Commemoration and Praise

Hymnal: The Psalter #77 (1912) Topics: Prosperity Without God's Blessing First Line: O Lord, by Thee delivered Lyrics: 1 O Lord, by Thee delivered, I Thee with songs extol; My foes Thou hast not suffered To glory o'er my fall. O Lord, my God, I sought Thee, And Thou didst heal and save; Thou, Lord, from death didst ransom, And keep me from the grave. 2 His holy Name remember, Ye saints, Jehovah praise; His anger lasts a moment, His favor all our days; For sorrow, like a pilgrim, May tarry for a night, But joy the heart will gladden When dawns the morning light. 3 In prosp'rous days I boasted, Unmoved I shall remain, For, Lord, by Thy good favor My cause Thou didst maintain; I soon was sorely troubled, For Thou didst hide Thy face; I cried to Thee, Jehovah, I sought Jehovah's grace. 4 What profit if I perish, If life Thou dost not spare? Shall dust repeat Thy praises, Shall it Thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That Thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To Thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart Thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to Thee I bring.

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #94 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The prosperity of Sinners cursed Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine To see the wicked plac'd on high, In pride and robes of honour shine! 2 But oh their end, their dreadful end! Thy sanctuary taught me so; On slippery rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below. 3 Now let them boast how tall they rise, I'll never envy them again: There they may stand with haughty eyes, Till they plunge deep in endless pain. 4 Their fancied joys, how fast they flee! Just like a dream when man awakes; Their songs of softest harmony Are but a preface to their plagues. 5 Now I esteem their mirth and wine Too dear to purchase with my blood; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, My life, my portion, and my God.
