Praise ye the LORD, our GOD to praise

Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the LORD, our GOD to praise, My Soul her utmost Pow'r shall raise; With private Friends, and in the Throng Of Saints, his Praise shall be my Song: Great are his Works, and sought aright By those, who in them take Delight. 2 His Works are all of matchless Fame, And universal Glory claim; His Truth, confirm'd, through Ages past, Shall to eternal Ages last. The gracious LORD hath us enjoin'd, To keep his wond'rous Works in Mind. 3 His Bounty, like a flowing Tide, Has all his Servants Wants supply'd; And he will ever keep in Mind, His Cov'nant with our Fathers sign'd: For us he did his Pow'r display, To us the Heathen Lands convey. 4 Just are the Dealings of his Hands, Immutable are his Commands; He set his Saints from Bondage free, And then establish'd his Decree, For ever to remain the same; Holy and Rev'rend is his Name! 5 Who Wisdom's sacred Prize would win, Must with the Fear of GOD begin; Good Understanding, heav'nly Skill Have they, who know and do his Will: The Praise thereof is fixed sure, And shall for evermore endure. Topics: Description of Glory of the Law; Songs of Praise to God his Covenant of Grace with his Church; Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence; Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Scripture: Psalm 111 Used With Tune: [Praise ye the Lord, our God to praise]

Give Ear, thou Judge of all the Earth

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Give Ear, thou Judge of all the Earth, And listen when to thee I pray; Nor from thy humble Suppliant turn, Thy glorious Face, O LORD, away; Do thou bow down thy gracious Ear, Whilst I my mournful Case declare. 2 Hark, how the Foe insults aloud, And how my fierce Oppressors rage; Whose sland'ring Tongues against my Fame, With growing Malice still engage. My Soul's with trembling Fears distress'd, My Heart with Horror quite oppress'd. 3 How often wish I then, that I The Dove's swift soaring Wings could get; That I might take my speedy Flight, And find out some secure Retreat: Then would I through wild Desarts stray, 'Till this fierce Storm had pass'd away. 4 Destroy, O LORD, their ill Designs, Do thou their Counsels soon divide; For through the City my griev'd Eyes, Have nought but Strife and Rapine spy'd: Within her Walls they walk their round, Where Grief and Mischief still is found. 5 Whoe'er through every Part shall roam, Shall ever fresh Disorders meet; Deceit and Guile their constant Posts, Have still maintain'd in ev'ry Street: Daily their wicked Plots encrease, Their treach'rous Actions never cease. 6 'Twas not my open Foe profess'd Who these severe Reflections made; For then I could with Ease have borne, The many bitter Things he said: And when he did against me rise, Have hid from his malicious Eyes. 7 But 'twas ev'n thou, my Guide my Friend, Whom tend'rest Love to me did join; Whose sweet Advice I valued most, Whose Pray'rs were always mix'd with mine: Ev'n thou, whose Converse I approv'd, My Bosom Friend, whom most I lov'd. 8 Sure Vengeance, equal to their Crimes, Such faithless Traitors must surprise; And sudden Death requite those Ills, Which they with wickedly Hearts devise: But GOD shall in my Aid appear, And Night and Day my Voice shall hear. 9 GOD has releas'd my Soul from those, That did against my Life contend; And made a num'rous Host of Friends, At length my righteous Cause defend: The LORD my mournful Voice shall hear, And punish those who know no Fear. 10 Whom can I trust, if faithless Men, With secret Treachery devise To ruin me, their peaceful Friend, And basely break the strongest Ties: 21 Tho' soft and melting are their Words, Their Hearts with War and Strife abound, Their Words though smooth like Daggers wound. and yet like Swords they wound. 11 Do thou, my Soul, on GOD depend, And he shall thy Life sustain; He aids the Just, whom to supplant, The Wicked ever strive in vain: My Foes shall all untimely die; Whilst I for Health on GOD rely.

Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways, I strove to keep my Tongue in Awe; And curb'd with Care, my hasty Words, When I the prosp'rous wicked saw; From good Discourse I did refrain, But that increas'd my inward Pain. 2 My Heart did glow, which working Thoughts, Did in my Bosom restless make; And warm Reflection fann'd the Fire, 'Till with my Tongue at last I spake: And thus with eager Zeal express'd, The Thought that labor'd in my Breast. 3 LORD, let me know my Term of Days, And show how soon my Life will end; The num'rous Train of Ills disclose, Which still on this frail State attend: A Span will measure all my Years, My Life but Vanity appears. 4 Man, like a Shadow, vainly walks, With fruitless Cares opprest; He heaps up Wealth, but cannot tell, By whom 'twill be possess'd' Why should I then on Toys attend, My Hopes on thee shall still depend. Part II 5 Forgive my Sins, nor let me scorn'd, By proud disdainful Sinners, be; I silent was, and murmur'd not, Because I saw 'twas done by thee. The Burden of thy Wrath remove, Lest my frail Flesh too weak should prove. 6 For when thou chast'nest Man for Sin, Thou mak'st his Beauty soon to fade; It wastes away ev'n like a Cloth, That is by fretting Moths decay'd: So vain in ev'ry earthly Joy, And Life itself is but a Toy. 7 LORD, hear my Cry, accept my Tears, And listen to my humble Pray'r, Who sojourn like a Stranger here, As all my Fore-fathers likewise were. Oh spare me, and my Strength restore, Before I shall be seen no more! Topics: Description of Misery and Vanity of human Life; Prayers Of the Church Particularly of Believers when offended at the Prosperity of the Wicked; Prayers When percecuted; Prayers When sick; Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: [Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways]
