Psalm 147 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.333 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Blessings of a nation First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty God Lyrics:
O Britain, praise thy mighty God,
And make his honors known abroad,
He bid the ocean round thee flow;
Not bars of brass could guard thee so.
Thy children are secure and blest;
Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest;
He feeds thy sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
Thy changing seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And thus the springing corn defends.
With hoary frost he strews the ground;
His hail descends with clatt'ring sound:
Where is the man so vainly bold
That dares defy his dreadful cold?
He bids the southern breezes blow;
The ice dissolves, the waters flow:
But he hath nobler works and ways
To call the Britons to his praise.
To all the isle his laws are shown,
His gospel through the nation known;
He hath not thus revealed his word
To every land: praise ye the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English
Psalm 147 Part 2
Praise for national peace
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: National prayer and praise; Praise for peace of the nation First Line: Great ruler of the earth and skies Lyrics: 1 Great ruler of the earth and skies,
A word of thine almighty breath
Can sink the world, or bid it rise:
Thy smile is life, thy frown is death.
2 When angry nations rush to arms,
And rage, and noise, and tumult reign,
And war resounds its dire alarms,
And slaughter dyes the hostile plains;
3 Thy sovereign eye looks calmly down,
And marks their course, and bounds their pow'r;
Thy word the angry nations own,
And noise and war are heard no more.
4 Then peace returns with balmy wing,
(Sweet peace! with her what blessings fled!)
Glad plenty laughs, the vallies sing,
Reviving commerce lifts her head.
5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord,
All move subservent to thy will;
And peace and war await thy word,
And thy sublime decrees fulfil.
6 To thee we pay our grateful songs,
Thy kind protection still implore?
O may our hearts, and lives, and tongues,
Confess thy goodness and adore. Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Languages: English

The Honours of our native Place,
And Bulwarks of our Land.]

A Refuge in Distress;
How bright has his Salvation shone
Through all her Palaces!
4 When Kings against her join'd,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild Confusion of the Mind,
They fled with hasty Fear.
5 When Navies tall and proud
Attempt to spoil our Peace,
He sends his Tempest roaring loud,
And sinks them in the Seas.
6 Oft have our Fathers told,
Our Eyes have often seen,
How well our GOD secures the Fold,
Where his own Sheep have been.

We'll to his House repair;
We'll think upon his wond'rous Grace,
And seek Deliv'rance there. Scripture: Psalm 48:1-8 Languages: English

Give Thanks to GOD: He reigns above
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107a (1766) Topics: Nation blest and punished Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD; He reigns above,
Kind are his Thoughts, his Name is Love;
His Mercy Ages past have known,
And Ages long to come shall own.
2 Let the Redeemed of the Lord
The Wonders of his Grace record;
Isr'el, the Nation whom he chose,
And rescu'd from their mighty Foes.
3 [When GOD's Almighty Arm had broke
Their Fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke,
They trac'd the Desart, wand'ring round
A wild and solitary Ground!
4 There they could find no leading Road,
Nor City for a fix'd Abode;
Nor Food nor Fountain to asswage
Their burning Thirst or Hunger's Rage.]
5 In their Distress to GOD they cry'd;
GOD was their Saviour and their Guide;
He led their March far wand'ring round;
'Twas the right Path to Canaan's Ground.
6 Thus when our first Release we gain
From Sin's old Yoke, and Satan's Chain,
We have this desert World to pass,
A dangerous and a tiresome Place.
7 He feeds and clothes us all the Way,
He guides our Footsteps, lest we stray;
He guards us with a pow'rful Hand,
And brings us to the heav'nly Land.
8 O let the Saints with joy record
The Truth and Goodness of the Lord!
How great his Works! how kind his Ways!
Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

He sends his Spirit with his Word,
To arm me for the Field.
2 When Sin and Hell their Force unite,
He makes my Soul his Care,
Instructs me to the heav'nly Fight,
And guards me through the War.
3 A Friend and Helper so divine
Does my weak Courage raise;
He makes the glorious Vict'ry mine,
And his shall be the Praise.
Scripture: Psalm 144:1-2 Languages: English
For ever blessed be the Lord
Lord, what is Man, poor feeble Man
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P144b (1766) Topics: Blessings of a nation; Nation's prosperity Lyrics: 1 Lord, what is Man, poor feeble Man,
Born of the Earth at first?
His Life a Shadow, light and vain,
Still hasting to the Dust.
2 O what is feeble dying Man,
Or any of his Race,
That GOD should make it his Concern
To visit him with Grace?
3 That GOD who darts his Lightnings down,
Who shakes the Worlds above,
And Mountains tremble at his Frown,
How wond'rous is his Love!
Scripture: Psalm 144:3-6 Languages: English
Lord, what is Man, poor feeble Man
