In vain opposing nations rage

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #686 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 In vain opposing nations rage, If God with us abide: One word of his dissolves their strength, And humbles all their pride. 2 His wisdom sees correction meet; He gives the dread command, And war its desolation spreads Through every trembling land. 3 His purpose wrought, again he speaks, And desolations cease; War's loud alarms are heard no more, And all the world is peace. 4 Mortals, adore his sov'reign pow'r, Nor dare provoke his rod: Through all your various tribes be still, And know that he is God.

God, to correct the world

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #687 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world, In wrath is slow to rise; But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd, And darkness veils the skies. 2 His banners, lifted high, The nations' God declare, And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd, Spread wonder and despair. 3 All earthly pomp and pride Are in his presence lost; Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns, In wild confusion tost. 4 While war and wo prevail, And desolation wide; In God, the sov'reign Lord of all, The righteous still confide. 5 Mysterious is the course Of his tremendous way: His path is in the trackless winds, And in the foaming sea. 6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds, And from our view conceal'd The righteous Judge will soon appear, In majesty reveal'd! 7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r, The deadly wrath of man; And all the windings will unfold Of his own gracious plan. 8 The sons of tyranny, In ruin shall be hurl'd; And light, and liberty, and bliss, Embrace the new-born world.

On Thee, great Ruler of the skies

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #688 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 On Thee, great Ruler of the skies, On thee our steadfast hope relies; When hostile powers against us join, What aid so present, Lord, as thine! 2 By thee secur'd, no fears we own, Though earth, convuls'd, beneath us groan, Though tempest o'er her surface sweep, And whirl her hills into the deep;-- 3 Though, arm'd with rage, before our eyes That deep in all its horrors rise, While, as the tumult spreads around, The mountains tremble at the sound. 4 Behold fair Sion's blest retreat, Where God has fixt his awful seat; Whose walls to heaven's almighty Lord His chosen residence afford. 5 God, ever watchful, ever nigh Bids storms around her harmless fly; His early care each foe withstands, And backward turns the yielding bands. Scripture: Psalm 44

While Justice waves her vengeful hand

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #689 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 While Justice waves her vengeful hand Tremendous o'er a guilty land, Almighty God, thy awful pow'r With fear and trembling we adore. 2 Where shall we fly but to thy feet? Our only refuge is thy seat; Thy seat where potent mercy pleads, And holds thy thunder from our heads. 3 While peace and plenty blest our days, Where was the tribute of our praise? Ungrateful race! how have we spent The blessings which thy goodness lent! 4 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye; Though loud our crimes for vengeance cry, Let mercy's louder voice prevail, Nor thy long-suffering patience fail. 5 Encourag'd by thy sacred word, May we not plead thy promise, Lord; That when an humble nation mourns, Thy rising wrath to pity turns? 6 O let thy sov'reign grace impart Contrition to each rocky heart; And bid sincere repentance flow, In general, undissembled wo. 7 Fair smiling peace again restore; With plenty bless the pining poor: And may a happy, thankful land, Obedient own thy guardian hand.

While o'er our guilty land, O Lord

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #690 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of thy sword, O whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to thine ears: Oft has thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 On thee our guardian God we call-- Before thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliverance there? And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn-- To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country--spare The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace, indulgent God; We plead thy Son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises.-- And are they unavailing pleas? 6 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down, On guilty lands in helpless woe: Let them prevail to save us too. Scripture: Amos 3:1-6

See, gracious God before thy throne

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #691 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God before thy throne; Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from thy hand Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 Great God, and is Columbia spar'd, Ungrateful as we are! O make thy awful warnings heard, While mercy cries, 'Forbear.' 4 What land so favour'd of the skies, As these apostate States! Our num'rous crimes increasing rise, Yet still thy vengeance waits. 5 How chang'd, alas! are truths divine For error, guilt, and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian's name! 6 Regardless of thy smile or frown, Their pleasures they require; And sink with gay indifference down To everlasting fire. 7 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, By thy unbounded grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face. 8 Then should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never-failing aid, If God, our God is near.

Oh may the power which melts the rock

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #692 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Public and national Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Oh may the power which melts the rock Be felt by all assembled here! Or else our service will but mock The God whom we profess to fear! 2 Lord, while thy judgments shake the land The people's eyes are fix'd on thee! We own thy just uplifted hand, Which thousands cannot, will not see. 3 How long hast thou bestow'd thy care On this indulg'd, ungrateful spot; While other nations far and near, Have envy'd and admir'd our lot. 4 Here peace and liberty have dwelt, The glorious gospel brightly shone; And oft our enemies have felt That God has made our cause his own. 5 But ah! both heaven and earth have heard Our vile requital of his love! We, whom like children he has rear'd, Rebels against his goodness prove. 6 His grace despis'd, his pow'r defy'd, And legions of the blackest crimes; Profaneness, riot, lust, and pride, Are signs that mark the present times. 7 The Lord displeas'd has rais'd his rod; Ah, where are now the faithful few Who tremble for the ark of God, And know what Israel ought to do? 8 Lord, hear thy people every where, Who meet to mourn, confess and pray; The nations and thy churches spare, And let thy wrath be turn'd away.
