Psalm 50: The mighty God, the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The mighty God, the Lord Lyrics: 1The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken, and did call The earth, from rising of the sun, to where he hath his fall. 2From out of Sion hill, which of excellency And beauty the perfection is, God shined gloriously. 3Our God shall surely come, keep silence shall not he: Before him fire shall waste, great storms shall round about him be. 4Unto the heavens clear he from above shall call, And to the earth likewise, that he may judge his people all. 5Together let my saints unto me gather’d be, Those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare: Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are. 7My people Isr’el hear, speak will I from on high, Against thee I will testify; God, ev’n thy God, am I. 8I for thy sacrifice no blame will on thee lay, Nor for burnt-off ‘rings, which to me thou offer’dst ev’ry day. 9I’ll take no calf nor goats from house or fold of thine: 10For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11The fowls on mountains high are all to me well known; Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, ev’n they are all mine own. 12Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee; Because the world, and fulness all thereof, belongs to me. 13Will I eat flesh of bulls? or goats’ blood drink will I? 14Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the most High. 15And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16But to the wicked man God saith, My laws and truth Should’st thou declare? how dar’st thou take my cov’nant in thy mouth? 17Sith thou instruction hat’st, which should thy ways direct; And sith my words behind thy back thou cast’st, and dost reject. 18When thou a thief didst see, with him thou didst consent; And with the vile adulterers partaker on thou went. 19Thou giv’st thy mouth to ill, thy tongue deceit doth frame; 20Thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st, thy mother’s son dost shame. 21Because I silence kept, while thou these things hast wrought; That I was altogether like thyself, hath been thy thought; Yet I will thee reprove, and set before thine eyes, In order ranked, thy misdeeds and thine iniquities. 22Now, ye that God forget, this carefully consider; Lest I in pieces tear you all, and none can you deliver. 23Whoso doth offer praise me glorifies; and I Will shew him God’s salvation, that orders right his way.

Psalm 50 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns Lyrics: The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns, Let hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their hope in rites and forms, But make not faith nor love their care. Vile wretches dare rehearse his name With lips of falsehood and deceit; A friend or brother they defame, And soothe and flatter those they hate. They watch to do their neighbors wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's face; They take his cov'nant on their tongue, But break his laws, abuse his grace. To heav'n they lift their hands unclean, Defiled with lust, defiled with blood; By night they practise every sin, By day their mouths draw near to God. And while his judgments long delay, They grow secure and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful hour. O dreadful hour! when God draws near And sets their crimes before their eyes! His wrath their guilty souls shall tear, And no deliv'rer dare to rise. Topics: Judgment day; Sinner and saint's portion; God the judge; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Sins of tongue; Formal worship; Obedience better than sacrifice; Professions false; Saints rewarded at last

Psalm 50

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: Irregular Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The Lord, the Sovereign, sends his summons forth Lyrics: The Lord, the Sovereign, sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations and awakes the north; From east to west the sounding orders spread, Through distant worlds and regions of the dead: No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more: behold the day! Behold, the Judge descends, his guards are nigh; Tempest and fire attend him down the sky: Heav'n, earth, and hell, draw near; let all things come To hear his justice, and the sinner's doom: "But gather first my saints," the Judge commands, "Bring them, ye angels, from their distant lands. "Behold, my cov'nant stands for ever good, Sealed by th' eternal Sacrifice in blood, And signed with all their names; the Greek, the Jew, That paid the ancient worship or the new, There's no distinction here; come, spread their thrones, And near me seat my fav'rites and my sons. "I, their Almighty Savior and their God, I am their Judge: ye heav'ns, proclaim abroad My just eternal sentence, and declare Those awful truths that sinners dread to hear: Sinners in Zion, tremble and retire; I doom the painted hypocrite to fire. "Not for the want of goats or bullocks slain Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain Without the flames of love; in vain the store Of brutal off'rings that were mine before; Mine are the tamer beasts and savage breed, Flocks, herds, and fields and forests where they feed. "If I were hungry, would I ask thee food? When did I thirst, or drink thy bullocks' blood? Can I be flattered with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatt'rings and fantastic vows? Are my eyes charmed thy vestments to behold, Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold? "Unthinking wretch! how couldst thou hope to please A God, a Spirit, with such toys as these, While, with my grace and statutes on thy tongue, Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong? In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends, Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends. "Silent I waited with long-suff'ring love, But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? And cherish such an impious thought within, That God, the Righteous, would indulge thy sin? Behold my terrors now: my thunders roll, And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul." Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful morning rise; Change your vain thoughts, your crooked works amend, Fly to the Savior, make the Judge your friend Lest, like a lion, his last vengeance tear Your trembling souls, and no deliv'rer near. Topics: Judgment day; Sinner and saint's portion; God the judge; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Sins of tongue; Formal worship; Obedience better than sacrifice; Professions false; Saints rewarded at last

"Can I be flatter'd with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatt'rings and fantastic vows? Are my eyes charmed thy vestments to behold, Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold?" God is the Judge of hearts, no fair disguises Can screen the guilty when his vengeance rises. "Unthinking wretch! how couldst thou hope to please A God, a Spirit, with such toys as these, While, with my grace and statutes on thy tongue, Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong?" Judgment proceeds; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. "In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends; Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends; While the false flatt'rer at my altar waits, His hardened soul divine instruction hates." God is the Judge of hearts, no fair disguises Can screen the guilty when his vengeance rises. "Silent I waited with long-suff'ring love; But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? And cherish such an impious thought within, That the All-Holy would indulge thy sin?" See, God appears; all nature joins t' adore him; Judgment proceeds, and sinners fall before him. "Behold my terrors now; my thunders roll, And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul; Now like a lion shall my vengeance tear Thy bleeding heart, and no deliv'rer near." Judgment concludes; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful morning rise; Change your vain thoughts, your crooked works amend, Fly to the Savior, make the Judge your friend: Then join the saints, wake every cheerful passion; When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation.

Psalm 50: Let God, Who Called the Worlds to Be

Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: Let God, who called the worlds to be Lyrics: 1 Let God, who called the worlds to be, arise in all-consuming fire to judge the people righteously, and faithless ones with awe inspire. 2 This God is ours, and yet we break the covenant made long ago. God’s words we foolishly forsake; God’s ways we have refused to know. 3 For though our lips have preached God’s law, our erring hearts have scorned the name. We choose the thief and slanderer as friends, and so increase our shame. 4 What then shall God the Lord demand? Not gifts or lavish offering, but vows and promises performed, and lives from which true praises spring! Topics: Confession and Assurance Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
