Psalm 12

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Times evil; Evil times; Saints safety in evil times First Line: Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail Lyrics: Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail, Religion loses ground, The sons of violence prevail, And treacheries abound. Their oaths and promises they break, Yet act the flatterer's part; With fair, deceitful lips they speak, And with a double heart. If we reprove some hateful lie, How is their fury stirred "Are not our lips our own?" they cry; "And who shall be our Lord?" Scoffers appear on every side, Where a vile race of men Is raised to seats of power and pride, And bears the sword in vain. Lord, when iniquities abound, And blasphemy grows bold; When faith is hardly to be found, And love is waxing cold; Is not thy chariot hast'ning on? Hast thou not giv'n this sign? May we not trust and live upon A promise so divine? "Yes," saith the Lord, "now will I rise, And make oppressors flee; I shall appear to their surprise, And set my servants free." Thy word, like silver sev'n times tried, Through ages shall endure; The men that in thy truth confide Shall find the promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12

Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Evil times First Line: My Refuge is the God of Love Lyrics: 1 My Refuge is the GOD of Love, Why do my Foes insult, and cry, "Fly like a timorous, trembling dove, "To distant Woods or Mountains fly." 2 If Government be all destroy'd, (That firm Foundation of our Peace) And Violence make Justice void, Where shall the righteous seek Redress? 3 The Lord in Heaven has fix'd his Throne, His Eye surveys the World below; To him all mortal Things are known, His Eye-lids search our Spirits through. 4 If he afflicts his Saints so far, To prove their Love, and try their Grace, What may the bold Transgressors fear? His very Soul abhors their ways. 5 On impious Wretches he shall rain Tempests of Brimstone, fire and Death, Such as he kindled on the Plain Of Sodom, with his angry breath. 6 The righteous Lord loves righteous Souls, Whose Thoughts and Actions are sincere; And with a gracious Eye beholds The Men that his own Image bear.

The Lord of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob's God is still our aid: Behold the works his hand has wrought, What desolations he has made! From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease; When from on high his thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace. He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear Chariots he burns with heav'nly flame; Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of his name. "Be still, and learn that I am God; I'll be exalted o'er the lands; I will be known and feared abroad; But still my throne in Zion stands." O Lord of hosts, Almighty King, While we so near thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 46

Or say, our lips are not our own? 5 The Lord, who sees the poor opprest, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. 6 Thy word, O Lord, though often try'd, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, seven times purify'd From dross and mixture, shines so clear. 7 Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the from danger and surprise; Tho' when the vilest men have power, On every side oppressors rise.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes, shall still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come; no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
