And why with vexing tho'ts art thou Disquieted in me, Disquieted in me? 6 Hope thou in God; His praise shall yet My thankful lips employ; He is the spring of all my health, My God, my boundless joy, My God, my boundless joy.

Psalm 12

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Complaint pride, atheism, oppression, etc; Pride and atheism, and oppression punished; Corruption of manners general; Times evil; Atheism practical; Christ his coming, the signs of it; Enemies destroyed; Evil times; Falsehood and oppression, deliverance from them; Flattery and deceit complained of; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Saints safety in evil times; Signs of Christ's coming; Sins of tongue First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear, Virtue and truth will fly away; A faithful man amongst us here Will scarce be found, if thou delay. The whole discourse, when neighbors meet, Is filled with trifles loose and vain; Their lips are flattery and deceit, And their proud language is profane. But lips that with deceit abound Shall not maintain their triumph long; The God of vengeance will confound The flattering and blaspheming tongue. "Yet shall our words be free," they cry; "Our tongues shall be controlled by none: Where is the Lord will ask us why? Or say our lips are not our own?" The Lord, who sees the poor oppressed, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. Thy word, O Lord, though often tried, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, sev'n times purified From dross and mixture, shines so clear. Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the holy soul from harm; Though when the vilest men have power, On every side will sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12

Psalm 12

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Complaint pride, atheism, oppression, etc; Pride and atheism, and oppression punished; Corruption of manners general; Times evil; Atheism practical; Christ his coming, the signs of it; Enemies destroyed; Evil times; Falsehood and oppression, deliverance from them; Flattery and deceit complained of; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Saints safety in evil times; Signs of Christ's coming; Sins of tongue First Line: Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail Lyrics: Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail, Religion loses ground, The sons of violence prevail, And treacheries abound. Their oaths and promises they break, Yet act the flatterer's part; With fair, deceitful lips they speak, And with a double heart. If we reprove some hateful lie, How is their fury stirred "Are not our lips our own?" they cry; "And who shall be our Lord?" Scoffers appear on every side, Where a vile race of men Is raised to seats of power and pride, And bears the sword in vain. Lord, when iniquities abound, And blasphemy grows bold; When faith is hardly to be found, And love is waxing cold; Is not thy chariot hast'ning on? Hast thou not giv'n this sign? May we not trust and live upon A promise so divine? "Yes," saith the Lord, "now will I rise, And make oppressors flee; I shall appear to their surprise, And set my servants free." Thy word, like silver sev'n times tried, Through ages shall endure; The men that in thy truth confide Shall find the promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12

The Lord from out His holy hill Gives answer when I cry. 3 I laid me down and slept, I waked, Because the Lord sustains; Tho' many thousands compass me, Unmoved my soul remains. 4 Arise, o Lord; save me, my God; For Thou hast owned my cause, And oft hast beaten down my foes Who scorn Thy righteous laws. 5 Salvation to the Lord belongs, In Him His saints are blest; O let Thy blessing evermore Upon Thy people rest.

Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear, Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: SAMUEL

Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Used With Tune: SOUTHPORT
