Petitions for Deliverance

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: In full assurance of Thy grace Lyrics: 1 In full assurance of Thy grace To thee my prayer ascend; In Thy abounding love and truth, O God, salvation send. 2 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray, From tides of hatred save; Let not the waters overflow, Redeem me from the grave. 3 Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good, O answer me in grace, And in the riches of Thy love O turn to me Thy face. 4 Hide not Thy face from my distress, A speedy answer send; Draw near to me, my soul redeem, From all my foes defend. 5 Well known to Thee is my reproach, My shame and my disgrace; The adversaries of my soul Are all before Thy face. 6 My heart is broken by reproach, My soul is full of grief; I looked in vain for comforters, For pity and relief. 7 They gave me bitter gall for food, And taunting words they spake; They gave me vinegar to drink, My burning thirst to slake. 8 Their peace and plenty be their snare, In blindness let them grope; Thy indignation on them pour, And desolate their hope. 9 Because they proudly persecute Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite, Let them be blotted from Thy book And banished from Thy sight. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

God Shall Arise and by His Might

Author: Rev. B. Essenburg Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 God shall arise and by His might Put all His enemies to flight With shame and consternation. His haters, haughty though they be, Shall at His august presence flee In utter desolation; For when Jehovah shall appear, He shall consume, afar and near, All those that evil cherish. As smoke before his dreadful ire, As wax is molten by the fire, So shall the wicked perish. 2 But let the righteous, blessed of yore, Joy in their God as ne'er before, Faith's victory achieving. Their joy shall then unbounded be Who see God's face eternally, Their heart's desire receiving. Exalt, exalt the Name of God; Sing ye His royal fame abroad With fervent exultation; Cast up a highway smooth and wide That through the deserts He may ride, Jehovah, our salvation. 3 Sing praise, thou chosen Israel, Who with the folds of sheep dost dwell; Thou art God's joy and treasure. Like doves on golden-feathered wing, In holy beauty thou shalt bring Thy praise to God with pleasure. Jehovah scattered kings and foes, Redeeming thee from grievous woes; Praise is thy holy duty. For God did choose a mount so fair That Bashan's height cannot compare With Zion's fame and beauty. 4 The Lord is great, His might untold, His chariots thousand thousand fold, His armies ne'er confounded. Among them God with joy displays The glory that in Moses' days Mount Sinai surrounded. When Thou, O Lord, in glory bright, Ascendedst in the heavenly height Our captive-bonds to sever, Rich gifts from those who did rebel Thou didst receive, that men might dwell With Thee, O Lord, forever. 5 Let God be praised with reverence deep; He daily comes our lives to steep In bounties freely given. God cares for us, our God is He; Who would not fear His majesty In earth as well as heaven? Our God upholds us in the strife; To us He grants eternal life, And saves from desolation. He hears the needy when they cry, He saves their souls when death draws nigh, This God is our salvation. 6 Ye kings and kingdoms of the earth, Extol Jehovah's matchless worth With psalms of adoration. Praise Him whose glory rides on high, Whose thunders roll through clouded sky With mighty intonation. Ascribe ye strength to God alone, Whose worth in Israel is known, For whom the heavens tremble. O Lord, our strength, to Thee we bow, For great and terrible art Thou Out of Thy holy temple. Scripture: Psalm 68 Used With Tune: GREITER

And must the dead arise, And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven, before His face Astonish'd shrink away? 3 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the gospel's gentle voice, What joyful tidings spread? 4 Ye sinners, seek His grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there. 5 So shall that curse remove, By which the Saviour bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. 2 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their tho'ts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to nought, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against Thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 3 O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee. For a blessing from Thy store To the righteous Thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With Thy favor as a shield. Scripture: Psalm 5 Used With Tune: MARTYN

Ere the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Blessings of a person; End of the righteous and wicked; Happy saint and cursed sinner; Judgment day; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Meditation; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy Lyrics: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years? But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. Archangels leave their high abode To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel. Scripture: Colossians 1:16

The Lord the Righteous Judge
