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
Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice
Thus I Resolved Before the LORD
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus I resolved before the LORD,
"Now will I watch my tongue;
lest I let slip one sinful word,
or do my neighbor wrong."
2 And if I'm e'er constrained to stay
with men of lives profane,
I'll set a double guard that day,
nor let my talk be vain.
3 I'll scarce allow my lips to speak
the pious thoughts I feel,
lest scoffers should th'occasion take
to mock my holy zeal.
4 Yet if some proper hour appear,
I'll not be overawed,
but let the scoffing sinners hear
that we can speak for God.

Thou Framer of the Light and Dark
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou framer of the light and dark,
Steer through the tempest Thine own ark;
Amid the howling wintry sea,
We are in port if we have Thee.
2. The rulers of this Christian land,
’Twixt Thee and us ordained to stand,
Guide Thou their course, O Lord, aright;
Let all do all as in Thy sight.
3. O God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Hear Thou in Heav’n Thy children’s cry,
And in our hour of need be nigh. Used With Tune: SALISBURY Text Sources: In his poem "Tis Gone, That Bright and Orbed Blaze"

Lord Jesu, when we stand afar
God! The Eternal, Awful Name
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God! the eternal, awful name
That the whole heav’nly army fears,
That shakes the wide creation’s frame,
And Satan trembles when he hears.
2 Like flames of fire His servants are,
And light surrounds His dwelling place;
But, O ye fiery flames! declare
The brighter glories of His face.
3 ’Tis not for such poor worms as we
To speak so infinite a thing;
But your immortal eyes survey
The beauties of your sovereign king.
4 Tell how He shows His smiling face,
And clothes all Heav’n in bright array;
Triumph and joy run through the place,
And songs eternal as the day.
5 Speak, for you feel His burning love,
What zeal it spreads through all your frame;
That sacred fire dwells all above,
For we on earth have lost the name.
6 Sing of His power and justice too,
That infinite right hand of His
That vanquished Satan and his crew,
And thunder drove them down from bliss.
7 What mighty storms of poisoned darts
Were hurled upon the rebels there!
What deadly javelins nailed their hearts
Fast to the racks of long despair!
8 Shout to your king, ye heav’nly host,
You that beheld the sinking foe;
Firmly ye stood when they were lost:
Praise the rich grace that kept you so.
9 Proclaim His wonders from the skies,
Let every distant nation hear;
And while you sound His lofty praise,
Let humble mortals bow and fear.
