Praise GOD, all his Saints; or, The Saints judging the World

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXLIX (1785) First Line: All ye that love the Lord, rejoice Lyrics: 1 All ye that love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church with cheerful voice His later wonders shew. 2 The Jews, the people of his grace, Shall their Redeemer sing; And Gentile nations join the praise, While Zion owns her king. 3 The Lord takes pleasure in the just, Whom sinners treat with scorn; The meek that lie despis'd in dust Salvation shall adorn. 4 Saints should be joyful in their king, E'en on a dying bed; And like the souls in glory sing, For GOD shall raise the dead. 5 Then his high praise shall fill their tongues, Their hands shall wield the sword; And vengeance shall attend their songs, The vengeance of the Lord. 6 When Christ his judgement-seat ascends, And bids the world appear, Thrones are prepar'd for all his friends Who humbly lov'd him here. 7 Then shall they rule with iron-rod Nations that dar'd rebel; And join the sentence of their GOD, On tyrants doom'd to hell. 8 The royal sinners bound in chains New triumph shall afford: Such honour for the saint remains: Praise ye and love the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 149 Languages: English

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #XIIa (1785) First Line: Almighty God, appear and save! Lyrics: 1 Almighty GOD, appear and save! For vice and vanity prevail: The godly perish in the grave, The just depart, the faithful fail. 2 The whole discourse, when crouds are met, Is fill'd with trifles loose and vain; Their lips are flattery and deceit, And their proud language is profane. 3 But lips that with deceit abound Shall not maintain their triumph long; The God of vengeance will confound The flattering and blaspheming tongue. 4 "Yet shall our words be free, they cry; "Our tongues shall be control'd by none: "Where is the Lord will ask us why? "Or say, our lips are not our own? 5 The Lord, who sees the poor oppress'd, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. 6 Thy word, O Lord, tho' often try'd, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, seven times purify'd From dross and mixture, shines so clear. 7 Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the from danger and surprise; Tho' when the vilest men have power, On every side oppressors rise. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

The Hosanna of the Children; Or, Infants praising God

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #VIIIc (1785) First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Almighty Ruler of the skies, Thro' the wide earth thy name is spread, And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made. 2 To thee the voices of the young, There sounding notes of honour raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. 3 Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. 4 Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David, is their song, And loud Hosannas fill the place. 5 The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King.

The Babylonian Captivity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXXVII (1785) First Line: Along the banks where Babel's current flows Lyrics: 1 Along the banks where Babel's current flows, Our captive bands in deep despondence stray'd, While Zion's fall in sad remembrance rose, Her friends, her children, mingled with the dead. 2 The tuneless harp, that once with joy we strung, When praise employ'd and mirth inspir'd the lay, In mournful silence on the willows hung; And growing grief prolong'd the tedious day. 3 The barbarous tyrants, to increase the woe, With taunting smiles a song of Zion claim; Bid sacred praise in strains melodious flow, While they blaspheme the great Jehovah's name. 4 But how, in heathen chains and lands unknown, Shall Israel's sons, a song of Zion raise? O hapless Salem, GOD's terrestrial throne, Thou land of glory sacred mount of praise. 5 If e'er my memory lose thy lovely name, If my cold heart neglect my kindred race, Let dire destruction sieze this guilty frame; My hand shall perish and my voice shall cease. 6 Yet shall the Lord, who hears when Zion calls, O'ertake her foes with terror and dismay, His arm avenge her desolated walls, And raise her children to eternal day. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English

Scripture: Psalm 38 Languages: English

Or why support th' unrighteous cause? When will ye once defend the poor, That foes may vex the saints no more? 3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know: Dark are the way in which they go; Their name of earthly gods is vain, For they shall fall and die like men. 4 Arise, O Lord, and let thy son Possess his universal throne, And rule the nations with his rod; He is our judge, and he our GOD.

The joyful saints thy praise shall sing, And Israel weep no more. Scripture: Psalm 53:4-6 Languages: English

In vain they worship glittering dust, And pray to GOD in vain. 6 [Their gods have tongues that speechless prove, Such as their makers gave; Their feet were never form'd to move Nor hands have power to save. 7 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 Ye nations, know the living GOD, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes the churches his abode, And claims thine honours there.

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English

One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 3 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their different language knows, And different answers he bestows; The humble soul, with grace he crowns, While on the proud his anger frowns. 4 Dear Father, let me never be Join'd with the boasting Pharisee; I have no merits of my own But plead the sufferings of thy Son.
