When God, provok'd with daring crimes
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #607 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Colonies Planted Lyrics:
When God, provoked with daring crimes,
Scourges the madness of the times,
He turns their fields to barren sand,
And dries the rivers from the land.
His word can raise the springs again,
And make the withered mountains green;
Send showery blessings from the skies,
And harvests in the desert rise.
[Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild as they,
He bids th' oppressed and poor repair,
And builds them towns and cities there.
They sow the fields, and trees they plant,
Whose yearly fruit supplies their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
Thus they are blessed; but if they sin,
He lets the heathen nations in;
A savage crew invades their lands,
Their princes die by barb'rous hands.
Their captive sons, exposed to scorn,
Wander unpitied and forlorn;
The country lies unfenced, untilled,
And desolation spreads the field.
Yet if the humbled nation mourns,
Again his dreadful hand he turns;
Again he makes their cities thrive,
And bids the dying churches live.]
The righteous, with a joyful sense,
Admire the works of Providence;
And tongues of atheists shall no more
Blaspheme the God that saints adore.
How few with pious care record
These wondrous dealings of the Lord!
But wise observers still shall find
The Lord is holy, just, and kind.

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CVII.VI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Colonies Planted Lyrics: 35 When God, provok'd with daring crimes,
Scourges the madness of the times,
He turns their fields to barren sand,
And dries the rivers from the land.
36 His word can raise the springs again,
And make the wither'd mountains green,
Send show'ry blessings from the skies;
And harvests in the desert rise.
37 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild as they,
He bids th' opprest and poor repair,
And builds them towns and cities there.
38 They sow the fields, and trees they plant
Whose yearly fruit supplies their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
39 Thus they are blest: but if they sin,
He lets the heathen nations in;
A savage crew invades their lands,
Their princes die by barb'rous hands.
40 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn,
Wander unpiti'd and forlorn;
The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd,
And desolation spreads the field.
41 Yet if the humbled nation mourns
Again his dreadful hand he turns;
Again he makes their cities thrive,
And bids the dying churches live.]
42 The righteous with a joyful sense,
Admire the works of Providence;
And tongues of atheists shall no more,
Blaspheme the God that saints adore.

When God provok'd with daring Crimes
Would you behold the works of God
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #69 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Colonies Planted Lyrics:
Would you behold the works of God,
His wonders in the world abroad,
Go with the mariners, and trace
The unknown regions of the seas.
They leave their native shores behind,
And seize the favor of the wind;
Till God command, and tempests rise
That heave the ocean to the skies.
Now to the heav'ns they mount amain,
Now sink to dreadful deeps again;
What strange affrights young sailors feel,
And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel!
When land is far, and death is nigh,
Lost to all hope, to God they cry;
His mercy hears the loud address,
And sends salvation in distress.
He bids the winds their wrath assuage,
The furious waves forget their rage;
'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see
The haven where they wished to be.
O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
Let them their private off'rings bring,
And in the church his glory sing.
