Curst with deceitful joy his sottich heart

Author: Thomas Cradock Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 Curst with deceitful joy his sottish heart, His soul with fancied happiness alert, His flagrant guilt against the wicked cries; There is no fear of God before his eyes. 2 With soothing plea and artful argument He lulls his conscience to a false content; In vain his crimes are of the blackest die, And call for dreadful vengeance from on high. 3 For lo! his tongue is tipt with frauds and lies, Him to deceive, who on his faith relies; In wordly craft he chuses to excel, And with celestial wisdom shuns to dwell. 4 Averse to goodness is his headstrong will, E'en on his downy bed he studies ill; With eyes askance the paths of virtue views, And 'gainst his better mind the worse pursues. 5 While thy great mercy, Lord, the heav'ns above, And all thy works, and all thy creatures prove. 6 For higher than the highest hills, does show Thy goodness deeper, than the depths below. Thy goodness, which the sons of men sustains, And all the hearts that range the wilds and plains. 7 Who can thy great beneficence express, The various gifts with which thy mercies bless? E'en while with gratitude thy love he sings, Man rests beneath the shadow of thy wings. 8 On him thou nameless bounties dost bestow; To him the rivers of thy pleasures flow; 9 From thee life's fountain springs; from thee a ray The mind illumes, and spreads eternal day. 10 O still the blessings of thy love impart To all that serve thee with a perfect heart; 11 Me from th' insulting heel of pride defend; 'Gainst the destroying hand assistance lend; 12 Soon let them feel the vengeance of thy pow'r, And fall so low, that they may rise no more.

Desiring to praise God for the experience of his goodness

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 36:7 First Line: The loving kindness of the Lord, delightful theme Lyrics: The loving kindness of the Lord, (Delightful theme!) demands my lays: Thou, worthy to be lov'd, ador'd, O teach my heart to sing thy praise! In vain my heart with pleasure tries, My God, to count thy mercies o'er; So numerous and so bright they rise, I gaze, I wonder, I adore! Yet, all the powers I have are thine, For thee, those powers I would employ; And dedicate to love divine, With humble gratitude and joy. The sweet experience of thy grace Which animates my voice to sing; Incites my soul to seek thy face, And trust the shelter of thy wing. Thy guardian wing alone can bless; I find repose and safety there; The kindest refuge of distress A sure relief in every care. O let the wretched sons of woe To thee apply, on thee depend: And bid the drooping mourners know In thee a never-failing friend. Could e'er one soul in deep distress That fled to thee for refuge say, "Indulgent mercy would not bless, and justice frown'd my hopes away?" Ah no, a thousand thousand tongues Thy love and truth, adoring own, And offer their united songs With grateful joy before thy throne. Not e'en those happy minds can trace, With all their powers renew'd, refin'd, The boundless glories of thy grace, O thou omnipotently kind! Ah how shall these poor languid powers With frail mortality opprest, Display the grace my soul adored? How speak the transports of the blest? Dear Lord, accept my heart's desire, Till death shall close these mortal days! Then bid me join the heavenly choir, And sing thy everlasting praise!
