From the eastern mountains

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #99 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Church Universal Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! hail, in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, were precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth: before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall bow down before him, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing: to him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, he on his throne shall rest; from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blest: the tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand for ever, his changeless name of love.

Bless, O my Soul, the living GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P103a (1766) Topics: God his universal dominion Lyrics: 1 Bless, O my Soul, the living GOD, Call home thy Thoughts that rove abroad, Let all the Pow'rs within me join In Work and Worship so divine. 2 Bless, O my Soul, the God of Grace; His Favours claim thy highest Praise Why should the Wonders he hath wrought Be lost in Silence, and forgot? 3 'Tis he, my Soul, that sent his Son To die for Crimes which thou hast done; He owns the Ransom, and forgives The hourly Follies of our Lives. 4 The Vices of the Mind he heals, And cures the Pains that Nature feels, Redeems the Soul from Hell, and saves Our wasting Life from threat'ning Graves. 5 Our Youth decay'd his Pow'r repairs; His Mercy crowns our growing Years: He satisfies our Mouth with Good, And fills our Hopes with heav'nly Food. 6 He sees th' Oppressor and th' Opprest, And often gives the Suff'rers Rest; But will his Justice more display In the last great rewarding Day. 7 [His Pow'r he shew'd by Moses' Hands, And gave to Isr'el his Commands; But sent his Truth and Mercy down To all the Nations by his Son. 8 Let the whole Earth his Pow'r confess, Let the whole Earth adore his Grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In Work and Worship so divine.] Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 Languages: English

The Lord, how wond'rous are his Ways!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P103b (1766) Topics: God his universal dominion Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how wond'rous are his Ways! How firm his Truth! how large his Grace! He takes his Mercy for his Throne, And thence he makes his Glories known. 2 Not half so high his Pow'r hath spread The starry Heav'ns above our Head, As his rich Love exceeds our Praise, Exceeds the highest Hopes we raise. 3 Not half so far hath Nature plac'd The rising Morning from the West, As his forgiving Grace removes The daily Guilt of those he loves. 4 How slowly doth his Wrath arise! On swifter Wings Salvation flies; And if he lets his Anger burn, How soon his Frowns to Pity turn! 5 Amidst his Wrath Compassion shines; His Strokes are lighter than our Sins; And while his Rod corrects his Saints, His Ear indulges their Complaints. 6 So Fathers their young Sons chastise With gentle Hands and melting Eyes; The Children weep beneath the Smart, And move the Pity of their Heart. Pause. 7 The mighty GOD, the Wise and Just, Knows that our Frame is feeble Dust; And will no heavy Loads impose Beyond the Strength that he bestows. 8 He knows how soon our Nature dies, Blasted by ev'ry Wind that flies; Like Grass we spring, and die as soon, As Morning Flow'rs that fade at Noon. 9 But his eternal Love is sure To all the Saints, and shall endure: From Age to Age his Truth shall reign, Nor Children's Children hope in vain. Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18 Languages: English

O bless the Lord, my Soul!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P103c (1766) Topics: God his universal dominion Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my Soul! Let all within me join, And aid my Tongue to bless his Name, Whose Favours are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my Soul; Nor let his Mercies lie Forgotten in Unthankfulness; And without Praises die. 3 'Tis he forgives thy Sins, 'Tis he relieves thy Pain, 'Tis he that heals thy Sicknesses And makes thee young again. 4 He crowns thy Life with Love, When ransom'd from the Grave; He that redeem'd my Soul from Hell Hath sov'reign Pow'r to save. 5 He fills the Poor with Good, He gives the Suff'rers Rest; The Lord hath Judgments for the Proud, And Justice for th'Opprest. 6 His wondrous Works and Ways He made by Moses known; But sent the World his Truth and Grace By his beloved Son. Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 Languages: English

My Soul, repeat his Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P103d (1766) Topics: God his universal dominion Lyrics: 1 My Soul, repeat his Praise, Whose Mercies are so great; Whose Anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 GOD will not always chide; And when his Strokes are felt, His Strokes are fewer than our Crimes, And lighter than our Guilt. 3 High as the Heav'ns are raised Above the Ground we tread, So far the Riches of his Grace Our highest Thoughts exceed. 4 His Pow'r subdues our Sins, And his forgiving Love, Far as the East is from the West, Doth all our Guilt remove. 5 The Pity of the Lord, To those that fear his Name, Is such as tender Parents feel; He knows our feeble Frame. 6 He knows we are but Dust, Scatter'd with every Breath: His Anger, like a rising Wind, Can send us swift to Death. 7 Our Days are as the Grass, Or like the Morning Flow'r; If one sharp Blast sweeps o'er the Field It withers in an Hour. 8 But thy Compassion, Lord, To endless Years endure; And Children's Children ever find Thy Words of Promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18 Languages: English
