Through all his works his wisdom shines, And baffles Satan's deep designs; His power is sovereign to fulfil The noblest counsels of his will. And will this glorious Lord descend To be my Father and my Friend? Then let my songs with angels join; Heav'n is secure, if God be mine. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English

Let Children hear the mighty Deeds

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78a (1766) Topics: Glutton Lyrics: 1 Let Children hear the mighty Deeds Which GOD perform'd of old; Which in our younger Years we saw, And which our Fathers told. 2 He bids us make his Glories known; His Works of Pow'r and Grace; And we'll convey his Wonders down Through ev'ry rising Race. 3 Our Lips shall tell them to our Sons, And they again to theirs, That Generations yet unborn May teach them to their Heirs. 4 Thus shall they learn, in GOD alone Their Hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget his Works, But practise his Commands.

O what a stiff rebellious House

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78b (1766) Topics: Glutton Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry Walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the Foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.

When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78c (1766) Topics: Glutton Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves, And fills their Hearts with Dread; Yet he forgives the Men he loves, And sends them heav'nly Bread. 2 He fed them with a lib'ral Hand, And made his Treasures known; He gave the Midnight Clouds Command To pour Provision down. 3 The Manna, like a Morning Show'r, Lay thick around their Feet; The Corn of Heav'n, so light, so pure, As though 'twere Angels Meat. 4 But they in murm'ring Language said, "Manna is all our Feast; "We loath this light, this airy Bread; "We must have Flesh to taste." 5 Ye shall have Flesh to please your Lust, The Lord in Wrath reply'd, And sent 'em Quails, like Sand or Dust, Heap'd up from Side to Side. 6 He gave 'em all their own Desire, And greedy as they fed, His Vengeance burnt with secret Fire, And smote the Rebels dead. 7 When some were slain, the rest return'd And sought the Lord with Tears; Under the Rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their Fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious Hand, The Nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd Land. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English

Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78d (1766) Topics: Glutton Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove By Turns thine Anger and thy Love? There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways, Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill. Scripture: Psalm 78:32-72 Languages: English

Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107a (1766) Topics: Drunkard and Glutton Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above, Kind are his Thoughts, his Name is Love; His Mercy Ages past have known, And Ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the Redeemed of the Lord The Wonders of his Grace record; Isr'el, the Nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty Foes. 3 [When GOD's Almighty Arm had broke Their Fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke, They trac'd the Desart, wand'ring round A wild and solitary Ground! 4 There they could find no leading Road, Nor City for a fix'd Abode; Nor Food nor Fountain to asswage Their burning Thirst or Hunger's Rage.] 5 In their Distress to GOD they cry'd; GOD was their Saviour and their Guide; He led their March far wand'ring round; 'Twas the right Path to Canaan's Ground. 6 Thus when our first Release we gain From Sin's old Yoke, and Satan's Chain, We have this desert World to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome Place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the Way, He guides our Footsteps, lest we stray; He guards us with a pow'rful Hand, And brings us to the heav'nly Land. 8 O let the Saints with joy record The Truth and Goodness of the Lord! How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

From Age to Age exalt his Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107b (1766) Topics: Drunkard and Glutton Lyrics: 1 From Age to Age exalt his Name, GOD and his Grace are still the same; He fills the hungry Soul with Food, And feeds the Poor with ev'ry Good. 2 But if their Hearts rebel and rise Against the GOD that rules the Skies, If they reject his heav'nly Word, And slight the Counsels of the Lord; 3 He'll bring their Spirits to the Ground, And no Deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with Grief they waste their Breath In Darkness and the Shades of Death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries, He makes the dawning Light arise, And scatters all that dismal Shade That hung so heavy round their Head. 5 He cuts the Bars of Brass in two, And lets the smiling Pris'ners through, Takes off the Load of Guilt and Grief, And gives the lab'ring Soul Relief. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord; How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Would you behold the Works of God

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107d (1766) Topics: Drunkard and Glutton Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the Works of God, His Wonders in the World abroad, Go with the Mariners, and trace The unknown Regions of the Seas. 2 They leave their native Shores behind, And seize the Favour of the Wind; Till GOD commands, and Tempests rise That heave the Ocean to the Skies. 3 Now to the Heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful Deeps again; What strange Affrights young Sailors feel, And like a staggering Drunkard reel! 4 When Land is far, and Death is nigh, Lost to all Hope, to GOD they cry; His Mercy hears the loud Address, And sends Salvation in Distress. 5 He bids the Winds their Wrath asswage, The furious Waves forget their Rage; 'Tis calm; and Sailors smile to see The Haven where they wish'd to be. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! Let them their private Off'rings bring, And in the Church his Glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107e (1766) Topics: Drunkard and Glutton Lyrics: 1 Thy Works of Glory, mighty Lord, Thy Wonders in the Deeps, The Sons of Courage shall record, Who trade in floating Ships. 2 At thy Command the Winds arise, And swell the tow'ring Waves; The Men astonish'd mount the Skies, And sink in gaping Graves. 3 [Again they climb the watry Hills, And plunge in Deeps again; Each like a tott'ring Drunkard reels, And finds his Courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the Tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring Breath, And hopeless of the distant Shore, Expect immediate Death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries; He hears the loud Request, And orders Silence through the Skies, And lays the Floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their Fears, And see the Storm allay'd: Now to their Eyes the Port appears; There let their Vows be paid. 7 'Tis GOD, that brings them safe to Land; Let stupid Mortals know That Waves are under his Command, And all the Winds that blow. 8 O that the Sons of Men would praise The Goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wond'rous Ways, Thy wond'rous Love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
