Let all the Just with one Consent

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Let all the Just with one Consent, To GOD their chearful Voices raise; For well the Righteous it becomes To sing before him Songs of Praise. 2 Let Harps and Psalteries and Lutes At once in joyful Concert meet; And new-made Songs of loud Applause, The heav'nly Harmony complete. 3 For faithful is the Word of GOD, His wond'rous Works with Truth abound; He Justice loves, and all the Earth Is with his tender Mercy crown'd. 4 By his Almighty Word, at first, The glorious Arch of Heav'n was rear'd; And all the beauteous Hosts of Light, At his Command at once appear'd. 5 The swelling Floods, together roll'd, He makes in mountain Heaps to lie; And lays, as in a Store-house strong, His wat'ry Treasures safely by. 6 Let Earth, and all that dwell therein, Before his Presence trembling stand; For when he spake the Word, 'twas done, 'Twas fix'd by his supreme Command. 7 He, when the Heathen closely plot, Their secret Counsels undermines; His Wisdom ineffectual makes, The foolish Peopl'es rash Designs. 8 Whate'er the mighty LORD decrees, Shall doubtless stand for ever sure; The settled Purpose of his Heart To endless Ages shall endure. Part II 9 How happy then, are they, to whom The LORD supreme, for GOD is known; Whom he, from all the World besides, Has chosen out to be his own! 10 He all the Nations of the Earth, From Heav'n his lofty Throne surveys; He views their Works, and knows their Thoughts, For by his Pow'r their Hearts were made. 11 No King is safe by num'rous Hosts, Their boasted Strength the Strong deceives; No manag'd Horse by Force or Speed, His gallant war-like Rider saves. 12 'Tis GOD, who those that trust in him, Beholds with ever gracious Eyes; He frees their Souls from Death; their Wants, In Times of Famine, he supplies. 13 Our Souls on GOD with Patience, wait, Our Help and only Shield is he; Then, LORD, let still our Hearts rejoice, Because our Trust is plac'd in thee! 14 The Riches of thy Mercy, LORD,, To us, thy Servants still extend! As we, for all our various wants, On thee, our GOD, alone depend. Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Scripture: Psalm 33 Used With Tune: [Let all the just with one consent]

To GOD, our never failing Strength

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To GOD, our never failing Strength, With glad Applause, loudly sing; And jointly make a chearful Noise, To Jacob's great and awful King. 2 Compose a lofty Hymn of Praise, And touch your Instruments of Joy, Let Psalteries and pleasant Harps, With warbling Lutes, your Skill employ. 3 Let Trumpets at the great new Moon, Their animating Voices raise, To celebrate the joyful Time, Th'appointed solemn Day of Praise. 4 For this a Statute was of old, Which Jacob's GOD himself decreed, To be with pious Care observ'd For Times to come, by Israel's Seed. 5 This he, for a Memorial fix'd, In Joseph, freed from Egypt's Land; Strange Nations barb'rous Speech we heard, A Speech we could not understand. 6 "Your bureen'd Shoulders I reliev'd, (Thus seem'd our gracious GOD to say;) "And by my Pow'r your servile Hands, "Were freed from lab'ring in the Clay. 7 Your Ancestors, with Wrongs oppress'd, For timely Help did call on me; With Pity I their Suff'rings saw, and from their Troubles set them free. 8 They fought for me, and from the Clouds In awful Thunder I reply'd; At Meribah's contentious Stream, Their Faith and Duty both were try'd. Part II 9 Whilst I my solemn Will declare, Do thou my chosen People hear; If thou, O Israel! to my Words Wilt lend thy list'ning Ear. 10 Then shall no GOD besides myself, Within thy Limits e'er be found, Nor shalt thou worship any GOD Adored by the Nations round. 11 The LORD thy GOD, am I alone, Who brought thee out of Egypt's Land; 'Tis I that all thy just Desires Do still supply with lib'ral Hand. 12 But they, my chosen Race, refus'd To hearken to my gracious Voice; Nor would rebellious Israel's Sons Make me, with Confidence, their Choice. 13 So I provok'd, resign'd them up, To ev'ry wicked Lust a Prey; And in their own perverse Designs Permitted them to go astray. 14 O that my People wisely would, My just and mild Commandments heed; That Israel in my righteous Ways Would still, with pious Care, proceed. 15 Then should my heavy Judgments fall, On all who would their Pow'r oppose; And my avenging Hand be rais'd To cut off all their daring Foes. 16 Their Enemies, and mine, should all, Before my Footstool lowly bend; But as for them, their happy State Should stand secure, nor know an End. 17 All Parts with Plenty should abound, With fairest Wheat the fruitful Field, The barren clifts of craggy Rocks, For them should richest Honey yield.

Whom should I fear, since GOD to me

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whom should I fear, since GOD to me Is saving Health and glorious Light; He is my Strength against my Foes, What Dangers can my Soul affright? 2 With fierce Intent my Flesh to tear, When cruel Foes beset me round, They stumbled, and their haughty Crests With sudden Ruin struck the Ground. 3 My humble Heart on GOD depends, And dares with mighty Hosts to cope; Since he's my Help, in doubtful War, For certain Conquest I will hope. 4 Henceforth to dwell within his House My Heart's Desire shall ever be; To know his Will I'll there resort, The Beauty of the LORD to see. 5 For there alone my Soul shall find Sweet Rest, in Times of deep Distress, And safe as on a Rock, with Joy, Abide in that secure Recess. 6 Whilst God by his Almighty Pow'r, My Head o'er all my Foes shall raise; My Soul Thank-Offerings shall make, And sing before him Songs of Praise. Part II 7 Continue, LORD, to hear my Voice, Whene'er to thee I humbly cry; In Mercy all my Pray'rs receive, Nor my sincere Request deny. 8 When thou, O LORD, to seek thy Face, Dost us most graciously advise, "Thy glorious Face I'll always seek," My grateful Heart with Joy replies. 9 Then hide not thou thy Face from me, Nor my requests in Wrath reject; Forsake me not, but Aid afford to him thou didst so oft protect. 10 Though Friends, and nearest Relatives, In Troubles, helpless me forsake; Yet thou, whose Love excels them all, In Mercy, Care of me will take. 11 Instruct me in thy Ways, O LORD, In a plain Path do thou me guide; Lest wicked Men, who watch my Steps, Rejoice to see me tread aside. 12 LORD, disappoint my cruel Foes, Lest they obtain their base Desire, Whose lying Lips and bloody Hands, Against me unprovok'd conspire. 13 I did believe my future Life, Should with thy tender Love be crown'd, Or else my fainting Soul had sunk, With Sorrows deep encompass'd round. 14 Wait on the LORD, with Patience hope, And he will timely Aid afford; Still trust in him, yield not to Fear, Wait thou, I say, upon the LORD.

O come, loud Anthems let us sing

Appears in 258 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, loud Anthems let us sing, Loud Thanks to our Almighty King: For we our Voices high should raise, When our Salvation's Rock we praise. 2 Into his Presence let us haste To thank him for his Favours past; To him address in joyful Songs, The Praise that to his Name belongs. 3 For GOD the LORD, enthron'd in State, Is with unrivaled Glory great; A King superior far to all, Whom Gods the Heathen falsely call. 4 The Depths of Earth are in his Hand, Her secret Wealth at his Command; The Strength of Hills that threat the Skies, Subjected to his Empire lies. 5 The rolling Ocean's vast Abyss By the same sov'reign Right is his: 'Tis mov'd by his Almighty Hand, That form'd and fix'd the solid Land. 6 O let us to his Courts repair, And bow with Adoration there: Down on our Knees devoutly, all, Before the LORD our Maker fall. 7 For he's our GOD, our Shepherd he, His Flock and Pasture Sheep are we; If then you'll (like his Flock) draw near, To Day if you his Voice will hear. 8 Let not your harden'd Hearts renew, Your Fathers' Crimes and Judgments too; Nor here provoke my Wrath, as they, In desart Plains of Meribah. 9 When thro' the Wilderness they mov'd, And me with fresh Temptations prov'd, They still, thro' Unbelief, rebell'd, While they my wond'rous Works beheld. 10 They forty Years my Patience griev'd, Tho' daily I their Wants reliev'd: Then--'Tis a faithless Race, I said, Whose Hearts from me have always stray'd; 11 They ne'er will tread my righteous Path, Therefore to them in settled Wrath, Since they despis'd my Rest, I sware, That they should never enter there.
