A city of exceeding strength

Hymnal: PH1773 #I.XXVI (1773) Lyrics: 1 A City of exceeding strength Doth happily to us belong; And the decreed salvation shall Like walls and bulwarks keep it strong. 2 Set open then the city-gates, That so the righteous nation, who Immoveably maintains the truth, May gladly enter thereinto. 3 In perfect peace Thou such a one wilt ever surely cause to be, Whose mind on Thee securely stays; Because he hopes alone on Thee. 4 Repose then ever in the LORD The lively hope of all your mind! Because in JAH, JEHOVAH, sure, A rock eternal ye shall find. 5 He'll bring down those who dwell on high, He'll lay the haughty city low, He'll lay it level with the ground, And down into the dust will throw. 6 The feet of the afflicted shall In triumph tread it wholly down; And it shall lie beneath the feet Of him that was a helpless one. [2 Part] 7 The way of ev'ry righteous man Is universal righteousness; And thou, O RIGHTEOUS ONE, dost weigh In righteousness each path of his. 8 Moreover in thy judgments way, LORD, Thee we longing look to see; Our souls desire is to thy name, And to the memory of Thee. 9 In the dark seasons of the night, My soul Thee earnestly desires: My wakeful spirit in my breast For Thee at early dawn inquires, For when thy judgments are display'd On earth, the world's inhabitants Shou'd lay to heart thy righteous works, And learn the righteousness of saints. 10 Tho' for a wicked man there should Bowels of heav'nly pity yearn, Yet he the way of righteousness Will not perswaded be to learn: He'll work perverse iniquity; Nor will he ev'n so much as see JEHOVAH's glorious majesty. 11 LORD, when thine hand is lifted up, In thy most awful judgments, high; yet lest they see thine hand therein, Perversely they will shut their eye. But with confusion they shall see The zeal Thou for thy people hast, And the consuming fire that shall Thine adversaries wholly waste. [3 Part] 12 JEHOVAH, certainly Thou wilt Safety and peace for us ordain: For our affairs Thou mange dost, And for us, all our works maintain. 13 O LORD our God, tho' other Lords Have reigned over us, we own; Yet hence, thy name we mention will, And by Thee none but thine alone. 14 They'r dead, and shall not live again; Deceas'd, and never shall arise; Thy judgments have destroy'd them quite, Yea caus'd that all their mem'ry dies. 15 The nation, LORD, increasest Thou, Our nation greatly hast increas'd; And Thou hast glorify'd thy self, And thro' the earth dispers'd them hast. 16 O LORD, when they were in distress, They Thee then visited with cries; And pray'r in secret poured out, When Thou didst sorely them chastize. 17 Like as a pregnant woman when Approaching travail comes apace, Is pain'd, and in her pangs cries out; So were we, LORD, before thy face. 18 We trouble have conceiv'd, are pain'd, But bring forth vanity, and wind; Nor do the world's disturbers fall: Nor we on earth deliverance find. [4 Part] 19 Thy dead shall surely live again, With thy dead body rise they must: Awake out of the sleep of death, And sing ye who dwell in the dust! Because the dew that falls on thee, Is like the dew that makes herbs grow; But out abroad with violence, The earth the wicked ones shall throw. 20 Come then my people enter in To chambers that most secret are; And after thee shut thou the doors, And make them fast with utmost care. There do thou hide thy self a while; It shall but as a moment be, And all the indignation shall Be pass'd for ever over thee. 21 For lo, the LORD is coming forth, Out of his dwelling place on high, Upon the earth's inhabitants, To punish their iniquity. The earth shall then disclose and show The bloods within her buried; Her slain shall be brought forth to view, And be no longer covered. Scripture: Isaiah 26 Languages: English

All those who in JEHOVAH trust

Hymnal: PH1773 #PCXXV (1773) Lyrics: 1 All those who in JEHOVAH trust shall like mount Zion be; Which shall not be remov'd, but stands to perpetuity. 2 See how around Jerusalem, the mountains stand on high; The LORD his people so surrounds hence to eternity. 3 For, sinners rod upon the lot of just men shall not lie; Left righteous men stretch forth their hands to do iniquity. 4 To all who are sincerely good thy goodness LORD impart; And Jet it freely flow to all, who are of upright heart. 5 But those who turn to crooked ways, the LORD will make to go With workers of iniquity, but Isr'el peace shall know.

As by the streams of Babylon

Hymnal: PH1773 #PCXXXVII (1773) Lyrics: 1 As by the streams of Babylon We captives sat with anxious fears; Then we dear Zion thought upon, And melted into streams of tears. 2 Our harps, our instruments of joy, Which us'd with chearful songs to sound, We hung upon the willow trees Which on the shaded banks abound. 3 Because our foes, who all conspir'd To triumph in our slavish wrongs; Musick and mirth of us requir'd; 'Come sing us one of Zion's songs.' 4 But, ah! how cou'd we guide our hands To play, with hearts so full of woes? Sing Zion's songs in heathen lands, JEHOVAH's hymns to chear his foes? 5 O dear Jerusalem! if I Ever of thee forgetful grow; Let me the skill of my right hand For ever wholly cease to know. 6 Let my tongue to my palate cleave, If thee remember should not I, Or don't prefer Jerusalem, Above my highest earthly joy, 7 LORD, Thou remembrest Edom's son, Who on Jerulalem's sad day, 'To the foundation raze her!' cry'd; 'Raze, raze her!' out aloud cry'd they. 8 O Babel's daughter! doom'd to fall! That conqueror shall blessed be, Who, just as thou hast done to us, Will do in righteousness to thee! 9 Yea, he shall blessed be by heav'n, Who shall by heav'n employed be, Upon the stones to dash thy face, And end thy cruel progeny. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English

As the chas'd hart with vehemence

Hymnal: PH1773 #PXLII (1773) Lyrics: 1 As the chas'd hart with vehemence pants for the cooling brooks; So pants my soul for Thee, O GOD, for Thee so longing looks. 2 My soul for GOD, the living God, does thirst exceedingly: Oh, when before the face of GOD come and appear shall I! 3 My flowing tears have been to me, as food by night and day; While, taunting, constantly to me, "where is thy God?" they say. 4 My soul is poured out in me, as this I think upon; How to GOD's house with multitudes I in times past have gone; With them, I with the voice of joy, and praise in triumph sung; With multitudes, who as we went, with joy did leap along. O why art thou cast down my soul? And why in such distress? Hope thou in GOD: Him praise I shall: for health* is from his face. [2 Part] 6 My God, my soul is quite cast down; Thee therefore mind I will, From Jordan-land, and Hermon-mount, and from the Mizar-hill. 7 At sounding of thy water-spouts, deep loud to deep does call; thy dashing waves pass over me, thy rolling billows all. 8 His loving-kindness yet the LORD, command will in the day; And in the night his songs with me; to God my life I'll pray. 9 To God my rock, I'll say, "O why "dost Thou forget me so? "Why go I mourning grievously, "oppressed by my foe?" 10 As with a sword within my bones, so me my foes upbraid; While ev'ry day they say to me, "where is thy God, thy aid?" 11 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow thy self down heavily? And wherefore so disquieted, and troubled art in me? Hope thou in GOD, because I shall with praise Him yet advance; Who is my God; He also is health of my countenance.

Maschil of Asaph

Hymnal: PH1773 #PLXXVIII (1773) First Line: Attend my people to my law Lyrics: 1 Attend my people to my law, incline your list'ning ear; And the instruction of my mouth with strict attention hear. 2 My mouth shall parables explain, and sayings dark of old; 3 What we our selves have heard and known, and what our fathers told. 4 Them from their children we'll not hide, but to their race make known, JEHOVAH's praises, and his strength, and wonders he hath done. 5 This statute He in Jacobe set, this law in Isr'el made, And charg'd our fathers, they should be from race to race convey'd: 6 That generations yet to come, them happily may know; And children to be born, and rise, the same to their's may show. 7 That they on the same mighty GOD Their confidence might set, God's works and his commandments keep, and never might forget. 8 And might not like their fathers be, a stiff, rebellious race; A race whose heart not right with God, nor spirit stedfast was. [2 Part] 9 The sons of Ephraim, tho' well arm'd and carrying warlike bows, Yet in the day of battle turn'd their backs before their foes 10 GOD's covenant they neither kept, nor in his law would go: 11 His works and wonders they forgot, Which He to them did show. 12 Things marvellous which he perform'd their fathers had behold; Within the land of Egypt wrought, and done in Zoan's field. 13 He cut the sea, and made them pass, held back the pressing flood; While up in heaps on either side, the waters firmly stood. 14 He led them with a wondrous cloud, compos'd of shade and light; A shelt'ring shade it prov'd by day, a light of fire by night. 15 While in the thirsty wilderness, the solid rock He clave; And thence, as from the boundless deeps. abundant drink He gave. 16 Yea from the flinty rock He made such streams to gush and flow, That in full rivers down they ran, and water'd all below. [3 Part] 17 And yet for all, they more and more against Him did transgress; And more provoked the most High, while in the wilderness. 18 First in their hearts they tempted God, and did his pow'r distrust; Then meat requir'd, nor urg'd by want, but to indulge their lust. 19 Yea spake against the mighty GOD, and insolently said, 'Can God in such a wilderness, 'for us a table spread? 20 'He smote the flinty rock indeed, and gushing streams ensu'd; 'But can He bread and flesh provide, for such a multitude?' 21 The LORD with indignation heard, and kindled was a flame; On Jacob, on his Israel, the burning anger came. 22 Because their unbelieving hearts would not in GOD confide, Nor trust in his salvation, who had them so oft supply'd. [4 Part] 23 The clouds He order'd ev'ry night, their cravings to relieve; The doors of heav'n He op'ned wide, the choicest food to give. 24 On them He manna rained down, and round about them spread; The corn of heav'n He gave to them, ev'n for their daily bread. 25 So men the food of angels eat, were fed and satisfy'd; Yea of his bounty them with meat He to the full supply'd. 26 He caus'd an east wind thro' the air to blow at his command; And then He bro't the south wind forth by his almighty hand. 27 He rain'd upon them living flesh, Like summer's dust for store; And show'red down the feather'd fowls as sand upon the shore. 28 Ev'n in their camp and round their tents He let them gently fall. 29 They eat, were fill'd, and their desire He fully gave to all. [5 Part] 30 Yet were they not estranged from their lust and murm'ring sin; But while their dainty meat was yet their loathing mouths within; 31 The wrath of GOD again arose, in plagues upon them fell; Which slew the fat ones, and smote down the flow'r of Israel. 32 And yet for all, they sinned still; his gracious soul they grieve: And though his works most wond'rous were, yet they would not believe. 33 Therefore their sinful days He made, in vanity to spend; Short'ned their years, and made them waste in trouble to their end. 34 When He among them slaughters made, They sought him speedily; Yea they return'd, and after God enquired earnestly. 35 For then they to remembrance call'd, how GOD, their rock had been; And how they had the most high God their great redeemer seen. 36 But basely flatter'd with their mouths, their tongues ev'n to Him ly'd. 37 Their heart was false, nor did they in his covenant abide. 38 Yet full of mercy, He forgave, nor would them wholly slay, Nor all his anger raise; but oft he turned his wrath away. 39 For He remember'd they were flesh that could not long remain; A wind that passes quick away, and ne'r comes back again! [6 Part] 40 How oft did they provoke Him there? how oft his heart they griev'd, In that same wilderness where He their fainting souls reliev'd? 41 Yea they perversely turned back, and tempted the most High; And they to Isr'els holy One set bounds, his pow'r to try. 42 They did not call to mind his hand, and that most wondrous day, When from oppressors He them freed and brought them all away. 43 Nor all the signs in Egypt's land He wrought before their eyes; Nor wonders done in Zoan's field upon their enemies. 44 Their springs and rivers turn'd to blood, that they could drink no more; 45 Vast swarms of diverse flies and frogs He sent, them to devour. 46 To caterpillars gave their fruit, to locusts gave their toil: 47 With hail did He their vines destroy, great hail! their fig-trees spoil. 48 To storms of hail their cattle gave, which greatly them annoy'd, And then to fiery thunder-bolts, which terribly destroy'd. 49 He on them his hot anger, wrath, and indignation cast, By evil angels whom He sent, to vex and lay them waste. 50 He for his further wrath made way: their souls He did not save From death: and to the murrain plague their animals He gave. 51 Then in the land of Egypt He did all the first-born smite; And in the tents of cruel Ham the chief of all their might. 52 But like a flock of sheep He made His people forth to go; And in the desart like a flock with care He led them too. 53 He led them safely through the deeps; no cause of fear they found: But in the seas returning waves their following foes were drown'd. 54 His people brought into the bounds of this his sacred land; This mountain which He purchas'd by the work of his right hand. 55 Before them cast the nations out, and did their lands divide; And in their tents he plac'd the tribes of Isr'el to reside. [7 Part] 56 Yet still they tempted, still provok'd, and griev'd the GOD most High, His sacred testimomies they would not keep faithfully: 57 But like their fathers turned back: And faithlessness did show: They turned quickly back just like a bent deceitful bow. 58 For they with altars Him provok'd set up in places high; And with their graven images inflam'd his jealousy. 59 GOD hearing this, was wroth, and loath'd Isr'el with hatred great: 60 So Shiloh's tent He left, the tent He had among men set. 61 Yea He gave up his ark of strength into captivity; His glory gave into the hand of a vile enemy. 62 His people gave up to the sword, to its devouring rage; And was exceeding angry with his chosen heritage. 63 The fire of war consum'd their youth, their maids unmarried were: 64 Their priests were slaughter'd in the field, no widows mourn'd them there. 65 But then the Lord arose as one who rous'd from sleep awakes; Yea as a giant rais'd by wine, a mighty shouting makes. 66 And on the enemies behind He made his strokes to fall; And put them all to open shame, a shame perpetual. [8 Part] 67 The tents of Joseph He did then and Ephraim's tribe refuse: 68 But Judah's tribe and Zion hill, which He hath lov'd, did chuse. 69 And there his sanctuary built like palaces on high; Like to the earth He founded hath to perpetuity. 70 Of David his young servant He the choice did kindly make; And from the foldings of the sheep the royal Shepherd take. 71 From following the ewes with young, He rais'd him up to feed Isra'l his choice inheritance, his people, Jacob's seed. 72 So them he as a shepherd fed; and guided all the land, In his integrity of heart, and skilfulness of hand.

The First and Second Adam

Hymnal: PH1773 #II (1773) First Line: Backward with humble Shame we look Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble Shame we look on our Original; How is our Nature dash'd and broke I\in our first Father's Fall! To all that's Good averse and blind, nut prone to all that's ill; What dreadful Darkness veils our Mind! how obstinate our Will! 2 Conceiv'd in Sin (O wretched State!) before we draw our Breath; The first young Pulse begins to beat iniquity and Death. How strong in our degen'rate Blood the old Corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked Flood, wanders through all our Veins! 3 Wild and unwholesome as the Root will all the Branches be; How can we hope for living Fruit from such a deadly Tree? What mortal Pow'r from Things unclean can pure Productions bring? Who can command a vital stream from an infected Spring? 4 Yet, mighty God, thy wond'rous Love can make our Nature clean, While Christ and Grace prevail above the Tempter, Death, and Sin. The Second Adam shall restore the Ruins of the First; Hosanna to that Sov'reign Pow'r that new creates our Dust! Languages: English
