O God, to Whom Revenge Belongs
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O God, to whom revenge belongs,
Proclaim Thy wrath aloud;
Let sovereign power redress our wrongs,
Let justice smite the proud.
They say, The Lord nor sees nor hears:
When will the fools be wise?
Can He be deaf who formed their ears?
Or blind, who made their eyes?
2. He knows their impious thoughts are vain,
And they shall feel His power;
His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain
In some surprising hour.
But if Thy saints deserve rebuke,
Thou hast a gentler rod;
Thy providences and Thy book
Shall make them know their God.
3. Blessed is the man Thy hands chastise,
And to his duty draw;
Thy scourges make Thy children wise
When they forget Thy law.
But God will ne’er cast off His saints,
Nor His own promise break;
He pardons His inheritance
For their Redeemer’s sake. Used With Tune: MILLSPAUGH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
O God, to Whom Revenge Belongs
O Lord, Give Ear unto My Voice
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to Thee;
Upon me also mercy have,
and do Thou answer me.
When Thou didst say, Seek ye My face,
then unto Thee reply
Thus did my heart, above all things
Thy face, Lord, seek will I.
2. Far from me hide not Thou Thy face;
put not away from Thee
Thy servant in Thy wrath: Thou hast
a helper been to me.
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake:
Though me my parents both should leave,
the Lord will me up take.
3. O Lord, instruct me in Thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.
Give me not to mine enemies’ will;
for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
as breathe out cruelty.
4. I fainted had, unless that I
believèd had to see
The Lord’s own goodness in the land
of them that living be.
Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and He shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: MILLSPAUGH Text Sources: Scottish Metrical Psalter
O Lord, Give Ear unto My Voice
Backward With Humble Shame We Look
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble shame we look
On our original;
How is our nature dashed and broke
In our first father’s fall!
2 To all that’s good averse and blind,
But prone to all that’s ill;
What dreadful darkness veils our mind!
How obstinate our will!
3 Conceived in sin, O wretched state!
Before we draw our breath;
The first young pulse begins to beat
Iniquity and death.
4 How strong in our degenerate blood
The old corruption reigns,
And, mingling with the crooked flood,
Wanders through all our veins.
5 Wild and unwholesome as the root
Will all the branches be;
How can we hope for living fruit
From such a deadly tree?
6 What mortal power from things unclean
Can pure productions bring?
Who can command a vital stream
From an infected spring?
7 Yet, mighty God! Thy wondrous love
Can make our nature clean,
While Christ and grace prevail above
The tempter, death and sin.
8 The second Adam shall restore
The ruins of the first;
Hosannah to that sovereign power
That new-creates our dust! Used With Tune: MILLSPAUGH Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-09
