To thee, O Lord, I raise my cries

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 28 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, I raise my cries; My fervent pray'r in mercy hear; For ruin waits my trembling soul, If thou refuse a gracious ear. 2 When suppliant tow'rd thy holy hill, I left my mournful hands to pray, Afford thy grace, nor drive me still, With impious hypocrites away. 3 To sons of falsehood, that despise The works and wonders of thy reign, Thy vengeance give the due reward, And sinks their souls to endless pain. 4 But, ever blessed by the Lord, Whose mercy hears my mournful voice, My heart, that trusted in his word, In his salvation shall rejoice. 5 Let ev'ry saint, in sore distress, By faith approach his Saviour, God: Then grant, O Lord, thy pard'ning grace, And feed thy church with heav'nly food.

Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 29 Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and pow'r, Ascribe due honors to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud Thro' ev'ry ocean, ev'ry land; His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command. 3 He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind, Lay the wide forest bare around: The fearful hart, and frightened hind, Leap at the terror of the sound. 4 To Lebanon He turns his voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sov'reign on the flood, The thund’rer, reigns for ever king; But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing. 6 In gentler language, there the Lord The counsel of his grace imparts; Amidst the raging storm, his word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.
