God is our refuge, strength, and shield

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge, strength and shield, When num'rous evils us surround; In troubles great a present help, And always ready to be found. 2 Therefore we will not be afraid, Altho' the earth removed be, Altho' the mountains should be hurl'd Into the center of the sea. 3 Nor tho' the seas tempestuous waves Should all disturb'd a roaring make, Nor tho' her waters swelling rage should make the lofty mountains quake. (Selah) 4 There is a river whose pure streams The city of our GOD make glad; The holy place which the most high Hath happily his dwelling made. 5 For GOD is in the midst of her; Therefore be moved shall not she; As early morning doth appear GOD will her mighty helper be. 6 The nations make tumultuous noise, The kingdoms greatly moved are; He utters forth his thund'ring voice, All all the earth dissolves with fear. 7 The LORD of armies is with us, Who firmly upon Him rely; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge safe and sure on high. (Selah) 8 O come, behold what wondrous works The mighyt LORD around hath wrought; What fearful desolations He Upon the earth hath justly brought. 9 But yet throughout the wearies earth Wars into peace he kindly turns, The spear he cuts, the bow he breaks, In fire the martial chariot burns. 10 Be still and know that I am GOD! I will o'er all exalted be; The nations shall exalt my name, The earth supreamly honour me. 11 The LORD of armies is with us, Who firmly upon Him rely; The God of jacob is for us A refuge safe and sure on high. (Selah) Scripture: Psalm 46

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: God of my righteousness to me Lyrics: 1 God of my righteousness to me, while calling, bend thine ear: Thou hast enlarg'd me when distress'd; me pity; hear my pray'r. 2 Ye sons of men, how long will ye my glory villify? How long love vanity will ye? and how long seek a lie. (Selah) 3 But know, the LORD hath set apart the pious for his own: The LORD will hear me when to him I make my humble moan. 4 Stand ye in awe, and sin no more; consider seriously, Within your hearts with silence deep, as on your beds ye lie. 5 The sacrifice of righteousness let freely off'red be And therewith place your confidence upon the LORD do ye. 6 While multitudes enquiring are, who'll cause us good to see? The light, LORD, of thy countenance let on us lifted be. 7 Thou giv'st more gladness in my heart than their's in times wherein Their harvest-corn and their new wine, have much increased been. 8 In peace with Him I will lie down, and I my sleep will take; For me in confidence to dwell, Thou, LORD, alone dost make. Scripture: Psalm 4

A Song of Loves

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Good matter springs up in my heart Lyrics: [1 Part, Address to CHRIST] 1 Good matter springs up in my heart; my words respect the King; And ready as a writer's pen my tongue his praise to sing. 2 O fairer than the sons of men; what wondrous grace we see Pour'd on thy lips; GOD therefore hat for ever blessed Thee. 3 Thy conqu'ring sword, O mighty one, gird Thou upon thy thigh; With glorious magnificence and comely majesty; 4 Ride prosp'rous on the word of truth, meekness and righteousness; And thy right hand shall wonders show of terror and of grace. 5 Within the hearts of the King's foes, thine arrows sharp shall be; Whereby the people overcome, shall fall down under Thee. 6 Thy universal throne, O GOD, ever and ever is; The scepter of thy kingdom sway'd in perfect righteousness. 7 Thou lovest right, and hatest ill; so GOD thy God in love Anointed Thee with oil of joy thy fellow-kings above. 8 Thy fragrant robes with aloes, myrrh, and cassia, which Thee clad, Brought from the iv'ry palaces, conspire to make Thee glad. 9 In thy bright circles round thy view kings daughters happy stand; And the fair Queen in ophir-gold appears at thy right hand. [2 Part, Address to the CHURCH.] 10 O daughter, hearken and behold, do thou incline thine ear; See thine own people thou forget and father's house so dear. 11 Then will thy beauty to the King, still more delightful be: yet must thou humbly worship Him, because thy Lord is He. 12 The daughter of rich Tyre shall soon her presents bring to thee; And riches people seek that they may in thy favour be. 13 But the King's Daughter is within all glorious to behold; And all her robes are bright'ned with embroideries of gold. 14 Thus to the king in royal robes, with needles richly wrought, and fellow-virgins in her train she shall to Thee be brought. 15 With gladness and increasing joy, they'r brought along in state, Till all exulting enter in the royal palace gate. 16 In their stead who thy fathers are thy lovely sons shall be; Whom thou mayst place in all the earth in princely dignity. 17 By this my song in ages all, I will transmit thy name, And make the world with one consent thy endless praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 45

Great is JEHOVAH! greatly He

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great is JEHOVAH! greatly He Is to be prais'd on high Within the city of our God, his mount of sanctity. 2 How beauteously mount Zion stands? her northern sides how fair? She is the joy of all the earth' the great King's city there! 3 GOD in her palaces is known to be a refuge high. 4 For lo, the kings assembled were, but pass'd together by. 5 They saw, and so they marvelled, they dare not near her stay; But troubled and affrighted were, and hast'ned fast away. 6 Yea then such terror seiz'd on them, such painful agonies, As when a lab'ring woman when her pangs upon her seize. 7 As when Thou raisest eastern storms on the tumultuous sea, Thou didst the ships of Tarshish break and drive our foes away. [2] 8 In city of the LORD of hosts, we see, as we were told In our God's city, that our GOD will ever her uphold. (Selah) 9 O GOD our tho'ts are oft employ'd on thy beningity: But most of all when we are in thy house of sanctity. 10 For as thy name, O GOD, so thro' the earth extends thy praise; And thy right hand we know is full of righteousness always. 11 O let mount Zion joyful be, and Judah's daughters glad; Because of all thy judgments now, so wondrously display'd 12 Walk forth and compass Zion round, and all about her go; Her stately tow'rs distinctly count and all their numbers know. 13 Attentively her bulwarks mark, her palaces view well: That to the age to come ye may her strength and beauty tell. 14 Because this GOD is our's; our God For evermore is he; Therefore our never-failing guide, He ev'n to death will be. Scripture: Psalm 48

A Song of Degrees of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Had not the Lord been on our side Lyrics: 1 Had not the LORD been on our side may Isr'el now confess; 2 Had not the LORD appear'd for us, in our extreme distress; 3 When men against us rsfe, inflam'd with rage and cruelty; Like rav'nous beasts they us alive had swallow'd instantly, 4 Or like ore'flowing waters, they had rag'd without controul; 5 The waters proud, the mighty streams had overwhelm'd our soul. 6 Then ever praised be the LORD, who sav'd from instant death; And would not give us up a prey to their devouring teeth. 7 Our soul escap'd is as a bird out of the fowler's snare: The snare asunder broken is, and we escaped are. 8 Our sure and alsufficient help is in JEHOVAH's name; Who all the glorious heav'ns around, and all the earth did frame. Scripture: Psalm 124

He that does in the secret place

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that does in the secret place of the most High reside, He under the Almighty's shade, securely shall abide. 2 Of this JEHOVAH, I will say, He is my refuge high, My strong munition and my God, on Him I will rely. 3 Because He from the fowler's snare, will safely keep thee free; And from the mortal pestilence, will He deliver thee. 4 He with his feathers will thee hide; his wings thy trust shall be; His truth shall be a certain shield and buckler safe to thee. 5 Thou shalt not be with fear dismay'd, for terrors in the night; Nor for the arrow that by day, shoots with the swiftest flight. 6 Nor for th' infection of the plague, that does in darkness stray: Nor for the slaughter raging on, and wasting at noon-day. 7 Tho' at thy side a thousand fall, and at thy right hand lie Ten thousand dead; yet none of them to touch thee shall come nigh. 8 Only, this awful thing thine eyes shall with attention see, How they who now live wickedly, shall then rewarded be. [2 Part] 9 Because thou hast JEHOVAH made thy dwelling place to be; Ev'n the most High, who always was a refuge safe to me; 10 Therefore no final injury shall ever thee befall, Nor any kind of penal plague come near thy dwelling shall. 11 For He'll his angles strictly charge, thee ever to attend, That safely thee in all thy ways they ever should defend. 12 They with their hands shall bear thee up, least, if thou be alone, At unawares thou dash thy foot, against a hurtful stone. 13 The lion and the adder fierce thou shalt securely tread; Young lions tread beneath thy feet, and crush the dragon's head. 14 'Because he sets his love on Me, 'deliver him will I: 'Because he knows and owns my name, 'I will exalt him high. 15 'He shall most freely call on Me, 'and I will answer him: 'I will with him in trouble be; 'him honour and redeem. 16 'As best shall be, with length of days, 'I will him satisfy: 'And my salvation I will make 'him see with joyful eye.

Hear this all people, all give ear

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hear this all people, and give ear, all in the world who dwell; 2 Both low and high, both rich and poor, together listen well. 3 I with my mouth variety of wisdom will impart; And prudent knowledge rising from the musing of my heart. 4 To an instructive parable I'll first incline mine ear; And then will with my song and harp My mystery declare. 5 Why should fear in evil days when the iniquities Of my stray feet surround me with hosts of calamities? [2 Part] 6 Those men that make their great estates their stay whereon to trust Or in th' abundance of their wealth who confidently boast; 7 Yet none of them his brother can by any means redeem Neither to GOD can ever pay a ransom meet for him. 8 So dear his life's redemption is, that bought it cannot be; 9 That he should still for ever live, And not corruption see. 10 For they must see that wise men die, the fool and brutish too All perish; and their great estates to others leave they do. 11 They think their houses ever stand, and dwelling places shall Last to all ages; and their lands by their own names they call; 12 But such men in their honour set Continue but a night; And like the beasts are soon cut off, And quickly perish quite. 13 This way of theirs their folly is; and yet their mouth* and way Their sons approve, and will pursue; like foolish sheep are they. 14 They in the sepulchre are laid, and death shall them devour; But in the morning over them the just shall have the pow'r. And from the houses where they dwell The beauty now they have Shall utterly consume away in the corrupting grave. 15 But GOD my soul will from the pow'r ev'n of the grave redeem; And he will surely me receive to live in bliss with him. (Selah0 [3 Part] 16 Be not disturb'd when thou dost see riches to any flow, Nor when the glory of his house abundantly does grow. 17 For he shall carry nothing hence when death his days shall end; Nor shall his glory after him into the grave descend. 18 Tho' he his soul doth greatly bless, while he on earth does live; And when thou to thy self dost well, men will their praises give; 19 Yet in their fathers steps they tread; and when like them thy die, Their wretched ancestors and they in utter darkness lie. 20 For man how great soever here, unless he's truly wise; As like a sensual beast he lives, so like a beast he dies. Scripture: Psalm 49

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Help, O Jehovah now, because Lyrics: 1 Help, O JEHOVAH now, because the godly man doth cease, And from among the sons of men the faithful men decrease. 2 The most, now, to their neighbours speak deceitful vanities; With flatt'ring lips they smoothly speak, with double hearts and lies. 3 But ev'ry flatt'ring lip the LORD will cut off certainly; And all proud tongues that utter forth words boasting, great and high: 4 Who thus declare, 'We with out tongues 'prevailing pow'r will gain: 'Are not our lips our own? and who 'Lord* over us shall reign?' 5 For poor oppress'd and needy sighs, the LORD says, now I'll rise, And them in safety I will set from those who them despise. 6 JEHOVAH's words are sords most pure; they are as silver try'd In earthen furnaces o'er fier, and sev'n times purify'd. 7 JEHOVAH, thou wilt safely keep the upright-hearted poor, And from this generation them preserve for evermore; 8 Tho' wicked walk on ev'ry side, grow bold and multiply; And vile ones by the sons of men Exalted be on high. Scripture: Psalm 12

Come where the living waters flow; Come, buy, eat, drink my wine and milk; Tho' nothing ye, of worth, can show. 2 Why do ye spend your cost and toil, For what cannot content the soul?

Let them remember He's our God, So wondrous for benignity; O let them then return to Him, And He'll forgive abundantly. Scripture: Isaiah 55
