God in His Earthly Temple Lays

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God in His earthly temple lays Foundations for His heav’nly praise: He likes the tents of Jacob well, But still in Sion loves to dwell. 2. His mercy visits every house That pay their night and morning vows; But makes a more delightful stay Where churches meet to praise and pray. 3. What glories are described of old! What wonders are of Sion told! Thou city of our God below, Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. 4. Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jews, Shall there begin their lives anew; Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring. 5. When God makes up His last account Of natives in His holy mount, ’Twill be an honor to appear As one new-born or nourished there! Used With Tune: CRIMEA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Let Sion in Her King Rejoice

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let Sion in her king rejoice; Though tyrants rage, and kingdoms rise, He utters His almighty voice, The nations melt, the tumult dies. 2 The Lord of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob’s God is still our aid: Behold the works His hand has wrought, What desolations He has made! 3 From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease; When from on high His thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace. 4 He breaks the bow, He cuts the spear, Chariots He burns with heav’nly flame; Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of His name. 5 Be still, and learn that I am God; I’ll be exalted o’er the lands; I will be known and feared abroad; But still My throne in Sion stands. 6 O Lord of hosts, almighty King, While we so near Thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell.

O God, Who Metest in Thy Hand

Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: O God, who metest in Thine hand Lyrics: 1. O God, who metest in Thine hand The waters of the mighty sea, And barrest ocean with the sand By Thy perpetual decree: 2. What time the floods lift up their voice And break in anger on the shore, When deep to deep calls with the noise Of waterspouts and billows’ roar; 3. When they who to the sea go down, And in the waters ply their toil, Are lifted on the surge’s crown, And plunged where seething eddies boil; 4. Rule then, O Lord, the ocean’s wrath, And bind the tempest with Thy will; Tread, as of old, the water’s path And speak Thy bidding, Peace, be still. 5. So with Thy mercies ever new Thy servants set from peril free, And bring them, Pilot wise and true, Within the port where they would be. Used With Tune: CRIMEA Text Sources: People's Hymnal, 1867

How Vainly Strive Ungodly Foes

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 How vainly strive ungodly foes Christ’s growing empire to restrain! And with presumptuous scorn oppose The Gospel’s everlasting reign! 2 The Lord on His eternal throne Derides their impotent designs; His word is sure—Thou art My Son In whom My perfect image shines. 3 Earth’s utmost bounds shall own Thy sway, And ransomed heathen bow the knee; While overwhelming wrath shall slay The foes that will not worship Thee. 4 Lord, let our trust in Him be placed Who reigns and intercedes above; That we with trembling joy may taste The blessing of a Savior’s love.

The Lord of Hosts, Th' Almighty Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Lord of hosts, th’almighty Lord Lyrics: 1 The Lord of hosts, th’almighty Lord, Shall punish in that vengeful day, Shall with His Spirit’s two-edged sword The piercing, crooked serpent slay. 2 Leviathan, that subtle fiend, That soul-insinuating foe, Jesus shall make his malice end, And root out all our sins below. 3 Jesus shall make us free indeed, Redeem from all iniquity, And crush the hellish serpent’s head, And slay the dragon in the sea. 4 The sea is calmed, the troubled soul, In which he did his pastime take; The sinner now by faith made whole, Can never more his God forsake. 5 Sing to the Church in that glad day, (The Church is joined to those above, When all their sins are washed away, And they are perfect made in love: 6 Partakers of the life divine, When grace the full salvation brings) Sing ye, a vineyard of red wine, A vineyard for the King of kings! 7 “I keep it, I th’almighty Lord, My Spirit every moment pour, Descends the water and the Word, The gracious never-ceasing shower. 8 “I water it with heav’nly dew, Satan and sin I chase away, I water it, and keep it, too, I watch My vineyard night and day. 9 “Fury is not in Me; to all To all My mercies freely move: Who would resist My gracious call, Or spurn the bowels of My love? 10 “Who against Me would madly dare To set the thorns and briers in fight? Through all I would My passage tear, And trample on their feeble might. 11 “The soul that will not taste My love Shall perish by My righteous ire, My vengeful indignation prove, And feel Me a consuming fire. 12 “But rather let Him freely take A power from Me to turn and live; Peace with his God he then shall make, And Christ into his heart receive. 13 “My Son from all, who come to Him, Shall every spot of of sin remove, From all iniquity redeem, And root and ’stablish them in love. 14 “Grafted in Him, they all shall share The life, and fatness of the root, And every holy temper bear, And fill the world with golden fruit. 15 The trees of righteousness shall rise, Watered each moment from above, And bear the fruits of paradise, The glorious fruits of perfect love.
