How blest is he, who ne'er consents

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIII (1789) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents By ill advice to walk; Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor fits Where men profanely talk: 2 But makes the perfect law of God His bus'ness and delight; Devoutly reads therein by day, And meditates by might. 3 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, With timely fruit does bend, He still shall flourish, and success All his designs attend. 4 Ungodly men, and their attempts, No lasting root shall find; Untimely blasted, and dispers'd, Like chaff before the wind. 5 For God approves the just man's ways; To happiness they tend: But sinners, and the paths they tread, Shall both in ruin end.

Consider that the righteous man

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIV (1789) Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 Consider that the righteous man Is God's peculiar choice: And when to him I make my pray'r, He always hears my voice. 2 Then stand in awe of his commands; Flee ev'ry thing that's ill; Commune in private with your hearts, And bind them to his will. 3 The place of other sacrifice Let righteousness supply; And let your hope, securely fix'd, On God alone rely. 4 While worldly minds impatient grow, More prosp'rous times to see; Still let the glories of thy face shine brightly, Lord, on me. 5 So shall my heart o'er flow with joy More lasting and more true, Than theirs, who stores of corn and wine Successively renew. 6 Then down in peace I'll lay my head, And take my needful rest: No other guard, O Lord, I crave, Of thy defence posses'd.

Or what his offspring, that thou prov'st To them so wond'rous kind? 5 Him next in pow'r thou didst create To thy celestial train; Ordain'd with dignity and state, O'er all thy works to reign. 6 They jointly own his powerful sway; The beasts that prey or graze; The bird that wings its airy way; The fish that cuts the seas. 7 O thou, to whom all creatures bow Within this earthly frame, Thro' all the world how great art thou, How glorious is thy name!

Bless God, my soul! Thou Lord, alone

Thou, Lord, alone Possessest empire without bounds, With honour thou art crown'd; thy throne Eternal majesty surrounds. 2 With light thou dost thyself enrobe, And glory for a garment take; Heav'n's curtains stretch beyond the globe, Thy canopy of state to make. 3 God builds on liquid air, and forms His palace chambers in the skies; The clouds his chariots are, and storms The swift-wing'd steeds with which he flies. 4 As bright as flame, as swift as wind, His ministers heav'n's palace fill, To have their sundry tasks assign'd; All proud to serve their sov'reign's will. 5 Earth on her centre fix'd he set, Her face with waters overspread; Nor proudest mountains dar'd as yet, To lift above the waves their head. 6 But when thy awful face appear'd, Th' insulting waves dispers'd; they fled, When once thy thunder's voice they heard, And by their haste confess'd their dread. 7 Thence up by secret tracks they creep, And, gushing from the mountains side, Thro' vallies travel to the deep, Appointed to receive their tide. 8 There hast thou fix'd the ocean's bounds, The threat'ning surges to repel; That they no more o'erpass their mounds, Nor to a second deluge swell. 9 Yet thence in smaller parties drawn, The sea recovers her lost hills; And starting springs, from ev'ry lawn, Surprise the vales with plenteous rills. 10 The fields' tame beasts are thither led, Weary with labour, faint with drought; And asses, on wild mountains bred, Have sense to find these currents out. 11 There shady trees from scorching beams, Yield shelter to the feather'd throng; They drink, and to the bounteous streams Return the tribute of their song. 12 His rains from heav'n parch'd hills recruit, That soon transmit the liquid store; 'Till earth is burden'd with her fruit, And nature's lap can hold no more. 13 Grass, for our cattle to devour, He makes the growth of every field; Herbs, for man's use, of various pow'r, That either food or physick yield. 14 With cluster'd grapes he crowns the vine, To cheer man's heart, oppress'd with cares; Give oil, that makes his face to shine; And corn, that wasted strength repairs. 15 The trees of God, without the care Or art of man, with sap are fed; The mountain cedar looks as fair, As those in royal gardens bred. 16 Safe in the lofty cedar's arms The wand'rers of the air may rest; The hospitable pine from harms Protects the stork, her pious guest. 17 Wild goats the craggy rock ascend, Its tow'ring heights their fortress make, Whose cells in labyrinths extend, Where feebler creatures refuge take. 18 The moon's inconstant aspect shows Th' appointed season of the year; Th' instructed sun his duty knows, His hours to rise and disappear. 19 Darkness he makes the earth to shroud, When forest-beasts securely stray; Young lions roar their wants aloud To Providence, that sends them prey. 20 They range all night, on slaughter bent, 'Till, summon'd by the rising morn To skulk in dens, with one consent, The conscious ravagers return. 21 Forth to the tillage of his soil The husbandman securely goes, Commencing with the sun his toil, With him returns to his repose. 22 How various, Lord, thy works are found! For which thy wisdom we adore! The earth is with thy treasure crown'd, Till nature's hand can grasp no more. 23 But still, the vast unfathom'd main Of wonders a new scene supplies, Whose depths inhabitants contain Of ev'ry form and ev'ry size. 24 Full freighted ships from ev'ry port, There cut their unmolested way; Leviathan, whom there to sport Thou mad'st, has compass there to play. 25 These various troops of sea and land In sense of common want agree; All wait on thy dispensing hand, And have their daily alms from thee. 26 They gather what thy stores disperse, Without their trouble to provide; Thou op'st thy hand, the universe, The craving world, is all supply'd. 27 Thou for a moment hid'st thy face, The num'rous ranks of creatures mourn: Thou tak'st their breath, all nature's race Forthwith to mother earth return. 28 Again thou send'st thy spirit forth, T' inspire the mass with vital seed; Nature's restor'd, and parent earth Smiles on her new created breed. 29 Thus through successive ages stands Firm fix'd, thy providential care; Pleas'd with the work of thy own hands, Thou dost the wastes of time repair. 30 In praising God, while he prolongs My breath, I will that breath employ; And join devotion to my songs, Sincere as in him is my joy: Topics: Psalms of Praise and Adoration Languages: English

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XII (1789) Scripture: Psalm 113 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints and servants of the Lord, The triumphs of his name record; His sacred name forever bless. Where-e'er the circling sun displays His rising beams, or setting rays, Due praise to his great name address. 2 God through the world extends his sway: The regions of eternal day But shadows of his glory are. To him, whose majesty excels, Who made the heav'n wherein he dwells, Let no created power compare. Topics: Psalms of Praise and Adoration Languages: English

How bless'd are they who always keep

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXVIII (1789) Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 How bless'd are they who always keep The pure and perfect way! Who never from the sacred paths Of God's commandments stray! 2 Thrice bless'd! who to his righteous laws Have still obedient been! And have. with fervent, humble zeal His favour sought to win! 3 Such men their utmost caution use, To shun each wicked deed; But in the path which he directs With constant care proceed. 4 Thou strictly hast enjoin'd us, Lord, To learn thy sacred will; And all our diligence employ Thy statutes to fulfil. 5 O then that thy most holy will Might o'er my ways preside! And I the course of all my life By thy direction guide! 6 Then with assurance would I walk, From all confusion free; Convinc'd, with joy, that all my ways With thy commands agree. 7 The wonders, which thy law contains, No words can represent; Therefore. to learn and practise them My zealous heart is bent. 8 The very entrance to thy word Celestial light displays, And knowledge of true happiness To simplest minds conveys. 9 With eager hopes I waiting stood, And fainted with desire, That of thy wise commands I might The sacred skill acquire. 10 With favour, Lord, look down on me, Who thy relief implore; As thou art wont to visit those That thy blest name adore. 11 Directed by thy heav'nly word, Let all my footsteps be; Nor wickedness, of any kind Dominion have o'er me. 12 Forever and forever, Lord, Unchang'd thou dost remain; Thy word, establish'd in the heav'ns, Does all their orbs sustain. 13 Thro' circling ages, Lord, thy truth Immoveable shall stand; As does the earth, which thou uphold'st By thy almighty hand. 14 All things the course by thee ordain'd, E'en to this day, fulfil; They are thy faithful subjects all, And servants of thy will. 15 Unless thy sacred law had been My comfort and delight, I must have fainted and expir'd In dark affliction's night. 16 Thy precepts, therefore, from my thoughts Shall never, Lord, depart; For thou by them hast to new life Restor'd my dying heart. 17 I've seen an end of what we call Perfection here below; But thy commandments, like thyself, No change or period know.

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.X (1789) Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known My rising up and lying down; My secret thoughts are known to thee, Known long before conceiv'd by me. 2 Thine eye my bed and paths surveys, My publick haunts and private ways; Thou know'st what 'tis my lips would vent, My yet unutter'd words' intent. 3 Surrounded by thy pow'r I stand; On ev'ry side I find thy hand. O skill, for human reach too high! Too dazzling bright for mortal eye! 4 Let me acknowledge, too, O God, That since this maze of life I trod, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The pow'r of numbers to recount: 5 Far sooner could I reckon o'er The sands upon the ocean's shore: Each morn, revising what I've done, I find th' account but new begun. 6 Search, try, O God, my thoughts and heart, If mischief lurks in any part; Correct me where I go astray, And guide me in thy perfect way.

To thee, O Lord, my cries ascend

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXI (1789) Scripture: Psalm 141 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, my cries ascend, O haste to my relief; And with accustom'd pity hear The sccents of my grief. 2 Instead of off'rings, let my pray'r Like morning incense rise; My lifted hands supply the place Of ev'ning sacrifice. 3 From hasty language curb my tongue, And let a constant guard Still keep the portal of my lips, With wary silence barr'd. 4 From wicked men's designs and deeds My heart and hands restrain; Nor let me in the booty share Of their unrighteous gain. 5 Let upright men reprove my faults, And I shall think them kind; Like balm that heals a wounded head, I their reproof shall find. 6 And in return, my fervent pray'r I shall for them address, When thy are tempted and reduc'd, Like me, to sore distress.

Ye boundless realms of joy

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XV (1789) Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 Ye boundless realms of joy, Exalt your Maker's fame: His praise your songs employ Above the starry frame; Your voices raise, Ye Cherubim And Seraphim, To sing his praise. 2 Thou moon that rul'st the night, And sun that guid'st the day; Ye glitt'ring stars of light, To him your homage pay; His praise declare, Ye heav'ns above, And clouds that move In liquid air. 3 Let them adore the Lord, And praise his holy name, By whose almighty word They all from nothing came: And all shall last, From changes free; His firm decree Stands ever fast. 4 United zeal be shown, His wond'rous fame to raise, Whose glorious name alone Deserves our endless praise. Earth's utmost ends His pow'r obey: His glorious sway The sky transcends. Topics: Psalms of Praise and Adoration Languages: English

O praise the Lord in that blest place

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXI (1789) Scripture: Psalm 150 Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord in that blest place From whence his goodness largely flows; Praise him in heav'n, where he his face Unveil'd, in perfect glory shows. 2 Praise him for all the mighty acts, Which he in our behalf has done; His Kindness this return exacts, With which our praise should equal run. 3 Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice Make rocks and hills his praise rebound; Praise him with harp's melodious noise, And gentle psaltry's silver sound. 4 Let virgin troops soft timbrels bring, And some with graceful motion dance; Let instruments of various strings, With organs join'd, his praise advance. 5 Let them who joyful hymns compose, To cymbals set their songs of praise; Cymbals of common use, and those That loudly sound on solemn days. 6 Let all that vital breath enjoy, The breath he does to them afford, In just returns of praise employ; Let every creature praise the Lord.
