With Glory clad, with Strength array'd

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XCIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 With Glory clad, with Strength array'd, The Lord that o'er all Nature reigns, The World's Foundations strongly laid, And the vast Fabric still sustains. 2 How surely stablish'd is thy Throne! Which shall no Change or Period see; For thou, O Lord, and Thou alone, Art God from all Eternity. 3,4 The Floods, O Lord, lift up their Voice, And toss the troubled Waves on high; But God above can still their Noise, And make the angry Sea comply. 5 Thy Promise, Lord, is ever sure, And they that in thy House would dwell, That happy Station to secure, Must still in Holiness excel. Scripture: Psalm 93 Languages: English

O God, to whom Revenge belongs

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XCIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 O God to whom Revenge belongs, 2 thy Vengeance now disclose; Arise, thou Judge of all the Earth, and crush thy haughty Foes. 3,4 How long, O Lord, shall sinful Men their solemn Triumphs make? How long their wicked Actions boast, and insolently speak? 5,6 Not only they thy Saints oppress, but, unprovok'd, they spill The Widow's and the Stranger's Blood, and helpless Orphans kill. 7 "And yet the Lord shall ne'er perceive, (prophanely thus they speak) "Nor any Notice of our Deeds "the God of Jacob take." 8 At length, ye stupid Fools, your Wants endeavour to discern; In Folly will you still proceed, and Wisdom never learn? 9.10 Can He be deaf who form'd the Ear, or blind who fram'd the Eye? Shall Earth's great Judge not punish those, who his known Will defy? 11 He fathoms all the Thoughts of Men, to Him their Hearts lie bare; His Eye surveys them all, and sees how vain their Counsels are. Part II 12 Blest is the Man whom Thou, O Lord, in Kindness dost chastise, And by thy sacred Rules to walk do'st lovingly advise. 13 This Man shall Rest and Safety find in Seasons of Distress: Whilst God prepares a Pit for those that stubbornly transgress. 14 For God will never from his Saints his Favour wholly take: His own Possession and his Lot, he will not quite forsake. 15 The World shall then confess Thee just in all that Thou hast done; And those that chuse thy upright Ways, shall in those Paths go on. 16 Who will appear in my Behalf, (when wicked Men invade) Or who, when Sinners would oppress, my righteous Cause shall plead? 17,18,19 Long since had I in Silence slept, but that the Lord was near, To stay me when I slipt, when sad, my troubled Heart to chear. 20 Wilt thou, who art a God most just, their sinful Throne sustain, Who make the Law a fair Pretence their wicked Ends to gain? 21 Against the Lives of righteous Men they form their close Design; And Blood of Innocents to spill, in solemn League combine. 22 But my Defence is firmly plac'd in God the Lord most high: He is my Rock, to which I may for Refuge always fly. 23 The Lord shall cause their ill Designs on their own Heads to fall: He in their Sins shall cut them off, our God shall slay them all.

When Isr'el by th' Almighty led

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, by th' Almighty led, (Enrich'd with their Oppressor's Spoil) From Egypt march'd, and Jacob's Seed From Bondage in a foreign Soil; 2 Jehovah, for his Residence, Chose out Imperial Judah's Tent, His Mansion Royal, and from thence Thro' Is'rel's Camp his Orders sent. 3 The distant Sea with Terror saw, And from th' Almighty's Presence fled; Old Jordan's Streams surpriz'd with Awe, Retreated to their Fountain's Head. 4 The taller Mountains skipp'd like Rams, When Danger near the Fold they hear; The Hills skipp'd after them, like Lambs, Affrighted by their Leader's Fear. 5 O Sea, what made your Tide withdraw, And naked leave your oozy Bed? Why Jordan against Nature's Law, Recoild'st thou to thy Fountain's Head? 6 Why Mountains did ye skip like Rams, When Danger does approach the Fold? Why after you the Hills like Lambs, When they their Leader's Flight behold? 7 Earth tremble on; well may'st thou fear Thy Lord and Maker's Face to see: When Jacob's awful God draws near, 'Tis time for Earth and Seas to flee. 8 To flee from God, who Nature's Law Confirms and cancels at his Will? Who Springs from flinty Rocks can draw, And thirsty Vales with Water fill. Scripture: Psalm 114 Languages: English

In vain we lavish out our Lives

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 In vain we lavish out our Lives to gather empty Wind, The choicest Blessings Earth can yield will starve a hungry Mind. 2 Come, and the Lord shall feed our Souls with more substantial Meat, With such as Saints in Glory love, with such as Angels eat. 3 Our God will every Want supply, and fill our Hearts with Peace; He gives by Cov'nant and by Oath the Riches of his Grace. 4 Come, and He'll cleanse our spotted Souls, and wash away our Stains In the dear Fountain that his Son pour'd from his dying Veins. 5 Our Guilt shall vanish all away, tho' black as Hell before; Our Sins shall sink beneath the Sea, and shall be found no more. 6 And lest Pollution should o'er-spread our inward Pow'rs again, His Spirit shall bedew our Souls, like purifying Rain. 7 Our Heart, that flinty stubborn Thing, that Terrors cannot move, That fears no Threatnings of his Wrath, shall be dissolv'd by Love. 8 Or He can take the Flint away that would not be refin'd. And from the Treasures of his Grace bestow a softer Mind. 9 There shall his sacred Spirit dwell, and deep engrave his Law, And ev'ry Motion of our Souls to swift Obedience draw. 10 Thus will He pour Salvation down, and we shall render Praise; We the dear People of his Love, and He our God of Grace. Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English

All mortal Vanities be gone

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HXXXVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 All mortal Vanities be gone, Nor tempt my Eyes, nor tire my Ears; Behold, amidst th' eternal Throne, A Vision of the Lamb appears. 2 Glory his fleecy Robe adorns, Mark'd with the bloody Death He bore; Sev'n are his Eyes, and sev'n his Horns, To speak his Wisdom and his Pow'r. 3 Lo, He receives a sealed Book From Him that sits upon the Throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark Decrees and Things unknown. 4 All the assembling Saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new Songs of Gospel-Sound Address their Honours to his Name. 5 The Joy, the Shout, the Harmony Flies o'er the everlasting Hills "Worthy art Thou alone," (they cry) To read the Book, to loose the Seals." 6 Our Voices join the heav'nly Strain, And with transporting Pleasure sing, Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King. 7 His Words of Prophecy reveal Eternal Counsels, deep Designs; His Grace and Vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful Lines. 8 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls from Hell With thine invaluable Blood; And Wretches that did once rebel Are now made Fav'rites of their God. 9 Worthy for ever is the Lord, That dy'd for Treasons not his own, By ev'ry Tongue to be ador'd, And dwell upon his Father's Throne. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-9 Languages: English

Hark! from the Tombs a doleful Sound

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLXVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Hark! from the Tombs a doleful Sound, my Ears, attend the Cry, "Ye living Men come view the Ground, "where you must shortly lie. 2 "Princes, this Clay must be your Bed, "in spight of all your Tow'rs; "The tall, the wise, the rev'rend Head "must lie as low as ours. 3 Great God! is this our certain Doom? and are we still secure? Still walking downward to our Tomb, and yet prepare no more? 4 Grant us the Pow'rs of quick'ning Grace, to fit our Souls to fly, Then when we drop this dying Flesh, we'll rise above the Sky.
