Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXXb (1785) First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics: 1 From deep distress and troubled thoughts, To thee, my GOD, I rais'd my cries: If thou severely mark our faults, No flesh can stand before thine eyes. 2 But thou hast built thy throne of grace Free to dispense thy pardons there, That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love, as well as fear. 3 As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long and wish for breaking day, So waits my soul before thy gate; When will my GOD his face display! 4 My trust is fix'd upon thy word, Nor shall I trust thy word in vain: Let mourning Souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain. 5 Great is his love, and large his grace, Thro' the redemption of his Son: He turns our feet from sinful ways, And pardons what our hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Prayer for national deliverance

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #LIX (1785) First Line: From foes, that round us rise Lyrics: 1 From foes, that round us rise, O GOD of heaven, defend, Who brave the vengeance of the skies, And with thy saints contend. 2 Behold, from distant shores, And desert wilds they come, Combine for blood their barbarous force, And through thy cities roam. 3 Beneath the silent shade, Their sacred plots they lay, Our peaceful walls by night invade, And waste the fields by day. 4 And will the GOD of grace, Regardless of our pain, Permit secure that impious race, To riot in their reign? 5 In vain their secret guile, Or open force they prove; His eye can pierce the deepest veil, His hand their strength remove. 6 Yet save them, Lord, from death, Lest we forget their doom; But drive them with thine angry breath, Through distant lands to roam. 7 Then shall our grateful voice Proclaim our guardian GOD; The nations round the earth rejoice, And sound the praise abroad. Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIIa (1785) First Line: Give thanks to God, he reigns above Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Israel, the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes. 3 [When GOD's Almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They trac'd the desert, wandering round; A wild and solitary ground! 4 There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fixed abode; Nor food, nor fountain, to asswage Their burning thirst or hunger's rage.] 5 In their distress to God they cry'd GOD was their Saviour and their guide; He led their wandering march around: 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 Languages: English

God's Conduct of Israel, and the Plagues of Egypt

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CV (1785) First Line: Give thanks to God, invoke his name Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to GOD, invoke his name, And tell the world his grace; Sound through the earth his deeds of fame, That all may seek his face. 2 His covenant which he kept in mind For numerous ages past, To numerous ages yet behind In equal force shall last. 3 He swore to Abraham and his seed, And made the blessings sure: Gentiles the ancient promise read, And find his truth endure. 4 "Thy seed shall make all nations blest, (Said the Almighty voice) "And Canaan's land shall be their rest, "The type of heavenly joys. 5 [How large the grant! how rich the grace! To give them Canaan's land, When they were strangers in the place, A small and feeble band! 6 Like pilgrims through the countries round Securely they remov'd: And haughty kings that on them frown'd Severely he reprov'd. 7 "Touch mine anointed, and mine arm "Shall soon avenge the wrong: "The man that does my prophets harm Shall know their GOD is strong." 8 Then let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care. Pause I. 9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints, And thus provok'd their GOD, Moses was sent at their complaints, Arm'd with his dreadful rod. 10 He call'd for darkness: darkness came Like an o'erwhelming flood; He turn'd each lake and every stream To lakes and streams of blood. 11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies Thro' the whole country spread; And frogs in baleful armies rise About the monarch's bed. 12 Thro' fields, and towns, and palaces The tenfold vengeance flew; Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees And hail their cattle slew. 13 Then by an Angel's midnight stroke The flower of Egypt dy'd; The strength of every house was broke, Their glory and their pride. 14 Now let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care. Pause II. 15 Thus were the tribes from bondage freed, And left the hated ground; Rich with Egyptian spoils they fled, Nor was one feeble found. 16 The Lord himself chose out their way, And mark'd their journeys right, Gave them a leading cloud by day, A fiery guide by night. 17 They thirst; and waters from the rock In rich abundance flow, And following still the course they took Ran all the desert through. 18 O wondrous stream! O blessed type Of ever-flowing grace! So Christ our rock maintains our life And aids our wandering race. 19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand, The chosen tribes possest Canaan the rich, the promis'd land, And there enjoy'd their rest. 20 Then let the world forbear its rage, The church renounce her fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care. Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English

His power and grace Are still the same; And let his name Have endless praise.] 8 He saw the nations lie All perishing in sin, And pity'd the sad state The ruin'd world was in. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy word. 9 He sent his only Son To save us from our woe, From Satan, sin, and death, And every hurtful foe. His power and grace Are still the same; And let his name Have endless praise. 10 Give thanks aloud to God, To GOD the heavenly king: And let the spacious earth His works and glories sing. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy word. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English

How boundless was his love! 9 He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death and hell, and every foe; And still his grace prevails. 10 Give thanks to God the heavenly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth his praises sing; His truth is ever sure.

Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CVIb (1785) First Line: God of eternal love Lyrics: 1 God of eternal love, How fickle are our ways! And yet how oft did Israel prove Thy constancy of grace! 2 They saw thy wonders wrought, And then thy praise they sung; But soon thy works of power forgot, And murmur'd with their tongue. 3 Now they believe his word, While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 4 Yet when they mourn'd their faults, He hearken'd to their groans; Brought his own covenant to his thoughts, And call'd them still his sons. 5 Their names were in his book, He sav'd them from their foes; Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The people that he chose. 6 Let Israel bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient race; And Christians join the solemn word, Amen to all the praise.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CIX (1785) First Line: God of mercy and my praise Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' Sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy son on earth was found; With cruel slanders false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And blest his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul a-kin to thine, To love mine enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage, Who slander and condemn.

The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English

Great God attend to my complaint

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #LXIV (1785) Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, attend to my complaint, Nor let my drooping spirit faint; When foes in secret spread the snare, Let my salvation be thy care. 2 Shield me without and guard within, From treacherous foes and deadly sin; May envy, lust, and pride depart, And heavenly grace expand my heart. 3 Thy justice and thy power display, And scatter far thy foes away; While listening nations learn thy word, And saints triumphant bless the Lord. 4 Than shall thy church exalt her voice, And all that love thy name rejoice; By faith approach thine awful throne, And plead the merits of thy Son.

Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punish'd and Saints saved

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #LXXVIIId (1785) First Line: Great GOD, how oft did Israel prove Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Israel prove By turns thine anger, and thy love? There is a glass our hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful wonders GOD had wrought? Then they provoke him to his face, Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain, And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march thro' unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days. 4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their prayers and vows before him rise As flattering words or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to his cov'nant and his love. 6 Yet could his sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserv'd to live; His anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their flesh was weak and frail, He saw temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abraham lov'd them still, And led them to his holy hill. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English
