Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck; or, the Seaman's Song

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #203b (1787) Topics: Deliverance from shipwreck; Deliverance from shipwreck First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, With the bold mariner, survey The unknown regions of the sea. 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 heavens 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 assuage, And stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er, And hail with joy their native shore. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private offerings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

"My life is spent with grief," I cried, "My years consumed in groans, My strength decays, mine eyes are dried, And sorrow wastes my bones." Among mine enemies my name Was a mere proverb grown, While to my neighbors I became Forgotten and unknown. Slander and fear on every side Seized and beset me round I to the throne of grace applied, And speedy rescue found. How great deliverance thou hast wrought Before the sons of men! The lying lips to silence brought, And made their boastings vain! Thy children from the strife of tongues Shall thy pavilion hide; Guard them from infamy and wrongs, And crush the sons of pride. Within thy secret presence, Lord, Let me for ever dwell; No fenced city, walled and barred, Secures a saint so well. Scripture: Psalm 31:7-13 Languages: English
