Let God Arise, and by His Might

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Blue) #122 (1976) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Idolatry Lyrics: 1 Let God arise, and by His might Let all His foes be put to to flight; But O ye righteous, gladly sing, Exult before your God and King. 2 Jehovah's praises sound abroad, Rejoice before the living God; Prepare the way that He may come And make the desert places bloom. 3 A Father of the fatherless, A Judge of widows in distress, Is God, the God of boundless grace, Who dwells within His holy place. 4 God frees the captive and He sends The blessedness of home and friends, And only those in darkness stay Who will not trust Him and obey. 5 O Zion, 'tis thy God's command That thou in strength securely stand; O God, confirm and strengthen still, Thy purposes in us fulfill. 6 O Thou, whose glorious temple stands In Zion, famed through heathen lands, Kings shall Thy power and glory see, And bring their presents unto Thee. 7 Thou wilt rebuke the fierce and strong Who hate the right and choose the wrong, And scatter those who peace abhor, The nations that delight in war. 8 The heathen princes yet shall flee From idols and return to Thee; Earth's sinful and benighted lands To God shall soon stretch out their hands. Scripture: Psalm 68 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

An Importunate Prayer

Hymnal: The Psalter #123 (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Idolatry First Line: If we have forgotten the Name of our God Refrain First Line: Rise, help, and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust Lyrics: 1 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, Or unto an idol our hands spread abroad, Shall not the Almighty uncover this sin? He knows all our hearts and the secrets within. Chorus: Rise, help and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust; Rise, help and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust. 2 We all the day long for Thy sake are consumed, Defeated and helpless, to death we are doomed; They why dost Thou tarry? Jehovah, awake, Nor spurn us for ever; arise for our sake. [Chorus] 3 O why art Thou hiding the light of Thy face, Forgetting our burden of grief and disgrace? Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust; Rise, help and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust. [Chorus] Scripture: Psalm 44 Languages: English Tune Title: MAGNUS

Great is the Lord, exalted high

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P135b (1766) Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high Above all Pow'rs, and every Throne; Whate'er he please in Earth or Sea, Or Heav'n, or Hell, his Hand hath done. 2 At his Command the Vapours rise, The Lightnings flash, the Thunders roar; He pours the Rain, he brings the Wind And Tempest from his airy Store. 3 'Twas he those dreadful Tokens sent, O Egypt, through thy stubborn Land; When all thy first-born, Beasts and Men, Fell dead by his avenging Hand. 4 What mighty Nations, mighty Kings, He slew, and their whole Country gave To Isr'el, whom his Hand redeem'd, No more to be proud Pharaoh's Slave! 5 His Pow'r the same, the same his Grace, That saves us from the Hosts of Hell; And Heav'n he gives us to possess, Whence those apostate Angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12 Languages: English

Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P135c (1766) Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King Your sweetest Passions raise, Your pious Pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the Praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and Works unknown Are his divine Employ; But still his Saints are near his Throne, His Treasure and his Joy. 3 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea confess his Hand; He bids the Vapours rise; Lightning and Storm at his Command Sweep through the sounding Skies. 4 All Pow'r that Gods or Kings have claim'd Is found with him alone; But Heathen Gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the Stocks or Stones they trust Can give them Show'rs of Rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their Eyes, their Ears are deaf, Nor hear when Mortals pray; Mortals, that wait for their Relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O, Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there. Scripture: Psalm 135 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #139 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: Let them neglect thy glory, Lord, Who never knew thy grace; But our loud songs shall still record The wonders of thy praise. We raise our shouts, O God, to thee, And send them to thy throne; All glory to th' united Three, The undivided One. 'Twas he (and we'll adore his name) That formed us by a word; 'Tis he restores our ruined frame: Salvation to the Lord! Hosannah! let the earth and skies Repeat the joyful sound Rocks, hills, and vales, reflect the voice In one eternal round. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English
