Psalm 107 Last Part

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.238 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When God, provoked with daring crimes Lyrics: When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. Thus they are blessed; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn; The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns; Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind.

"Aaron and all his sons must die; But everlasting life is thine, To save for ever those that fly For refuge from the wrath divine. "By me Melchizedek was made On earth a king and priest at once; And thou, my heav'nly Priest, shalt plead, And thou, my King, shalt rule my sons. Jesus the Priest ascends his throne, While counsels of eternal peace, Between the Father and the Son, Proceed with honor and success. Through the whole earth his reign shall spread, And crush the powers that dare rebel; Then shall he judge the rising dead, And send the guilty world to hell.

Psalm 112

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.246 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord Lyrics: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word; Honor and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. Compassion dwells upon his mind, To works of mercy still inclined; He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbors round with dread, His heart is armed against the fear, For God with all his power is there. His soul, well fixed upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. He hath dispersed his alms abroad; His works are still before his God; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners fret in vain.

Psalm 113

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.249 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye servants of th' Almighty King Lyrics: Ye servants of th' Almighty King, In every age his praises sing; Where'er the sun shall rise or set, The nations shall his praise repeat. Above the earth, beyond the sky, Stands his high throne of majesty; Nor time nor place his power restrain, Nor bound his universal reign. Which of the sons of Adam dare, Or angels, with their God compare? His glories how divinely bright, Who dwells in uncreated light! Behold his love! he stoops to view What saints above and angels do; And condescends yet more to know The mean affairs of men below. From dust and cottages obscure, His grace exalts the humble poor; Gives them the honor of his sons, And fits them for their heav'nly thrones. [A word of his creating voice Can make the barren house rejoice; Though Sarah's ninety years were past, The promised seed is born at last. With joy the mother views her son, And tells the wonders God has done: Faith may grow strong when sense despairs, If nature fails, the promise bears.] Topics: God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God and condescension Scripture: Psalm 113 Languages: English

Psalm 114

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.250 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's hand Lyrics: When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's hand, Left the proud tyrant and his land, The tribes with cheerful homage own Their King, and Judah was his throne. Across the deep their journey lay; The deep divides to make them way; Jordan beheld their march, and fled With backward current to his head. The mountains shook like frighted sheep, Like lambs the little hillocks leap; Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sovereign power at hand. What power could make the deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his tide? Why did ye leap, ye little hills? And whence the fright that Sinai feels? Let every mountain, every flood, Retire and know th' approaching God, The King of Isr'el: see him here; Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear. He thunders, and all nature mourns; The rock to standing pools he turns; Flints spring with fountains at his word, And fires and seas confess the Lord. Topics: Israel travels in the wilderness; Miracles in the wilderness Scripture: Psalm 114 Languages: English

Psalm 115

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.251 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due, Eternal God, thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise, and true. Shine forth in all thy dreadful name; Why should a heathen's haughty tongue Insult us, and, to raise our shame, Say, "Where's the God you've served so long?" The God we serve maintains his throne Above the clouds, beyond the skies; Through all the earth his will is done; He knows our groans, he hears our cries. But the vain idols they adore Are senseless shapes of stone and wood; At best a mass of glitt'ring ore, A silver saint or golden god. [With eyes and ears they carve their head; Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly off'rings made, And vows are scattered in the wind. Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay them fear or love Seem to be blind and deaf as they.] O Isr'el! make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. The dead no more can speak thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave; But we shall live to sing thy grace, And tell the world thy power to save.

Great God, the work is all divine, The joy and wonder of our eyes; This is the day that proves it thine, The day that saw our Savior rise. Sinners, rejoice; and saints, be glad; Hosanna, let his name be blest; A thousand honors on his head, With peace, and light, and glory rest!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.280 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When pain and anguish seize me, Lord Lyrics: When pain and anguish seize me, Lord, All my support is from thy word: My soul dissolves for heaviness; Uphold me with thy strength'ning grace. The proud have framed their scoffs and lies, They watch my feet with envious eyes, And tempt my soul to snares and sin, Yet thy commands I ne'er decline. They hate me, Lord, without a cause, They hate to see me love thy laws; But I will trust and fear thy name, Till pride and malice die with shame.
