How blest is he who ne'er consents to walk

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents to walk By ill Advice nor dares to stand and talk In Sinners' Way, their Vice and Cause maintaining Nor sits with Scorners, Things divine profaning: But in GOD's sacred Law takes great Delight, Still reads by Day and meditates by Night. 2 Like some fair Tree, fix'd by the River's Side, Which bends with Fruit, and spreads its Foliage wide; So shall he flourish, Heav'n his Cause defending, And sweet Success his good Designs attending: In vain the Tempest strives to shake his Leaf, The Son of Joy breaks thro' the clouds of Grief. 3 Not to the Wicked; they no Root shall find, But fly like Chaff before the rapid Wind. The Lord hath not their evil Ways approved, Their Race shall therefore from the Earth be moved. They shall not stand in GOD's most holy Sight, Who only loves the Man that seeketh Right. 4 When GOD with Glory shall in Judgment come, A conscious Guilt shall strike the Sinner dumb; Nor to the Wicked will he grant a Station, Among the pure and righteous Congregation: The Ways of Justice, thus, to Bliss shall tend, Whilst Sinners' Paths must in their Ruin end. Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: [How blest is he, who ne'er consents to walk]

Through all the Scenes of Life

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Through all the Scenes of Life, As well in Trouble as in Joy, The Praises of my GOD shall still. My Heart and Tongue employ. His Goodness I'll declare, 'Till ass that are with Woes oppress'd, From my Example Comfort take, And charm their Griefs to rest. 2 O magnify the LORD! And bless with me, his holy Name; His faithful Word is ever sure, His Truth is still the same: For when to him I cry'd, With heavy Woes encompass'd round, He heard my Voice, and in his Love, I soon a Refuge found. 3 Their dropping Hearts were eas'd; We look'd to him alone for Aid, Desir'd Success in ev'ry Face, A chearful Air display'd. "Behold, said they, and see "The Man whom Providence reliev'd, "So dang'rously beset with Woes, "So wond'rously retriev'd!" Part II 4 The Hosts of GOD encamp Around the Dwellings of the Just; Deliv'rance he affords to all Who in his Succour trust. O taste his wond'rous Love! And soon Experience will decide, How bless'd they are, and only they, Who in his Truth confide. 5 Oh fear him all ye Saints! And you'll have nothing else to fear; Make you his Service your Delight, He'll make your Wants his Care. While Lions lack their Prey, The bounteous LORD will Food provide, For those as put their Trust in him, And see their Wants supply'd. 6 Ye proudly dispos'd, Approach, and my Instruction hear, I'll teach you the true Discipline Of his religious Fear: Let him who Life desires, And many prosp'rous Days would see; From sland'rous Language keep his Tongue, His Lips from Falshood free. 7 The crooked Paths of Vice Decline, and Virtue's Ways pursue; Establish Peace where 'tis begun, And where 'tis lost, renew. The LORD from Heav'n beholds, The Just with favourable Eyes; And, when distress'd, his gracious Ear, Is open to their Cries. Part IIi 8 GOD turns his wrathful Look On those whom Mercy don't reclaim; To cut them off, and from the Earth Blot out their very Name. When in Distress they cry, In Mercy he will hear his Saints, And with a providential Care, Attend to their Complaints. 9 The LORD is always nigh, With Balm, to heal the broken Heart; And to the contrite Spirit still, His Comfort to impart. The Wicked often strive, But vain is always their Desire; When they against the Just and True, Maliciously conspire. 10 For under all the Weight, Of sore Afflictions they endure, The LORD will still preserve his Saints, And keep their Bones secure. The Wicked from their Arts, Their speedy Ruin shall derive; While righteous Men, whom they detest, Shall them and theirs survive. 11 For GOD the Souls shall keep, Of those who on His Truth depend; To them and their Posterity, His Blessings shall descend. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: [Through all the scenes of life]

Thy wonted Mercy, LORD, to me extend!

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Thy wonted Mercy, LORD, to me extend! On thy Protection solely I depend; O let thy shelt'ring Wings thy Servant cover! To thee I fly, do thou my Soul defend, 'Till this outrageous Storm hath passed over. 2 To thy Tribunal, sov'reign Judge! I run, Who in my Cause hath wond'rous Things begun; Then let thy Arm from Heav'n, be my protection, Let all my foes thro' Sahme my Presence shun, And be thy sacred Truth my sure Direction. 3 For daily I with savage Men converse, Who are like hungry Lions wild and fierce, Whose Teeth are like sharp Spears on high erected, Whose Words my Soul, like Darts envenom'd pierce, Or two-edg'd Swords, against my Life directed. Part II 4 Be thou, O GOD of Hosts! exalted high, And let thy Glory fill both Earth and Sky! For they a Net had for my soul prepared; But now I know thy Help is ever nigh, Since in that Net thy find themselves ensnared. 5 My Heart is fix'd, O GOD, 'tis fully bent, To thee my thankful Tribute to present; My Voice, in lofty Anthems shall be raised. Awake my Harp and Lute, with joint Consent, And with the early Dawn let GOD be praised. 6 Thy worthy Praises, LORD, I will resound, To all the list'ning Tribes and Nations round; Thy Mercy still the highest Heav'n transcending. With tend'rest Love, my GOD, thou dost abound, Thy Truth beyond th'aspiring Clouds ascending. 7 Be thou, O GOD of Hosts! exalted high. And as thy Glory fills the radient Sky' So let it be thro' Earth's Extent displayed, 'Till all Mankind confess thee ever nigh, 'Till as in Heav'n, on Earth thou art obey'd.

They first their own burnt-offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. [Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt.] [Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never-changing office stands Eternal as thy days.] [Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: But Christ, by his own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice.] Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion's heav'nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears his priesthood still. He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's face: Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's grace. Scripture: Hebrews 7

Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. [The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own.] [Is he compared to wine or bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed That flesh, that dying blood of thine, Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine.] [Is he a tree? The world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, that fruitful bough, Is David's root and offspring too.] [Is he a rose? Not Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields: Or if the lily he assume, The valleys bless the rich perfume.] [Is he a vine? His heav'nly root Supplies the boughs with life and fruit O let a lasting union join My soul the branch to Christ the vine!] [Is he the head? Each member lives, And owns the vital powers he gives; The saints below and saints above Joined by his Spirit and his love.] [Is he a fountain? There I bathe, And heal the plague of sin and death These waters all my soul renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too.] [Is he a fire? He'll purge my dross; But the true gold sustains no loss: Like a refiner shall he sit, And tread the refuse with his feet.] [Is he a rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of ages never moves; Yet the sweet streams that from him flow Attend us all the desert through.] [Is he a way? He leads to God, The path is drawn in lines of blood; There would I walk with hope and zeal, Till I arrive at Zion's hill.] [Is he a door? I'll enter in Behold the pastures large and green, A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom there.] [Is he designed the corner-stone, For men to build their heav'n upon? I'll make him my foundation too, Nor fear the plots of hell below.] [Is he a temple? I adore Th' indwelling majesty and power And still to this most holy place, Whene'er I pray, I turn my face.] [Is he a star? He breaks the night Piercing the shades with dawning light; I know his glories from afar, I know the bright, the morning star.] [Is he a sun? His beams are grace, His course is joy and righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their clouds and dry their tears. O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! There he displays his power abroad, And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.] Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face. Scripture: Psalm 68:20-22

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 From my Youth up, may Israel say, They oftentimes have me assail'd; Reduc'd me oft to heavy Straits, But never yet have quite previl'd: They plow'd my Back with Furrows long; But GOD has recu'd us from Wrong. 2 Defeat, Confusion, shameful Rout Ne still the dreadful Doom of those, Their righteous Doom, who Sion hate, And Sion's holy GOD oppose: Like corn that's wither'd, let them fade, Which too much Heat, and want of Root, Untimely blasted in the Blade. 3 Which in his Arms no Reaper takes, But in the Field neglected leaves; Nor Binder thinks it worth his Pains To fold and gather into Sheaves: Nor Traveller vouchsafes to stop, And crave a Blessing on the Crop.
