Ye humble souls that use to pray, Come, help my lips to praise. 2 Sing to the honuor of his name, How a poor sufferer cried, Nor was his hope expos'd to shame, Nor was his suit denied. 3 When threatening sorrows round me stood, And endless fears arose, Like the loud billows of a flood, Redoubling all my woes. 4 I told the Lord my sore distress, With heavy groans and tears; He gave my sharpest torments ease, And silenc'd all my fears. Pause. 5 [Oh sinners, come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways, And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. 6 He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell; What ills their heavenly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] 7 [Oh love the Lord, ye saints of his; His eye regards the just. How richly bless'd their portion is, Who make the Lord their trust! 8 Young lions pinch'd with hunger roar, And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10

Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22

And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke, and satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous 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 powerful hand, And brings us to the heavenly land. 8 Oh let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107

How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107

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

'Till God commands, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 3 Now to the heavens they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a staggering drunkard reel. 4 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. 5 He bids the winds their wrath assuage, And stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er, And hail with joy their native shore. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private offerings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107

The men astonish'd mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. 3 [Again they climb the watery hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tottering drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with fluttering breath; And hopeless of the distant shore Expect immediate death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He hears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storms allay'd; Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 7 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. 8 Oh that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record. Scripture: Psalm 107

But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107

Scripture: Psalm 142
