Psalm 107 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Give thanks to God; he reigns above Lyrics: Give thanks to God; he reigns above; Kind are his thoughts, his name is Love; His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Isr'el, the nation whom he chose, And rescued from their mighty foes. [When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They traced the desert, wand'ring round A wild and solitary ground. There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fixed abode; Nor food, nor fountain, to assuage Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.] In their distress, to God they cried God was their Savior and their Guide; He led their march far wand'ring round, 'Twas the right path to Canaan's ground. 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. 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 heav'nly land. O 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.

Psalm 107 Part 4

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, Thy wonders in the deeps, The sons of courage shall record Who trade in floating ships. At thy command the winds arise, And swell the towering waves; The men astonished mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. [Again they climb the wat'ry hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring breath; And hopeless of the distant shore, Expect immediate death.] Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He bears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storm allayed: Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. O that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, Go with the mariners, and trace The unknown regions of the seas. They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favor of the wind; Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. Now to the heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! 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. He bids the winds their wrath assuage, The furious waves forget their rage; 'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see The haven where they wished to be. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: From age to age exalt his name; God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with every good. But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heav'nly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with grief, they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling pris'ners through; Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the lab'ring soul relief. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Psalm 107 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies, From luxury and lust arise! The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. The glutton groans, and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads oppressed, Would yield to death to be released. Then how the frighted sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 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. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's love Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Weather; Israel saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Providence recorded; Church restored by prayer; Israel punished and pardoned; Saints conducted to heaven; Saints punished and pardoned; Colonies Planted; Deliverance from shipwreck; Drunkard and glutton; Glutton and drunkard; Intemperance and pardoned; Israel travels in the wilderness; Luxury pardoned; Mariner's psalm; Mercies recorded; Nation's blest and punished; New England psalm; Psalm for gluttons and drunkards; Psalm for mariners; Psalm for New England; Seamen's song; Shipwreck prevented

Psalm 107 Last Part

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: When God, provoked with daring crimes Lyrics: When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. Thus they are blessed; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn; The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns; Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind.

To God your grateful Voices raise

Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 To God your grateful Voices raise, Who does your daily Patron prove: And let your never-ceasing Praise Attend on his eternal Love. 2,3 Let those give Thanks whom he from Bands Of proud oppressing foes releas'd; And brought them back from distant lands, From North and South, and West and East. 4,5 Through lonely desart Ways they went, Nor cou'd a peopled City find; 'Till quite with Thirst and Hunger spent, Their fainting soul within them pin'd. 6 Then soon to God's indulgent Ear Did they their mournful Cry address; Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear, And freed them from their deep Distress. 7 From crooked Paths he led them forth, And in the certain Way did guide, To wealthy Towns of great Resort, Where all their Wants were well supply'd. 8 O then that all the Earth, with me, Would God for this his Goodness praise! And for the mighty works which he Throughout the wond'ring World displays! 9 For he from Heav'n the sad Estate Of longing souls with Pity views; To hungry souls that pant for Meat, His Goodness daily Food renews. Part II 10 Some lie, with Darkness compass'd round, In Death's uncomfortable shade; And with unweildy Fetters bound, By pressing Cares more heavy made. 11,12 Because God's Counsel they defy'd, And lightly priz'd his holy word, With these Afflictions they were try'd: They fell, and none could Help afford. 13 Then soon to God's indulgent Ear Did they their mournful Cry address; Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear, And freed them from their deep Distress. 14 From dismal Dungeons, dark as Night. And Shades as black as Death's Abode, He brought them forth to chearful Light, And welcome Liberty bestow'd. 15 O then that all the Earth, with me, Would God for this his Goodness praise! And for the mighty works which he Throughout the wond'ring World displays! 16 For he with his almighty Hand, The Gates of Brass in Pieces broke; Nor cou'd the massy Bars withstand, Or temper'd Steel resist his Stroke. Part III 17 Remorseless Wretches, void of Sense, With bold Transgressions God defy; And for their multiply'd Offence, Oppress'd with sore Diseases lie: 18 Their soul, a Prey to Pain and Fear, Abhors to taste the choicest Meats; And they by faint Degrees draw near To Death's inhospitable Gates. 19 Then straight to God's indulgent Ear, Do they their mournful Cry address; Who graciously vouchsafes to hear, And frees them from their deep Distress. 20 He all their sad Distempers heals, His Word both Health and Safety gives; And when all human Succour fails, From near Destruction them retrieves. 21 O then that all the Earth, with me would God for this his Goodness praise! And for the mighty Works which he Throughout the wond'ring World displays! 22 With Off'rings let his Altar flame, Whilst they their grateful Thanks express, And with loud Joy his holy Name for all his Acts of Wonder bless? Part IV 23,24 They that in Ships, with Courage bold, O'er swelling Waves their Trade pursue, Do God's amazing works behold, And in the Deep his Wonders view. 25 No sooner his Command is past, But forth the dreadful Tempest flies, Which sweeps the Sea with rapid Haste, And makes the stormy Billows rise. 26 Sometimes the Ships, toss'd up to heav'n, On tops of mountain Waves appear; Then down the steep Abyss are driv'n, Whilst ev'ry soul dissolves with Fear. 27 They reel and stagger to and fro, Like Men with fumes of Wine oppress'd; Nor do the skilful Seamen know Which Way to steer, what Course is best. 28 Then straight to God's indulgent Ear They do their mournful Cry address; Who graciously vouchsafes to hear, And frees them from their deep Distress. 29,30 He does the raging Storm appease, And makes the Billows calm and still; With Joy they see their Fury cease, And their intended Course fulfil. 31 O then that all the Earth, with me, Would God for this his Goodness praise! And for the mighty Works which he Throughout the wond'ring world displays! 32 Let them, where all the Tribes resort, Advance to Heav'n his glorious Name, And in the Elders sov'reign Court With one Consent his Praise proclaim! Part V 33,34 A fruitful Land, where Streams abound, God's just Revenge, if People sin, Will turn to dry and barren Ground, To punish those that dwell therein. 35,36 The parch'd and desart Heath he makes To flow with Streams and springing Wells, Which for his Lot the Hungry takes, And in strong Cities safely dwells. 37,38 he sows the Field, the Vineyard plants, which gratefully his Toil repay; Nor can, whilst God his Blessing grants, His fruitful Seed or Stock decay. 29 But when his Sins Heav'n's Wrath provoke, His Health and Substance fade away; He feels th' Oppressor's gauling Yoke, And is of Grief the wretched Prey. 40 The prince that slights what God commands, Expos'd to Scorn, must quit his Throne; And over wild and desart lands, Where no path offers, stray alone. 41 Whilst God, from all afflicting Cares, Sets up the humble Man on high; And makes in time his num'rous Heirs With his increasing Flocks to vie. 42,43 Then Sinners shall have nought to say, The Just a decent Joy shall show; The Wise these strange Events shall weigh, And thence God's Goodness fully know.

Hymn 70

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:23 First Line: God of the seas! thy thund'ring voice Lyrics: God of the seas! thy thund'ring voice Makes all the roaring waves rejoice, And one soft word of thy command Can sink them silent in the sand. If but a Moses wave thy rod, The sea divides and owns its God; The stormy floods their Maker knew, And let his chosen armies through. The scaly flocks amidst the sea, To thee, their Lord, a tribute pay; The meanest fish that swims the flood Leaps up, and means a praise to God. [The larger monsters of the deep On thy commands attendance keep; By thy permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming way. If God his voice of tempest rears, Leviathan lies still and fears; Anon he lifts his nostrils high, And spouts the ocean to the sky.] How is thy glorious power adored Amidst these wat'ry nations, Lord! Yet the bold men that trace the seas, Bold men, refuse their Maker's praise! [What scenes of miracles they see, And never tune a song to thee! While on the flood they safely ride, They curse the hand that smooths the tide! Anon they plunge in wat'ry graves, And some drink death among the waves; Yet the surviving crew blaspheme, Nor own the God that rescued them.] O for some signal of thine hand! Shake all the seas, Lord, shake the land; Great Judge! descend, lest men deny That there's a God that rules the sky.

They that in ships, with courage bold

Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 They that in ships, with courage bold, O'er swelling waves their trade pursue, Do God's amazing works behold, And in the deep his wonders view! 2 No sooner his command is past, But forth the dreadful tempest flies, Which sweeps the sea with rapid blast, And makes the stormy billows rise. 3 Sometimes the ships, toss'd up to heav'n, On tops of mountain waves appear; Then down the steep abyss are driv'n, Whilst ev'ry soul dissolves with fear. 4 They reel and stagger to and fro, Like men with fumes of wine opprest; Nor do the skilful seamen know Which Way to steer, what course is best. 5 Then strait to God's indulgent ear They do their mournful cry address, Who graciously vouchsafes to hear, And frees them from their deep distress. 6 He does the raging storm appease, And makes the billows calm and still; With joy they see their fury cease, And their intended course fulfil. 7 O then that all the earth, with me, Would God for this his goodness praise! And for the mighty works which he Thro' all the wond'ring world displays! Topics: Psalms of Thanksgiving Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version

How good and kind is he whose tender mercy shall endure through all eternity. Let God's redeemed repeat these words and give him thanks and praise who rescued them from hostile hands, preserved them all their days. 2 He gathered them from out the lands, from north, south, east, and west. They strayed in desert's pathless way, no city found to rest. Their weary soul within then faints when thirst and hunger press; in trouble then they cried to God; he saved them from distress. 3 He made the way before them straight, and he became their guide, that they might to a city go wherein they might abide. Let all the children of the Lord now praise him for his grace, and for the works of wonder done in every time and place!
