O what a stiff rebellious House

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78b (1766) Topics: Religious Education Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry Walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the Foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.

When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78c (1766) Topics: Religious Education Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves, And fills their Hearts with Dread; Yet he forgives the Men he loves, And sends them heav'nly Bread. 2 He fed them with a lib'ral Hand, And made his Treasures known; He gave the Midnight Clouds Command To pour Provision down. 3 The Manna, like a Morning Show'r, Lay thick around their Feet; The Corn of Heav'n, so light, so pure, As though 'twere Angels Meat. 4 But they in murm'ring Language said, "Manna is all our Feast; "We loath this light, this airy Bread; "We must have Flesh to taste." 5 Ye shall have Flesh to please your Lust, The Lord in Wrath reply'd, And sent 'em Quails, like Sand or Dust, Heap'd up from Side to Side. 6 He gave 'em all their own Desire, And greedy as they fed, His Vengeance burnt with secret Fire, And smote the Rebels dead. 7 When some were slain, the rest return'd And sought the Lord with Tears; Under the Rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their Fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious Hand, The Nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd Land.

Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78d (1766) Topics: Religious Education Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove By Turns thine Anger and thy Love? There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways, Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill.
