Let Sion and her Sons rejoice

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P102b (1766) Topics: Complaint general Lyrics: 1 Let Sion and her Sons rejoice, Behold the promis'd Hour; Her GOD hath heard her mourning Voice, And comes t' exalt his Pow'r. 2 Her Dust and Ruins that remain, Are precious in our Eyes; Those Ruins shall be built again, And all that Dust shall rise. 3 The Lord will raise Jerusalem And stand in Glory there; Nations shall bow before his Name, And Kings attend with Fear. 4 He sits a Sov'reign on his Throne, With Pity in his Eyes; He hears the dying Pris'ners' Groan And sees their Sighs arise. 5 He frees the Souls condemn'd to Death, And when his Saints complain, It shan't be said, "That praying Breath "Was ever spent in vain." 6 This shall be known when we are dead, And left on long Record; That Ages yet unborn may read, And trust, and praise the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 102:13-21 Languages: English

It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P102c (1766) Topics: Complaint general Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand Weakens our Strength amidst the Race; Disease and Death at his Command Arrest us, and cut short our Days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our Sun go down at Noon; Thy Years are one eternal Day, And must thy Children die so soon? 3 Yet in the Midst of Death and Grief This Thought our Sorrow should asswage; "Our Father and our Saviour live; "Christ is the same through ev'ry Age." 4 'Twas he this Earth's Foundation laid; Heav'n is the Building of his Hand; This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade, And all be chang'd at his Command. 5 The starry Curtains of the Sky, Like Garments shall be laid aside; But still thy Throne stands firm on high; Thy Church for ever must abide. 6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live, And on thy Throne thy Children reign; This dying World shall they survive, And the dead Saints be rais'd again.

My hope is in thy Name; From all my sins deliver me, Nor put my soul to shame. 2 I suffered silently, Because Thy will is best; Remove Thy heavy stroke from me, For I am sore distressed. 3 When sin thou dost repay And chasten and restrain, Man's beauty quickly fades away; Yea, human life is vain. 4 O Lord, regard my fears, And answer my request; Turn not in silence from my tears, But give the mourner rest. 5 I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace, A pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place. 6 O spare me and restore My failing strength, I pray; Ere I go hence and be no more, The hand of judgment stay.

Be those who seek to hurt my soul Dismayed and put to flight, And they themselves be put to shame Who in my woe delight. 3 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice, Yea, glad in Thee abide.
