Power and Government from GOD alone.
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #134 (1740) Topics: Government from God First Line: To Thee, most Holy, and most High Lyrics: 1 To Thee, most Holy, and most High,
To Thee we bring our thankful Praise;
Thy Works declare thy Name is nigh,
Thy Works of Wonder and of grace.
2 Britain was doom'd to be a Slave,
Her Frame dissolv'd, her Fears were great;
When GOD a new Supporter gave,
To bear the Pillars of the state.
3 He from thy Hand receiv'd his Crown,
And swore to rule by wholesome Laws;
His Foot shall tread th' Oppressor down,
His Arm defend the righteous Cause.
4 Let haughty Sinners sink their Pride,
Nor lift so high their scornful Head;
But lay their foolish Thoughts aside,
And own the King that GOD hath made.
5 Such Honours never come by Chance,
Nor do the Winds Promotion blow;
'Tis GOD the Judge doth one advance,
'Tis GOD that lays another low.
6 No vain Pretence to Royal Birth
Shall fix a Tyrant on the throne:
GOD, the great Sov'reign of the Earth,
Will rise, and make his Justice known.
7 [His Hand holds out the dreadful Cup
Of Vengeance, mix'd with various Plagues,
To make the Wicked drink 'em up,
Wring out, and taste the bitter dregs.
8 Now shall the Lord exalt the Just;
And while he tramples on the Proud,
And lays their Glory in the Dust,
My Lips shall sing his Praise aloud.]

Let David, LORD, for evermore
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXII (1767) Topics: Description of The Church: Happiness under the Government of the Messiah; Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Coming and Government Lyrics: 1 Let David, LORD, for evermore
A Place in thy Remembrance find;
Let all the Sorrows he endur'd,
Be ever present in thy Mind.
2 Remember what a solemn Oath
To thee, his LORD supreme, he swore;
How to the mighty GOD he vow'd,
The GOD, whom Jacob's Sons adore.
3 I will not go into my House;
I will not to my Bed ascend;
No soft Repose shall close my Eyes,
No Sleep my drowsy Eye-Lids bend;
4 'Till for the LORD's design'd Abode
I mark the destin'd Ground;
'Till I a decent Place of Rest
For Jacob's GOD have found.
5 Th'appointed Place with Shouts of Joy,
At Euphrata at length we found;
And made the Wood and neighb'ring Fields
Our Songs of Triumph loud resound.
6 Oh! with due Rev'rence, let us then
To his most bless'd Abode repair;
And prostrate at his Footstool fall,
and offer up our humble Pray'r.
7 Arise, O mighty LORD, and now
Possess thy sacred Place of Rest;
Be that not only with thy Ark,
But with thy constant Presence bless'd.
8 Clothe thou thy Priests with Righteousness,
And make thy happy Saints rejoice;
And for thy Servant David's sake,
Attend to thine Anointed's Voice.
9 GOD sware to David in his Truth,
Nor shall his solemn Oath be vain,
One of thy Offspring, after thee,
Upon thy righteous Throne shall reign.
10 And if thy Seed my Cov'nant keep,
And to my holy Laws submit,
Their Children too upon thy Throne
In Safety shall for ever sit.
11 For Sion does, in GOD's Esteem,
All other happy Seats excell;
His Place of everlasting Rest,
The Place where he delights to dwell.
12 Her Store, says he, I will increase,
Her Poor I will with Plenty bless;
Her Saints shall shout aloud for Joy,
Her Priests my saving Health confess.
13 'Tis there that David's Pow'r shall long
Remain, in his successive Line;
And my anointed Servant there,
Shall with perpetual Glory shine.
14 The Faces of his vanquish'd Foes,
Shame and Confusion shall o'erspread;
Whilst, with confirm'd Success, his Crown
Shall flourish on his Royal Head. Scripture: Psalm 132 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let David, Lord, for evermore]
Let David, LORD, for evermore
LORD, let thy just Decrees the King
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXII (1767) Topics: Description of The Church: Happiness under the Government of the Messiah; Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Coming and Government Lyrics: 1 LORD, let thy just Decrees the King
In all his Ways direct;
And let his Son, throughout his Reign,
Thy righteous Laws respect.
So shall he still thy People judge,
With pure and upright Mind;
Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him,
Their just Protector find.
2 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth,
The happy Fruits of Peace;
Which all the Land shall own to be,
The work of Righteousness;
Whilst he the poor and needy Race.
Shall rule with gentle Sway,
And from their humble Necks, shall take
Oppressive Yoaks away.
3 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear
Shall then be rooted fast,
As long as Sun and Moon endure,
Or Time itself shall last.
He shall descend like Rain, that chears
The Meadow's second Birth;
Or like war Show'rs, whose gentle Drops,
Refresh the thirsty Earth.
4 In his blest Days the Just and Good
Shall be with Favour crown'd;
The happy Land shall every where
With endless Peace abound.
His uncontroul'd Dominion shall
From Sea to Sea extend;
Begin at proud Euphrates' Stream,
At Nature's Limits end.
5 To him the Savage Nations round,
Shall bow their servile Heads;
His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust
Where he his Conquest spreads.
The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles,
Shall costly Presents bring;
From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come,
And wealthy Saba's King.
6 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth
His humble Homage pay;
And diff'ring Nations gladly join,
To own his righteous Sway.
For he shall set the needy free,
When they for Succour cry;
Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor,
And all their Wants supply.
Part II
7 His Providence, for needy Souls
Shall due Supplies prepare;
And over their defenceless Lives,
Shall watch with tender Care.
He shall preserve and keep their Souls
From Fraud and Rapine free;
And in his Sight, their guiltless Blood
Of mighty Price shall be.
8 Therefore shall GOD his Life and Reign
To many Years extend;
Whilst Eastern Princes Tribute pay,
And golden Presents send.
For him shall constant Pray'rs be made,
Thro' all his prosp'rous Days;
His just Dominion shall afford
A lasting Theme of Praise.
9 Of useful Grain thro' all the Land,
Great Plenty shall appear;
A Handful sown on Mountain Tops,
A mighty Crop shall bear.
Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds,
A rattling Noise shall yield;
The City too shall thrive, and vie
For Plenty, with the Field.
10 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name,
Thro' endless Years shall run;
His spotless Fame shall shine as bright
And lasting as the Sun.
In him the Nations of the Earth
Shall be completely blest,
And his unbounded Happiness
By ev'ry Tongue confest.
11 Then bless'd be GOD, the mighty LORD,
The GOD whom Israel fears;
Who only wond'rous in his Works,
Beyond Compare, appears.
Let Earth be with His Glory fill'd;
Forever bless his Name;
Whilst to his Praise the list'ning World,
Their glad Assent proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, let thy just Decrees the King]

Not to condemn the sons of men
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #283 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ his personal glories and government; Government of Christ Lyrics:
Not to condemn the sons of men,
Did Christ, the Son of God, appear;
No weapons in his hands are seen,
No flaming sword nor thunder there.
Such was the pity of our God,
He loved the race of man so well,
He sent his Son to bear our load
Of sins, and save our souls from hell.
Sinners, believe the Savior's word,
Trust in his mighty name and live;
A thousand joys his lips afford,
His hands a thousand blessings give.
But vengeance and damnation lies
On rebels who refuse the grace;
Who God's eternal Son despise,
The hottest hell shall be their place.

And saints and angels join to sing,

Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.
Firm as his throne his promise stands,

Then will he own my worthless name
Before his Father's face,

Appoint my soul a place.

[Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart

From rage and passion, noise and war;
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.]

Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supplied, and fed
With living streams and living bread.]
[Blest are the men whose bowels move
And melt with sympathy and love;
From Christ the Lord shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.]
[Blest are the pure, whose hearts arc clean
From the defiling powers of sin;
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.]
[Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife;
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.]
[Blest are the suff'rers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord
Glory and joy are their reward.]

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XLV (1767) Topics: Description of The Church: Happiness under the Government of the Messiah Lyrics: 1 My chearful Mind a good Design shall frame,
Whilst I the King's loud Praise proclaim;
My Tongue directed by my joyful Heart,
Is like the Pen that's us'd with ready Art.
How matchless is thy Form, O King renown'd!
With beaming Glories are thy Temples crown'd,
Thy Mouth with Grace continually o'erflows;
Because fresh Blessings GOD on thee bestows.
2 Gird on thy Sword, O Prince! in Might excel,
Gird on that Sword which doth thy Foes repel;
And clad in Ornaments and rich Array,
Majestic Pomp, resistless Pow'r display:
Ride on in State, and still the Meek protect,
Thy dreadful Wrath against thy Foes direct:
Let thy right Hand with swift Revenge pursue,
All those who strive against the Just and True.
3 The sharpen'd Weapons which thy Hands direct,
Thy humbled Foes shall to thy Will subject;
Down, down they fall, who dare thy Pow'r oppose,
Whilst thro' their Hearts the feather'd Arrow goes;
But thou, O God! shall firmly be enthron'd,
And thy just Rule by all Mankind be own'd;
Thy Sceptre's Sway for ever to endure,
Shall always make thy righteous Laws secure.
4 Because thy Heart hath upright Ways approv'd;
The purest Truth and strictest Justice lov'd;
And hated still in crooked Paths to move,
Where wand'ring Sinners ever thoughtless rove;
Therefore, thy GOD, did thee to reign appoint,
And with the Oil of Joy thy Head anoint:
With Cassia, Aloes and Myrrh abound,
Thy royal Robes, and spread their Odours round.
5 Amongst the honourable Women plac'd,
Do princely Virgins stand, with Beauty grac'd;
The glorious Queen herself in State did stand,
Array'd in golden Robes, at thy right Hand.
But to my Words, O Royal Bride, give Ear,
And my Instructions with Attention hear;
Forget thy Country, and each former Friend,
And on the King alone, with Hope depend.
6 So shall thy Beauty more inviting be;
So shall his constant Love encrease to thee;
Since he's thy LORD, to him thy Homage pay,
And his Affections ne'er shall know decay.
The Tyrian Matrons shall rich Presents make,
And daily strive thy Favours to partake:
The King's fair Daughter inward Graces fill,
Her Raiment is of Gold, adorn'd with Skill.
7 She with her nuptial Garments, wide display'd,
In costly Robes of Needle Work array'd;
While Virgin Trains, attending, stand around,
Shall to the King be brought with Glory crown'd.
With all the State of solemn Pomp can show,
With all the Lustre Riches can bestow;
The grand Procession slowly moves along,
'Till the wide Gates receive the pompous Throng.
8 Then, in the Room thy royal Father grac'd,
Expect to see thy princely Offspring plac'd;
Whom thou in State to diff'rent Realms mayst send,
To govern there, and Justice to defend.
Whilst this my Song, to future Times preserv'd,
Shall tell the Praises, thy great Name deserv'd.
And make the World with one Consent proclaim,
Thy lasting Glory and perpetual Fame. Scripture: Psalm 45 Languages: English Tune Title: [My chearful Mind a good Design shall frame]

Let the whole race of creatures lie
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #71 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 Let the whole race of creatures lie
Abase'd before the Lord!
Whate'er His pow'rful hand has form'd
He governs with a word.
2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies
Were into motion brought,
All the long years and worlds to come
Stood present to his thought.
3 There's not a sparrow or a worm
O'erlook'd in his decrees;
He raises monarchs to a throne,
Or sinks with equal ease.
4 If light attend the course I go,
'Tis he provides the rays;
And 'tis His hand that hides the sun,
If darkness cloud my days.
5 Trusting his wisdom and his love,
I would not wish to know
What in the book of His decrees
Awaits me here below.
6 Be this alone my fervent pray'r:
Whate'er my lot shall be,
Or joys, or sorrows, may they form
My soul for heav'n and thee! Languages: English
