In Vision to His Saints God Spake

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 2 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And nevermore My grace remove. Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his power and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 3 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My firstborn son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain. 4 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove. Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake. 5 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away. On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down. 6 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway. Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 7 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 8 I sing of mercies that endure Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies. Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

O Give the Lord Whole-Hearted Praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O give the Lord whole-hearted praise; To Him thanksgiving I will bring; With all His people I will raise My voice and of His glory sing. His saints delight to search and trace His mighty works and wondrous ways; Majestic glory, boundless grace And righteousness His work displays. 2 The wondrous works that God has wrought His people ever keep in mind, His works with grace and mercy fraught, Revealing that the Lord is kind. God's promise shall forever stand, He cares for those who trust His word; Upon His saints His mighty hand The wealth of nations has conferred. 3 His works are true and just indeed, His precepts are forever sure; In truth and righteousness decreed They shall forevermore endure. God's promise shall forever stand, He cares for those who trust His word; Upon His saints His mighty hand The wealth of nations has conferred. 4 In rev'rence and in godly fear Man finds the gate to wisdom's ways; The wise His holy Name revere. Thro' endless ages sound His praise. From Him His saints' redemption came; His covenant sure no change can know; Let all revere His holy Name, In heav'n above and earth below.

God Saved His People from Distress

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #130 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 God saved His people from distress And led them through the wilderness; Then mountains trembled in their place, The heavens were bowed before His face. With copious showers Thou didst assuage The thirsting of Thy heritage; Thy congregation dwelt secure; Thou, God, art gracious to the poor. 2 The Lord sent forth His mighty word, And shouts of victory were heard; The women came, a mighty throng, To join the glad triumphant song. When God His chosen people led, The kings and armies turned and fled; The hosts of God victorious fought, And home their spoils and trophies brought. 3 God's people rested, free from care, In glorious peace and beauty fair; Their mighty King did overthrow The hostile kings like driven snow. All mountains unto God belong, But Zion's holy mountains strong Above them all the Lord loves well, And there He will forever dwell. 4 Great hosts to holy wars have trod, The armies of the living God; Among them He reveals His face, The God of justice and of grace. Thou hast ascended up on high And captive led captivity; They come with gifts who did rebel, That with them God the Lord might dwell. 5 Blest be the Lord! for us He cares And daily all our burden bears; Our God is mighty, strong to save; Jehovah frees us from the grave. God's unrelenting enemies No peace shall find in earth or seas; His people shall triumphant go, Victorious over every foe. 6 With glorious pomp our King and God Has entered into His abode With sacred minstrelsy and song, While maidens with their timbrels throng. Assemble ye before His face, All ye that spring from Israel’s race; Ye chosen tribes, with one accord Come ye, and bless your God, the Lord.
