The Lightning of his Spear? 4 He rides upon the winged Wind, And Angels in Array In Millions wait to know his Mind, And swift as Flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce Rebuke Whole Armies are dismay'd; His Voice, his Frown, his angry Look, Strikes all their Courage dead. 6 He forms our Gen'rals for the Field, With all their dreadful Skill; Gives them his awful Sword to wield, And makes their Hearts of Steel. 7 [He arms our Captains to the fight, (Tho' there his Name's forgot) He girded Cyrus with his Might, But Cyrus knew him not. 8 Oft has the Lord whole Nations blest, For his own Church's Sake; The Pow'rs that give his People Rest, Shall of his Care partake.] Topics: Defense and Salvation in God; Delight and Safety in Church; Deliverance from despair; Deliverance from Temptations; Enemies overcome; Evidence of Sincerity; Obedience sincere; Praise for Temptaions overcome; Praise for victory in war; Psalm for soldiers; Salvation and triumph; Sincerity proved and rewarded; Spiritual Enemies overcome; Temptations overcome; Triumph for salvation; Victory over temporal enemies; Victory over temptations; War spiritual; War victory Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English

And all thy Judgments just; For ever sure thy Promise, Lord, And Men securely trust. 4 My gracious GOD, how plain Are thy Directions giv'n! O may I never read in vain, But find the Path to Heav'n. Pause. 5 I hear thy Word with Love, And I would fain obey; Send thy good Spirit from above To guide me, lest I stray. 6 O who can ever find The Errors of his Ways? Yet with a bold, presumptuous Mind I would not dare transgress. 7 Warn me of ev'ry Sin, Forgive my secret Faults, And cleanse this guilty Soul of mine, Whose Crimes exceed my Thoughts. 8 While with my Heart and Tongue I spread thy Praise abroad; Accept the Worship and the Song, My Saviour and my GOD.

Thy Precepts guide my doubtful Way, Thy Fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy Promise leads my Heart to Rest. 6 From the Discov'ries of thy Law The perfect Rules of Life I draw; These are my Study and Delight: Not Honey so invites the Taste, Nor Gold that hath the Furnace past Appears so pleasing to the Sight. 7 Thy Threat'nings wake my slumb'ring Eyes, And warn me where my Danger lies; But 'tis thy blessed Gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty Conscience clean, Converts my Soul, subdues my Sin, And gives a free, but large Reward. 8 Who knows the Errors of his Thoughts? My GOD, forgive my secret Faults, And from presumptuous Sins restrain; Accept my poor Attempts of Praise, That I have read thy Book of Grace, And Book of Nature not in vain.

Our Foes shall fall and die with Shame, Or quit the Field with shameful flight.] 7 Now save us, Lord, from slavish Fear, Now let our Hope be firm and strong, Till the Salvation shall appear, And Joy and Triumph raise the Song.

Lord, thou hast rais'd his Kingdom high, And giv'n the World to his Command. 3 Thy Goodness grants whate'er he will, Nor doth the least Request with-hold; Blessings of Love prevent him still, And Crowns of Glory, not of Gold. 4 Honour and Majesty divine Around his sacred Temple shine; Blest with the Favour of thy Face, And Length of everlasting Days. 5 Thine Hand shall find out all his Foes; And as a fiery Oven glows With raging Heat and living Coals, So shall thy Wrath devour their Souls.

The Sufferings and Death of Christ

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #40b (1740) First Line: Why has my God my Soul forsook Lyrics: 1 Why has my God my Soul forsook, Nor will a Smile afford? (Thus David once in Anguish spoke, And thus our dying Lord.) 2 Though 'tis thy chief Delight to dwell Among thy praising Saints, Yet thou canst hear a Groan as well, And pity our Complaints. 3 Our fathers trusted in thy Name, And great Deliv'rance found; But I'm a Worm despis'd of Men, And trodden to the Ground. 4 Shaking the Head they pass me by, And laugh my Soul to Scorn; "In vain he trusts in God, they cry, "Neglected and forlorn." 5 But thou art He who form'd my Flesh By thine Almighty Word, And since I hung upon the Breast, My Hope is in the Lord. 6 Why will my Father hide his Face When Foes stand threat'ning round In the dark Hour of deep Distress, And not an Helper found? Pause. 7 Behold thy Darling left among The Cruel and the Proud, As Bulls of Bashan fierce and strong, As Lions roaring loud. 8 From Earth and Hell my Sorrows meet To multiply the Smart; They nail my Hands, they pierce my Feet, And try to vex my Heart. 9 Yet if thy Sov'reign Hand let loose The Rage of Earth and Hell, Why will my heav'nly Father bruise The Son he loves so well? 10 My GOD, if possible it be, With-hold this bitter Cup: But I resign my Will to Thee, And drink the Sorrows up. 11 My Heart dissolves with Pangs unknown, In Groans I waste my Breath; Thy heavy Hand has brought me down Low as the Dust of Death. 12 Father, I give my Spirit up, And trust it in thy Hand; My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope, And rise at thy Command.
