Attend, my people, to my law

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Attend, my people, to my law; thereto give thou an ear; the words that from my mouth proceed attentively do hear. 2 My mouth shall speak a parable, and sayings dark of old; 3 the same which we have heard and known, and us our fathers told. 4 We also will them not conceal from their posterity; but to the race that is to come declare them faithfully. The praises of the Lord our God, and his almighty strength, the wondrous works that he hath done, we will show forth at length. 5 His testimony and his law in Israel he did place, and charged our fathers it to show to their succeeding race; 6 that so the race which was to come might well them learn and know; and sons unborn, who should arise, might to their sons them show: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and suffer not to fall his mighty works out of their mind, but keep his precepts all: 8 and might not, like their fathers, be a stiff rebellious race; a race not right in heart; with God whose spirit faithless was. 9 The sons of Ephraim nor bows nor other arms did lack; yet, when the day of battle came, faint-hearted they turned back. 10 They brake God’s covenant, and refused in his commands to go; 11 his works and wonders they forgot, which he to them did show. 12 Things marvellous he brought to pass; their fathers them beheld within the land of Egypt done, yea, even in Zoan’s field. 13 The sea asunder he did cleave, he led them through the deep; and made the waters stand on high, as though they were an heap. 14 With cloud by day, with light of fire all night, he did them guide. 15 He in the desert clave the rocks, and drink as floods supplied. 16 He from the rock brought streams, like floods made waters down to run. 17 yet sinned they still, in desert they provoked the Highest One. 18 For in their heart they tempted God, and, speaking with mistrust, they greedily did meat require to satisfy their lust. 19 Against the Lord himself they spake, and, murmuring, said thus, A table in the wilderness can God prepare for us? 20 Behold, he smote the rock, and streams forth gushed and waters wide: but can he give his people bread, and flesh for them provide? 21 The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth; so kindled was a flame ’gainst Jacob, and ‘gainst Israel up indignation came. 22 For they believed not God, nor trust in his salvation had; 23 though clouds above he did command, and heaven’s doors open made, 24 and manna rained on them, and gave them corn of heaven to eat. 25 Man angels’ food did eat; to them he to the full sent meat. 26 And in the heaven he did cause an eastern wind to blow; and by his power he did direct the southern wind to go. 27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made to rain down them among; And feathered fowls, like to the sand which lies the shore along. 28 At his command amidst their camp these showers of flesh down fell, all round about the tabernacles and tents where they did dwell. 29 So they did eat abundantly, and had of meat their fill; for he did give to them what was their own desire and will. 30 They from their lust had not estranged their heart and their desire; but while the meat was in their mouths, which they did so require, 31 God’s wrath upon them came, and slew the fattest of them all; so that the choice of Israel, o’erthrown by death, did fall. 32 Yet after all the Lord had done they still went on in sin; nor did believe, although his works so wonderful had been. 33 Wherefore their days in vanity he did consume and waste; and by his wrath their wretched years away in grief did haste. 34 But when he slew them, then they did to seek him shew desire; yea, they returned, and after God right early did enquire. 35 And thus the Lord had been their Rock, they did remember then; even that the high almighty God had their Redeemer been. 36 Yet with their mouth they flattered him, and with their tongues they lied; 37 their heart not steadfast was; they from his covenant turned aside. 38 But, full of pity, he forgave their sin, them did not slay, nor stirred up all his wrath, but oft his anger turned away. 39 For that they were but fading flesh to mind he did recall; a wind that passeth soon away, nor doth return at all. 40 How often did they him provoke within the wilderness! And in the desert did him grieve with their rebelliousness! 41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God, and limits they did place upon the High and Holy One, the God of Israel's race. 42 They did not call to mind his power, nor yet the day when he delivered them out of the hand of their fierce enemy; 43 When wonders he in Egypt wrought, and signs in Zoan’s field; 44 their rivers turned into blood; their streams no drink did yield. 45 He sent the fly which them devoured, the frog which did them spoil; 46 He gave the worm their increase all, the locust all their toil. 47 Their vines with hail, their sycamores he with the frost did blast: 48 hail on their beasts, hot thunderbolts upon their flocks, he cast. 49 Fierce anger he let loose on them, and indignation strong, distress and trouble, angels sent of evil them among. 50 He for his wrath made way; their soul from death he did not save; but over to the pestilence their life in judgment gave. 51 In Egypt he the first-born all did smite down everywhere; among the tents of Ham, even those chief of their strength that were. 52 But his own people, like to sheep, thence to go forth he made; and he, amidst the wilderness, them, as a flock, did lead. 53 And he in safety led them on, so that they did not fear; whereas their enemies by the sea quite overwhelmed were. 54 Unto his holy border then the Lord his people led, even to the mount which his right hand for them had purchased. 55 The nations which in Canaan dwelt, by his almighty hand before his people's face he drove out of their native land; Which for inheritance to them by line he did divide, and made the tribes of Israel within their tents abide. 56 Yet God most high they did provoke, and him they tempted still; his testimonies to observe did not incline their will; 57 But like their fathers turned back, and dealt unfaithfully: aside they turned, like a bow that shoots deceitfully. 58 For they to anger did provoke him with their places high; and with their graven images moved him to jealousy. 59 When God heard this, he waxed wroth, and much loathed Israel then: 60 so Shiloh’s tent he left, the tent which he had pitched with men. 61 And he his strength delivered into captivity; he left his glory in the hand of his proud enemy. 62 His people also he gave o’er unto the sword’s fierce rage: and hotly did his anger burn against his heritage. 63 The fire consumed their choice young men; their maids no marriage had; 64 and when their priests fell by the sword, their wives no mourning made. 65 But then the Lord arose, as one who from his sleep awakes; and like a strong man who from wine a shout of triumph makes. 66 Upon his enemies’ backs he made his heavy stroke to fall; to a perpetual reproach and shame he put them all. 67 Moreover, he the tabernacle of Joseph did refuse; the mighty tribe of Ephraim he would in no wise choose: 68 but he the tribe of Judah chose to be the rest above; and of mount Zion he made choice, which he so much did love. 69 He also like unto the heights did build his sanctuary, like to a palace high, Like to the earth which he did found to perpetuity. 70 Of David, that his servant was, he also choice did make, and even from the folds of sheep was pleased him to take: 71 From waiting on the ewes with young, he brought him forth to feed Israel, his inheritance, his people, Jacob’s seed. 72 And so in his integrity of heart he did them feed; and with a wise and skillful hand them prudently did lead.

The earth belongs unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth belongs unto the Lord, and all that it contains; the world that is inhabited, and all that there remains. 2 For the foundations of the same he on the seas did lay, and he hath it established upon the floods to stay. 3 Who is the man that shall ascend into the hill of God? Or who within his holy place shall have a firm abode? 4 Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure, and unto vanity Who hath not lifted up his soul, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 This is the man who shall receive the blessing from the Lord; the God of his salvation shall him righteousness accord. 6 This is the generation who do after him enquire; they Jacob are, who do seek thy face with their whole hearts' desire.

The Peace of God

Author: F. W. Farr Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The world knows not the perfect peace Lyrics: 1 The world knows not the perfect peace The Lord gives to His own; He causeth every sob to cease, He husheth every moan. 2 The world can never take away, Nor mar its blissful rest; It shineth as the perfect day; For those who trust, are blest. 3 The peace of God, it knows no jar, No discord, no distress; It still the clamor of soul-war, And stays its bitterness. 4 It lays the passions of the heart And every vague alarm; It quiets with its magic art Forebodings, fears of harm. 5 O blessed peace, O holy calm, The hush of thy repose Is soothing as the healing balm Which Gilead's forest knows. 6 Descend, O silver-winged dove, Descend with heavenly flight, Diffuse abroad thy perfect love, And fill the world with light.
