A Psalm or Song of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Let God arise, and all his foes Lyrics: 1 Let GOD arise, and all his foes abroad dispersed be: Let them who haters of Him are, away before him flee. 2 As smoke, the wicked Thou wilt drive and quite disperse abroad: As wax by fire, so shall they melt before the face of GOD. 3 But let the righteous all be glad; O let them joyful be Before GOD's face; yea let them all rejoyce exceedingly. 4 Sing ye to GOD, O sing his praise; with joy extol his name: His name is JAH, and high he rides on heav'ns exalted frame. 5 For He a tender father is to children fatherless; And GOD the widow's judge is in his place of holiness. 6 GOD sets the single in an house; frees captives from their bands; But those who rebels are to Him, inhabit thirsty lands. [2 Part] 7 O GOD, when once Thou didst go forth before thy people's face, And thro' the hideous wilderness didst as their leader pass; (Selah.) 8 The earth did at GOD's presence shake: the heav'ns the drop'd and fell: Sinai shook at the fight of GOD, the God of Israel. 9 O GOD, Thou on thy heritage, didst pour a plenteous rain; Whereby, Thou when it weary was, didst it revive again. 10 Thy congregation then dd make their habitation there; And of thy goodness for the poor, O GOD, thou didst prepare. 11 The Lord gave forth his word on high, abroad it quickly came; And great the army was of those who published the same. 12 The kings of mighty armies fled, in haste they fled away: And she that safely stay'd at home, help'd to divide the prey. 13 Tho' slaves among the pots ye lay; you soon we did behold, Like a fair dove with silver wings and feathers bright with gold. 14 When the Almighty scatter'd kings so glorious then ye were; Like glitt'ring snow on Salmon-hill, ye did as bright appear. [3 Part] 15 Like to the mount of Bashan is the mountain of our GOD: More choice than Bashan is the mount of his design'd abode. 16 Why leap ye so, ye lofty hills? for this, this is the hill Where GOD desires to dwell, and where the LORD will ever dwell. 17 The chariot of the mighty GOD millions* the angels are; And still among them is the Lord, as on mount Sinai, there. 18 Thou hast ascended up on high as our victorious head: Thou num'rous hosts of captives hast thy happy captives led. Thou hast rich gifts receiv'd for men, for such as did rebell; That GOD, whose name is JAH with them might condescend to dwell 19 O blessed be this gracious Lord, who daily doth us load With many benefits, and is of our salvation God. (Selah.) 20 He of salvation is the God, who is our God most strong; And to the Lord JEHOVAH do issues from death belong. 21 But GOD will deeply wound their heads, who are his stubborn foes; The hairy crown of him who still on in his trespass goes. [4 Part] 22 The Lord said, I'll bring back again, again from Bashan-land, My people thro' the depth of seas by my almighty hand. 23 That Thou may'st vanquish thy proud foes, so merciless and strong; And in the chase may'st dip in blood thy foot, and dogs their tongue. 24 Thy goings to thy holy place, O GOD, they all have seen: Thy goings O my God, my king, how glorious have they been! 25 Sweet singers marching in the van, musicians in the rear; And in the midst a virgin train, with timbrels charm the ear. 26 Bless GOD thro' all your companies, and forth his praises tell: The sov'reign Lord, O bless all ye, who spring from Israel. 27 Princes of Benjamin's small tribe, and Judah's heads combine; And Zebulan and Naphtali's and glad procession join. 28 Thy God commanded all thy strength, and thus hath strengthned thee; Confirm, O GOD, what Thou for us hast wrought so wondrously. [5 Part] 29 Ev'n for thy sacred temple sake built at Jerusalem, The kings around shall come and bring, their costly gifts with them. 30 Rebuke the spearmen's companies, and all the multitude Of people fierce as mighty bulls, and fatted calves as rude; Till all submit and tribute bring of silver from afar; O scatter Thou the people who delight in spoil and war. 31 Princes shall them bow down to Thee, and come from Egypt's lands; And Ethiopia shall to GOD, stretch out in haste her hands 32 O sing aloud to GOD with joy, ye kingdoms of the earth, And to the sov'reign Lord, O sing with psalms in sacred mirth. (Selah.) 33 To Him who rides on heav'ns of heav'ns, which he of old did found; Lo how he sends his awful voice, a voice of might sound. 34 Ascribe ye boundless pow'r to GOD; whose glorious dignity, Is over Isra'l, and his pow'r shines in the lofty sky. 35 O GOD, how terrible art Thou out of thy holy place! God mighty pow'r his people gives: to GOD be all the praise. Scripture: Psalm 68

Let him with kisses of his mouth

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: The Church: 2 Let Him with kisses of his mouth be pleased me to kiss: For better than the choicest wine thy lovingkindness is. 3 Thy name as ointment poured out: for that most fragrant smell Of thy choice ointment therefore do the virgins love thee well. 4 O draw Thou me and readily we will run after Thee; Into his secret chambers hath the King conducted me. We will be glad, and will in Thee exceedingly delight; Thy love remember more than wine love Thee do the upright. 5 O daughters of Jerusalem! I'm black; and yet you own I'm comely as Kedar tents and beds of Solomon. 6 Because I blackish am, therefore upon me look not ye; Because the sun with scorching beams, has looked fierce on me. My mother's sons displeas'd with me, vineyards did me assign to keep: whereas I scarce could keep the vineyard singly mine. 7 Tell me Thou whom my soul doth love, where Thou thy seed dost take; And where at noon-time Thou thy flock to rest doth kindly make. For wherefore should I be as one, who vailed, turns away From thy companions and their flocks and sadly goes astray? Christ: 8 Most fair of women, know'st thou not? then by the flock-steps go: Till to the shepherd's tents you come: and feed thy kids there too. 9 To troops in Pharaoh's chariots I will Thee my love compare. 10 Thy neck with chains; with rows of gems thy comely cheeks appear. 11 [Yet that thou mayst be comelier still, and as becoming mine,] We'll make thee ornaments of gold, with silver spangles shine The Church: 12 While the King at his table sits My spikenard-ointment sends And spreads its fragrance all around, to please Him and his friends. 13 As a fresh bunch of fragrant myrrh, is my belov'd to me; Which constantly between my breasts, shall my companion be. Christ: 14 As a ripe camphire-cluster in Engedi's vineyard grown; So my beloved is to me a perfect lovley one. 15 Lo fair, my Love, lo fair art Thou! thine eyes as doves eyes are: 16 Lo fair transcendently Thou art, and sweet s Thou art fair! Our bed of rest is richly green, most grateful to the eyes: 17 Our houses beams of cedars are, of firr our galleries. Scripture: Song of Solomon 1

Repentance and Faith necessary

Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Life and immortal Joys are giv'n Lyrics: 1 Life and immortal Joys are giv'n To Souls that mourn the Sins they've done; Children of wrath made heirs of Heaven By Faith in God's eternal Son. Wo to the Wretch that never felt The inward Pangs of pious Grief, But adds to all his crying Guilt The stubborn Sin of Unbelief. 2 The Law condemns the Rebel dead, Under the Wrath of God he lies; He seals the Curse on his own Head, And with a double Vengeance dies.

Lo fair thou art, lo fair my Love!

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo fair thou art,lo fair my Love! doves-eyes in thy locks are; Thy hair as flocks of goats that on mount Gilead high appear. 2 Thy teeth are like the whitned flock, which from the washing rose, New shorn, and ev'ry one bare twins, and none without them goes. 3 Thy lips are like a scarlet thread, whence graceful accents flow: Within thy locks, thy temples like pomgranates in their blow. 4 Thy neck like to David's tow'r appears built for an magazine; Wherein a thousand bucklers hang, all shields of mighty men. 5 Thy two fair breasts are like two fawns, twins of a roe, who feed Among the lillies of the vale; but thine in charms exceed. 6 Till morning's fragrant breath shall rise, and all the shades fly hence. I'll get me to the mount of myrrh, and hill of frankincense. 7 All fair thou art, my lovely one, there is no spot in thee! 8 My spouse, O come from Lebanon, from Lebanon with Me! Look from the top of Amana, from Shenir's summit high From Hermon's top; from lions dens, from leopard's mountains fly. 9 My sister, spouse! thou hast my heart quite ravished from Me, With one of thy chaste eyes, with one chain of thy neck I see 10 How fair thy loves my sister, spouse, how far they wine excell! How far above all spices is thy od'rous ointments smell! 11 Thy lips drop like the honey-comb, my spouse, beneath thy tongue Honey and milk: thy cloaths perfume like scents from Lebanon. 12 My sister, spouse, a gardne is, fenc'd for security; And as a precious spring enclos'd, a fountain seal'd for Me. 13 Thy cions, of pomgranates, are the sprouts of paradise, With all the most delicious fruits, camphire and spikenard choice. 14 Where calamus and cinnamon, with saffron, spikenard too, All incense-trees, aloes and mirrh, with all chief spices grow. 15 A fountain there, of gardens is in thee, and springs that run, Yea living springs that send their streams all round from Lebanon The Church: 16 Awake, O north wind, come thou south, and on my garden blow; That all the spice and odours there may forth abundant flow: And then let my Beloved one into his garden come, Partake of his delicious fruit, and of his choice perfume. Scripture: Song of Solomon 4

The glorious Reign of Christ on Earth

Appears in 288 hymnals First Line: Lo, what a glorious Sight appears Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious Sight appears To our believing Eyes! The Earth and Seas are pass'd away, And the old rolling Skies. From the third Heav'n where God resides, That holy, happy Place, The New Jerusalem comes down, Adorn'd with shining Grace. 2 Attending Angels shout for Joy, And the bright armies sing, Mortals, behold the sacred Seat Of your descending King. The God of Glory down to Men Removes his bless'd Abode; Men the dear Objects of his Grace, And He the loving God. 3 His own soft Hand shall wipe the Tears From every weeping Eye, And Pains, and Groans, and Griefs, and Fears, And Death itself, shall die. How long, dear Savior, O how long! Shall this bright Hour delay? Fly swifter round, ye wheels of Time, And bring the welcome Day.

And to my supplications voice, O give attentive ear! 3 Lord, who can stand, if thou, O JAH shouldst mark iniquity? 4 But with Thee there forgiveness is that feared thou may'st be. 5 Therefore for Thee, O LORD, I wait, my soul still waits for Thee; And on thy known and faithful word I hope continually. 6 My soul looks out more for the Lord, than watchers in the night; Yea more than watchers wearied out, look for the dawning light. 7 Let Israel then wait hopefully, and on the LORD confide; For boundless mercies with the LORD continually reside: 8 Yea plenteous redemption is eternally with him; And Isr'el He from all their sins will perfectly redeem. Scripture: Psalm 130

Lord God, to whom alone pertains

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God to whom alone pertains the recompence of wrongs, O mighty God, shine clearly forth, to whom revenge belongs. 2 Thou Judge of th' earth wilt rise, the proud their wages pay. 3 How long, O LORD, shall wicked men, how long triumph shall they? 4 How long shall they break out and say, things very hard to bear? How long shall all such boast themselves, who wicked workers are? 5 LORD, they thy people grind to dust, thine heritage oppress; 6 The widow and the stranger slay, And kill the fatherless. 7 And yet they insolently say; JAH, this shall never see, Nor by the God of Jacob shall, these things regarded be. 8 But O ye stupid people, will ye never learn to know Ye foolish in your hearts and ways, wise will ye never grow? 9 He planted ev'ry hearing ear; and hear then shall not He? Who formed ev'ry seeing eye, shall He not clearly see? 10 He who the nations doth chastize, shall he not chasten you? He teaches knowledge to all men: and shall not He them know? 11 JEHOVAH always clearly sees, what thoughts men entertain; He judges and He tries them all, and knows they all are vain. [2 Part] 12 O JAH, how bless'd is he whom Thou dost fatherly chastise; And out of thy most perfect law, Thou teachest to be wise? 13 That Thou may'st give him quietness till evil times are past; Until the pit be digg'd wherein, the wicked shall be cast. 14 For sure the LORD will not cast off His people utterly; Nor his inheritance forsake to perpetuity. 15 But judgment shall to righteousness, clearly return and reign; And all who are of upright heart, shall follow in her train. 16 Against the evil doers, who will up for me arise? Who stand up for me against those that work iniquities? 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, none other could me save; My soul had quickly dwelt within the silence of the grave. 18 And when I said, my moving foot is ready just to slide; Thy mercies LORD, then held me up, and made me firm abide. 19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts, tumultuous in my mind, Still from thy consolations sweet, My soul delight doth find. 20 What shall the throne of wickedness Have fellowship with Thee; Which frameth mischief by a law and acts it by decree? 21 They run in crouds against the souls of men both just and good; And they condemn to punishment, those of most harmless blood. 22 But yet the LORD has always been a refuge high to me; and of my confidence the rock my God shall always be. 23 The LORD our God their mischief will on their own heads repay; In their own malice cut the down, yea will them surely slay. Scripture: Psalm 94

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, hear my humble prayer to thee Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear my humble pray'r to Thee, and to my cries attend; And in thy truth and righteousness a gracious answer send. 2 O with thy servant enter not in judgment me to try; For in thy sight no man alive, himself can justify. 3 The foe pursues my soul, my life down to the ground doth tread, In darkness makes me dwell as those that ages have been dead. 4 Therefore my soul is overwhelm'd with great perplexity; My heart, of joy and comfort is made desolate in me. 5 I call'd to mind the days of old, on all thy works I thought; I meditated on the deeds thy mighty hands have wrought. 6 And now I earnestly to Thee reach mine out-stretched hands; My soul for Thee with ardour longs, like dry and thirsty lands. [2 Part] 7 LORD hear with speed, my spirit fails: hide not thy face from me; Lest I like those who in the grave descend, should quickly be. 8 Let me thy kindness early hear; in Thee my hope I place: Shew me the way wherein to go; my soul to Thee I raise. 9 JEHOVAH, from mine enemies quickly deliver me: To hide me safe beneath thy wings in haste I fly to Thee. 10 Teach me to do thy will, because Thou art my GOD indeed: Let thy good spirit to the land of uprightness me lead. 11 Yea for the sake of thy great name, O LORD, revive Thou me; And in thy righteousness do Thou my soul from trouble free. 12 Yea, in thy mercy Thou my foes, wilt quite suppress; and them Thou wilt destroy who vex my soul, for I thy servant am. Scripture: Psalm 143
