Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice of heav’n’s eternal Lord; men of Gomorrah! bend your ear submissive to his word. 2 ’Tis thus he speaks; To what intent are your oblations vain? Why load my altars with your gifts, polluted and profane? 3 Burnt-off’rings long may blaze to heav’n, and incense cloud the skies; the worship and the worshipper are hateful in my eyes. 4 Your rites, your fasts, your pray’rs, I scorn, and pomp of solemn days: I know your hearts are full of guile, and crooked are your ways. 5 But cleanse your hands, ye guilty race, and cease from deeds of sin; learn in your actions to be just, and pure in heart within. 6 Mock not my name with honours vain, but keep my holy laws; do justice to the friendless poor, and plead the widow’s cause. 7 Then though your guilty souls are stain'd with sins of crimson dye, yet, through my grace, with snow itself in whiteness they shall vie. Scripture: Isaiah 1:10-19 Used With Tune: SALISBURY

I in the Lord do put my trust

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I in the Lord do put my trust, how is it then that ye say to my soul, Even as a bird, unto your mountain flee? 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on string they fit, that those who upright are in heart they privily may hit. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what hath the righteous done? 4 God in his holy temple is, in heaven is his throne. His eyes behold, his eyelids try 5 men’s sons. The just he proves: but his soul hates the wicked man, and him that violence loves. 6 Snares, fire and brimstone, furious storms, on sinners he shall rain: 7 this, as the portion of their cup, doth unto them pertain. Because the Lord most righteous doth in righteousness delight; they shall his countenance behold who are in heart upright. Scripture: Psalm 11 Used With Tune: SALISBURY

Except the Lord do build the house

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord do build the house, the builders lose their pain: except the Lord the city keep, the watchmen watch in vain. 2 ’Tis vain for you to rise betimes, or late from rest to keep, to feed on sorrows’ bread; so gives he his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are God’s heritage, the womb’s fruit his reward. 4 The sons of youth as arrows are, for strong men’s hands prepared. 5 O happy is the man that hath his quiver filled with those; they unashamed in the gate shall speak unto their foes. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: SALISBURY
