All faithful teachers well do know

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All faithful teachers well do know, Their cases shew them plain; In all what ever they can do, They are but feeble men. 2 It is the work of God alone, By which they are prepar'd; To such he makes his counsels known, Contained in his word. 3 By them the word of truth is taught: And all who will believe, From death unto that life is brought, Which Christ himself will give. 4 God's law is written in the mind, Not on the stone engrav'd; It makes the will to God resign'd, No more to sin enslav'd. 5 The letter of the law can kill, And sink the rebel low; But cannot change the stubborn will, Nor yet the mind renew. 6 The law like unto Moses' face, Does cast a fearful ray; But O! the glorious word of grace, Can drive our fears away. 7 O may such glory be reveal'd, And with influence shine; Till all our hearts be truly fill's With love and grace divine.

All ye that love the Lord, rejoice

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXLIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All ye that love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church with cheerful voice His later wonders show. 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, Ev'n 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 judgment-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.

Admidst thy wrath remember love

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Amidst thy wrath remember love, Restore thy servant, Lord; Nor let a Father’s chast'ning prove Like an avenger’s sword. 2 Thine arrows stick within my heart, My flesh is sorely prest; Between the sorrow and the smart My spirit finds no rest. 3 My sins a heavy load appear, And o’er my head are gone; Too heavy they for me to bear, Too hard for me t’atone. 4 My thoughts are like a troubled sea, That sinks my comforts down; And I go mourning all the day Beneath my Father’s frown. 5 Lord, I am weaken'd and dismay'd, None of my pow'rs are whole: My wounds with piercing anguish bleed, The anguish of my soul. 6 All my desire to thee are known, Thine eye counts ev'ry tear, And ev'ry sigh and every groan Is noticed by thine ear. 7 Thou art my God, my only hope; My God will hear my cry, My God will bear my spirit up When Satan bids me die. [8 My foes rejoice whene'er I slide, To see my virtue fail; They raise their pleasure and their pride, Whene'er their wiles prevail. 9 But I’ll confess my guilty ways, And grieve for all my sin; I’ll mourn how weak the seeds of grace, And beg support divine. 10 My God, forgive my follies past, And be for ever nigh; O Lord of my salvation, haste, Before thy servant die.] Topics: Guilt of Conscience and Relief Scripture: Psalm 38 Languages: English

Among th'assemblies of the great

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.

And will the God of grace

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXXXIII (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And will the God of grace Perpetual silence keep? The God of Justice hold his peace, And let his vengeance sleep! 2 Behold what cursèd snares The men of mischief spread; The men that hate thy saints and thee, Lift up their threat'ning head. 3 Against thy hidden ones, Their counsels they employ, And malice with her watchful eye, Pursues them to destroy. 4 "Come let us join, they cry, To root them from the ground, Till not the name of saints remain, Nor mem'ry shall be found." 5 Awake, almighty God, And call thy wrath to mind; Give them like forests to the fire, Or stubble to the wind. 6 Convince their madness, Lord, And make them seek thy name; Or else their stubborn rage confound, That they may die in shame. 7 Then shall the nations know Thy glorious dreadful word, Jehovah is thy name alone, And thou the sov'reign Lord.

Are all the foes of Zion fools

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Are all the foes of Zion fools, Who thus devour her saints? Do they not know her Saviour rules, And pities her complaints? 2 They shall be seiz'd with sad surprise; For God's revenging arm Shall crush the hand that dares arise, To do his children harm. 3 In vain the sons of Satan boast Of armies in array; When God has first despis'd their host, They fall an easy prey. 4 Oh for a word from Zion's King, Her captives to restore! The joyful saints thy praise shall sing, And Isr'el weep no more. Topics: Victory and Deliverance from Persecution Scripture: Psalm 53 Languages: English

And yet our foes deride, That we should make thy name our trust; Great God, confound their pride. 4 O that the joyful day were come To finish our distress! When God shall bring his children home, Our songs shall never cease. Topics: The Folly of Persecutors Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English
