Praise and Confession

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Sea First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength he came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine.

Corrections for Sin, and release by Prayer

Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: 1 From age to age exalt his name, God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with every good. 2 But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heavenly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord: 3 He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliverance shall be found; Laden with grief they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries, He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. 5 He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling prisoners through Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the labouring soul relief. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies From luxury and lust arise! 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste; Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sovereign word, and heals. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offering prove How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the wither'd mountains green, Send showery blessings from the skies; And harvests in the desert rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' opprest and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in, A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barbarous hands. 6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns: Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] 8 The righteous with a joyful sense Admire the works of providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more, Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107

Appears in 224 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. 3 He form'd the stars, those heav'nly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names, His sovereign wisdom knows no bound, A deep where all great thoughts are drown'd. 4 Great is the Lord, and great his might; And all his glories infinite: He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. Pause. 5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 6 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And feeds the ravens when they cry. 7 What is the creature's skill or force? The vigorous man, the warlike horse, The sprightly wit, the active limb All are too mean delights for him. 8 But saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And finds and loves his image there. Scripture: Psalm 147
