Prayer and Faith of persecuted Saints; or, Imprecatins mixed with Charity

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #63 (1740) First Line: Now plead my Cause, Almighty God Lyrics: 1 Now plead my Cause, Almighty God, With all the Sons of Strife; And fight against the Men of Blood, Who fight against my Life. 2 Draw out thy Spear and stop their Way, Lift thine avenging Rod; But to my Soul in Mercy say, "I am thy Saviour God!" 3 They plant their Snares to catch my Feet, And Nets of Mischief spread; Plunge the Destroyers in the Pit That their own Hands have made. 4 Let Fogs and Darkness hide their Way, And slippery be their Ground; Thy Wrath shall make their Lives a Prey, And all their rage confound. 5 They fly like Chaff before the Wind, Before thine angry Breath; The Angel of the Lord behind Pursues them down to death. 6 They love the Road that leads to Hell; Then let the Rebels die, Whose Malice is implacable Against the Lord on high. 7 But if thou hast a chosen Few Amongst that impious Race, Divide them from the bloody Crew, By thy surprizing Grace. 8 Then will I raise my tuneful Voice, To make thy Wonders known; In their Salvation I'll rejoice, And bless thee for my own.

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #64 (1740) First Line: Behold the Love, the generous Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the generous Love, That holy David shows; Hark, how his sounding Bowels move To his afflicted Foes! 2 When they are sick, his Soul complains, And seems to feel the Smart; The Spirit of the Gospel reigns, And melts his pious Heart. 3 How did his flowing Tears condole As for a Brother dead! And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his Head The righteous GOD returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace!

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #65b (1740) First Line: While Men grow bold in wicked Ways Lyrics: 1 While Men grow bold in wicked Ways, And yet a GOD they own, My Heart within me often says, "Their Thoughts believe there's none." 2 Their Thoughts and Ways at once declare, (Whate'er their Lips profess) GOD hath no Wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his Grace. 3 What strange Self-flatt'ry blinds their Eyes! But there's a hast'ning Hour, When they shall see with sore Surprize The Terrors of thy Pow'r. 4 Thy Justice shall maintain its Throne, Tho' Mountains melt away; Thy Judgments are a World unknown, A deep, unfathom'd Sea. 5 Above the Heav'n's created Rounds, Thy Mercies, Lord, extend; Thy Truth out-lives the narrow Bounds Where Time and Nature end. 6 Safety to Man thy Goodness brings, Nor overlooks the Beast; Beneath the Shadow of thy Wings Thy Children chuse to rest. 7 [From Thee, when Creature-Streams run low.

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #66 (1740) First Line: When Man grows bold in Sin Lyrics: 1 When Man grows bold in Sin, My Heart within me cries, "He hath no Faith of God within, Nor Fear before his Eyes." 2 [He walks a-while conceal'd In a Self-flatt'ring Dream, Till his dark Crimes at once reveal'd Expose his hateful Name.] 3 His Heart is false and foul, His Words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his Soul, And leaves no Goodness there. 4 He plots upon his Bed New Mischiefs to fulfil He sets his Heart, and Hand, and Head, To practise all that's ill. 5 But there's a dreadful GOD, Tho' Men renounce his Fear; His Justice, hid behind the Cloud, Shall one great Day appear. 6 His Truth transcends the Sky, In Heav'n his Mercies dwell; Deep as the Sea his Judgments lie, His Anger burns to Hell. 7 How excellent his Love, Whence all our Safety springs!

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #67 (1740) First Line: Why should I vex my Soul, and fret Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my Soul, and fret To see the Wicked rise? Or envy Sinners waxing great By Violence and Lies. 2 As flowery Grass cut down at Noon, Before the Evening fades, So shall their Glories vanish soon In everlasting Shades. 3 Then let me make the Lord my Trust, And practise all that's good; So shall I dwell among the Just, And he'll provide me Food. 4 I to my GOD my Ways commit, And chearful wait his Will; Thy Hand, which guides my doubtful Feet, Shall my Desires fulfil. 5 Mine Innocence shalt thou display, And make thy Judgments known, Fair as the Light of dawning Day, And glorious as the Noon. 6 The Meek at last the Earth possess, And are the Heirs of Heav'n; True Riches, with abundant Peace, To humble Souls are giv'n. Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his Way, Nor let your Anger rise, Tho' Providence should long delay To punish haughty Vice. 8 Let Sinners join to break your Peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their Day of Vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threat'ning Sword, Have bent the murd'rous Bow, To slay the Men that fear the Lord, And bring the Righteous low. 10 My GOD shall break their Bows, and burn Their persecuting Darts, Shall their own Swords against them turn, And Pain surprize their Hearts.

Pause. 5 The haughty Sinner have I seen, Nor fearing Man nor God, Like a tall Bay-Tree fair and green, Spreading his Arms abroad. 6 And, lo! he vanish'd from the Ground, Destroy'd by Hands unseen; Nor Root, nor Branch, nor Leaf was found Where all that Pride had been. 7 But mark the Man of Righteousness, His sev'ral Steps attend; True Pleasure runs thro' all his Ways, And peaceful is his End.
