Sure wicked Fools, devoid of Shame

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XIV (1767) Topics: Description of Impiety; Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Ascension; Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked; Soul's Desire Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Sure, wicked Fools, devoid of Shame, Suppose that GOD is but a Name: Corrupt and lewd their Practice grows, No Breast with heav'nly Ardor glows; All Thoughts of Virtue they resign, Their Hearts to evil Ways incline. 2 The LORD, from Realms of endless Day, Did all the Sons of Men survey; Look'd down from his exalted Tow'r, To see if any own'd his Pow'r; To see if any Justice knew, Or did the Paths of Truth pursue. 3 But all he saw were gone aside, None took Religion for their Guide, Not one of all the sinful Race, But was degen'rate grown and base, And still in ev'ry wicked Way, With wand'ring Footsteps went astray. 4 Their Throats are open to devour The helpless Poor, when in their Pow'r; Their Mouths with Curses fill'd and Lies, No Fear of GOD's before their Eyes; Their Ways to swift Destruction tend, And must in certain Ruin end. 5 But will these Workers of Deceit, Like Bread, my harmless People eat? And God's Almighty Pow'r disown? 5 How will they tremble then for Fear, When his just Wrath shall them o'ertake! Are they so dull and senseless grown, That they will GOD's great Pow'r disown? Will they not his Commands obey, And yield to his Almighty Sway? 6 How will they tremble then for Fear, When they behold his Vengeance near! When his just Wrath shall them o'ertake; For GOD will ne'er the Just forsake: For them he will his Arm extend, And from the Foe their Lives defend. 7 Bad Men, in vain, with Scorn deride The Just, who follow Virtue's Guide, And strive their Methods to expose; Since GOD a Refuge is for those: His Eyes shall them with Favour view, Whilst they their righteous Paths pursue. 7 Would he his saving Pow'r extend, And now his People's Cause defend; Oh! would he break their servile Band; What Shouts should echo thro' the Land! How should we then our Songs employ, And join the universal Joy! Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English Tune Title: [Sure wicked fools, devoid of shame]

But who can all his Errors see? From secret Faults, LORD, cleanse thou me! 7 Let no presumptuous Sin, O LORD! Obtain Dominion over me; That, by thy Grace preserv'd, I may Far from the great Transgression flee; So shall my Pray'r by thee be bless'd, And I in GOD my Saviour rest.

But all he saw were backward gone, None for Religion car'd - not one 3 But are those Workers of Deceit, So very dull and senseless grown, That they like Bread my People eat, And GOD's Almighty Pow'r disown? Will they his Justice ne'er proclaim, Nor call upon his Holy Name? 4 Their causeless Fears shall stronger grow; And all the Enemies of GOD Shall soon be foil'd; his Hands shall throw Their Limbs and shatter'd Bones abroad. Thus shall thy Foes be cloath'd with Shame, Because thy GOD despiseth them. 5 O let thy saving Help appear, Salvation out of Sion send; Thy People's earnest Prayers hear, And to our constant Sighs attend: When thou shall break our servile Band, Loud Shouts of universal Joy Our Joys shall echo through the Land. Scripture: Psalm 53 Languages: English Tune Title: [The wicked Fool's must sure suppose]

For I have sought no other Home; For I have learnt no other Rest. 3 I cannot live contented here, Without some Glimpses of thy Face; And Heav'n, without thy Presence there, Would be a dark and tiresome Place. 4 When earthly Cares engross the Day, And hold my Thoughts aside from Thee, The shining Hours of chearful Light Are long and tedious Years to me. 5 And if no Ev'ning Visit's paid Between my Saviour and my Soul, How dull the Might! how sad the Shade! How mournfully the Minutes roll! 6 This Flesh of mine might learn as soon To live, yet part with all my Blood; To breathe when vital Air is gone, Or thrive and grow without my Food.
