Psalm 39 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.90 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation First Line: Thus I resolved before the Lord Lyrics: Thus I resolved before the Lord,- "Now will I watch my tongue; Lest I let slip one sinful word, Or do my neighbor wrong." And if I'm e'er constrained to stay With men of lives profane, I'll set a double guard that day, Nor let my talk be vain. I'll scarce allow my lips to speak The pious thoughts I feel, Lest scoffers should th' occasion take To mock my holy zeal. Yet if some proper hour appear, I'll not be overawed, But let the scoffing sinners hear That I can speak for God. Scripture: Psalm 39:1-3 Languages: English

Psalm 39 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.91 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation First Line: Teach me the measure of my days Lyrics: Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame; I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time; Man is but vanity and dust In all his flower and prime. See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o'er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. Some walk in honor's gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore; They toil for heirs, they know not who, And straight are seen no more. What should I wish or wait for, then, From creatures earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7 Languages: English

Psalm 39 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.92 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation First Line: God of my life, look gently down Lyrics: God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I'll not attempt a murm'ring word Against thy chast'ning hand. Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. Crushed as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. [This mortal life decays apace, How soon the bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous race Are vanity and smoke.] I'm but a sojourner below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear. But if my life be spared awhile, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13 Languages: English

Psalm 123

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.288 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation First Line: O thou whose grace and justice reign Lyrics: O thou whose grace and justice reign Enthroned above the skies, To thee our hearts would tell their pain, To thee we lift our eyes. As servants watch their master's hand, And fear the angry stroke; Or maids before their mistress stand, And wait a peaceful look; So for our sins we justly feel Thy discipline, O God; Yet wait the gracious moment still, Till thou remove thy rod. Those that in wealth and pleasure live, Our daily groans deride, And thy delays of mercy give Fresh courage to their pride. Our foes insult us, but our hope In thy compassion lies; This thought shall bear our spirits up, That God will not despise. Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCIII (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Strength of his People Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone! Awake and run the heav'nly race, And put a cheerful courage on! 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint: 3 The mighty God, whose matchless pow'r, Is ever new and ever young; And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From him, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a large supply; While such as seek refreshing draughts From mortal streams, shall droop and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to his abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

Dear Refuge of my weary Soul

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LX (1791) Topics: Resignation to Providence Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On thee when Sorrows rise; On thee, when Waves of Trouble roll, My fainting Hope relies. 2 While Hope revives, tho' press'd with Fears, And I can say, "My God," Beneath thy Feet I spread my Cares, And pour my Woes abroad. 3 To thee I tell each rising Grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet Relief, For ev'ry Pain I feel. 4 But oh! when gloomy Doubts prevail I fear to call thee mine; The Springs of comfort seem to fail And all my Hopes decline. 5 Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only Trust; And still my Soul wou'd cleave to thee, Tho' prostrate in the Dust. 6 Hast thou not bid me seek thy Face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the Ear of Sov'reign Grace Be deaf when I complain? 7 No, still the Ear of Sov'reign Grace Attends the mourner's Prayer; O may I ever find Access, To Breathe my Sorrows there. 8 Thy Mercy-Seat is open still; Here let my Soul retreat, With humble Hope attend thy Will, And wait beneath thy Feet.
