Pardoning Grace

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

Storm and Thunder

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #XXIX (1785) First Line: Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power, Ascribe due honours to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud Thro' every ocean, every land; His voice divides the watery 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 frighted 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 vallies roar the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sovereign on the flood, The thunderer reigns forever 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. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English

Thou city of our GOD below, Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. 4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew; Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring. 5 When GOD makes up his last account Of natives in his holy mount, ’Twill be an honour to appear As one new-born and nourish'd there.
