For those in bonds as bound with them

Author: Hastings Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Freedom Lyrics: 1 For those in bonds as bound with them, To thee, O God! we pray That some celestial, radiant beam May bring a brighter day. 2 Pity, O Lord! that injured race, And thy deliverance send; Grant them the treasures of thy grace, And bid their bondage end. 3 They sit in darkness, slow to learn The blessings that they need Nor can our anxious thought discern How best their cause to plead. 4 All helpless, and without a plan, We come before thy throne; We put no confidence in man, But trust in thee alone. 5 The means of rescue, and the hour, Thy mercy will reveal: Thine is the wisdom, thine the power; Teach us to do thy will.

Psalm 124

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: National deliverance First Line: Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say Lyrics: Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say, Had not the Lord maintained our side, When men, to make our lives a prey, Rose like the swelling of the tide; The swelling tide had stopped our breath, So fiercely did the waters roll, We had been swallowed deep in death; Proud waters had o'erwhelmed our soul. We leap for joy, we shout and sing, Who just escaped the fatal stroke; So flies the bird with cheerful wing, When once the fowler's snare is broke. For ever blessed be the Lord, Who broke the fowler's cursed snare, Who saved us from the murd'ring sword, And made our lives and souls his care. Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who formed the earth and built the skies: He that upholds that wondrous frame Guards his own church with watchful eyes. Scripture: Psalm 124

For a Public Fast

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: National prayer and praise First Line: See, gracious God, before thy throne Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before thy throne Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from thy hand, Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 Great God, and why is Britain spar'd, Ungrateful as we are! O make thy awful warnings heard, While mercy cries "forbear." 4 What numerous crimes increasing rise, Thro' this apostate Isle! What land so favor'd of the skies, And yet what land so vile? 5 How chang'd alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt, and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the christian name! 6 Regardless of thy smile or frown, Their pleasures they require; And sink with gay indifference down To everlasting fire. 7 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, By thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face. 8 Then, should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never-failing aid, If God, our God, is near.

We plead thy Son's atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises; And are they unavailing pleas? 4 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe: Let them prevail to save us, too. Scripture: Isaiah 26:9
