"From vile idolatry Preserve my worship clean; I am the Lord, who set thee free From slavery and sin. "Stretch thy desires abroad, And I'll supply them well: But if ye will refuse your God, If Isr'el will rebel; "I'll leave them," saith the Lord, "To their own lusts a prey, And let them run the dang'rous road, 'Tis their own chosen way. "Yet, O! that all my saints Would hearken to my voice! Soon I would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice. "While I destroy their foes, I'd richly feed my flock; And they should taste the stream that flows From their eternal rock."

Psalm 81: Sing loud to God our strength; with joy

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 First Line: Sing loud to God our strength; with joy Lyrics: 1Sing loud to God our strength; with joy to Jacob’s God do sing. 2Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp, timbrel and psalt’ry bring. 3Blow trumpets at new-moon, what day our feast appointed is: 4For charge to Isr’el, and a law of Jacob’s God was this. 5To Joseph this a testimony he made, when Egypt land He travell’d through, where speech I heard I did not understand. 6His shoulder I from burdens took, his hands from pots did free. 7Thou didst in trouble on me call, and I deliver’d thee: In secret place of thundering I did thee answer make; And at the streams of Meribah of thee a proof did take. 8O thou, my people, give an ear, I’ll testify to thee; To thee, O Isr’el, if thou wilt but hearken unto me. 9In midst of thee there shall not be any strange god at all; Nor unto any god unknown thou bowing down shalt fall. 10I am the Lord thy God, which did from Egypt land thee guide; I’ll fill thy mouth abundantly, do thou it open wide. 11But yet my people to my voice would not attentive be; And ev’n my chosen Israel he would have none of me. 12So to the lust of their own hearts I them delivered; And then in counsels of their own they vainly wandered. 13O that my people had me heard, Isr’el my ways had chose! 14I had their en’mies soon subdu’d, my hand turn’d on their foes. 15The haters of the Lord to him submission should have feign’d; But as for them, their time should have for evermore remain’d. 16He should have also fed them with the finest of the wheat; Of honey from the rock thy fill I should have made thee eat.

To God, our never failing strength

Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 Lyrics: 1 To God, our never-failing Strength, with loud applauses sing; And jointly make a chearful Noise to Jacob's awful King. 2 Compose a Hymn of Praise, and touch your Instruments of Joy: Let Psalteries and pleasant Harps, your grateful Skill employ. 3 Let Trumpets at the great new Moon their joyful Voices raise, To celebrate th' appointed time, the solemn Day of Praise. 4 For this a Statute was of old, which Jacob's God decreed To be with pious Care observ'd by Isr'el's chosen Seed. 5 This He for a Memorial fix'd, when freed from Egypt's Land; Strange Nations barb'rous Speech we heard, but could not understand. 6 Your butthen'd Shoulders I reliev'd, (thus seem'd our God to say) Your servile Hands by me were freed from lab'ring in the Clay. 7 Your Ancestors, with Wrongs oppress'd, to me for Aid did call: With Pity I their Suff'rings saw, and set them free from all. They fought for me, and from the clouds in thunder I reply'd: At Meribah's contentious Stream their Faith and Duty try'd. 8 While I my solemn Will declare, my chosen People, hear: If thou, O Isr'el, to my Words wilt lend thy list'ning Ear; 9 Then shall no God besides myself within thy Coasts be found: Nor shalt thou worship any God of all the nations round. 10 The Lord thy God am I, who thee brought forth from Egypt's Land: 'Tis I that all thy just Desires supply with lib'ral Hand. 11 But they, my chosen Race, refus'd to hearken to my Voice; Nor would rebellious Isr'el's Sons make me their happy Choice. 12 So I provok'd, resign'd them up, to ev'ry Lust a Prey; And in their own perverse Designs permitted them to stray. 13 O that my People wisely would my just Commandments heed! And Isr'el in my righteous Ways with pious Care proceed! 14 Then should my heavy Judgments fall on all that them oppose; And my avenging Hand be turn'd against their num'rous Foes. 15 Their Enemies and mine should all before my Footstool bend: But as for them, their happy State should never know an End. 16 All Parts with Plenty should abound; with finest Wheat their Field: The barren Rocks, to please their Taste, should richest Honey yield.
