Lord! for the just thou dost provide

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XLV (1789) Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Danger at Sea Lyrics: 1 Lord! for the just thou dost provide; Thou art their sure defence: Eternal Wisdom is their guide; Their help Omnipotence. 2 Though they through foreign lands should roam And breathe the tainted air In burning climates, far from home, Yet thou, their God, art there. 3 Thy goodness sweetens ev'ry soil, Makes ev'ry country please; Thou on the snowy hills dost smile, And smooth'st the rugged seas. 4 When waves on waves, to heav'n uprear'd, Defy'd the pilot's art; When terror in each face appear'd, And sorrow in each heart; 5 To thee I rais'd my humble pray'r To snatch me from the grave; I found "thine ear not slow to hear, "Nor short thine arm to save." 6 Thou gav'st the word — the winds did cease, The storms obey'd thy will; The raging sea was hush'd in peace, And ev'ry wave was still. 7 For this, my life in ev'ry state, A life of praise shall be; And death (when death shall be my fate) Shall join my soul to thee.

Chrstians endangered by the cares of the world

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CXCIV (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: World Danger of missing First Line: Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd, To entertain her heav'nly guest; While Mary, ravish'd with her Lord, Sat at his feet, and heard his word. 2 True love divine, in both the same, Let each to glorify his name; Each met her Lord with joyful heart, "But Mary chose the better part." 3 While one prepar'd her earthly bread, The other wanted to be fed; One toil'd with care to spread a feast, The other lean'd on Jesu's breast. 4 Both met the favor of their Lord, His grace for each prepar'd a word; While Mary drank full draughts of love, Grace, careful Martha, did reprove. 5 Thus Christians with the world are vex'd, Oft are encumber'd and perplex'd; Vain tribes so engross their thought, The one thing needful is forgot. 6 Teach us, dear Lord, that part to choose, Which through thy grace we ne'er shall lose; Then could we call the world our own, We'd leave it all to see thy throne.
