God in the great Assembly stands

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXXXII (1760) Lyrics: 1 God in the great Assembly stands, where his impartial Eye In State surveys the earthen Gods, and does their Judgments try. 2,3 How dare ye then unjustly judge, or be to Sinners kind? Defend the Orphans, and the Poor: let such your Justice find. 4 Protect the humble helpless Man, reduc'd to deep Distress, And let not him become a Prey to such as would oppress. 5 They neither know, nor will they learn, but blindly rove and stray: Justice and Truth, the World's Support thro' all the Land decay. 6 Well then might God in Anger say, "I've call'd ye by my Name: "I've said y'are God's, the Sons and Heirs "of my immortal Fame: 7 "But ne'ertheless your unjust Deeds "to strict Account I'll call: "You all shall die like common Men, "like other Tyrants fall." 8 Arise, and thy just Judgments, Lord, throughout the Earth display; And all the Nations of the world shall own thy righteous Sway. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English

God is our Refuge in Distress

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XLVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge in Distress, A present Help, when Dangers press; In Him, undaunted, we'll confide; 2,3 Tho' Earth were from her Centre toss'd, And Mountains in the Ocean lost, Torn piece-meal by the roaring Tide. 4 A gentler Stream with Gladness still The City of our Lord shall fill, The Royal Seat of God most high; 5 God dwells in Sion, whose fair Tow'rs Shall mock th' Assaults of earthly Pow'rs, While his Almighty Aid is nigh. 6 In Tumults when the Heathen rag'd, And Kingdoms War against us wag'd, He thunder'd, and dispers'd their Pow'rs: 7 The Lord of Hosts conducts our Arms, Our Tow'r of Refuge in Alarms, Our Fathers guardian God, and ours. 8 Come see the Wonders He has wrought, On Earth what Desolation brought; 9 How He has calm'd the jarring World: He broke the warlike Spear and Bow; With them their thund'ring Chariots too Into devouring Flames when hurl'd. 10 Submit to God's almighty Sway, For Him the Heathen shall obey, And Earth her Sov'reign Lord confess: 11 The God of Hosts conducts our Arms, Our Tow'r of Refuge in Alarms, As to our Fathers in Distress. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English

God's Temple crowns the holy Mount

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXXXVII (1760) Lyrics: 1 God's Temple crowns the holy Mount; The Lord there condescends to dwell: 2 His Sion's Gates in his Account, Our Isr'el's fairest Tents excel. 3 Fame glorious Things of Thee shall sing, O City of th' almighty King! 4 I'll mention Rahab with due Praise, In Babylon's Applauses join, The Fame of Ethiopia raise, With that of Tyre and Palestine; And grant that some, amongst them born, Their Age and Country did adorn. 5 But still of Sion I'll aver, That many such from her proceed; Th' Almighty shall establish her. 6 His gen'ral Lift shall shew , when read, That such a Person there was born, And such did such an Age adorn. 7 He'll Sion find with Numbers fill'd Of such as merit high Renown; For Hand and Voice Musicians skill'd, And (her transcending Fame to crown) Of such she shall Successions bring Like Waters from a living Spring. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English

Had I the Tongues of Greeks and Jews

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLX (1760) Lyrics: 1 Had I the Tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler Speech that Angels use, If Love be absent, I am found Like tinkling brass, an empty Sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in Heav'n and Hell, Or could my Faith the World remove, Still I am nothing without Love. 3 Should I distribute all my Store To feed the Bowels of the Poor, Or give my Body to the Flame, To gain a Martyr's glorious Name. 4 If Love to God and Love to Men Be absent, all my Hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor Gifts, nor fiery Zeal, The Work of Love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English

Had not the Lord (may Isr'el say)

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXXIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord (may Isr'el say) been pleas'd to interpose, 2 Had He not then espous'd our Cause, when Men against us rose, 3,4,5 Their Wrath had swallow'd us alive, and rag'd without Controul; Their Spite and Pride's united Floods had quite o'erwhelm'd our Soul. 6 But prais'd be our eternal Lord, who rescu'd us that Day, Nor to their savage Jaws gave up our threat'ned Lives a Prey. 7 Our Soul is like a Bird escap'd from out the Fowler's Net; The Snare is broke, their Hopes are cross'd, and we at Freedom set. 8 Secure is his almighty Name, our Confidence remains, Who, as He made both Heav'n and Earth, of both sole Monarch reigns. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English

Happy the Man, whose tender Care

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XLI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Happy the Man, whose tender Care relieves the Poor distress'd! When he's by Troubles compass'd round, the Lord shall give him Rest. 2 The Lord his Life, with Blessings crown'd, in Safety shall prolong; And disappoint the Will of those that seek to do him Wrong. 3 If he in languishing Estate, oppress'd with Sickness, lie; The Lord will easy make his Bed, and inward Strength supply. 4 Secure of this, to Thee, my God, I thus my Pray'r address'd: "Lord, for thy Mercy, heal my Soul, "tho' I have much trasgress'd." 5 My cruel Foes, with sland'rous Words, attempt to wound my Fame: "When shall he die (say they,) and Men "forget his very Name?" 6 Suppose they formal Visits make, 'tis all but empty Show: They gather Mischief in their Hearts, and vent it where they go. 7,8 With private Whispers, such as these, to hurt me they devise: "A sore Disease afflicts him now; "he's fall'n, no more to rise." 9 My own familiar Bosom-friend, on whom I most rely'd, Has me, whose daily Guest he was, with open Scorn defy'd. 10 But thou my sad and wretched State, in Mercy, Lord, regard; And raise me up, that all their Crimes may meet their just Reward. 11 By this I know, thy gracious Ear is open when I call; Because Thou suffer'st not my Foes to triumph in my Fall. 12 Thy tender Care secures my Life from Danger and Disgrace; And Thou vouchsaf'st to set me still before thy glorious Face. 13 Let therefore Israel's Lord and God from Ages to Age be blest; And all the People's glad Applause with loud Amens express'd.

Hark! from the Tombs a doleful Sound

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLXVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Hark! from the Tombs a doleful Sound, my Ears, attend the Cry, "Ye living Men come view the Ground, "where you must shortly lie. 2 "Princes, this Clay must be your Bed, "in spight of all your Tow'rs; "The tall, the wise, the rev'rend Head "must lie as low as ours. 3 Great God! is this our certain Doom? and are we still secure? Still walking downward to our Tomb, and yet prepare no more? 4 Grant us the Pow'rs of quick'ning Grace, to fit our Souls to fly, Then when we drop this dying Flesh, we'll rise above the Sky.

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Have Mercy, Lord, on me, as Thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppress'd with Loads of Guilt, thy wonted Mercy find. 2,3 Wash off my foul Offence, and cleanse me from my Sin; For I confess my Crime, and see how great my Guilt has been. 4 Against Thee, Lord, alone, and only in thy Sight, Have I transgress'd; and tho' condemn'd must own thy Judgments right. 5 In Guilt each Part was form'd of all this sinful Frame; In Guilt I was conceiv'd, and born the Heir of Sin and Shame. 6 Yet Thou, whose searching Eye does inward Truth require, In secret didst with Wisdom's Laws my tender Soul inspire. 7 With Hyssop purge me Lord; and so I clean shall be: I shall with Snow in whiteness vie, when purify'd by Thee. 8 Make me to hear with Joy thy kind forgiving Voice; That so the Bones which Thou hast broke, may with fresh Strength rejoice. 9,10 Blot our my crying Sins, nor me in Anger view; Create in me a Heart that's clean, an upright Mind renew. Part II 11 Withdraw not Thou thy Help, nor cast me from thy Sight; Nor let thy Holy Spirit take its everlasting Flight. 12 The Joy thy Favour gives, let me again obtain; And thy free Spirit's firm Support My fainting Soul sustain. 13 So I thy righteous Ways to Sinners will impart; Whilst my Advice shall wicked Men to thy just Laws convert. 14 My Guilt of Blood remove, my Saviour and my God; And my glad Tongue shall loudly tell thy righteous Acts abroad. 15 Do Thou unlock my Lips, with Sorrow clos'd, and Shame: So shall my Mouth thy wond'rous Praise to all the World proclaim. 16 Could Sacrifice atone, whole Flocks and Herds should die; But on such Off'rings Thou disdain'st to cast a gracious eye. 17 A broken Spirit is by God most highly priz'd; By Him a broken contrite Heart shall never be despis'd. 18 Let Sion, Favour find, of thy Good-will assur'd; And thy own city flourish long, by lofty Walls secur'd. 19 The Just shall then attend, and pleasing Tribute pay; And Sacrifice of choicest Kind, upon thy Altar lay. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

He that has God his Guardian made

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XCI (1760) Lyrics: 1 He that has God his Guardian made, Shall, under the Almighty's Shade Secure and undisturb'd abide. 2 Thus to my Soul of Him I'll say, He is my Fortress and my Stay, My God in whom I will confide. 3 His tender Love and watchful Care Shall free thee from the Fowler's Snare, And from the noisome Pestilence: 4 He over thee his Wings shall spread, And cover thy unguarded Head; His Truth shall be thy strong Defence. 5 No Terrors that surprize by Night, Shall thy undaunted Courage fright, Nor deadly Shafts that fly by Day; 6 Nor Plague, of unknown Rise, that kills In Darkness, nor infectious Ills That in the hottest Season slay. 7 A Thousand at thy Side shall die, At thy right Hand ten thousand lie, While thy firm Health untouch'd remains: 8 Thou only shalt look on and see The Wicked's sad Catastrophe, And count the sinner's mournful Gains. 9 Because (with well-plac'd Confidence) Thou mak'st the Lord thy sure Defence, And on the Highest do'st rely; 10 Therefore no Ill shall thee befal, Nor to thy healthful Dwelling shall Any infectious Plague draw nigh. 11 For he throughout thy happy Days, To keep thee safe in all thy Ways, Shall give his Angels strict Commands; 12 And they, lest thou should'st chance to meet With some rough Stone to wound thy Feet, Shall bear thee safely in their Hands. 13 Dragons and Asps that thirst for Blood, And Lions roaring for their Food, Beneath his conqu'ring Feet shall lie. 14 Because he lov'd and honour'd Me, Therefore (says God) I'll set him free, And fix his glorious Throne on high. 15 He'll call; I'll answer when he calls, And rescue him when Ill befals; Increase his Honour and his Wealth: 16 And when, with undistrub'd Content, His long and happy Life is spent, His End I'll crown with saving Health. Scripture: Psalm 91 Languages: English
