The Songs of the Prophet Isaiah: Chap. XXVI

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #323 (1742) Publication Date: 1742 Scripture: Isaiah 26 First Line: A city of exceeding strength Lyrics: 1 A city of exceeding strength Doth henceforth unto us belong, And the decreed salvation shall Like walls and bulwarks, keep it strong. 2 Set open then the city gates, That so the righteous nation That keeps the truth, may enter in, And of it take possession, 3 In perfect peace thou wilt him keep, Whose thoughtful mind is on thee staid, And that because his confidence On thee alone is ever laid. 4 Put then your trust upon the Lord Throughout eternal ages length: Because the Lord Jehovah is A rock of everlasting strength. 5 For he brought down high seated ones. The haughty city he laid low, He laid it level with the ground, And it into the dust did throw. 6 The feet of the afflicted man Triumphing trampled it upon, And it ly'th prostrate under foot, Foot of the poor and needy one. 7 Uprightness is the king's high-way, The very road the just do take: The path-way of the righteous man Thou dost for him most even make. 8 Moreover in thy judgment's way, Thee, Lord, we longing look'd to see; Our soul's desire was to thy name, And to the memory of thee. 9 In ev'ning and in morning pray'r My soul thee earnestly desir'd. Yea with my spirit in midst of me I day and night for thee inquir'd. For when thy judgments are display'd On earth, the world's inhabitants Will lay to heart thy righteous works, And learn the righteousness of saints. 10 Though for a wicked man there should Bowels of heav'nly pity yearn, Yet he the way of righteusness By no means will be brought to learn; In land of righteousness he will Still work perverse iniquity. He will not well conslder of Jehovah's glorious majesty. 11 Lord, when thine hand was lifted up In exaltation very high, Lest they should see thine hand, they did Perversely turn away their eye. But they with blushing shame shall see The zeal thou for thy people hast, And the consuming fire that shall Thine adversaries wholly waste. 12 Jehovah, thou for ever wilt Safety and peace for us ordain: For our affairs thou manage didst, And for us all our works maintain. 13 O Lord our God, thou only art Our Lord, yet others besides thee Have lorded it, and over us Have exercised tyranny. But notwithstanding henceforth we No other Lord save thee will take, And of no other name but thine, From this time will we mention make. 14 Those that opprest us now are dead, So dead that they shall live no more. Their ghosts from hence departed are, And none shall them to life restore. Because thou hast them visited, And them hast utterly destroy'd, For ever they are perished. And of all memory made void, 15 Jehovah thou the nation Hast very much increast, increast Hast thou the nation very much Thy glory is made manifest: That nation which thou hast remov'd, And far away didst send it forth, By dissipating it unto The utmost ends of all the earth. 16 O Lord, when they were in distress They did thee visit with their cries, And secret pray'r they poured out, When as thou diddest them chastize. 17 Like as a pregnant woman when Approaching child-birth comes apace Is pain'd, and in her pangs cries out, So were we, Lord, before thy face. 18 We have conceiv'd, and have been pain'd, Yet, as it were, have brought forth wind; The world's inhabitants fall not, On earth we no deliverance find. 29 Thy dead shall surely live again, With my dead body rise they must; Awake out of the sleep of death And sing ye who dwell in the dust: Because the dew that falls on thee Is like the dew that makes herbs grow And out from thence with violence The earth the Rephaims shall throw, 20 Come then my people enter in To chambers that most secret are, And after thee shut thou the doors, And fallen them with utmost care: There do thou hide thy self a-while, It shall but as a moment be, And all the indignation will Be wholly passed over thee. 21 Behold the Lord is coming forth Out of his habitation To punish their iniquity The earth's inhabitants upon. The earth shall then disclose and show The bloods in her lay buried, Her slain shall be expos'd to view, And be no longer covered. Languages: English

The Songs of the Prophet Isaiah: Chap. XXVI

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #327 (1742) Publication Date: 1742 Scripture: Isaiah 26 First Line: We have a city very strong Lyrics: 1 We have a city very strong; (The church of God is it) Salvation to it all along For walls and works he'l set. 2 Set open ye the gates, and then The righteous nation, who Do constantly the truth maintain, Shall enter thereinto. 3 In peace thou such an one, in peace Wilt ever have to be, Whose mind on thee intirely stays, Because he hopes in thee. 4 Repose in the Eternal now The hope of all your mind: For in the Lord Jehovah you A rock eternal find. 5 He brings down them who dwell on high Lays the proud city low, Twice low till ev'n with earth it lie; To dust that city throw. 6 It shall be trodden down; it shall By feet be trodden down; The feet of men, tho' poor and small Trod by the needy one. 7 Sure of the righteous one the way Is very righteousness: And thou, O righteous One, dost weigh Rightly each path of his. 8 In the way of thy judgments we On thee do wait and will; With souls thy name desiring, thee, Lord, to remember still. 9 By night I've thee desir'd, O God; My soul seeks early thee; Thy judgments being on earth abroad, Men justice then will see. 10 Shall favour on the wicked shine? Justice he will not learn: He'll in the land of judgment sin, God's glory not discern. 11 Lord, thy uplifted hand these men Won't see, but see they shall With shame they spite at thine; and then Thy foes fire burn them all. 12 A well-establis'd peace,0 Lord, Thou dost for us prepare; All our works for us we're assur'd, By thee produced are. 13 O Lord our God, strange lords on us Have had dominion: But now thy name we'll mention thus, Thy name by thee alone 14 They're gone, and shall not rise; they're dead To life returning not; Thy visit them destroy'd and made Their memory to rot. 15 The nation, Lord, increasing thou Cur nation dost increase; So thou art prais'd; and it unto AH parts extended is. 16 Lord thee they humbly visited In an afllicted hour; Chastened, an humble pray'r they did To thee in secret pour. 17 As she that is to travail near, In pains and pangs doth cry. In such a state, O Lord, we were; God saw it, God on high. 18 We have conceiv'd, and come to throws, Yet nothing's in the birth; Deliverance none in earth; and those Fall not who fill the earth. 19 Yet thy dead men must live and rise; So my dead body must Wake now and sing, whoever is Mine sleeping in the dust. A dew from heav'n does on thee come, Of springing plants a dew: The earth which doth the dead entomb, Shall yield dead not a few. 20 Come now into thy chambers; shut Thy doors about thee fall: Hide there a while my people: but A while, till wrath be past. 21 Lo from his place God comes again The world for sin to smite; Earth will her bloods reveal; her slain Earth will bring forth to light.

A City of exceeding strength

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #I.XXVI (1758) Publication Date: 1758 Scripture: Isaiah 26 Lyrics: 1 A City of exceeding strength Doth happily to us belong; And the decreed salvation shall Like walls and bulwarks keep it strong. 2 Set open then the city-gates, That so the righteous nation, who Immoveably maintains the truth, May gladly enter there into. 3 In perfect peace Thou such a one wilt ever surely case to be, Whose mind on Thee securely stays; Because he hopes alone on Thee. 4 Repose then ever in the LORD The lively hope of all your mind! Because in JAH, JEHOVAH, sure, A rock eternal ye shall find. 5 He'll bring down those who dwell on high, He'll lay the haughty city low, He'll lay it level with the ground, And down into the dust will throw. 6 The feet of the afflicted shall In triumph tread it wholly down; And it shall lie beneath the feet Of him that was a helpless one. [2 Part] 7 The way of ev'ry righteous man Is universal righteousness; And thou, O RIGHTEOUS ONE, dost weigh In righteousness each path of his. 8 Moreover in thy judgments way LORD, Thee we longing look to see; Our souls desire is to thy name, And to the memory of Thee. 9 In the dark seasons of the night, My soul Thee earnestly desires: My wakeful spirit in my breast For Thee at early dawn inquires, For when thy judgments are display'd On earth, the world's inhabitants Shou'd lay to heart thy righteous works, And learn the righteousness of saints. 10 Tho' for a wicked man there should Bowels of heav'nly pity yearn, Yet he the way of righteousness He'll work perverse iniquity; Nor will he ev'n so much as see JEHOVAH's glorious majesty. 11 LORD, when thine hand is lifted up, In thy most awful judgments, high; yet lest they see thine hand therein, Perversely they will shut their eye. but with confusion they shall see The zeal thou for thy people hast, And the consuming fire that shall Thine adversaries wholly waste. [3 Part] 12 JEHOVAH, certainly Thou wilt Safety and peace for us ordain: For our affairs Thou mange dost, And for us, all our works maintain. 13 O LORD our God, tho' other Lords Have reigned over us, we own; Yet hence, thy name we mention will, And by Thee none but thine alone. 14 They'r dead, and shall not live again; Deceas'd, and never shall arise; Thy judgments have destroy'd them quite, Yea caus'd that all their mem'ry dies. 15 The nation, LORD, increasest thou, Our nation greatly hast increas'd; And Thou hast glorify'd thy self, And thro' the earth dispers'd them hast. 16 o LORD, when they were in distress, They Thee then visited with cries; And pray'r in secret poured out, When Thou didst sorely them chastize. 17 Like as a pregnant woman when Approaching travail comes apace, Is pain'd, and in her pangs cries out; So were we, LORD, before thy face. 18 We trouble have conceiv'd, are pain'd, But bring forth vanity, and wind; Nor do the world's disturbers fall: Nor we on earth deliverance find. [4 Part] 19 Thy dead shall surely live again, With thy dead body rise they must: Awake out of the sleep of death, And sing ye who dwell in the dust! Because the dew that falls on thee, Is like the dew that makes herbs grow But out abroad with violence, The earth the wicked ones shall throw. 20 Come then my people enter in To chambers that most secret are; And after thee shut thou the doors, And make them fast with utmost care. There do thou hide thy self a while; It shall but as a moment be, And all the indignation shall Be pass'd for ever over thee. 21 For lo, the LORD is coming forth, Out of his dwelling place on high, Upon the earth's inhabitants, To punish their iniquity. The earth shall then disclose and show The bloods within her buried; Her slain shall be brought forth to view, And be no longer covered. Languages: English
