilst I listen'd to your Song, Your Streams had e'en convey'd me there. 3 Lord, I adore thy matchless Grace, That warn'd me of that dark Abyss; That drew me from those treach'rous Seas, And bid me seek superior Bliss. 4 Now to the shining Realms above, I stretch my Hands and glance my Eyes; O for the Pinions of a Dove, To bear me to the Upper Skies! 5 There, from the Bosom of my God, Oceans of endless Pleasure roll; There would I fix my last Abode, And drown the sorrows of my Soul.

Lord! for the just thou dost provide

Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Danger at Sea Lyrics: 1 Lord! for the just thou dost provide; Thou art their sure defence: Eternal Wisdom is their guide; Their help Omnipotence. 2 Though they through foreign lands should roam And breathe the tainted air In burning climates, far from home, Yet thou, their God, art there. 3 Thy goodness sweetens ev'ry soil, Makes ev'ry country please; Thou on the snowy hills dost smile, And smooth'st the rugged seas. 4 When waves on waves, to heav'n uprear'd, Defy'd the pilot's art; When terror in each face appear'd, And sorrow in each heart; 5 To thee I rais'd my humble pray'r To snatch me from the grave; I found "thine ear not slow to hear, "Nor short thine arm to save." 6 Thou gav'st the word — the winds did cease, The storms obey'd thy will; The raging sea was hush'd in peace, And ev'ry wave was still. 7 For this, my life in ev'ry state, A life of praise shall be; And death (when death shall be my fate) Shall join my soul to thee.
