Public Prayer and Praise

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #117b (1787) First Line: The praise of Sion waits for thee Lyrics: 1 The praise of Sion waits for thee, My God; and praise becomes thy house; There shall thy saints thy glory see And there perform their public vows. 2 O thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray; All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And every yielding heart obey. 3 Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away the stain: The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. 4 Blest is the man whom thou shalt chuse, And give him kind access to thee; Give him a place within thy house, To taste thy love divinely free. Pause. 5 Let Babel fear when Sion prays, Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion's God himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6 With dreadful glory God fulfils What his afflicted saints request; And with Almighty wrath reveals His love to give his churches rest. 7 Then shall the flocking nations run To Sion's hill and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Saviour's name ador'd.

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #118 (1787) First Line: The God of our Salvation hears Lyrics: 1 The God of our Salvation hears The groans of Sion mix'd with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. 2 On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known By nature's feeble light alone. 3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and Billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. 4 He bids the noisy tempest cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves, Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. 5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form; Mountains establish'd by his hand Firm on their old foundation stand. 6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The Heathen lands with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. 7 At his command the morning ray Smiles in the East, and leads the day, He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. 8 Seasons and times obey his voice; The evening and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers. 9 'Tis from his watery stores on high, He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. 10 The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant food the vallies yield; The vallies shout with cheerful voice, And neighboring hills repeat their joys. 11 The pastures smile in green array, There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb, Each in his language speaks thy name. 12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year.
