Trust in the Mercy of God

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Forsaken by God First Line: How long wilt thou forget me Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, Thou God of grace? How long shall fears beset me, While darkness hides Thy face? How long shall griefs distress me And turn my day to night? How long shall foes oppress me And triumph in their might? 2 O Lord my God, behold me, And hear my earnest cries; Lest sleep of death enfold me, Enlighten Thou mine eyes; Lest now my foe insulting Should boast of his success, And enemies exulting Rejoice in my distress. 3 But I with expectation Have on Thy grace relied; My heart in Thy salvation Shall still with joy confide. And I with voice of singing Will praise the Lord above, Who, richest bounties bringing, Has dealt with me in love. Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: OLIVA

The Church Under Discipline

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Troubles of First Line: In Thy heritage the heathen Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen Now, O God, triumphant stand; They defile Thy holy temple, They destroy Thy chosen land; Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants, They have caused Thy saints to mourn, In the sight of all about us We endure reproach and scorn. 2 O how long against Thy people Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord? On Thy enemies, the heathen, Be Thy indignation poured; Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee, Calling not upon Thy Name. They have long devoured Thy people And have swept Thy land with flame. 3 O remember not against us Evil by our fathers wrought; Haste to help us in Thy mercy, Near to ruin we are brought; Help us, God of our salvation, For the glory of Thy Name; For Thy Name's sake come and save us, Take away our sin and shame. 4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee, Now avenge Thy servants slain; Loose the pris'ner, save the dying, All Thy enemies restrain; Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people, Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise, And to ev'ry generation, We will sing Thy glorious praise.

Exalted high at God's right hand

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Eternity Happiness of the righteous Lyrics: 1 Exalted high at God’s right hand, Nearer the throne than cherubs stand; With glory crown'd, in white array, My wond'ring soul says, "Who are they?" 2 These are the saints, belov'd of God-- Wash'd are their robes in Jesus’ blood; More spotless than the purest white, They shine in uncreated light. 3 Brighter than angels, lo, they shine, Their glories great, and all divine; Tell me their origin, and say. Their order what, and whence came they? 4 Thro' tribulation great they came, They bore the cross, and scorn'd the shame Within the living temple blest, In God they dwell, and on him rest. 5 Unknown to mortal ears they sing The secret glories of their king; Tell me the subject of their lays, And whence their loud exalted praise? 6 Jesus, the Saviour, is their theme; They sing the wonders of his name; To him ascribing pow'r and grace, Dominion and eternal praise. Scripture: Revelation 7:9

Hell! 'tis a word of dreadful sound

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Eternity Happiness of the righteous Lyrics: 1 Hell! 'tis a word of dreadful sound; It chills the heart and shocks the ear; It spreads a sickly damp around, And makes the guilty quake with fear. 2 Far from the utmost verge of day, Its frightful, gloomy region lies; Fierce flames amidst the darkness play, And thick sulphureous vapours rise. 3 Conscience, the never dying worm, With constant torture gnaws the heart, And wo and wrath, in ev'ry form, Inflame the wounds, increase the smart. 4 The wretches rave, o'erwhelm'd with wo, And bite their everlasting chains; But with their rage their torments grow, Resentment but augments their pains. 5 Sad world indeed! what heart can bear, Hopeless, in all these pains to lie; Rack'd with vexation, grief, despair, And ever dying, never die! 6 "Lord, save a guilty soul from hell, Who seeks thy pard'ning, cleansing blood; O let me in thy kingdom dwell, To praise my Saviour and my God." Scripture: Mark 9:48

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Eternity Happiness of the righteous Lyrics: 1 Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke: 2 But we are come to Zion's hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare his will, And spread his love abroad. 3 Behold th'innumerable host Of angels, cloth'd in light! Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turn'd to sight! 4 Behold the blest assembly there, Whose names are writ in heav'n! And God, the Judge of all, declare Their num'rous sins forgiven. 5 In such society as this My weary soul would rest! The man that dwells where Jesus is, Must be for ever blest.
