The Disappointment of the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #97a (1790) Scripture: Psalm 52 First Line: Why should the mighty make their boast Lyrics: 1 Why should the mighty make their boast,
And heavenly grace despise?
In their own arm they put their trust,
And fill their mouth with lies.
2 But God in vengeance shall destroy,
And drive them from his face;
No more shall they his church annoy,
Nor find on earth a place.
3 But like a cultur'd olive grove,
Dress'd in immortal green,
Thy children, blooming in thy love,
Amid thy courts are seen.
4 On thine eternal grace, O Lord,
Thy saints shall rest secure,
And all, who trust thy holy word,
Shall find salvation sure. Languages: English

Rejoice in God's Saints
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #732 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Scripture: Psalm 52:9 First Line: Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer,
their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share.
2 Some march with events to turn them God's way;
some need to withdraw, the better to pray;
some carry the gospel through fire and through flood:
our world is their parish; their purpose is God.
3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown,
who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own;
they share our complaining, our comforts, our cares:
what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs!
4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days!
A world without saints forgets how to praise.
In loving, in living, they prove it is true:
their way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Topics: Christian Year All Saints; Community in Christ; Discipleship and Mission Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 104TH

The folly of self-dependence
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #LIIb (1785) Scripture: Psalm 52 First Line: Why should the haughty hero boast Lyrics: 1 Why should the haughty hero boast,
His vengeful arm, his warlike host?
While blood defiles his cruel hand,
And desolation wastes the land.
2 He joys to hear the captive's cry,
The widow's groan, the orphan's sigh;
And when the wearied sword would spare,
His falsehood spreads the fatal snare.
3 He triumphs in the deeds of wrong,
And arms with rage his impious tongue;
With pride proclaims his dreadful power,
And bids the trembling world adore.
4 But God beholds, and with a frown,
Casts to the dust his honours down;
The righteous freed their hopes recall,
And hail the proud oppressors fall.
5 How low th' insulting tyrant lies,
Who dared th' eternal power despise;
And vainly deem'd with envious joy,
His arm almighty to destroy.
6 We praise the Lord, who heard our cries,
And sent salvation from the skies;
The saints, who saw our mournful days,
Shall join our grateful songs of praise. Languages: English

His arm Almighty to destroy.

And heav'nly grace despise;

Thy children blooming in thy love,
Amid thy courts are seen.

Our souls shall rest secure;
And all who trust thy holy word,
Shall find salvation sure. Languages: English
