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.

A Song of Degrees

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord! from the deeps I cry to Thee! Lyrics: 1 LORD! from the deeps I cry to Thee! 2 My voice Lord do thou hear! 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

A Psalm for the Sons of Korah: Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord God, my saviour, day and night Lyrics: 1 Lord God, my saviour, day and night before Thee, loudly cry'd have I: 2 O let my pray'r before Thee come, And bend thine ear now to my cry. 3 Because my soul with trouble fill'd, My life approaches to the grave: 4 Counted with thine who to the pit, Are hasting, and no strength I have. 5 Yea as one free among the dead, Like to the slain in graves I lie; Whom by thy hand Thou hast cut off, And hast no more in memory. 6 Thou lay'st me in the lowest pit, In darkness as in deepest caves; 7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, and Thou Afflictest me with all thy waves. 8 My friends thou hast put far from me, And to them made me loathsom grow; And I'm in prison shut so fast, That forth from thence I cannot go. 9 Thro' my affliction great and long, Mine eye with mourning pines away: JEHOVAH, loud I call on Thee, And stretch my hands to Thee all day. [2 Part] 10 Shew wonders to the dead wilt Thou? Shall the dead rise and Thee confess? 11 Or does the grave thy kindness show, Destruction tell thy faithfulness? 12 In darkness are thy wonders known? Or are thy acts of righteousness, Remember'd or acknowleg'd in The land of deep forgetfulness. 13 But LORD to Thee aloud I cry, In early morning to Thee pray; 14 Why LORD dost cast my soul from Thee? Why from me hide thy face away? 15 I'm poor, afflicted, and to die, Am ready from my youthful years: Distracted and confus'd am I, While I endure thy horrid fears. 16 Thy fiery wrath goes over me; Thy terrors greatly me dismay; 17 As mighty floods encompass me, And rise all round me ev'ry day. 18 My lovers and my choicest friends, Thou hast from me removed far: And into darkness put away, Those who my dear acquaintance were. Scripture: Psalm 88

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

A Psalm of David: When he fled from the Face of Absalom his Son

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord, how my troublers multiply Lyrics: 1 Lord, how my troublers multiply? How many up against me rise? 2 Of my sad soul, how many say, "His GOD to him no help supplies." 3 Yet Thou, O LORD, my glory art, My shield, and raisest up my head. 4 I to JEHOVAH cry'd, who from His holy hill me answered. (Selah) 5 I lay down, slept, and then awak'd; For up JEHOVAH did me bear: 6 Tho' people round against me set, Ten thousands of them I'll not fear. 7 O LORD my God, to save me rise; For all my foes have felt thy stroke Upon their faces, and the teeth Of the ungodly Thou hast broke. 8 Salvation wholly to the LORD, Does and shall ever appertain; And on thy people evermore Thy blessing does and shall remain. Scripture: Psalm 3

A Psalm & Song at the Dedication of the House of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, I will thee extol on high Lyrics: 1 Lord, I will Thee extol on high, for Thou hast made me rise; And joyful hast not made to be o'er me mine enemies. 2 O LORD my God, I cry'd to Thee, and Thou hast made me whole, 3 JEHOVAH, Thou ev'n from the grave hast raised up my soul: Thou from the pit hast quick'ned me: 4 O sing ye to the LORD, Ye saints of his, give thanks when ye his holiness record. 5 For but a moment is his wrath; life in his love doth stay: Tho' weeping last thro' all the night, joy comes at break of day. 6 For in my prosp'rous state I said, "I ne'r shall moved be; 7 "Since, LORD my mountain by thy grace "is made so strong by Thee. 8 But quickly Thou thy face didst hide; I greatly was dismay'd" LORD then I call'd aloud on Thee, and to the LORD thus pray'd; 9 "What gain is my blood when I "into the pit go down? "Shall dust give glory then to Thee? "Shall it thy truth make known? 10 "Do Thou me, O JEHOVAH, hear; "and on me mercy have: To me, JEHOVAH, be Thou near, "an helper me to save!" 11 My mourning then into a dance For me Thou turned hast: With gladness Thou hast girded me, and off my sackcloth cast. 12 So shall my glory sing thy praise, and never silent be; O LORD my God, I will give thanks for evermore to Thee. Scripture: Psalm 30

A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, I'll thee praise, with all my heart Lyrics: 1 Lord I'll Thee praise with all my heart, thy wonders all proclaim. 2 O Thou most high, in Thee I'll joy, exult, and sing thy name. 3 My foes in turning backward fall, and perish at thy sight; For thou maintainest my just cause, enthron'd thou judgest right. 4 The heathen thou rebuked hast, the wicked overthrown; 5 Thou blottest out their name, that they may never more be known. 6 Thy desolations, O thou foe, are ended utterly; Who many cities hast destroy'd, and made their mem'ry die. 7 But now JEHOVAH ever shall endure and ever reign; His throne He hath established just judgment to maintain. 8 Yea, he the universal world shall judge in righteousness; And to all people judgment give in perfect uprightness. 9 A refuge high for the oppress'd JEHOVAH will become; He is to them a refuge safe in seasons troublesome. 10 And they who duly know thy name, in Thee their trust will place; Because Thou, LORD, hast never left the seekers of thy face. [2 Part] 11 O sing ye praises to the LORD, who does in Zion dwell; His wondrous doings all abroad among his people tell. 12 When He enquireth after blood he minds them carefully: Of those who meek and humble are he ne'r forgets the cry. 13 LORD, pity me, and weigh my grief which I from foes sustain; And from the op'ning gates of death O raise me up again. 14 That I in Zion's daughter's gates may shew forth all thy praise: And my triumphant shouts of joy in thy salvation, raise. 15 The heathen people are sunk down into the pit they made; their foot is taken in the net which secretly they laid. 16 By judgments which He executes more known JEHOVAH is; Ill men are caught in their own snares; deeply consider this. (Selah.) 17 Those who continue wicked, shall be turned down to hell; Where all the nations of the earth who GOD forget, shall dwell. 18 Thy needy, tho' destress'd a while, shall never be forgot; The expectations of thy poor, defer'd, yet perish not. 19 O let not wretched man prevail; but O JEHOVAH rise; The heathen people in thy fight let judged be likewise. 20 O thou JEHOVAH, strike them all with trembling fear; and then Thou wilt the nations make to know, they are but wretched men. (Selah.) Scripture: Psalm 9
