Psalm 103 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 467 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18 First Line: My soul, repeat his praise Lyrics: My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great, Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. God will not always chide; And when his strokes are felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. High as the heav'ns are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. His power subdues our sins, And his forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. The pity of the Lord, To those that fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. He knows we are but dust, Scattered with every breath; His anger, like a rising wind, Can send us swift to death. Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field It withers in an hour. But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103 First Line: O thou my soul, bless God the Lord Lyrics: 1O thou my soul, bless God the Lord; and all that in me is Be stirred up his holy name to magnify and bless. 2Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God, and not forgetful be Of all his gracious benefits he hath bestow’d on thee. 3All thine iniquities who doth most graciously forgive: Who thy diseases all and pains doth heal, and thee relieve. 4Who doth redeem thy life, that thou to death may’st not go down; Who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown: 5Who with abundance of good things doth satisfy thy mouth; So that, ev’n as the eagle’s age, renewed is thy youth. 6God righteous judgment executes for all oppressed ones. 7His ways to Moses, he his acts made known to Isr’el’s sons. 8The Lord our God is merciful, and he is gracious, Long-suffering, and slow to wrath, in mercy plenteous. 9He will not chide continually, nor keep his anger still. 10With us he dealt not as we sinn’d, nor did requite our ill. 11For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are: 12As far as east is distant from the west, so far hath he From us removed, in his love, all our iniquity. 13Such pity as a father hath unto his children dear; Like pity shews the Lord to such as worship him in fear. 14For he remembers we are dust, and he our frame well knows. 15Frail man, his days are like the grass, as flow’r in field he grows: 16For over it the wind doth pass, and it away is gone; And of the place where once it was it shall no more be known. 17But unto them that do him fear God’s mercy never ends; And to their children’s children still his righteousness extends: 18To such as keep his covenant, and mindful are alway Of his most just commandements, that they may them obey. 19The Lord prepared hath his throne in heavens firm to stand; And ev’ry thing that being hath his kingdom doth command. 20O ye his angels, that excel in strength, bless ye the Lord; Ye who obey what he commands, and hearken to his word. 21O bless and magnify the Lord, ye glorious hosts of his; Ye ministers, that do fulfil whate’er his pleasure is. 22O bless the Lord, all ye his works, wherewith the world is stor’d In his dominions ev’ry where. My soul, bless thou the Lord.

Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favors claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot? 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom, and forgives The hourly follies of our lives. The vices of the mind he heals, And cures the pains that nature feels Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat'ning graves. Our youth decayed, his power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav'nly food. He sees th' oppressor and th' oppressed, And often gives the suff'rers rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day. [His power he showed by Moses' hands, And gave to Isr'el his commands; But sent his truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son. Let the whole earth his power confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine.] Topics: Goodness of God; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Mercies common and special; Afflictions gentle; Angels praise the Lord; Compassion of God; God goodness and mercy; God his universal dominion; Mercies spiritual and temporal

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 903 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:12 Lyrics: 1. There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. 2. There's a welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. 3. But we make His love too narrow By false limits of our own; And we magnify His strictness With a zeal He will not own. 4. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of one's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 5. If our love were but more simple, We could take Him at His word; And our lives would be more loving In the likeness of our Lord. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY
