Blest be the everlasting God

Be his abounding mercy praised, his majesty adored! 2 When from the dead he raised his Son, and called him to the sky, he gave our souls a lively hope that they should never die. 3 There's an inheritance divine reserved against that day; 'tis uncorrupted, undefiled, and cannot fade away. 4 Saints by the power of God are kept, till that salvation come: we walk by faith as strangers here, till Christ shall call us home.

Your presence now display; as you have given a place for prayer, so give us hearts to pray. 2 Within these walls let holy peace and love and friendship dwell; here give the troubled conscience ease; the wounded spirit heal. 3 May we in faith receive your word, in faith present our prayers; and in the presence of our Lord unburden all our cares. 4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye, the contrite heart bestow, and shine upon us from on high, that we in grace may grow.

Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord, dost stand from us afar? and wherefore hidest thou thyself when times so troublous are? 2 The wicked in his loftiness doth persecute the poor: in the devices they have framed let them be taken sure. 3 The wicked of his heart’s desire doth talk with boastful word; the covetous renounceth, yea, he doth despise the Lord. 4 The wicked in his haughtiness upon God doth not call; and in the counsels of his heart there is no God at all. 5 His ways at all time grievous are; thy judgments from his sight removed are: at all his foes he puffeth with despite. 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be; and no adversity at all shall ever come to me. 7 His mouth with cursing, fraud, and wrong, is filled abundantly; and underneath his tongue there is mischief and vanity. 8 He closely sits in villages; he slays the innocent: against the poor that pass him by his cruel eyes are bent. 9 He lion-like lurks in his den; he waits the poor to take, and when he draws him in his net, his prey he doth him make. 10 Himself he humbleth very low, he croucheth down withal, that so a multitude of poor may by his strong ones fall. 11 He thus hath said within his heart, God hath it quite forgot; he hides his countenance, and he for ever sees it not. 12 O Lord, do thou arise; O God, lift up thine hand on high: put not the meek afflicted ones out of thy memory. 13 Why is it that the wicked man doth God thus still despise? Because that God will it require he in his heart denies. 14 Thou hast it seen; for wrong and wrath thou seest to repay: the poor commits himself to thee; thou art the orphan’s stay. 15 The arm break of the wicked man, and of the evil one; do thou seek out his wickedness, until thou findest none. 16 The Lord is king through ages all, even to eternity; the heathen people from his land are perished utterly. 17 O Lord, of those that humble are thou the desire didst hear; thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou to hear wilt bend thine ear; 18 to judge the fatherless and those that are oppressed sore; that man, who is but of the earth, may them oppress no more.

O LORD, Thy Perfect Righteousness

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thy perfect righteousness is in Thy judgments shown; in Thy unchanging faithfulness Thy truth Thou hast made known. 2 Because Thy foes forget Thy law my soul is greatly stirred; Thy servant loves the purity of Thy most holy Word. 3 Though I am humble and despised, I strive Thy will to do; eternal is Thy righteousness, and all Thy law is true. 4 Delight amid distress and pain do Thy commandments give; Thy word is righteous evermore, teach me that I may live.
