A Song of Degrees

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: David, and all his troubles, Lord Lyrics: 1 David, and all his troubles, LORD, O do Thou kindly think upon: 2 How to the LORD he sware, and how He vow'd to Jacob's mighty one; 3 Into my tent I will not go, Nor to my bed for sweet repose; 4 No sleep will to mine eyes afford, Nor slumber shall my eye-lids close; 5 Until I for the LORD have found And for his ark a dwelling place; For Him who is the mighty One, Of Jacob, and his favour'd race. 6 Behold at Ephrata we heard The place of its retir'd abode; And search'd till it we found with joy, In a dark field enclos'd with wood. 7 We'll go into his sacred tents Our worship at his footstool pay. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest, And with thine ark of strength there stay. 9 Let righteousness thy priests adorn, Thy saints with shouts their joy display: 10 And for thy servant David's sake Turn thy MESSIAH not away. [2 Part] 11 The LORD to David sware in truth; The oath he never will disown; "I one descended from thy loins "Will surely set upon thy throne: 12 "And if my covenant and law "That to thy children teach shall I, "They always keep, then shall their race "Sit on thy throne perpetually. 13 "Because the LORD hath Zion chose, "And there desir'd to have his seat; 14 "This is my rest for ever; here "I'll dwell, for I desired it; 15 "I'll here provision greatly bless "And satisfy her poor with food: 16 "Her priests with my salvation cloath, "Her saints with joy shall shout aloud. 17 "There David's horn I'll make to spring "There my MESSIAH'S lamp ordain: 18 "With sham I'll cloath his foes: on Him "His crown shall flourish and remain. Scripture: Psalm 132

The Deity and Humanity of CHRIST

Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God He was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. By His own Pow'r were all Things made, By Him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 2 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Number of thy Years?) But lo, He leaves those heavenly Forms The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That He may hold converse with Worms, Dress'd in such feeble Flesh as they. 3 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the God-head shone! Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of Emanuel.

The Offices of the HOLY SPIRIT

Appears in 248 hymnals First Line: Eternal Spirit! we confess Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit! we confess And sing the Wonders of thy Grace; Thy Pow'r conveys our Blessings down From God the Father and the Son. Inlighten'd by thine heav'nly Ray, Our Shades and Darkness turn to Day; Thine inward Teachings make us know Our Danger, and our Refuge too. 2 Thy Pow'r and glory work within, And break the Chains of reigning Sin; Do our imperious Lusts subdue, And form our wretched Hearts anew. The troubled Conscience knows thy Voice, Thy cheering Words awake our Joys, Thy Words allay the stormy Wind, And calm the Surges of the Mind.

The humble Worship of Heaven

Appears in 100 hymnals First Line: Father, I long, I faint to see Lyrics: 1 Father, I long, I faint to see The Place of thine Abode; I'd leave thine earthly Courts, and flee Up to thy Seat my God! Here I behold thy distant Face, And 'tis a pleasing Sight; But to abide in thine Embrace Is Infinite Delight. 2 I'd part with all the Joys of Sense To gaze upon thy Throne; Pleasure springs fresh for ever thence, Unspeakable, Unknown. There all the heav'nly Hosts are seen, In shining Ranks they move, And drink immortal Vigour in With Wonder, and with Love. 3 Then at thy feet with awful fear Th' adoring Armies fall; With Joy they shrink to NOTHING there, Before th' Eternal ALL. There I would vie with all the Host In duty and in Bliss; While LESS THAN NOTHING I could boast, And VANITY confess. 4 The more thy glories strike mine eyes The humbler I shall lie; Thus while I sink, my joys shall rise Unmeasurably high.

Pardon and Strength from CHRIST

Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Father, we wait to feel thy Grace Lyrics: 1 Father, we wait to feel thy Grace, To see thy Glories shine; The Lord will his own Table bless, And make the Feast divine. We touch, we taste the heav'nly Bread, We drink the sacred Cup; With outward Forms our Sense is fed, Our Souls rejoyce in Hope. 2 We shall appear before the Throne Of our forgiving God, Dress'd in the Garments of his Son, And sprinkled with his Blood. We shall be strong to run the Race, And climb the upper Sky; Christ will provide our Souls with Grace, He bought a large Supply. 3 Let us indulge a chearful Frame, For Joy becomes a Feast; We love the Mem'ry of his Name More than the Wine we taste.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Fools, in their hearts, say there's no GOD Lyrics: 1 Fools in their hearts say, there's no GOD, and so corrupt they grow, Abominable sins commit, and nothing good they do. 2 From heav'n JEHOVAH looked down on sons of men, to see If any who do understand, or seek to GOD there be. 3 They altogether filthy are; they all are backward* gone; There are not any that do good, no verily, not one. 4 The workers of iniquity, do they not know at all? That they my people eat as bread, nor on the LORD will call. 5 Yet they shall with a grievous fear appalled greatly be, When GOD among the righteous race they once shall come to see. 6 The counsel of the poor oppress'd, ye mock'd and try'd to shame; Because the LORD their refuge is, and they hope in his name. 7 Who will from Zion Isr'el save? when back the LORD shall bring His captives; Jacob will rejoyce, and Isr'el gladly sing. Scripture: Psalm 14

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Fret not thy self at wicked men Lyrics: 1 Fret not thy self at wicked men, for their prosperity; Nor be thou envious at the men who work iniquity. 2 For like the grass that flourished, cut quickly down are they; And like the green and tender herb, shall wither soon away. 3 Upon JEHOVAH put thy trust, and be thou doing good: So shalt thou dwell within the land, and truth* shall be thy food. 4 See that thou set thy hearts' delight chiefly upon the LORD: Then the just wishes of thy heart to thee he will afford. 5 Upon the LORD devolve thy way, by faith on Him depend; And He will bring thy good designs to a most happy end. 6 Yea, like the shining light will he they righteousness display; And He thy judgment will bring forth clear-shining as noon-day. 7 Rest on the LORD, and patiently wait for Him; fret not thou At him who prospers in his way in ill devices now. 8 All wrath relinquish utterly; cease from rash anger too: In no wise fret thy self, to move Thee any ill to do. 9 For those who evil doers are shall be cut off and fall; But those who on JEHOVAH wait the earth inherit shall. 10 For, yet a little while, and here the wicked shall not be. Yea thou shalt look and view his place but him thou shalt not see. 11 Whereas the meek and humble shall the earth as heirs possess; And thankfully delight themselves in plenteousness of peace. [2 Part] 12 The wicked plots against the just; they gnash their teeth and foam; 13 But them the Lord derides, and sees their fatal day will come. 14 The wicked forth their sword have drawn and bent their bow have they To cast the poor and needy down, The upright men to slay. 15 But their own swords into their hearts shall enter suddenly: Their bows which they have bent shall all in pieces broken be. 16 The little that a righteous man enjoys, is better far, Than when to many wicked join'd their stores of riches are. 17 For of ungodly men the arms shall wholly broken be; But those who righteous are, the LORD will hold up carefully. 18 The LORD, the days of upright men exactly knows; and sure Their promised inheritance for ever shall endure. 19 In dangerous and evil times, from shame they shall be free; And when the days of famine come, they satify'd shall be. 20 But wicked men shall perish soon; and who the LORD provoke, Shall like the fat of lambs consume, and vanish into smoke. [3 Part] 21 The man ungodly borrows much, and takes no are to pay; Whereas the just man mercy shews, and freely gives away. 22 For such as blessed are by Him, The earth inherit shall: But those who by Him cursed are, shall be cut off and fall. 23 The steps of good men by the LORD are ordered aright; And in their good and righteous way, He takes a great delight. 24 Altho' they fall, yet shall they not be cast down utterly; Because JEHOVAH with his hand upholds them carefully. 25 Nor in my youth, nor in my age, ev'n to my hoary head; Nor have I seen the just forsook, nor their seed begging bread. 26 He shews his mercy ev'ry day and lends to those who need; And blessing he behind him leaves, to all his godly seed. 27 Wherefore from evil far depart; do good; and then besure, Thou shalt have such a dwelling place as ever shall endure. 28 Because the LORD doth judgment love, his saints forsakes not He: Kept ever are they; but cut off, the sinner's race shall be. 29 The just inherit shall the land, And ever therein dwell. 30 The just man's mouth doth wisdom speak; His tongue right judgment tell. 31 The God's pure law is in his heart, none of his steps shall stray. 32 The wicked watches for the just, And seeks for him to slay. 33 But yet JEHOVAH will not leave the just man in his hands; Nor will the righteous man condemn when He in judgment stands. [4 Part] 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way; and Thee exalt will He, Th' earth to inherit, when cut off the wicked thou shalt see. 35 The wicked man I have beheld in dreadful pow'r and pride; Ev'n like a laurel flourishing, and spreading far and wide. 36 Nevertheless he pass'd away, and, lo he quite was gone; I searched for him, but could find no glimpse of such a one. 37 But mark the perfect, and observe the man of uprightness; And thou shalt see, that of this man the latter end is peace. 36 Whereas those who transgressors are, together perish shall; To be cut off shall be the end of men ungodly all. 39 But the salvation of the just does from JEHOVAH come: And he's their strength to whom they look in times most troublesome. 40 Yea help and free them will the LORD; he will defend the just From wicked men, He will them save, because in Him they trust. Scripture: Psalm 37

From ancient times I have declared

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 21 From ancient times I have declar'd, I am JEHOVAH, GOD alone, A righteous God, and Me besides A saviour is, or can be none. 22 Then look to Me ye fainting souls, In ev'ry place, in ev'ry land; And ye shall joyfully receive Salvation at my mighty hand. 23 For I am God, and none besides, I even by My self have sworn In righteousness: and now the word Gone from my mouth, shall not return: It is, 'that every knee to Me 'Shall bow, and ev'ry tongue shall swear, 24 'And say, that in the LORD alone 'My strength and righteousnesses are: Yea all who feel their wretchedness With humble joy shall come to Him: But those who with Him are displeas'd, Shall be distress'd with endless shame. 25 In Thee, JEHOVAH, Isr'els race, All fully justify'd shall be; In Thee shall triumph oe'r their foes, And all be glorify'd in Thee. Scripture: Isaiah 45:21-25

The holy Triumphs of my Soul Shall Death itself out brave, Leave dull Mortality behind, And fly beyond the Grave. 2 There, where my blessed Jesus reigns, In Heav'n's unmeasur'd Space, I'll spend a long Eternity In Pleasure and in Praise. Millions of years my wond'ring Eyes Shall o'er thy Beauties rove, And endless Ages, I'll adore, The Glories of thy Love. 3 Sweet Jesus, ev'ry Smile of thine Shall fresh Endearments bring; And thousand Tastes of new Delight From all thy Graces spring. Haste, my Beloved, fetch my Soul Up to thy bless'd Abode; Fly, for my Spirit longs to see My Saviour and my God.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Give ear, O God, to my loud cry Lyrics: 1 Give ear, O GOD, to my loud cry, and to my pray'r attend; As from the corners of the earth, my cries to Thee ascend. 2 And now my heart is overwhelm'd, ready to fail and die, O lead me up into the rock, that Higher is than I. 3 For in my danger Thou hast been, a shelter safe to me; A tow'r of strength and sure defence against my enemy. 4 Within thy tabernacle I, for ever will abide; And in the covert of thy wings will trust and safely hide. (Selah.) 5 For Thou, O GOD, hast heard my vows as they before Thee came; And gav'st me an inheritance, with those who fear thy name. 6 O wilt Thou give this to the King, yet many days to see; To many generations let his years prolonged be. 7 Let him before the face of GOD, for evermore remain; And let benignity and truth, secure his happy reign. 8 So will I ever to thy name sing grateful songs of praise; And chearfully perform my vows thro' all my future days. Scripture: Psalm 61
