The man is ever blest

Hymnal: BW1867 #376 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners' ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place. 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, His name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How shall they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overflow.

In mercy, not in wrath

Hymnal: BW1867 #354 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 6 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God! Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touched by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed Oh let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I for ever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 Oh come, ere life expire, Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave? 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Topics: Man a Saint Lukewarm and Backsliding Languages: English

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Hymnal: BW1867 #258 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Languages: English

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: BW1867 #43 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. 2 The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: 4 While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets, in their turn, Confirm the tidings, as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball-- What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found-- 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine-- The Hand that made us is divine.

God's perfect law converts the soul

Hymnal: BW1867 #245 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom His sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fixed, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weighed; 4 Of more esteem than golden mines. Or gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distill. 5 My trusty counsellors they are, And friendly warning give: Divine rewards attend on those Who by Thy precepts live. 6 But what frail man observes how oft He does from virtue fall? Oh cleanse me from my secret faults, Thou God, that know'st them all! 7 Let no presumptuous sin, O Lord, Dominion have o'er me; That, by Thy grace preserved I may The great transgression flee. 8 So shall my prayer and praises be With Thy acceptance blest; And I, secure on Thy defence, My strength and Saviour, rest.

Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our perpetual home. Topics: God the Father Providence Languages: English
