The Lord is just in all his ways
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 17 The Lord is just in all his ways,
holy in his works all.
18 He’s near to all that call on him,
in truth that on him call.
19 He will accomplish the desire
of those that do him fear:
he also will deliver them,
and he their cry will hear.
20 The Lord preserves all who him love,
that nought can them annoy:
but he all those that wicked are
will utterly destroy.
21 My mouth the praises of the Lord
shall constantly proclaim;
and let all flesh for ever give
praise to his holy name. Scripture: Psalm 145:17-21 Used With Tune: HUDDERSFIELD

What though no flow'rs the fig-tree clothe
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R32 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What though no flow’rs the fig-tree clothe,
though vines their fruit deny,
the labour of the olive fail,
and fields no meat supply?
2 Though from the fold, with sad surprise,
my flock cut off I see;
though famine pine in empty stalls,
where herds were wont to be?
3 Yet in the Lord will I be glad,
and glory in his love;
in him I’ll joy, who will the God
of my salvation prove.
4 He to my tardy feet shall lend
the swiftness of the roe;
till, rais'd on high, I safely dwell
beyond the reach of woe.
5 God is the treasure of my soul,
the source of lasting joy;
a joy which want shall not impair,
nor death itself destroy. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Languages: English Tune Title: HUDDERSFIELD
What though no flow'rs the fig-tree clothe
Against a wicked race, O God
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P43b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Against a wicked race, O God,
plead thou my cause, judge me;
from the unjust and crafty man
O do thou set me free.
2 For thou the God art of my strength;
why thrust me then away?
And for the oppression of the foe
why mourn I all the day?
3 O send thy light forth and thy truth;
let them be guides to me,
and bring me to thine holy hill,
even where thy dwellings be.
4 Then will I to God's altar go,
to God my chiefest joy:
yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
my harp I will employ.
5 Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
What should discourage thee?
And why with vexing thoughts art thou
disquieted in me?
Still trust in God; for him to praise
good cause I yet shall have:
he of my countenance is the health,
my God that doth me save. Scripture: Psalm 43 Languages: English Tune Title: HUDDERSFIELD

Martin Madan
1726 - 1790 Person Name: Madan Composer of "HUDDERSFIELD" in Methodist Tune Book Madan, Martin, son of Colonel Martin Madan, and brother of Dr. Spencer Madan, sometime Bishop of Peterborough, was born in 1726. He was to have qualified for the Bar, but through a sermon by J. Wesley on the words "Prepare to meet thy God," the whole current of his life was changed. After some difficulty he received Holy Orders, and subsequently founded and became chaplain of the Lock Hospital, Hyde Park Corner. He was popular as a preacher, and had no inconsiderable reputation as a musical composer. He ceased preaching on the publication of his work Thelyphthora, in which he advocated the practice of polygamy. He died in 1790. He published A Commentary on the Articles of the Church of England; A Treatise on the Christian Faith, &c, and:- A Collection of Psalms and Hymns Extracted from Various Authors, and published by the Reverend Mr. Madan. London, 1760.
This Collection contained 170 hymns thrown together without order or system of any kind. In 1763 he added an Appendix of 24 hymns. This Collection, referred to as Madam’s Psalms & Hymns, had for many years a most powerful influence on the hymnody of the Church of England. Nearly the whole of its contents, together with its extensively altered texts, were reprinted in numerous hymnbooks for nearly one hundred years. At the present time many of the great hymns of the last century are in use as altered by him in 1760 and 1763. Although several hymns have been attributed to him, we have no evidence that he ever wrote one. His hymnological labours were employed in altering, piecing, and expanding the work of others. And in this he was most successful.
