Psalm 69 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.148 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom First Line: Now let our lips with holy fear Lyrics: Now let our lips with holy fear And mournful pleasure sing The suff'rings of our great High Priest, The sorrows of our King. He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave. "I shall arise to praise thy name, Shall reign in worlds unknown; And thy salvation, O my God, Shall seat me on thy throne." Scripture: Psalm 69:14-21 Languages: English

Psalm 69 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.150 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and powers of death, And all the sons of malice, join To execute their cursed design. Yet, gracious God, thy power and love Has made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son Atoned for sins which we had done. The pangs of our expiring Lord The honors of thy law restored; His sorrows made thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English

Psalm 69 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.151 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom First Line: 'Twas for thy sake, eternal God Lyrics: 'Twas for thy sake, eternal God, Thy Son sustained that heavy load Of base reproach and sore disgrace, And shame defiled his sacred face. The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abused the Man that checked their sin; While he fulfilled thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. ["My Father's house," said he, "was made A place for worship, not for trade:" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourged the merchants from the place.] [Zeal for the temple of his God Consumed his life, exposed his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as his own.] [His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. [Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that raised him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head. Scripture: Psalm 69:7-24 Languages: English

The Sufferings and Death of Christ

(Thus David once in Anguish spoke, And thus our dying Lord.) 2 Though 'tis thy chief Delight to dwell Among thy praising Saints, Yet thou canst hear a Groan as well, And pity our Complaints. 3 Our fathers trusted in thy Name, And great Deliv'rance found; But I'm a Worm despis'd of Men, And trodden to the Ground. 4 Shaking the Head they pass me by, And laugh my Soul to Scorn; "In vain he trusts in God, they cry, "Neglected and forlorn." 5 But thou art He who form'd my Flesh By thine Almighty Word, And since I hung upon the Breast, My Hope is in the Lord. 6 Why will my Father hide his Face When Foes stand threat'ning round In the dark Hour of deep Distress, And not an Helper found? Pause. 7 Behold thy Darling left among The Cruel and the Proud, As Bulls of Bashan fierce and strong, As Lions roaring loud. 8 From Earth and Hell my Sorrows meet To multiply the Smart; They nail my Hands, they pierce my Feet, And try to vex my Heart. 9 Yet if thy Sov'reign Hand let loose The Rage of Earth and Hell, Why will my heav'nly Father bruise The Son he loves so well? 10 My GOD, if possible it be, With-hold this bitter Cup: But I resign my Will to Thee, And drink the Sorrows up. 11 My Heart dissolves with Pangs unknown, In Groans I waste my Breath; Thy heavy Hand has brought me down Low as the Dust of Death. 12 Father, I give my Spirit up, And trust it in thy Hand; My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope, And rise at thy Command.

Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look On the dear volume of thy book; There my Redeemer's face I see, And read his name who died for me.

'Tis from the treasures of his word

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #267 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: ['Tis from the treasures of his word I borrow titles for my Lord; Nor art nor nature can supply Sufficient forms of majesty. Bright image of the Father's face, Shining with undiminished rays; Th' eternal God's eternal Son, The heir and partner of his throne.] The King of kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own name upon his thigh He wears a garment dipped in blood, And breaks the nations with his rod. Where grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injured love; Awakes his wrath without delay, And Judah's Lion tears the prey. But when for works of peace he comes, What winning titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor bears those characters in vain. With tender pity in his heart, He acts the Mediator's part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the names he wears. At length the Judge his throne ascends, Divides the rebels from his friends, And saints in full fruition prove His rich variety of love. Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English

With cheerful voice I sing

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #268 (1835) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: With cheerful voice I sing The titles of my Lord, And borrow all the names Of honor from his word: Nature and art can ne'er supply Sufficient forms of majesty. In Jesus we behold His Father's glorious face, Shining for ever bright, With mild and lovely rays Th' eternal God's eternal Son Inherits and partakes the throne.] The sovereign King of kings, The Lord of lords most high, Writes his own name upon His garment and his thigh: His name is called The Word of God; He rules the earth with iron rod. Where promises and grace Can neither melt nor move, The angry Lamb resents The injuries of his love; Awakes his wrath without delay, As lions roar, and tear the prey. But when for works of peace The great Redeemer comes, What gentle characters, What titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor will he bear those names in vain. Immense compassion reigns In our Immanuel's heart, When he descends to act A Mediator's part: He is a Friend and Brother too; Divinely kind, divinely true. At length the Lord the Judge His awful throne ascends, And drives the rebels far From favorites and friends: Then shall the saints completely prove The heights and depths of all his love.

Thy sceptre and thy sword I sing; Thine is the vict'ry, and I sit A joyful subject at thy feet.] [Aspire, my soul, to glorious deeds, The Captain of salvation leads; March on, nor fear to win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] [Should death, and hell, and powers unknown, Put all their forms of mischief on, I shall be safe; for Christ displays Salvation in more sovereign ways.] Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English
