Praise and Trust
Hymnal: PS1912 #134 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Within Thy temple, Lord Lyrics: 1 Within Thy temple, Lord,
In that most holy place,
We on thy loving-kindness dwell,
The wonders of Thy grace.
Men sing Thy praise, O God,
Where'er Thy Name is known;
By ev'ry deed Thy hand hath wrought
Thy righteousness is shown.
2 Let Zion now rejoice,
And all her children sing;
Let them with thankfulness proclaim
The judgment of their King.
Mount Zion's walls behold,
About her ramparts go,
And number ye the lofty tow'rs
That guard her from the foe.
3 Observe her palaces,
Mark her defenses well,
That to the sons that follow you
Her glories you may tell;
For God as our own God
Forever will abide,
And till life's journey close in death
Will be our faithful guide.

The Vanily of Trust in Riches
Hymnal: PS1912 #135a (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Hear this, all ye people, hear Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all ye people, hear,
Earth's inhabitants give ear;
All of high and low degree,
Rich and poor, give heed to me.
2 Truth with all my heart I seek,
And my mouth shall wisdom speak;
Hearken while in lyric strain
I make hidden wisdom plain.
3 Why should I to fear give way
When I see the evil day,
When with wickedness my foes
Shall surround me and oppose?
4 They that trust in treasured gold,
Tho' they boast of wealth untold,
None can bid his brother live,
None to God a ransom give.
5 If from death one would be free
And corruption never see,
Costly is life's ransom price,
Far beyond all sacrifice. Topics: Christians Evangelists; Gospel Freeness of ; Immortality; Man Dignity of; Prosperity Without God's Blessing; Resurrection; Riches; Royalty of Christ Judgment the Prerogative of; Salvation God's Gift Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: FISK

The Issues of Life
Hymnal: PS1912 #136 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Dust to dust, the mortal dies Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies,
Both the foolish and the wise;
None forever can remain,
Each must leave his hoarded gain.
Yet within their heart they say
That their houses are for aye,
That their dwelling places grand
Shall for generations stand.
2 To their lands they give their name
In the hope of lasting fame,
But man's honor quickly flies,
Like the lowly beast he dies.
Tho' such folly mark their way,
Men approve of what they say;
Death their shepherd, they the sheep
He within his fold will keep.
3 O'er them soon shall rule the just,
All their beauty turn to dust;
God my waiting soul shall save,
He will raise me from the grave.
Let no fear disturb your peace
Tho' one's house and wealth increase;
Death shall end his fleeting day,
He shall carry naught away.
4 Though in life he wealth attained,
Tho' the praise of men he gained,
He shall join those gone before,
Where the light shall shine no more.
Crowned with honor tho' he be,
Highly gifted, strong and free,
If he be not truly wise,
Man is like the beast that dies.

Hymnal: PS1912 #137 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The mighty God, Jehovah, speaks Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, Jehovah speaks
And calls the earth from sea to sea;
From beauteous Zion God shines forth,
He comes and will not silent be;
Devouring flame before Him goes,
And dark the tempest round Him grows.
2 He calls aloud to heav'n and earth
That He may justly judge His own;
My chosen saints together bring
Who sacrifice to Me alone;
The heav'ns His righteousness declare,
For God Himself as Judge is there.
3 Hear, O my people, I will speak,
Against thee I will testify;
Give ear to me, O Israel,
For God, thy covenant God, am I;
I do not spurn thy sacrifice,
Thy off'rings are before My eyes.
4 I will receive from out thy fold
No off'ring for My holy shrine;
The cattle on a thousand hills
And all the forest beasts are Mine;
Each mountain bird to Me is known,
whatever roams the field I own.
5 Behold, if I should hungry grow,
I would not tell My need to thee,
Fro all the world itself is Mine,
And all its wealth belongs to Me;
Why should I aught of thee receive,
My thirst or hunger to relieve?
6 Bring thou to God the gift of thanks,
And pay thy vows to God most High;
Call ye upon My holy Name
In days when sore distress is nigh;
Deliverance I will send to thee,
And praises thou shalt give to Me.

Sins of Hypocricy
Hymnal: PS1912 #138 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men Lyrics: 1 Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men:
My statues why do ye declare?
Why take My covenant in mouth,
Since ye for wisdom do not care?
For ye My holy words profane
And cast them from you in disdain.
2 Ye have consented with the thief,
Ye have partaken with the vile,
Your mouths to evil words ye give,
Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile,
Ye glory in your brother's shame,
Your mother's son do ye defame.
3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept,
And this has been your secret thought,
That i was wholly as yourselves,
To take your evil deeds as nought;
I will reprove you and array
Your deeds before your eyes this day.
4 Consider this, who God forget,
Lest I destroy with none to free;
Who offers sacrifice of thanks,
He glorifies and honors Me;
To him who orders well his way
Salvation free I will display.

Has spoken unto all;
From rising to the setting sun
The nations hear His call.
2 From Zion, His abode
Where perfect beauty dwells,
The Lord His glory has displayed
In brightness that excels.
3 Our God shall surely come,
Nor silence shall He keep;
Devouring fire shall herald Him,
About Him storms shall sweep.
4 Then to the heav'ns above
He from His throne shall call,
The earth His kingly voice shall hear
He is the Judge of all.
5 Let all my chosen saints
Before Me gathered be,
Those that by sacrifice have sealed
Their promise unto Me.
6 Then shall the heavens declare
His righteousness abroad,
Because the Lord Himself is Judge,
Yea, none is Judge, but God.

On Thy altar shall be laid.

Thyself in hateful cruelty,
When God Almighty is most kind,
And ever merciful is He?
2 Thy tongue deviseth wickedness,
A weapon treacherous and keen;
Thou lovest evil more than good,
And falsehood in thy sight is clean.
3 Since, O thou false, deceitful tongue,
In deadly words Thou findest joy,
The Lord shall pluck thee from thy place
And all thy wickedness destroy.
4 The good, confirmed in godly fear,
The pride and folly shall confess
Of those who make not God their strength,
But trust in wealth and wickedness.
5 I put my trust in God alone,
For evermore I trust His grace,
And like the trees within His courts
I flourish in a favored place.
6 With endless thanks, O Lord, to Thee,
Thy wondrous works will I proclaim,
And in the presence of Thy saints
Will ever hope in Thy good Name.

The Folly of Unbelief
Hymnal: PS1912 #146 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Fools in their hearts have said Lyrics: 1 Fools in their heart have said,
There is no God of might;
Corrupt are they and base their deeds,
In evil they delight.
2 God looked from heav'n above
On all the human race,
To see if any understood,
If any sought His face.
3 They all are gone aside,
Corruption doth abound;
There is not one that doeth good,
Not even one is found.
4 These men of evil deeds,
Will they no knowledge gain,
Who feed upon my people's woes,
And prayer to God disdain?
5 The day is drawing nigh
When they shall fear and quail,
For God shall scatter and destroy
Those who His saints assail.
6 Yea, God will put to shame
And make them flee away,
For He will cast them off in wrath
And fill them with dismay.
7 O would that Israel's help
Were out of Zion come!
O would that God might early bring
His captive people home!
8 When God from distant lands
His exiled ones shall bring,
His people shall exultant be,
And gladly they shall sing.

Earnest Appeal Against Enemies
Hymnal: PS1912 #148 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jehovah, to my prayer give ear Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear,
Nor hide Thee from my cry;
Attend my sad complaint, and hear
My restless moan and sigh.
2 My enemies lift up their voice,
The violent oppress;
To do me wrong my foes rejoice,
And love my soul's distress.
3 Sore pained in heart I find no ease,
Death's terrors fill my soul,
Great fear and trembling on me seize,
And horrors o'er me roll.
4 O had I wings, sigh and say,
Like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away
And find a peaceful home.
5 Lo, wand'ring far my rest should be
In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
6 O Lord, their malice recompense,
Their wicked tongues confound,
For in the city violence
And bitter strife abound.
7 They walk her walls both night and day,
Within all vices meet;
Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway,
Nor leave the crowded street.
8 No foreign foe provokes alarm,
But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
And recompense their sin.

2 He has redeemed my soul in peace,
From conflict set me free;

To Him bring all thy care;
He will sustain and hold thee fast,
And give thee strength to bear.
6 God will not let His saints be moved;
Protected, they shall see
Their foes cut off and sin reproved;
O God, I trust in Thee.

The righteous who trust in His word
Unmoved shall forever remain.

Hymnal: PS1912 #151 (1912) First Line: O God, be merciful Lyrics: 1 O God be merciful,
Be merciful to me,
For man, with constant hate,
Would fain my ruin see.
My many enemies
Against me proudly fight;
To overwhelm my soul
They watch from morn to night.
2 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their tho'ts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait;
Shall they by wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness,
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are they not in thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When i appeal to Thee,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
5 In God, the Lord, I rest,
His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
6 Upon me are Thy voes,
O God, in Whom I live;
The sacrifice of praise
To thee I now will give;
For Thou hast saved from death,
From falling kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee.
