In Vision to His Saints God Spake
Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake;
From out the people one I take,
A mighty leader, true and brave,
Ordained, exalted, strong to save.
My chosen servant I appoint,
With holy oil his head anoint;
My hand with him shall still remain,
My arm his strength shall well sustain.
2 No enemy shall him affright,
His adversaries I will smite,
My faithfulness to him will prove,
And nevermore My grace remove.
Yea, he shall triumph in My Name,
And great shall be his power and fame,
From sea to sea his mighty hand
Shall hold dominion o'er the land.
3 Thou art my Father, he shall cry,
My God, my rock of refuge high;
My firstborn son shall he be owned,
Above the kings of earth enthroned.
For him My mercy shall endure,
My covenant made with him is sure;
His throne and race I will maintain
Forever, while the heavens remain.
4 Should sons of his My laws forsake,
My just commands and statues break,
Then, though My rod their sins reprove,
My mercy I will not remove.
Though they be chastened sore and tried,
My faithfulness shall yet abide;
My plighted word I will not break,
Nor change the promise that I spake.
5 My oath is steadfast, ever sure,
My servant's race shall still endure;
His throne forever firm shall stay
When sun and moon have passed away.
On Thy anointed wrath is poured
As if Thy covenant were abhorred;
Thou hast profaned his kingly crown,
His matchless strength is broken down.
6 He is reproached and spoiled of all,
His enemies upon him fall;
His beauty is consumed away,
Forgotten is his kingly sway.
Cut off in youth, his sacred name
Is covered now with deepest shame;
How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide?
Thy face forever wilt Thou hide?
7 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought;
Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to save
His soul from death, and from the grave?
Where are Thy mercies which of old
Where in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name.
8 I sing of mercies that endure
Forever builded firm and sure,
Of faithfulness that never dies,
Established changeless in the skies.
Blest be the Lord for evermore,
Whose promise stands from days of yore.
His word is faithful now as then;
Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

God Saved His People from Distress
O Give the Lord Whole-Hearted Praise
Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O give the Lord whole-hearted praise;
To Him thanksgiving I will bring;
With all His people I will raise
My voice and of His glory sing.
His saints delight to search and trace
His mighty works and wondrous ways;
Majestic glory, boundless grace
And righteousness His work displays.
2 The wondrous works that God has wrought
His people ever keep in mind,
His works with grace and mercy fraught,
Revealing that the Lord is kind.
God's promise shall forever stand,
He cares for those who trust His word;
Upon His saints His mighty hand
The wealth of nations has conferred.
3 His works are true and just indeed,
His precepts are forever sure;
In truth and righteousness decreed
They shall forevermore endure.
God's promise shall forever stand,
He cares for those who trust His word;
Upon His saints His mighty hand
The wealth of nations has conferred.
4 In rev'rence and in godly fear
Man finds the gate to wisdom's ways;
The wise His holy Name revere.
Thro' endless ages sound His praise.
From Him His saints' redemption came;
His covenant sure no change can know;
Let all revere His holy Name,
In heav'n above and earth below. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: VAN DER WERP Text Sources: U. P. Psalter, 1916
