The Divine Goodness

Hymnal: The Psalter #329 (1912) Topics: Afflictions Benefits of; Afflictions Comfort under; Afflictions From the Wicked; Afflictions Purpose of First Line: Thou, Lord, hast dealt well with Thy servant Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, hast dealt well with Thy servant, Thy promise is faithful and just; Instruct me in judgment and knowledge, For in Thy commandments I trust. 2 Before my affliction I wandered, But now Thy good word I obey; O Thou, Who art holy and gracious, Now teach me Thy statutes, I pray. 3 The proud have assailed me with slander; Thy precepts shall still be my guide; Thy law is my joy and my treasure, Though sinners may boast in their pride. 4 Affliction has been for my profit, That I to Thy statues might hold; Thy law to my soul is more precious Than thousands of silver and gold.

Psalm 143

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.322 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hope in afflictions; Afflictions very great; Afflicted their prayer; Afflictions in mind and body; Complaint of heavy afflictions in mind and body First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics: My righteous Judge, my gracious God, Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succor from thy throne; O make thy truth and mercy known! Let judgment not against me pass; Behold, thy servant pleads thy grace: Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there. Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burden me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long buried and forgot. I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within My thoughts in musing silence trace The ancient wonders of thy grace. Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove? And God for ever hide his love? My God, thy long delay to save Will sink thy pris'ner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; O might I hear thy morning voice, How would my wearied powers rejoice! In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my heavy soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. Break off my fetters, Lord, and show Which is the path my feet should go; If snares and foes beset the road, I flee to hide me near my God. Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heav'nly hill; Let the good Spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh, that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English

Psalm 125

Not walls nor hills could guard so well Old Salem's happy ground, As those eternal arms of love That every saint surround. While tyrants are a smarting scourge To drive them near to God, Divine compassion does allay The fury of the rod. Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere, And lead them safely on To the bright gates of Paradise, Where Christ their Lord is gone. But if we trace those crooked ways That the old serpent drew, The wrath that drove him first to hell Shall smite his followers too. Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English

As mountains stood to guard The city's sacred ground, So God and his almighty love Embrace his saints around. What though the Father's rod Drop a chastising stroke, Yet, lest it wound their souls too deep, Its fury shall be broke. Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear, Whose hope, and love, and every grace, Proclaim their hearts sincere. Nor shall the tyrant's rage Too long oppress the saint; The God of Isr'el will support His children lest they faint. But if our slavish fear Will choose the road to hell, We must expect our portion there, Where bolder sinners dwell. Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English

Shall dust repeat Thy praises, Shall it Thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That Thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To Thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart Thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to Thee I bring.
