Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #189 (1786) First Line: Give thanks to God, he reigns above Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, he reigns above, Kind are his thoughts, his name is love, His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Israel, the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes. 3 [When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They trac'd the desert wandering round; A wild and solitary ground! 4 There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fix'd abode; Nor food, nor fountain, to asswage Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.] 5 In their distress to God they cry'd God was their Saviour and their guide; He led their wandering march around. And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke, and satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land. 8 Oh let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Corrections for Sin, and release by Prayer

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #190 (1786) First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: 1 From age to age exalt his name, God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with every good. 2 But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heavenly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord: 3 He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliverance shall be found; Laden with grief they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries, He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. 5 He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling prisoners through Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the labouring soul relief. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #191a (1786) First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies From luxury and lust arise! 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste; Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sovereign word, and heals. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offering prove How they adore their Maker's love.

Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck; or, the Seamen's Song

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #191b (1786) First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, With the bold mariner, survey The unknown regions of the sea. 2 They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favour of the wind! 'Till God commands, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 3 Now to the heavens they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a staggering drunkard reel. 4 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to God they cry: His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. 5 He bids the winds their wrath assuage, And stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er, And hail with joy their native shore. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private offerings bring, And in the church his glory sing.

The Mariner's Psalm

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #192 (1786) First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, That rule the boisterous sea, The sons of courage shall record, Who tempt that dangerous way. 2 At thy commands the winds arise, And swell the towering waves! The men astonish'd mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. 3 [Again they climb the watery hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tottering drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with fluttering breath; And hopeless of the distant shore Expect immediate death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He hears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storms allay'd; Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 7 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. 8 Oh that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record.

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #193 (1786) First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the wither'd mountains green, Send showery blessings from the skies; And harvests in the desert rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' opprest and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in, A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barbarous hands. 6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns: Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] 8 The righteous with a joyful sense Admire the works of providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more, Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind.
