From all that dwell below the skies

Pardoning Grace

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #CXXXb (1780) First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics: 1 From deep distress and troubled tho'ts, To thee, my God, I rais'd my cries! If thou severely mark our faults, No flesh can stand before thine eyes. 2 But thou hast built thy throne of grace Free to dispense thy pardons there, That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love as well as fear. 3 As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for break of day, So waits my soul before thy gate; When will my God his face display? 4 My trust is fix'd upon thy word, Nor shall I trust thy word in vain: Let mourning souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain. 5 Great is his love, and large his grace, Thro' the redemption of his Son; He turns our feet from sinful ways, And pardons what our hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Israel led to Canaan, and christians to heaven

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #CVIIa (1780) First Line: Give thanks to God, he reigns above Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God; he reigns above: Kind are his thoughts, his name is love, His mercy ages past has known, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD The wonders of his grace record; Isr'el, the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes. 3 [When GOD's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian Yoke, They trac'd the desert, wand'ring round A wild and solitary ground! 4 There they could find no leading round Nor City for their fix'd abode; Nor food, nor fountain to assuage Their burning thirst, or hanger's rage.] 5 In their distress to GOD they cry'd, GOD was their saviour and their guide; He lad their march far wand'ring round; 'Twas the right path to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first relief we gain From sin's old yoke, and satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dang'rous and a tiresome place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a pow'rful hand, And brings us to the heav'nly land. 8 O let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

God's Conduct of Israel, and Plagues of Egypt

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #CV (1780) First Line: Give thanks to God, invoke his name Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, invoke his name, And tell the world his grace; Sound thro' the earth his deeds of fame, That all may seek his face. 2 His cov'nant which he kept in mind For num'rous ages past, To num'rous ages yet behind In equal force shall last. 3 He swore to Abr'am and his seed, And made the blessings sure, Gentiles the ancient promise read, And find his truth endure. 4 "Thy seed shall make all nations blest, (Said the almighty voice) And Canaan's land shall be their rest, The type of heav'nly joys." 5 [How large the grant! how rich the grace! To give them Canaan's land, When they were strangers in the place, A small and feeble band! 6 Like pilgrims thro' the countries round Securely they remov'd; And haughty kings that on them frown'd Severely he reprov'd. 7 "Touch mine anointed, and mine arm Shall soon avenge the wrong; The man that does my prophets harm Shall know their God is strong." 8 Then let the world forbear it's rage, Nor put the church in fear; Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age, And be the Almighty's care. Pause I. 9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints, And thus provok'd their God, Moses was sent at their complaints, Arm'd with his dreadful rod. 10 He call'd for darkness: darkness came Like an o'erwhelming flood; He turn'd each lake and ev'ry stream To lakes and streams of blood. 11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies Thro' the whole country spread; And frogs in croking armies rise About the monarch's bed. 12 Thro' fields and towns, and palaces, The tenfold vengeance flew; Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees, And hail their cattle slew. 13 Then by an angel's midnight stroke, The flow'r of Egypt dy'd; The strength of ev'ry house was broke, Their glory and their pride. 14 Now let the world forbear it's rage Nor put the church in fear; Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age, and be th' Almignty's care. Pause II. 15 Thus were the tribes from bondage brought And left the hated ground; Rich with Egyptian spoils they got And not one feeble bound. 16 The Lord himself chose out their way, And mark'd their journies right, Gave them a leading cloud by day, A fiery guide by night. 17 They thurst; and waters from the rock In rich abundance flow, And following still the course they took, Ran all the desert through. 18 O wond'rous stream! O blessed type Of ever'flowing grace! So Christ our rock maintains our life Thro' all this wilderness. 19 Thus guarded by th' almighty hand, The chosen tribes possest Canaan the rich, the promis'd land, And there enjoy'd their rest. 20 "Then let the world forbear its rage, "The church renounce her fear: "Isr'el must live thro' ev'ry age, "And be th' Almighty's care." Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English

Storm and Thunder

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #XXIX (1780) First Line: Give to the LORD, ye sons of fame Lyrics: 1 Give to the LORD, ye sons of fame, Give to the LORD renown and pow'r, Ascribe due honors to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The LORD proclaims his pow'r aloud Over the ocean and the land; His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command. 3 He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind, Lay the wide forest bare around: The fearful hart, and frightened hind, Leap at the terror of the sound. 4 To Lebanon he turns his voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise; The valies roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sov'reign on the flood; The thund’rer, reigns for ever King: But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing. 6 In gentler language there the Lord The counsel of his grace imparts; Amidst the raging storm his word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

What wonders are in Zion told? Thou city of our God below, Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. 4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew; Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring. 5 When GOD makes up his last account Of natives in his holy mount, ’Twill be an honor to appear As one new-born and nourish'd there!
