Meekness and patience
Psalm 37 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.86 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Patience under persecutions; Saints patience and world's hatred; Sinner hatred and saint's patience; World's hatred and saint's patience First Line: Why should I vex my soul, and fret Lyrics:
Why should I vex my soul, and fret
To see the wicked rise?
Or envy sinners waxing great
By violence and lies?
As flowery grass, cut down at noon,
Before the ev'ning fades,
So shall their glories vanish soon
In everlasting shades.
Then let me make the Lord my trust,
And practise all that's good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And he'll provide me food.
I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait his will;
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfil.
Mine innocence shalt thou display,
And make thy judgments known,
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.
The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of heav'n;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are giv'n.
Rest in the Lord, and keep his way,
Nor let your anger rise,
Though Providence should long delay
To punish haughty vice.
Let sinners join to break your peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for he sees
Their day of vengeance come.
They have drawn out the threat'ning sword,
Have bent the murd'rous bow,
To slay the men that fear the Lord,
And bring the righteous low.
My God shall break their bows, and burn
Their persecuting darts,
Shall their own swords against them turn,
And pain surprise their hearts.

Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner's gold.
The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne'er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.
His alms with lib'ral heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His mem'ry to long ages lives,
And blessed is his seed.
His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.
The law and gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the word,
His feet shall never slide.
When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.

My God, the steps of pious men
Are ordered by thy will;
Though they should fall, they rise again,
Thy hand supports them still.
The Lord delights to see their ways,
Their virtue he approves;
He'll ne'er deprive them of his grace,
Nor leave the men he loves.
The heav'nly heritage is theirs,
Their portion and their home;
He feeds them now, and makes them heirs
Of blessings long to come.
Wait on the Lord, ye sons of men,
Nor fear when tyrants frown;
Ye shall confess their pride was vain,
When justice casts them down.
The haughty sinner have I seen,
Nor fearing man nor God,
Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green,
Spreading his arms abroad.
And lo! he vanished from the ground,
Destroyed by hands unseen;
Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found
Where all that pride had been.
But mark the man of righteousness,
His several steps attend;
True pleasure runs through all his ways,
And peaceful is his end.

that I may walk with God each day;
then will you give me your protection;
no trouble shall my heart dismay.

father and mother now to me:
come, shield me from the threat of evil,
lift up my soul and set me free!

Rejoice, All Ye Believers
Author: Laurentius Laurentii; Mrs. Sarah (Borthwick) Findlater Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #17 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Patience Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh.
Up, watch, and pray, and wrestle,--
At midnight comes the cry!
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Up, up ye heirs of glory,
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign forever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption
That brings us unto Thee!
Amen.

Hear my pray'r, O heavenly Father
Author: Harriet Parr Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #33 (1899) Topics: God Patience of Lyrics: 1 Hear my pray'r, O heavenly Father,
Ere we lay me down to sleep;
Bid Thy angels, pure and holy,
Round my bed their vigil keep.
2 Great by sins are, but Thy mercy
Far outweighs them every one;
Down before Thy cross I cast them,
Trusting in Thy help alone.
3 Keep me, through this night of peril,
Underneath its boundless shade;
Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,
When my pilgrimage is made!
4 None shall measure out Thy patience
By the span of human thought;
None shall bound the tender mercies
Which Thy Holy Son hath wrought.
5 Pardon all my past transgressions;
Give me strength for days to come;
Guide and guard me with Thy blessing,
Till Thine angels bid me home!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WRAYSBURY

Why should I vex my Soul, and fret
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P37a (1766) Topics: Patience under persecutions; World's Hatred, and Saints Patience Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my Soul, and fret

Before the Evening fades,
So shall their Glories vanish soon
In everlasting Shades.

And practise all that's good;
So shall I dwell among the Just,
And he'll provide me Food.

And chearful wait his Will;

Shall my Desires fulfil.

And make thy Judgments known,
Fair as the Light of dawning Day,
And glorious as the Noon.

And are the Heirs of Heav'n;
True Riches, with abundant Peace,
To humble Souls are giv'n.

Their Day of Vengeance come.

Have bent the murd'rous Bow,
To slay the Men that fear the Lord,
And bring the Righteous low.

Their persecuting Darts;
Shall their own Swords against them turn,
And Pain surprize their Hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15 Languages: English
