O Israel's Shepherd, Joseph's Guide

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXX (1767) Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 O Israels Shepherd, Joseph's Guide, Our Pray'rs to thee vouchsafe to hear! Thou that dost on the Cherubs ride, Again in solemn State appear: Ev'n thou that dost thy People keep, And lead'st them like a Flock of Sheep. 2 Behold, how Benjamin expects, With Ephraim and Manasseh join'd, In our Deliv'rance, the Effects Of thy resistless Strength to find. Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display, And all our Grief shall pass away. 3 O thou, whom heav'nly Hosts obey! How long shall thy fierce Anger burn? How long thy suff'ring People pray, And to their Pray'rs have no Return? Thou mak'st to eat the Bread of Woe, And drink of Fears that largely flow. 4 For us the Heathen Nations round, As for a common Prey contest; Our Foes with spiteful Joy abound, And at our lost Condition jest: Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display, And all our Grief shall pass away. Part II 5 Thou brought'st a Vine from Egypt's Land; And, casting out the Heathen Race, Did'st plant it with thine own Right-Hand, And firmly fix'd it in their Place. Thou mad'st it take a lasting Root, And o'er all the Land its Branches shoot. 6 The Hills were cover'd with its Shade, Its goodly Boughs did Cedars seem, Its Branches to the Sea were spread, And reach'd to proud Euphrates Stream. Thus Earth and Sea were covered o'er, With the thick Foliage which it bore. 7 Why then, hast thou, its Hedge o'erthrown, Which thou had'st made so firm and strong, Whilst all its Grapes, defenceless grown, Are pluck'd by those that pass along; It's Fruit the savage Monsters claim, And wild Boars root up the same. Part III 8 To thee, O God of Hosts, we pray; Thy wonted Goodness, LORD, renew, From Heav'n thy Throne, this Vine survey, And her sad State in Pity view. Preserve the Branch thou mad'st so strong, The place thy Hand did guard so long. 9 To wasting Flames 'tis made a Prey, And all its spreading Boughs cut down; At thy Rebuke they soon decay, And perish at thy dreadful Frown. Crown thou the King with good Success, By thy right Hand secur'd from Wrong: The Son of Man in Mercy bless. 18 So shall we still continue free From whatsoe'er deserves thy Blame; And if once more reviv'd by thee, Will always praise thy holy Name. Turn us, O LORD, thy Face display And all our Grief shall pass away.

O LORD, I am not proud of Heart

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXI (1767) Tune Key: a minor Lyrics: 1 O LORD, I am not proud of Heart, Nor do I cast a scornful Eye; And my aspiring Thoughts. I ne'er Employ in Things for me to high. 2 With infant Innocence, thou know'st I always have my self demean'd; Compos'd to Quiet, like a Babe, That from it's Mother's Breast is wean'd. 3 Like me, let Israel hope in GOD, Let them his Aid alone implore; Both now and ever trust in him, Who lives and reigns for evermore.

O LORD our GOD! how great art thou!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #VIII (1767) Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our GOD! how great art thou! To whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is through the World thy Fame! Oh! may thy ever glorious Name Be still, with Rev'rence due, respected. 2 In Heav'n thy wond'rous Acts are sung; The Angel's Voice and Cherub' Tongue, Are endless Songs for thee preparing: And yet thy Wisdom doth ordain, That Infants should in heav'nly Strain, Be still thy Praise with Joy declaring. 3 Through thee the weak confound the strong, And so thou quell'st the wicked Throng Who have in evil Ways persisted: Thy Pow'r shall crush thy haughty Foes, Who boldly dare thy Strength oppose, And have thy mighty Arm resisted. 4 When, in Amazement lost, I stand, And view the Wonders of thy Hand, The Heav'ns, thy holy Habitation; The radiant Moon, that rules the Night, And glitt'ring Stars of feebler Light, With all the Works of thy Creation; 5 LORD, what is Man! surpriz'd, I cry, That thou should'st thus his Wants supply, And take him under thy Protection! Or what his Offspring, prove so kind, To keep them ever in thy Mind, And guide them by thy sure Direction. Part II: 6 Him cloath'd with Pow'r thou didst create, And crown'd with Dignity and State, In high exalted Station placed; Ev'n next to thy caelestial Train; Thou gav'st him o'er all thy Works to reign. 7 For him the lowing Oxen toil, To make the Earth with Plenty smile, And give their Labours uncomplaining: The bleating Sheep their Fleeces yield: He rules the Creatures of the Field, And those in desart Wilds remaining. 8 To him thou hast in Mercy giv'n The Birds that mount the azure Heav'n, With out-stretch'd Wings the Air dividing: And all the Fish that thro' the Sea, Delight to cut their liquid Way, With glossy Fins for ever gliding. 9 O LORD, our LORD, how great art thou! Thou whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is thro' the World thy Fame! Oh may thy ever glorious Name, Be still with Rev'rence due respected!

O LORD, the Rock of my Defence

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXVIII (1767) Tune Key: d minor Lyrics: 1 O LORD, the Rock, of my Defence, My certain Hope and Confidence, Do thou in tender Mercy hear, Thy Servant's earnest hymble Pray'r; Lest I in Sighs consume my Breath. And fall like those who sleep in Death. 2 Attend the Cries of my Distress, Hear me whom many Woes oppress; Nor cast me from thy Mercy_Seat; Lest I the Sinners Doom= should meet, Who make a Trade of doing Ill, And speak them fair they mean to kill. 3 According as they have dsign'd, So let them, LORD, thy Justice find; As they without Remorse transgress'd, And have the Innocent oppress'd: Be thou, O LORD, relentless too, And let thy Vengeance them pursue. 4 The Works of GOD they ne'er respect, But still with Scorn his Grace reject; Against his Saints they Wiles employ, The LORD will build them up no more. 5 To GOD my Song shall be address'd, Who heard the Voice of me distress'd; In him my Confidence was plac'd, And I return'd with Triumphs grac'd; My grateful Heart shall therefore raise, This chearful Tribute to his Praise. 6 'Tis by his Pow'r I am sustain'd, "His Arm hath still my Cause maintain'd; "'Twas He advanc'd me to the Throne, "I reign secure through him alone." Thy Chosen, LORD, with Plenty bless, And in their Battles grant Success.

Oh! praise the LORD with Hymns of Joy

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLVII (1767) Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 Oh! praise the LORD with Hymns of Joy, And celebrate his glorious Fame; For pleasant, good, and comely 'tis To sing loud Praises to his Name. His holy City GOD will build, Though levell'd even with the Ground, Bring back his People, though dispers'd Through all the Heathen Nations round. 2 He kindly heals the broken Hearts, And all their bleeding Wounds does close; He tells the Number of the Stars, Their sev'ral Names exactly knows; Great is the LORD, and great his Pow'r, His heav'nly Wisdom has no Bound; The Meek he raises, and throws down The haughty Wicked to the Ground. 3 To GOD, the LORD, a Hymn of Praise, With grateful Voices loudly sing; To Songs of Triumph tune the Harp, And touch with Skill each warbling String; He covers Heav'n with floating Clouds, And thence refreshing Rain bestows; Through him on lofty Mountain-Tops, The verdant Grass in Plenty grows. 4 He savage Beasts, that loosely range, With timely wholesome Food supplies; He feeds the Ravens tender Brood, And satisfies their hungry Cries. He values not the warlike Steed, But does his Strength disdain; The nimble Foot that swiftly runs, No Prize from him can gain. 5 But he to him that fears his Name, Mercy and tender Love extends; To him that on his boundless Grace With ever steadfast Hope depends. Let Sion and Jerusalem To GOD their constant Praise address, Who fenc'd their Gates with massy Brass, And does their num'rous Children bless. 6 Through all their Borders he gives Peace, With finest Flour of Wheat they're fed; He speaks the Word, and what he wills, Accomplish'd is as soon as said. Large Flakes of Snow, like fleecy Wool, Gently descends at this Command; And hoary Frost, like Ashes spread, Is plenteous scatter'd o'er the Land. 7 When join'd to these, he does his Hail These little icy Morsels send; Who can against his piercing Cold, Themselves sufficiently defend? He sends his Word, which melts the Ice, He makes the warmer Wind to blow, And soon the Streams, congeal'd before, Now thaw'd, in plenteous Currents flow. 8 By him his Statutes and Decrees To Jacob's Sons were plainly shown, And still to Israel's chosen Seed, He makes righteous Precepts known, No other Nations this can boast, Nor did he ever yet afford To Heathen Lands his Oracles, And Knowledge of his sacred Word.

O, månne väl du Skulle sörja för kläder och bröd Med hedningens oro i hjärtat? 4 Om han komme i dag, rättfärdig och vis, Till att ställa oss all för sig, Månne människors dom och människors pris Skulle synas af värde för dig Eller falla med tyngd uti vågen? 5 Om han komme i dag – o pröfva dig än, Medan anskriet dröjer, och säg: Är hans ankomst dig kuar, eller fruktar du den?

Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXIX (1767) Tune Key: d minor Lyrics: 1 Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways, I strove to keep my Tongue in Awe; And curb'd with Care, my hasty Words, When I the prosp'rous wicked saw; From good Discourse I did refrain, But that increas'd my inward Pain. 2 My Heart did glow, which working Thoughts, Did in my Bosom restless make; And warm Reflection fann'd the Fire, 'Till with my Tongue at last I spake: And thus with eager Zeal express'd, The Thought that labor'd in my Breast. 3 LORD, let me know my Term of Days, And show how soon my Life will end; The num'rous Train of Ills disclose, Which still on this frail State attend: A Span will measure all my Years, My Life but Vanity appears. 4 Man, like a Shadow, vainly walks, With fruitless Cares opprest; He heaps up Wealth, but cannot tell, By whom 'twill be possess'd' Why should I then on Toys attend, My Hopes on thee shall still depend. Part II 5 Forgive my Sins, nor let me scorn'd, By proud disdainful Sinners, be; I silent was, and murmur'd not, Because I saw 'twas done by thee. The Burden of thy Wrath remove, Lest my frail Flesh too weak should prove. 6 For when thou chast'nest Man for Sin, Thou mak'st his Beauty soon to fade; It wastes away ev'n like a Cloth, That is by fretting Moths decay'd: So vain in ev'ry earthly Joy, And Life itself is but a Toy. 7 LORD, hear my Cry, accept my Tears, And listen to my humble Pray'r, Who sojourn like a Stranger here, As all my Fore-fathers likewise were. Oh spare me, and my Strength restore, Before I shall be seen no more!
