The praises of my tongue

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HVIII (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: The praises of my tongue I offer to the Lord, That I was taught and learnt so young To read his holy Word. 40 That I am taught to know The danger I was in; By nature, and by practice too, A wretched slave to sin. That I am led to see I can do nothing well; And whither shall a sinner flee, To save himself from hell? Dear Lord, this book of thine Informs me where to go, For grace to pardon all my sin, And make me holy too. 41 Here I can read and learn How Christ, the Son of God, Did undertake our great concern; Our ransom cost his blood. And now he reigns above, He sends his Spirit down, To show the wonders of his love, And make his Gospel known. O may that Spirit teach, And make my heart receive Those truths which all thy servants preach, And all thy saints believe. 42 Then shall I praise the Lord In a more cheerful strain, That I was taught to read his Word, And have not learnt in vain.

There is beyond the sky

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HXI (1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: There is beyond the sky A heaven of joy and love; And holy children, when they die, Go to that world above. 48 There is a dreadful hell, And everlasting pains: There sinners must with devils dwell In darkness, fire, and chains. Can such a wretch as I Escape this cursed end? And may I hope, whene’er I die, I shall to heaven ascend? Then will I read and pray, While I have life and breath, Lest I should be cut off to–day, And sent t’ eternal death. Languages: English

Psalm 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.2 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The man is ever blessed Lyrics: The man is ever blessed Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place; But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day, And watches of the night. He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live; His works are heav'nly fruit. Not so th' ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff Before the driving wind.

Psalm 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.4 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Maker and sovereign Lord Lyrics: [Maker and sovereign Lord Of heav'n, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms thy word, And answers thy decrees. The things so long foretold By David are fulfilled, When Jews and Gentiles joined to slay Jesus, thine holy child.] Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord, Bend all their counsels to destroy Th' Anointed of the Lord? Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite, Against his Christ they join. The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath raised him from the dead Hath owned him for his Son. Now he's ascended high, And asks to rule the earth The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly birth. He asks, and God bestows A large inheritance; Far as the world's remotest ends His kingdom shall advance. The nations that rebel Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honors well Which he received from God. [Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; With trembling joy, ye people, bow To God's exalted Son. If once his wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies For refuge to his grace.] Topics: Christ exalted to the kingdom; Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom; Gentiles given to Christ; Resurrection and death of Christ; Submission to Christ; Sufferings and kingdom of Christ Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

Lord, what is worthless man, That thou shouldst love him so? Next to thine angels is he placed, And lord of all below.
