Psalm 89 Part 6

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.188 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Gospel joyful sound First Line: Remember, Lord, our mortal state Lyrics: Remember, Lord, our mortal state, How frail our life! how short the date! Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death'? Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and sense repine and cry, "Must death for ever rage and reign? Or hast thou made mankind in vain? "Where is thy promise to the just? Are not thy servants turned to dust?" But faith forbids these mournful sighs, And sees the sleeping dust arise. That glorious hour, that dreadful day, Wipes the reproach of saints away, And clears the honor of thy word: Awake, our souls, and bless the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52 Languages: English

Short from the cradle to the grave Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death, With skill to fly, or power to save? Lord, shall it be for ever said, "The race of man was only made For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? Hast thou not promised to thy Son And all his seed a heav'nly crown? But flesh and sense indulge despair: For ever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward For all their toil, reproach, and pain: Let all below and all above Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen.

Straphan Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXXXV (1792) Topics: Happiness and joys of heaven First Line: On wings of faith, mount up my soul and rise Lyrics: 1 On wings of faith, mount up my soul and rise, View thine inheritance beyond the skies: Nor heart can think, nor mortal tongue can tell, What endless pleasures in those mansions dwell; Here our redeemer lives, all bright and glorious, O'er sin and death and hell, he reigns victorious. 2 No gnawing grief, no sad heart-rending pain, In that blest country can admission gain; No sorrow there, no soul-tormenting fear; For God's own hand shall wipe the falling tear. Here our redeemer lives, all bright and glorious; O'er sin and death and hell, he reigns victorious. 3 Before the throne a crystal river glides, Immortal verdure decks its cheerful sides: Here the fair tree of life majestic rears Its blooming head, and sovereign virtue bears Here our redeemer lives, all bright and glorious; O'er sin and death and hell, he reigns victorious. 4 No rising sun his needless beams display, No sickly moon emits her feeble rays: The godhead here celestial glory sheds, Th' exalted lamb eternal radiance spreads, Here our redeemer lives, all bright and glorious; O'er sin and death and hell, he reigns victorious. 5 One distant glimpse my eager passion fires! Jesus, to thee my longing soul aspires! When shall I at my heavenly home arrive, When leave this earth, and when begin to live? For here my Savior is all bright and glorious, O'er sin and death and hell, he reigns victorious. Languages: English

The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCVIII (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Weeping Seed-time, joyful Harvest Lyrics: 1 The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers! Troubled with storms, and big with showers; No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of grace revive, God bids the soul that seeks him live; And from the gloomiest shade of night Calls forth a morning of delight. 3 The seeds of extasy unknown Are in these water'd furrows sown; See the green blades how thick they rise, And with fresh verdure bless our eyes. 4 In secret foldings they contain Unnumber'd ears of golden grain; And heav'n shall pour its beams around, Till the ripe harvest load the ground. 5 Then shall the trembling mourner come, And bind his sheaves, and bring them home; The voice long broke with sighs, shall sing, Till heav'n with Hallelujahs ring.

The sacred truths his lips pronounce Shall firm as heav'n endure; And if he speak a promise once, Th' eternal grace is sure. How long the race of David held The promised Jewish throne! But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed To David's greater Son. His seed for ever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subject of his grace Shall to that glory rise. Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honors raise To thy unchanging love. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English
