Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CI (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Comfort of the pious Poor Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky, Who from his lofty throne Looks down on all that humble lie, And calls such souls his own. 2 The haughty sinner he disdains, Tho' gems his temples crown; And from the seat of pomp and pride, His vengeance hurls him down. 3 On his afflicted pious poor He makes his face to shine; He fills their cottages of clay With lustre all divine. 4 Among the meanest of thy flock There let my dwelling be, Rather than under gilded roofs, If absent, Lord, from thee.

The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCVIII (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Weeping Seed-time, joyful Harvest Lyrics: 1 The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers! Troubled with storms, and big with showers; No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of grace revive, God bids the soul that seeks him live; And from the gloomiest shade of night Calls forth a morning of delight. 3 The seeds of extasy unknown Are in these water'd furrows sown; See the green blades how thick they rise, And with fresh verdure bless our eyes. 4 In secret foldings they contain Unnumber'd ears of golden grain; And heav'n shall pour its beams around, Till the ripe harvest load the ground. 5 Then shall the trembling mourner come, And bind his sheaves, and bring them home; The voice long broke with sighs, shall sing, Till heav'n with Hallelujahs ring.

Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCIX (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope, And let his word support your souls, Well can He bear your courage up, And all your foes and fears controul. 2 He waits his own well-chosen hour Th' intended mercy to display; And his paternal bowels move While wisdom dictates the delay. 3 With mingled majesty and love, At length he rises from his throne; And while salvation he commands, He makes his people's joy his own. 4 Blest are the humble souls that wait With sweet submission to His will; Harmonious all their passions move, And in the midst of storms are still. 5 Still, till their Father’s well-known voice Wakens their silence into songs; Then earth grows vocal with His praise, And heav'n the grateful shout prolongs.
