Psalm 107 Part 4
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.236 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nation's blest and punished First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics:
Would you behold the works of God,
His wonders in the world abroad,
Go with the mariners, and trace
The unknown regions of the seas.
They leave their native shores behind,
And seize the favor of the wind;
Till God command, and tempests rise
That heave the ocean to the skies.
Now to the heav'ns they mount amain,
Now sink to dreadful deeps again;
What strange affrights young sailors feel,
And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel!
When land is far, and death is nigh,
Lost to all hope, to God they cry;
His mercy hears the loud address,
And sends salvation in distress.
He bids the winds their wrath assuage,
The furious waves forget their rage;
'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see
The haven where they wished to be.
O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
Let them their private off'rings bring,
And in the church his glory sing.

Psalm 107 Part 4
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.237 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Nation's blest and punished First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics:
Thy works of glory, mighty Lord,
Thy wonders in the deeps,
The sons of courage shall record
Who trade in floating ships.
At thy command the winds arise,
And swell the towering waves;
The men astonished mount the skies,
And sink in gaping graves.
[Again they climb the wat'ry hills,
And plunge in deeps again;
Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels,
And finds his courage vain.
Frighted to hear the tempest roar,
They pant with flutt'ring breath;
And hopeless of the distant shore,
Expect immediate death.]
Then to the Lord they raise their cries;
He bears the loud request,
And orders silence through the skies,
And lays the floods to rest.
Sailors rejoice to lose their fears,
And see the storm allayed:
Now to their eyes the port appears;
There let their vows be paid.
'Tis God that brings them safe to land;
Let stupid mortals know
That waves are under his command,
And all the winds that blow.
O that the sons of men would praise
The goodness of the Lord!
And those that see thy wondrous ways,
Thy wondrous love record.

Psalm 147
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.334 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Blessings of a nation First Line: With songs and honors sounding loud Lyrics:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
He sends his showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
He gives the grazing ox his meat,
He hears the raven's cry;
But man, who tastes his finest wheat,
Should raise his honors high.
His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
When from the dreadful stores on high
He pours the rattling hail,
The wretch that dares this God defy
Shall find his courage fail.
He sends his word, and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

A Prayer for the promised Rest
Author: R. Hill Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXVI (1792) Topics: Peace of the nation prayed for First Line: Dear friend of friendless sinners, hear Lyrics: 1 Dear friend of friendless sinners, hear,
And magnify thy grace divine;
Pardon a worm that would draw near,
That would his heart to thee resign:
A worm, by self and sin opprest
That pants to reach thy promis'd rest.
2 With holy fear, and reverend love,
I long to lie beneath thy throne;
I long in thee to live, and move,
And stay myself on thee alone:
Teach me to lean upon thy breast,
To find in thee the promis'd rest.
3 Thou say'st thou wilt thy servants keep
In perfect peace, whose minds shall be
Like new-born babes, or helpless sheep,
Completely stay'd, dear Lord on thee:
How calm their state, how truly blest,
Who trust on thee the promis'd rest!
4 Take me, my Savior, as thine own,
And vindicate my righteous cause;
Be thou my portion, Lord, alone;
And bend me to obey thy laws;
In thy dear arms of love caress'd,
Give me to find thy promis'd rest.
5 Bid the tempestuous rage of sin,
With all its wrathful fury die;
Let the Redeemer dwell within,
And turn my sorrows into joy;
O may my heart, by thee possess'd,
Know thee to be my promis'd rest. Languages: English
A Prayer for the promised Rest
Great is the Lord our God
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XLVIII.I (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Church is the Honour and Safety of a Nation Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great;
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 Those temples of his grace,
How beautiful they stand?
The honours of our native place,
And bulwarks of our land.
3 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has his salvation shone,
How fair his heav'nly grace?
4 When kings against her join'd,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild confusion of the mind
They fled with hasty fear.
5 When navies tall and proud
Attempt to spoil our peace,
He sends his tempest roaring loud,
And sinks them in the seas.
6 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold
Where his own sheep have been.
7 In ev'ry new distress
We’ll to his house repair,
Recall to mind his wond'rous grace,
And seek deliv'rance there. Scripture: Psalm 48:1-7 Languages: English
Great is the Lord our God

Author: William Whiting Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #14 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Nation Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
who bids the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
upon the waters dark and rude,
and bid their angry tumult cease,
and give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
Your children shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

In the Day of Need
Author: Christopher M. Idle Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #20 (1987) Meter: 12.9.12.11 Topics: Nation First Line: In the day of need may your answer be the LORD Lyrics: 1 In the day of need may your answer be the LORD;
may the God of Jacob strengthen you.
May he send you help from his high and holy place,
and support you for the glory of his name.
2 May the LORD God grant you success in all your plans;
may he give you all your heart's desire.
May we sing for joy when we see the battle won,
when the LORD has heard and answered every prayer.
3 Now I know that God will encourage those he loves;
he will hear and answer from on high.
Not a word shall fail of the promise he has made,
nor the works of his victorious right hand.
4 There are some who boast of the weapons of the world,
but the power of God is all our pride.
Those who arm for war shall one day collapse and fall,
but God's people stand and in their King prevail.
