Psalm 125

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 125 First Line: Unshaken as the sacred hill Lyrics: Unshaken as the sacred hill, And firm as mountains be, Firm as a rock the soul shall rest That leans, O Lord, on thee. Not walls nor hills could guard so well Old Salem's happy ground, As those eternal arms of love That every saint surround. While tyrants are a smarting scourge To drive them near to God, Divine compassion does allay The fury of the rod. Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere, And lead them safely on To the bright gates of Paradise, Where Christ their Lord is gone. But if we trace those crooked ways That the old serpent drew, The wrath that drove him first to hell Shall smite his followers too.

Zion Stands by Hills Surrounded

Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! 2 Ev'ry human tie may perish; friend to friend unfaithful prove; mothers cease their own to cherish; heav'n and earth at last remove; but no changes can attend Jehovah's love, but no changes can attend Jehovah's love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, thence to bring thee forth more bright, but can never cease to love thee; thou art precious in his sight. God is with thee - God, thine everlasting light, God is with thee - God, thine everlasting light.

Psalm 125

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 125 First Line: Firm and unmoved are they Lyrics: Firm and unmoved are they That rest their souls on God; Firm as the mount where David dwelt, Or where the ark abode. As mountains stood to guard The city's sacred ground, So God and his almighty love Embrace his saints around. What though the Father's rod Drop a chastising stroke, Yet, lest it wound their souls too deep, Its fury shall be broke. Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear, Whose hope, and love, and every grace, Proclaim their hearts sincere. Nor shall the tyrant's rage Too long oppress the saint; The God of Isr'el will support His children lest they faint. But if our slavish fear Will choose the road to hell, We must expect our portion there, Where bolder sinners dwell.
