Afflicted Saints happy, and prosperous Sinners cursed

Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Now I'm convinc'd the Lord is kind Lyrics: 1 Now I'm convinc'd the Lord is kind To Men of Heart sincere; Yet once my foolish Thoughts repin'd, And border'd on Despair. 2 I griev'd to see the Wicked thrive, And spoke with angry Greath, "How pleasant and profane they live! "How peaceful is their Death! 3 "With well-fed Flesh and haughty Eyes, "They lay their Fears to sleep; "Against the Heav'ns their Slanders rise, "While Saints in Silence weep. 4 "In vain I lift my Hands to pray, "And cleanse my Heart in vain, "For I am chasten'd all the Day, "The Night renews my Pain." 5 Yet while my Tongue indulg'd Complaints, I felt my Heart reprove; "Sure I shall thus offend thy Saints, And grieve the Men I Love." 6 But still I found my Doubts too hard, The Conflict too severe, Till I retir'd to search thy Word, And learn thy Secrets there. 7 There, as in some prophetic Glass, I saw the Sinner's Feet High mounted on a slipp'ry Place, Beside a fi'ry Pit. 8 I heard the Wretch profanely boast, 'Till at thy Frown he fell; His Honours in a Dream were lost, And he awakes in Hell. 9 Lord, what an envious Fool I was! How like a thoughtless Beast! Thus to suspect thy promis'd Grace, And think the Wicked blest. 10 Yet I was kept from full Despair, Upheld by Pow'r unknown; That blessed Hand that broke the Snare Shall guide me to thy Throne. Topics: Prosperity dangerous; Providence its mystery unfolded Scripture: Psalm 73

GOD our Portion here and hereafter

Appears in 223 hymnals First Line: GOD, my Supporter and my Hope Lyrics: 1 God, my Supporter and my Hope, My Help for ever near, Thine arm of Mercy held me up, When sinking in Despair. 2 Thy Counsels, Lord, shall guide my Feet Through this dark Wilderness; Thine Hand conduct me near thy Seat, To dwell before thy Face. 3 Were I in Heav'n without my GOD, 'Twould be no Joy to me; And whilst this earth is my Abode, I long for none but Thee. 4 What if the Springs of Life were broke, And Flesh and Heart should faint, GOD is my Soul's eternal Rock, The Strength of ev'ry Saint. 5 Behold, the Sinners that remove Far from thy Presence die; Not all the Idol Gods they love Can save 'em when they cry. 6 But to draw near to Thee, my GOD, Shall be my sweet Employ; My Tongue shall sound thy Works abroad, And tell the World my Joy.

Abounding Compassion of God; or Mercy in the Midst of Judgment

Appears in 467 hymnals First Line: My Soul, repeat his Praise Lyrics: 1 My Soul, repeat his Praise, Whose Mercies are so great; Whose Anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 GOD will not always chide; And when his Strokes are felt, His Strokes are fewer than our Crimes, And lighter than our Guilt. 3 High as the Heav'ns are raised Above the Ground we tread, So far the Riches of his Grace Our highest Thoughts exceed. 4 His Pow'r subdues our sins, And his forgiving Love Far as the East is from the West Doth all our Guilt remove. 5 The Pity of the Lord, To those that fear his Name, Is such as tender Parents feel; He knows our feeble Frame. 6 He knows we are but Dust, Scatter'd with every Breath; His Anger, like a rising Wind, Can send us swift to Death. 7 Our Days are as the Grass, Or like the Morning Flow'r; If one sharp Blast sweep o'er the Field It withers in an Hour. 8 But thy Compassion, Lord, To endless Years endure; And Children's Children ever find Thy Words of Promise sure. Topics: Afflicted gentle; Angels praise the Lord; Compassion of God; God his universal dominion; God mercy and truth; Goodness of God; Mercies common and special; Mercies spiritual and temporal Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18

The Glory of God in Creaton and Providence

Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: My Soul thy great Creator praise Lyrics: 1 My Soul, thy great Creator praise; When cloth'd in his celestial Rays He in full Majesty appears And, like a Robe his Glory wears. 2 The Heav'ns are for his Curtains spread, Th' unfathomed Deep he makes his Bed; Clouds are his Chariot when he flies On winged Storms across the Skies. 3 Angels, whom his own Breath inspires, His Ministers, are flaming Fires; And swift as Thought their Armies move, To bear his Vengeance or his Love. 4 The World's Foundations by his Hand Are pois'd, and shall for ever stand; He binds the Ocean in his Chain, Lest it should drown the Earth again. 5 When Earth was cover'd with the Flood, Which high above the Mountains stood, He thunder'd, and the Ocean fled, Confin'd to its appointed Bed. 6 The swelling Billows know their Bound, And in their Channels walk their Round; Yet thence convey'd by secret Veins, They spring on Hills and drench the Plains. 7 He bids the Crystal Fountains flow; And chear the Vallies as they go; Tame Heifers there their Thirst allay, And for the Stream wild Asses bray. 8 From pleasant Trees which shade the Brink, The Lark and Linnet light to drink Their Songs the Lark and Linnet raise, And chide our Silence in his Praise. Pause I 9 GOD from his cloudy Cistern pours On the parch'd Earth enriching Show'rs: The Grove, the Garden, and the Field, A Thousand joyful Blessings yield. 10 He makes the grassy Food arise, And gives the Cattle large Supplies: With Herbs for Man, of various Pow'r, To nourish Nature, or to cure. 11 What noble Fruit the Vines produce! The Olive yields a shining juice; Our Hearts are cheer'd with gen'rous Wine, With inward Joy our Faces shine. 12 O bless his Name, ye Britons, fed With Nature's chief Supporter, Bread; While Bread your vital Strength imparts, Serve him with Vigour in your Hearts. Pause II 13 Behold the stately Cedar stands, Rais'd in the Forest by his Hands; Birds to the Boughs for Shelter fly, And build their Nests secure on high. 14 To craggy Hill ascends the Goat; And at the airy Mountain's Foot The feebler Creatures make their Cell; He gives them Wisdom where to dwell. 15 He sets the Sun his circling Race, Appoints the Moon to change her Face; And when thick Darkness veils the Day, Calls out wild Beasts to hunt their Prey. 16 Fierce Lions lead their Young abroad, And, roaring, ask their Meat from GOD; But when the Morning-Beams arise, The savage Beast to Covert flies. 17 Then Man to daily Labour goes; The Night was made for his Repose; Sleep is thy Gift, that sweet Relief From tiresome Toil and wasting Grief. 18 How strange thy Works! how great thy Skill! And ev'ry Land thy Riches fill: Thy Wisdom round the World we see; This spacious Earth is full of Thee. 19 Nor less thy Glories in the Deep, Where Fish in Millions swim and creep With wond'rous Motions, swift or slow, Still wand'ring in the Paths below. 20 There Ships divide their watry Way, And Flocks of scaly Monsters play; There dwells the huge Leviathan, And foams and sports in Spite of Man. Pause III 21 Vast are thy Works, Almighty Lord, All Nature rests upon thy Word, And the whole Race of Creatures stands, Waiting their Portion from thy Hands. 22 While each receives his diff'rent Food, Their chearful Looks pronounce it good: Eagles and Bears, and Whales and Worms, Rejoice and praise in diff'rent Forms. 23 But when thy Face is hid, they mourn, And dying, to their Dust return; Both Man and Beast their Souls resign; Life, Breath and Spirit, all is thine. 24 But thou canst breathe on Dust again, And fill the World with Beasts and Men; A Word of thy creating Breath Repairs the Wastes of Time and Death. 25 His Works, the Wonders of his Might, Are honour'd with his own Delight; How awful are his glorious Ways! The Lord is dreadful in his Praise. 26 The Earth stands trembling at thy Stroke, And at thy Touch the Mountains smoke; Yet humble Souls may see thy Face, And tell their Wants to sov'reign grace. 27 In Thee my Hopes and wishes meet, And make my Meditations sweet; Thy Praises shall my Breath employ, Till it expire in endless Joy. 28 While haughty Sinners die accurst, Their Glory bury'd with their Dust, I to my GOD, my heav'nly King, Immortal Hallelujahs sing. Topics: God his Creation and Provdence; Praise for creation and providence; Providence in Air, Earth and Sea; Works of creation and providence Scripture: Psalm 104

Profession of Sincerity, Repentance and Obedience

Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: Thou art my Portion, O my GOD Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Portion, O my GOD; Soon as I know thy Way, My Heart makes Haste t'obey thy word, And suffers no Delay. 2 I choose the Path of Heav'nly Truth, And glory in my Choice; Not all the Riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The Testimonies of thy Grace I set before my Eyes; Thence I derive my daily Strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 If once I wander from thy Path, I think upon my Ways, Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning Grace. 5 Now I am thine, for ever thine, O save thy Servant, Lord; Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place; My Hope is in thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this Heart of mine Thy Statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal Life shall end, Would I perform thy Will.

Appears in 386 hymnals First Line: O that the Lord would guide my Ways Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my Ways To keep his Statutes still! O that my God would grant me Grace To know and do his Will! 2 O send thy Spirit down to write Thy Law upon my Heart! Nor let my Tongue indulge Deceit, Nor act the Liar's Part. 3 From Vanity turn off my Eyes; Let no corrupt Design, Nor covetous Desires, arise Within this Soul of mine. 4 Order my Footsteps by thy Word, And make my Heart sincere; Let Sin have no Dominion, Lord, But keep my Conscience clear. 5 My Soul hath gone too far astray, My Feet too often slip; Yet since I've not forgot thy Way, Restore thy wand'ring Sheep. 6 Make me to walk in thy Commands, 'Tis a delightful Road; Nor let my Head, or Heart, or Hands, Offend against my GOD. Topics: Comfort Holiness and Pardon; Counsel and Support from God; Delight in Law of God; Desire of holiness; Holiness desired Scripture: Psalm 119:5

GOD is every where

Appears in 251 hymnals First Line: In all my vast Concerns with Thee Lyrics: 1 In all my vast Concerns with Thee, In vain my Soul would try To shun thy Presence, Lord, or flee The Notice of thine Eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding Sight surveys My Rising and my Rest, My public Walks, my private Ways, And Secrets of my Breast. 3 My Thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they're form'd within; And e'er my Lips pronounce the Word He knows the Sense I mean. 4 O wond'rous Knowledge, deep and High! Where can a Creature hide? Within thy circling Arms I lye, Beset on ev'ry Side. 5 So let thy Grace surround me still, And like a Bulwark prove, To guard my Soul from ev'ry Ill, Secur'd by sov'reign Love. Pause 6 Lord, where shall guilty Souls retire, forgotten and unknown? In Hell they meet thy dreadful Fire, In Heav'n thy glorious Throne. 7 Should I suppress my vital Breath, To 'scape the Wrath Divine, Thy Voice would break the Bars of Death, And make the Grave resign. 8 If wing'd with Beams of Morning Light, I fly beyond the West, Thy Hand, which must support my Flight, Would soon betray my Rest. 9 If o'er my Sins I think to draw The Curtains of the Night, Those flaming Eyes that guard thy Law Would turn the Shades to Light. 10 The Beams of Noon, the Midnight Hour Are both alike to Thee; O may I ne'er provoke that Pow'r From which I cannot flee.
